National Bank by Bogus
Cheque.

few moments after the First National
Bank opened up its doors this morning
for business. a tall dark complexioned
man, well dressed. stepped up to the pay
ing teiIers window. and presenting
check for $1,000, asked Paying Teller ON
Derson TO cash it. The check was drawn
by the crew-Levick. Oil Company, whose
plant is located at Monmouth street and
Hoboken avenue. The firm has an ae-
count at the First National Bank, and
Mr.. Omberson knew that the check was
good, but he was somewhat suspicious OF
the man who presented it.
He detained the man for few minutes,
and had one of the clerks notify Special
Detective Robert Ferrier. who placed the
intruder under arrest. The check, which
was presented by the man was made pay
able to John Goggin. and was stamped
with the regular stamp of the Crew
Levick Company.
At Police Headquarters the prisoner ad-
mitted to Chief of Police Murphy that his
name was John Goggin, thirty-two years
of age, of No. 244 Tenth street. When
questioned as to how he came into pos
session of the check he said that he had
broken into the Crew-Levick Company
office and that he bursted open one of the
desk drawers. where he found the check
and the rubber stamp and filled out the
check himself.
Chief of Police Murphy said this morn
ing that Goggin is well known to the po-
lice of this city, having been arrested
several times before, and having served
time for breaking and entering.
He will be arraigned before Justice
Hoos in the First Criminal Court tomor-
row morning.

less than $40. The bell boys at the Lau-
rel House, where ne occupies a magnif-
cent suite OF rooms. are getting rich
Whenever his bell rings their rush fair
ly shakes the building. Mr. Moore now
enjoys the reputation Of being the most
lavish and prodigal Of all the million
aires who have ever visited Lakewood
He brought with him an orchestra TO
which he took a fancy at Hot Springs,
Va He had a toothache the other day

dentist and private dentists chair
from Chicago.
Mr. Moore carries his physician, Dr.
II. L. Knight. Of 81. Louis with him. lie
offers the use Of his horses 10 his ac-
quaintances. and whcn one took a special
fancy TO an animal Mr.. Moore gave IL to
