CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Negro Had Used Spurious Southern
Railroad Checks.

Griffin, Ga, Feb 27.-Will Ellis. colored,
is in Jail in this city charged with forg-
ing checks on the Southern Railway.
For some time past some offender has
been passing forged checks upon the citi-
zens of different cities in the state, but
no cue could be had until Saturday, when
C. Cohen, merchant in this city, who
had cashed a check of $40 on the Southern
Railroad for Win Ellis had the check re-
fused by the Bank in Atlanta. Cohen re-
ported the affair to Officers Phelps and
Gordon, who lost no time in beginning an
investigation and before midnight had
their man in jail.
Ellis claims he was given the check
with the request 60 have it cashed and
that his accomplice is the guilty party
The police are on the trail of others con,
nected in the forgery, and will no doubt
arrest all.
