Birmingham age-herald., 1894-11-13
IN THE COURTS.

necled With 1t IS now on trial In the circulb court.
 The latter part of February, 1892, M. Gellhorn presented check for S4000 to John G.. Bradley with the request that the latter indorse it. Gellhorn was indebted to Mf. Bradley to the amount of &1600, and in order to collect what was due him the latter indorsed it and the check was taken to the Birmingham National bank, where it was cashed, $500 going to Mir. Bradley's credit and Gellhorn receiving the balance, S2500. The check was drawn on the Park National bank of New York by the Gate City National bank of Atlanta.
 The day following the cashing of the check Gellhorn left the city, and so far as is known here his present location is mystery.
 Gellhorn had been secretary of the Co., operative bank of North America and later broker in bonds. Some of his trRn nsac- tions, 1t is said, were of such character as to cast suspicion upon him, and an investi gation of tue check cashed by the Bir- mingham National bank was begun. This soon developed the fact that the check had originally been made payable to 5. Fltts and was for only S2. These had been erased and the name of John c. Bradley sub stituted for Pitts and the check raised from $2 to $4000. So perfect was the work that half dozen experts have been unable, after the closest scrutiny, to detect any altera- tions. But there was fraud, It is claimed,
  This threw 1t back on the Birmingham Ma. tional, and suit was entered against MT. Bradley to recover the whole amount.
 similar suit is pending in the same National bank being the plaintiff. The Alabama National absorbed the Birming- ham National about two years ago.
 Judgment was rendered yesterday against the Birmingham Mining and Manufactur- ing company and in favor of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company for $46s. Mackey, Norton & Co. vs. J. J. Clapp; judgment for $377.92
