YOUNG Philips DISGRACE
tcontinued from First Page.3

DR.. Paxton, who is now living at East
Hampstead, L.I., was notified, and said
that the man had no authority to use his
name.
,.Mr. BurIeigh wrote to Judge Phillips
and received IN reply most patheticletter
asking him to talk to and frighten his son
and then send him home. Mr.. Phillips said
that his boys character had always been
OF the best until he began gambling on the
races. He said he believed that his son
syyas insane. but he hadn't sufficient proof
or it to have him sent to q retreat.
Meanwhile young Phillips had uttered
other worthless checks, and on Monday
called on j. A. Ivers. manager of Ladoux
& Co., chemists, or No. 9 Cliff street, and
presented check, signed John r. Paxton,
for S5B. requesting cash tor the same.
He was given $b and told to return at
10 O. m. yesterday for the remainder
By sending to the bank 1t was discovered
that not only was the signer's name forged,
but that what purportedto be acertificatioS
by Cashier Dean was also forgery.
When Phillips called yesterday he was
arrested He broke down, and, coufessing
his guilt, admitted that he had issued six
checks with DE. Paxton's forged sigma
ture to them. The total sum realized was
less than $780, Phillips was not asked
to plead, but was locked up in the Tombs
until tomorrow when his father will be
present to represent him.
Judge Phillips will probably do what
he legally can TO save his unfortunate
son from the conseouences OF his mis-
deeds
