stracting drafts and money from her
trunk and forging the name of his
wife and her sister, Miss Nicholson,
to the same, concluded to plead guilty
to the charge of forgery and trust to
the court to let him out of the scrape
as easily as possible. Hedrick, with
the other prisoners indicted by the
last grand jury, was taken into court
to plead, and he entered a plea OF
guilty to the forgery charge. This
was done with the agreement that the
second Indictment, charging the utter
ance of forged check be dismissed,
and this was done. The maximum
penalty for forgery is ten years at
hard labor. January 20 was the date
fixed for sentence.
