a FORGED CHECK.
Attempt to SwindIe the
California Bank.
Wisdom of the Teller in Refusing to
Pay So Large sum to
Messenger Boy.

The California Bank narrowly escaped
bonoring a forged check for $225O last
Thursday morning, and all the efforts of
the police to find the culprit have so far
proven fruitless.
The scheme, which was very simple
one, must have been planned by a clever
swIndler, and it only failed owing to an
extreme amount Of caution on the part of
sam Beaver, the paying teller. Just
about midday an American District mes
senger boy walked into the bank and PEE
scented Sam Beaver with a check for
$3.50, in favor of A. +. Ball. an attorney
whose Office is in the Merchants Exchange
building. half a block from the California
Bank. The cheek bore the signature OF
sam Beavers brother, George W. Beaver,
perfectly o. k; indeed, no doubt as TO its
genuineness entered the mind OF the bank
emDloye.
He did not. however, care 20 deliver so
large sum into the hands OF messenger
boy, and retaining the check. told the
little fellow to run over to MIR. Balls Office
and tell that gentleman that he had better
come for the money himself.
In short time the boy returned. There
must have been some mistake" he said.
Il have seen Mr. Ball and he KEOWs moth
ing about the check"
came possessed of the paper the boy, who
gave tie name of Morris Marks, stated
that lie had BEEN called to Mr.. BalPs office
In the doorway man had accosted him,
stating that he was Mr.. Ball. and hat he
wished Marks to run over to the bank and
get the money, while he waited on the
stairway ill ne returned. Il have just
been to Mr.. Balls Office and be is rot the
man and knows nothing about the check"
added the messenger.
It was seen at once that some designing
swindler must have borrowed Mr.. Balls
name in order to defraud the bank.
Marks stated that the man who had
given him the check was no longer on the
stairway Of the Merchants Exchange.
10 order to lure him back, however,
several rolls of silver to resemble gold
were given the boy by the bank officials
and he was ordered TO return 10 the Mer-
chants Exchange and look out for the
pretended Mr.. Ball. The messenger boy
carried out his part OF this programme
faithfully, but without any result.
l. is believed that either the man who
gave Marks the cIeVerly forged check fol-
lowed him 10 the bank and became alarmed
when the boy came out first without the
money, or else that there were several
swiDdlers in the scheme and that all
Marks actions were watched. In any
case the forger received timely warning
and fed ia time to escape arrest.
