Morgan on Trial.

| Fred Morgan was arraigEed before
! Judge NeWcomb yesterday, charged
| with forgery in three cases, and false
| pretenses. Morgan, on October II, tried
TO get $40 from the Merchants and
Mechanics bank by presenting a letter
OF introduction with the name of At
torney c. f. Daniels forged to it. This
he supplemented with a draft with the
name of Attorney w. NJ. Bunnell
forged to it, and a telegram that pur-
ported to come from Cashier Bachman,
Of the Phillipsburg bank. All his ef-
forts to get the. money proved unavail-
ing.
The ne.:t day he sent 4 boy to the
drug store Of Gustav Piechel, at Adams
avenue and Pine street, with a note
which contained the name of Dr. j. f.
Saltry. 1t asked Mr.. Piechel to give
the messenger a gallon of Whiskey and
$40 in cash less the price of the whis-
key Mr.. Piecfel did as the note re-
Questcd, and the whiskey and the
money was delivered to Morgan, who
had forged the name of DR.. Saltry to
the note.
Morgan denied all knowledge Of the
latter transaction, and made a. desper-
ate effort to explain the attempt to get
money from the bank. He was de-
Tended ably by Attorneys T. A. Dona-
hoe and w. w. Johnston, who con-
tended that their client is insane and
n proper subject for the asylum rather
than the penitentiary. Just before ad-
journment the jury Went out to de-
liberate on the case.
