Il new development in the Griswold
murder mystery and adds color TO

While the local detective depart

clues to aid in the discovery of the
| motive for sGriswofd's disappearance,
| these three notes were held by Des
| Moines men or institutions waiting
for their maturity. Their presence
was not made known until the notice
| that they had been negotiated reach
cd the Rockford bank, and u. r. Nit
chell, the cashier upon whom they
had been drawn. pronounced them
'oTgeries.
Only one OF the notes was actual
~ sent In to the Rockford institution,
but following its arrival few days
ago came notices Of two others of
like character and for similar
amounts. one Of them held by the Des
Molnes National bank and the other
by AtWater Cook. h loan agent OF this
city. all three of which have been pro-
nounced by y. r. Mitchell OF the
Rockford State bank TO be forseries
pure and simple.
The first note. received by Mr.. Nit
chell about ten days ago. was made
payable TO George X. Griswold in the
sum of $4,000 and was signed with
MitcheIl's name and dated July IS.
Since its receipt notices Of the two
notes in Des Moines were received
by Mr.. Mitchell. with requests from
the holders to notify them ut once as
to whether they were good.
Mr.. Mitchell has pronounced all
three of the notes to be out and out
forgeries. and presumably executed
by Griswold. as they are all made
payable to him. The significance of
the date Is explained by the fact that
on July Is. three days previous TO
the time at which they are dated. Mr..
NHcnell gave MS personal CnecR TOT
$4,000 to Griswold In payment of
an amount owed by him to the State

the three forged notes July ~ was
to confuse The two deals
and throw off any suspicion whlcn
might arise as to the validity of the
notes at the time they were first con
verified into cash.
Some time ago Mr.. Mitchell had
dealings with the State Mutual Life
