Sage Admits
.....He is Guilty
The Bank Forgcr Caught in II
Trap From Which he Cannot
ENtricatc Himself.

The story OF George Sage's esca.
pa,le> have been told over and over
again in these columns, until every
reader is familiar with hi, daring
deeds Of forgery
Sage was put on trial At Baltimore
on Monday, charged with swindling
the Hartford National Bank nj Bel
Air out of $1,000 by forgery. Ills
plea was that he was not the man who
committed the forgery-that it was a
case Of mistaken identity, hut the evi.
dence against him was 80 strong that
on Wednesday he gave up the decep-
ton and admitted his guilt. Rev.
Ralph Coursey, Thomas l.. johnson,
Edgar Bratteu aud Lawrence Hastings
of Snow Hill were among the witnesse.
summoned toideniify Sage alias Baker.
They left here sunday night aud drove
10 Pocomoke where they took the mid
night express 10 enable them To reach
Baltimore in time for the trial.
Early in the second days trial Of
the ease il became evident that the
defense set up by the counsel Of Sage
would not hold and was making no
impression either on the court or the
jury. His only hope was to prove
that he was not the man who visited
Belair aud swindled the Hartford
County National Bank, and, when
witness after witness took the stand
and testified that he was the man. his
counsel saw that they were on the
losing side. At 1924 o'clock there
was recess Of 80 minutes, and during
that time the counsel Of the prisoner,
John :. Young. Of Bel Air; Thomas &.
Ruddell aud A. Foley Butler. held Il
consultation. aud after an interview
with their client advised him 10 plead
guilty.
After Lawrence Tasting. had idcuii.
fed Sage the court took recess, and
then the case was abandoned by the
defense. Sage, when seen BY reporter.
refused 10 talk Oh M, subject.
Sentence was deferred but sag will
probably get ten years
