denheimer and John NJ. Parker. who
are accused of securing $1,000 On
forged check from the German Insur-
ance bank, Of this city, are prisoners
in the county Jail here charged with
forgery.
The men were brought here Thurs
day night from Cincinnati. They were
accompanied by Messrs John Morris,
Freedenheimer's sterfather and W. $.
Parker, father of the other pri.oner.
Young Parker is the most stu oborn
man the detectives have had to deal

Thursday ii ght about the case was
that he threw his snare of the money
in the river.
Chief Hangar says the men will be
prosecuted to the full extent Of thu
law. 1t is believed that had Iarke,
returned what ne had, what the oya
spent would have been made good. and
there would have been no proseo ution.
The German Insurance bank has re-
tanned Aaron kohn, prominent GRIM
inal lawyer, to prosecute the case.
After the boys had been lock ed in
cells Mr. Parker pleaded with his son
to tell where the money was, bu; with
no success. Chief Hsager gives it as
his opinion that the boy, believing his
father will make good the amount
and prevent prosecution, has decided to
keep quiet so as to have a stake on his
release.
