and o. neatly made and covered as
though 1t held the body of IN infant.
The casket lay in state for some hours,

viewed by many. When the time
came to lower the coffin into the
ground four boys acted rs pallbearers
and few appropriate words we're
spoken as the box was lowered into
the earth.

a SixteenYear-Old Negro Boy Passes
Bogus Checks.
& There is Il young, n very young. and
yet very accomplished forger in Wake
county Jail today.
Madison Mial is his name. He is a
negro boy, sixteen years old, the son of
Joe Mial, who lives in East Raleigh
and works for Brewer & Thompson,
cotton brokers on Wilmington street.
Young Mai had a preliminary hear
ing before Mayor Russ yesterday morn
ing, and was bound over to court in Il
bond of 5000. Failing to give bail he
was taken to Jail
The Negroes crime consisted in draw
ing two chccks-one for so, and one for
$2J-payablc to William Jones. and
signing the name of Brtton Pearce, a
negro fish dealer in the market to them
The so check was presented at the
Raleigh National bank last Saturday,
presented Tuesday. and the young
forger was promptly arrested.
Saturday, when the first check was
presented, business was brisk, and
Cashier Briggs did not closely inspect
ever he examined the check more par
ticularly and at once pronounced it
bogus. Britt0n Pcarce was at the time
at Fort Macon When he returned he
found not only that his name had been
forged and money secured on it, but
his check book also had been stolen.

And come again he did Tuesday, with
a check this time for $50. When he
presented it, Mr.. Briggs went out and

On trial yesterday morning Mial made
a full confession. He said he once
worked for Pearcc q White, and in his
employ he learned that he kept his
money in the Raleigh National bank.
At that time, though, he had no thought
of forging his name to get it out.

Asked rs to Pearce's check book, the
boy denied having any knowledge of it.
The two white boys, Hubert Horton
and Hubert Goodwin, happened to be at
the trial and were called in as witnesses,
but they denied ever showing Mial how
to forge Il check.
On the evidence and the boys confess
sion, Mayor Russ sent him on to court
fixing the bond at 500 in each case.
