The following from Our Prison
Light contains large grain of truth.
The forger referred to is, undoubted-
ly, Leslie Scott, who it is generally
supposed will escape all punishment,
through the Intervention of infuen-
tial friends. The boy didn't have
these so he must suffer for a much
less crime if, indeed, he was guilty
at all. Here is the story told by the
Light:
Recently young man employed in
one of our National banks, getting a
fat salary, passed forged check for
about $4,000 He was arrested with
in an hour or so, gave false name,
was searched and on his person was
found other checks cleverly forged to
over $4,000. 1t was found that in
several places he had tried to pass
forged checks.
Bail was set at the small sum of
$4,000 and he was soon at liberty
again.
The forger was well educated, held
several good positions of trnst and
honor, had large salary, a comfor-
table home, he simply wanted more
money, and proceeded to get it.
A short time ago we were present
at the trial of young man who was
a common laborer. He was poorly
educated, and the man for whom be
worked owed him 5000. 1t had been
customary for the boy to write out
store orders for his employer to be
presented for payment. This had
been frequently done with the con-
sent and at the request OF the EN-.
ployer.
At this particular time 5000 was
due the boy, as his employer admit
ted in court. An order for this a.
mount was written, as the boy said,
at the request of his employer. The
latter denied giving consent to this
particular order, and was believed by
the jury. The boy claimed the "old
man was mad because l did not re.
turn to work, and so had me arrest
ed"
No one was wronged out of cent
even if it had been forgery.
The boy lay in Jail for months un.
der $4,000 bail, then was sent tC
prison at hard labor for months.
How about the bank forger? Why
the usual way. His friends "fxed i
up" and he is free man holding :
good position in town. Never laid s
day in Jail, say nothing of stat,
prison.
The above is true to life. Boil
cases took place very recently ant
both in this county.
This state of things will not al
ways be tolerated by the mass of thu
people. JUSTICE says, One Law
For Rich and Poor. This must b,
had or soon there will be no law, n,
