other was named Stewart and came
from Colorado. They had known each
other years ago but had not met for
some time. Daily represented himself
to be an agent OF Moffett, Q big banker
in Denver, but told Mr.. Stewart that
he was out Of money and asked him to
endorse check on Dallas bank. Mr..
Stewart thinking he WAS all right,
signed the check. The two afterwards
arranged TO go to Mexico together,
but Daily has not been seen since.
Yesterday the check came back from
Dallas refused by the bank and M.
Stewart had to pay the amount, 500.
