Tillman Looks Well but Behaves
Very Badly
MANY MOURNERS ARE LEFT
TO Wish That Bank Checks Were Always
Certified
The Younn Man PrudentIy Leaves Town and
10 Not Likely to Return-Sociai
and Personal


q we'll appearing young man, who was
employed three months ago as clerk
for Samuel Leach Of the Los Angeles
house, Is being looked for by a number
of people whom he has swindled out of
different sums with bogus checks. About
two weeks ago he went on a drunken
spree, obtaining the means at a South
Fair Oaks avenue restaurant About this
time Tillman deposited with Mr.. Leach
three checks on San Francisco banks to
the amount of $43014. AS many of the
checks as have been sent up north for
collection have been declined by the
banks. Mrs. Lee of the Los Angeles
house lent Tillman IS on a $72 check
which she finds was worthless. He
cashed a check for SITS at Thomas res
taurant on South Fair Oaks, paying a
bill Of 1928 out Of it. Miss Bradford, who
cashed another check for $50, got $50 for
, it at Kelley's grocery. She loses the
whole amount II this check also proves
worthless. Still another check was
given on the Pasadena bank with prom
ises that the funds for 1t would be pro-
vided the next morning. But they were
not forthcoming. Yesterday Tillman
was in town and promised to straighten
everything up, but he has since disap-
peared.
