A report was received at the District At
Sorney's Office today that Gilbert b. Towles
was arrested this morning in Philadelphia,
Pa. Towles is a brother and partner in
business OF Henry o. Towles. by whom
he was accused some time ago OF raising
q certain check, which the latter had en-
dorsed
The arrest of Towles is the result OF
sn affidavit filed by Henry o. Towles. as
a defence in the suit Of Thomas w Smith
against Charles c. Bryan. Zenos c. Rob
bins Henry o. TOwles. and Gilbert O.
T0wles, for the collection Of a prOmissory
note for 81 600. The suit was filed on No
vember q last. and on December 20 Henry
o. Towles in an affidavit set up as COM
plete defence that his brother Gilbert b.
Towles had raised and materially altered
the check in question. He further stated
that this was done. without his knowledge
or consent, by his brother. who raised the
amount Of the check and otherwise materi-
ally changed it.
A few days after doing this Henry o.
Towles declares that his brother admitted
to him having raised the note in question
The condition CT affairs was called 10 the
attention of the grand jury by District At
torney Anderson. and a full and complete
Investigation was commenced. A number
OF witnesses Conversant with the business
transactions i'm which the parties to tie
suit are interested. were examined Up 10

nent of an Indictment being found against

Jion with the same Transaction hCated.
When Henry 0. TOwles fled his affidavit

Gilbert B. TOwles. in an interview denied
the accusation In most positive terms. He
admitted having written all the promisso-
Ty notes in question, but said it was done
with the full knowledge Of all the parties
concerned.
From the nature Of the circumstances
under which the notes were made. he
stated ne alone knew the amounts for
which 70 would be necessary that the notes
should bc made He would then inform his
brother and the others interested as ia
this amount and often the checks would be
sent 20 him endorsed. either in blank OF
with the amount filled in in lead pencil
When this was done he would fill in the
amount in ink and that he said is all the
connection he ever had with the making OF
the pTumissOry notes iu question.
