arranged to cash the checks in different
banks.
Wright gave Cook S1.1O0 in cash, and a
lew days ago the latter appeared again
with S,l00 in checks. The bank officials
began an investigation and found that
the checks had been forged. Other sim
liar transactions have been reported from
the interior, which lead to the SUPPOSE
ton that the total receipts by the forger-
les will not fall short of $780, 600.
Treasurer Cornelius y. Bliss of the ma
tional committee says that Cook had no
connection with that body. Mr.. Bliss
said Cook was once associated with a
suh-treasury official and once had I'M
dertaken to organize a political literary
bureau, and in that way had secured let
tiers from the. members of the committee
On the strength of these letters the man
had obtained funds. The sum of $500 had
been traced to him, Mr.. Bliss said. He
believes that the real sum obtained by
Cook is greater.
