Piled Out Checks
And Endorsed Them,

Buncoed West Union
People outof a big
lot Of Money in
that way.

Carl Romine, Of Johnstown, son OF
waldo P. Romine and aged about q
wears. was arrested here at 8 o'clock
Tuesday night on the serious charge
Of forgery.
Rnmine went into the Globe cloth
ing store and bargained for an over
coat, presenting check in payment.
Proprietor 1. Wintrob became sus-
pIclous of the check and went out up
on the street to Investigate 1t. The
check was on the Merchants National
bank and was one Of j. T. Swager's
blanks, Mr.. Wintrob went direct to
Swager's hotel and ascertained that
'Romine had secured the blank there
and partially or wholly filed 1t out
before leaving the hotel. This con-
irned Mr.. Wintrob's suspicious and
he notified Detective G. w. Law and
oiicer Kester, who went to the store
and stood sentinel outsideof the store
while Mr.. Wintrob entered and com
pleted the trade with young Romine.
The check was for s2l.s9 purporting to
have been signed by Porter Maxwell
and was made payable to Carol Queen.
Romine in Mr.. Wlntrob's presence en-
dorsed the name Of Carl Queen ON the
check, not using his own name at all.
The officers also saw him do this AS
soon as this was done the officers
nabbed him.
Romine was taken that night before
SQUIRE j. N. David on a warrant for
forgery. He waived examination and
was held for the grand jury in $1,000
sond, and committed to jail in default
ofbcnd.
Two other uncashed checks were
found upon him, one for $40 in favor
Of G. W. Stout and purportingt to have
been signed by ]. @. johnson, and the
other for s5. 80 made payable to J. g
Gantz and purporting havebeen.
signed by W. G. Gavis. They were
both drawn on the West Virginia
bank.
The same day Thomas c. White s
Son cashed suspicious and probably
spurious check for $3.50. John G.
Johnson's name was signed to the
check and it was made payable to
John r. Champ but endorsed by c. Is.
Champ. The man who made the
check was also the endorser as the
handwriting was the same in both in
stances.
