Gainesville ant-American: Something
of a sensation was created In Cartersville
last Thursday evening by the arrest OF A. $.
Quillian. charged with forgery, and the coun-
ter charge Of perjury against J. n. Garwood,
who was also arrested. and both placed under
bond. Both gentlemen are held in high eS-
TEEN, and both have many friends in Carriers
vile. The trouble arose over the settlement
OF the business between the partners Of the
old firm of GarwOOd Bros. q Quillian. and
more directly over a check for 50, 200 in favor
OF a. s. Quillan, which had been cashed by
the First National Bank Of Gainesville. The
firm has recently come into the possession Of
their insurance money, which was deposited
with the First National Bank, and they
had agreed among themselves that neither
of them would draw any money from the
bank without the individual signature Of
each member Of the firm. The check pre-
sented by Mr.. Quillian was regularly drawn
for s2T0J and had the three signatures OF j.

this check had been paid by the bank he
swore out warrant charging A. 5. Quillian
with forgery, and Mr.. Quillian svore out a
warrant charging him with perjury. The
case was carried before Squire T. n. Stan
ford Saturday morning and continued until
Tuesday morning, when both cases were
dropped by mutual consent. Mr.

had signed the check leav-
ing the amount blank. which was TO be filled
in by Mr.. Quillian for such amount as the firm
was due @. II. Gilreath for his services as ar
. bitrator: that Mr.. Qulllian had filed in the
amount Of $500, and secured that amount for
his'individual use. Mr.. Quillian states that
be and the Garwood Bros. had agreed to a
settlement by which he should have - 40 for
his portion and that the check was complete
when the other parties signed it, and called
for The II 7C0 The testimony before the
court was as much a. variance as the state
lnents of the principals in the case. and as
the cases were Withdrawn no decision was
reached.
