cured from the banks he swindled be-
fore his capture and punishment. But
the bankers of FL Paso were too
shrewd for him. He was told he would
have to get an endorsement and he
went out and forged the name of a
prominent citizen as an endorser. He
returned and presented his check with
this endorsement. but the bank men
said they would send out and see IL it
was o. k. and while they awaited the
coming of the endorser the swindler
disappeared as effectually as If the
earth had swallowed him up.
He was here in February and the
same month he showed up at Ogden.
Utah. where he swindled the CONNER
cial National bank out of 5000 and
made good his escape. His next at
tempt was at Albuquerque on March
4th, last, where he secured 5000 and
was captured.
His name is believed to be Charles
b. Hogg but he seldom uses that name
in his workings of the banks Some of
his aliases are Maddox. Thompson. Nc
Donald. Fryer. Wilson and Benton.
IL is not yet known what disposition
will be made of this smooth criminal
