SAYS IT'S A FORGEsY.
Check for Twenty-Five Dollars Passed on
Morrill, s. Ross

s.
Tuesday young lad called at Morrill,

and purporting to come from Mr.. George
E. Philbrook, No. 104 Neal street. pre-
senting note, asking the firm to cash the
enclosed check as favor and send the
money back By the bearer. AS Dir. Phil
brook had been favored in this way sew
eral times the money was sent and the
check passed into the Portland National
bank, on which it was drawn, for collec-
ton. The check was apparently made by
W. K. Neal of the firm OF Coombs &
Neal, in favor of Mr.. Philbrook, and en-
dorsed by Mr.. Philbrook. The notebore
handwriting not dissimilar to Mr. Phil
brooks, but was signed George e. Phil
brook and that gentleman signs Geo. e.
Philbrook.
Now it happens that Mr.. Neal doesn t
have any personal account with the
Portland National bank, but the firms OF
Coombs & Neal does, SO yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Neal IS attention was called to the
check by the bank officials. That gentle
man at once denied having drawn any
such check and stated that his name upon
it was q forgery. Mr.. Philbrook also de-
clared that his endorsement on the check
was 9 forgery, and the note to Morrill,
q Ross was also forged.
