at the St. Nicholas Hotel last spring.
In April, 1898, the grand jury of An

charging Talbot with forgery. At
that time he was out of the city, hav-

to the bank by way of indemnity.
Shortly after this transaction the bank
learned that the real estate had been
sold to other parties previous to their
receipt of title, though they learned
that the first deed had not been re-

millinery store belonging to his wife,

Talbot had been in Shreveport, La,

in and out Of the city. After coming
to ST. Louis he and his female COM

to her husband. Later she obtained a
divorce, and since that time has been
making her home In Eas: St. Louis.
