FORGERY IS CHARGED
c. c. CONE, SON or A MINISTER, IN
 CITY PRISON.
He is . News "Butcher" and 10 Accused of Passing Worthless Check on G. w. Barnett of
 MOntgOmery.

c. c. Cone, a young white man. 1s years old, and employed by the Cres- cent News Company as news "butch- CT" on trains between Birmingham and Montgomery. was arrested at s:eo o'clock last night by Special Omcer Paul Rapport of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company for forg- ing a cheek on c. w. Barnett, a well knowh merchant or montgomery for $75.
 Cone was arrested on the north- bound Louisville and Nashville passen- ger train just as 1t was pulling out or Montgomery and was taken to the city prison, where he was identified by Bradford Duncan, clerk in MT. Bar nett's employ. as being the right man. He was locked up when MT. Barnett reached the station and swore out a warrant charging him with forgery.
 The young man was neatly dressed and presented a genteei appearance.
 When asked by Detective Rapport at police headquarters why he had forged the check. having admitted previously his guilt, Cone answered that he must have been crazy.
 The bit of paper that caused the young mans downfall was on the Mer- chants and Farmers Bank of Union Springs. It was presented on March [ to MT. Barnett with the signature of the boys father, J. F. Cone of Enon. Ala, signed to it. Mir. Barnett knew J. F. Cone and he had met the boy before in company with his father. He cashed the check, but when it was sent by the bank to young Cones father in Enon, 1t was returned with the information that Mir. Cone refused to honor 1t and that the check was a forgery.
 The police department was notified and the Montgomery officers have been on the lookout for him since. As young Cone made his headquarters in Birmingham and was extremely eau tious in his movements whenever he came to Montgomery. he had not been apprehended until caught by Detective Rapport last night.
 The father of the boy Is minister and is blind. He sent word that he wanted the boy arrested
 It was said at the police station that Cone had passed a worthless check on Lucille Johnson, a white woman of Montgomery, for $30. and that the wo- man had announced that sne would come to the station and swear out a warrant for him. The woman and Cone arc both of Bullock County and she thought she knew him we'll enough to trust him. Other charges are ex- pected by the police.
 Cone will have a hearing before Re- corder Arringto this afternoon.
