:. SIGNED AS " ATTORNEY" j."
BANK OFFICIALS GATHER HOPE FROM
NEW MGARRY CHECK FOR 100000.

Another large transaction of the late John J.
MCGarry. Of Brooklyn. came 10 light yesterday.
and is likely TO cause some trouble for a Brook
lyn and a Manhattan bank. This time il is
check for S10000O issued in the name Of Mrs.
Della McGarry mother Of John J. McGarry, by
a Manhattan bank. and deposited by her son
dorsed Della McGarry by John J. McGarry
attorney" II is said that McGarry drew heav-
ily against this deposit. and that Mrs. McGarry
is likely 10 repudiate the signature. as she has
every other signature on notes and checks ne
gotated by John j McGarry.
The trust company maintains that the sigma
ture on the check is genuine but as it has no
admitted signatures with which 10 make COM
paris0ns il is thought that this will he difficult
70 prove and that the company may have TO
assume the responsibility for the money paid TO
John !. McGarry. II is said. however. that in
case the check is proved forgery the Man
haitian bank may be compelled TO stand part
Of the loss.
The check was deposited with the Brooklyn
Trust Company last August. II was accepted
because Mrs. MCGarry had had ar account with
the trust company since 1S!}S. A few days later
Mr.. McGarry presented a check bearing the
signature OF his mother. and. il is said drew out
the entire SlbNUuU. The sigma ture on the check
was never disputed until after McGar~y's death.
The bank officials hope 10 prove that John J.
McEarrv held power of attorney from his
mother. and that his action in drawing the
check on Manhattan bank and deDOsiting il
with the Brooklyn Trust Company was legal
once the check was accepted 10y the Brooklyn
Trust Company and hOnored by the Manhattan
bank MCfsa-~E had no trouble in drawing upon
thought that the Manhattan institution viii be
the loser.
