MOORE IS HELD
 TO GRAND JURY
UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER BINDS OVER YOUNG MAN WHO RAISED A MONEY oRDER-HE IS WELL KNOWN IN NASHVILLE.

C. B. Moore, the young man who is in the county jail on the charge of raising a postal money order. has been held to the federal grand jury in the sum of $1OOO by United States Commissioner Birch.
 It appears that before coming to Bir- mingham young Moore did some of his work aroua1 Nashville
 The Banner of recent date said:
 There appears to be quite a gang of men throughout the country that are en- gagged in securing money orders In coun- try towns for small amounts, 25 and DO cents, and raising the order from $50 to sl0O, making them payable to another party and drawn on a differenct office from the one originally given by the postmaster where the order emanates. They become experts and by the use of acids erase the original names and amounts aud substitute other names and different amounts. Within the last two weeks there were two money orders pro- cured at Brownsville, Tenn, for 25 cents CaSAly DdydDl0 lO OT0eT OI u. Lynn & Co.,, of New York. The party pro- curing thsae two orders came to Nash vile, erased the name of J. Lynn & Go. and the amount of 20 cents and made them payabls to w. H. Cunningham for $50. Both Of these orders were cashed in Nashville by two well-known firms, A. Markle and Berg & Ellis. The discovery nnl.- upon preser tation of the orders and the facts were wired at once to the postoffice inspector in charge at Chattanooga, Tenn.
 "On Thursday last, the identical party that raised the orders in Nashville was arrested In Birmingham, where he was attempting the same thing with other money orders and Is now in jail in Bir- mlngham, where he will be tried, and will also be indicted in the federal court at Nashville, Tenn. and the chances are by the time 1J gets through. his sojourn in federal prison will cover very many years.
 'The course pursued by these parties generally is to present these orders on Saturday evening after the banks are closed; thay will buy some clothing, or anything they can, and get the change in money. In the Nashville cases they bought from A. Marl5le a watch for $15 and got $35 in cash, and from Berg & Ellis an overcoat for $2o and got s3o in cash. The party arrested in Birmingham had disposed of the watch and also the overcoat. ',lt the inspector hopes yet to find them.
