A Pittsburg paper of last week noted an
odd case as follows: Lawyer Oliver D.
Thompson who obliged Joseph F. Weaver,
waiter at the Pittsburg Club, about
year ago, by identifying him at the Colum-
bia National Bank, so that he could get a
draft cashed for 81, 064, will have to pay
the money with interest.
The suit against Lawyer Thompson was
brought by Mrs Margaret Z. Blake. Sne
was a client of Lawyer o. P. Scsife, Jr.
also a member of the club, and sent him a
draft through the mail. 1t had not been
properly indorsed and Scaife wrote her q
letter telling her to fix it up and return.
Weaver was given the letter to mail, but
instead kept it, forged Mrs. Blsse's name
and got Lawyer Thompson to identity MIN
at the bank Weaver was sent to the pen
itentiary. He got as far as Newark, N. j:
before being arrested. Mrs. Blake entered
suit for the amount of the draft with inter
est, and the jury rendered averdict against
Thompson.
