deposited in a bank on Wednesday. By
that time White had left Topeka. Other
forgeries are reported to have been
committed in Topeka by White.
The forgery was reported to Sheriff

the trunk had been delayed in being
sent forward from Topeka. Lucas
found the check numbers on the trunk
and followed it to Kansas City Thurs
day. He found the trunk in the bag

livered Lucas stopped the expressman

men in the house.
Lucas then went to the house for
White but found that he was not there
and that he had gone to Oklahoma to
work on a bridge construction gang.
