paying teller certified it.
Yesterday Clifton went to Thomas Cook
q Sons office at 26l Broadway and wanted
two steamship tickets for Antwerp. He
onered the check in payment.
A. w. Smith, the clerk he saw, asked him
II he wouldn't like to have his change In
the form OF letter of credit, and Clifton
said he wouldn't mind. Smith told him
he would have to wait little while to have
the letter Of credit made out.
Smith thought it might be we'll to be sure

suited the stubs. The number Of the 81, 800
check was the number of the s2.94 check
the firm had drawn.
Then the bank was called on the tele-
phone. Yes, the paying teller had certified

Meantime Clifton was waiting In the
ticket Office unaware Of the telephoning.
When Detectives Connolly and Feiger OF
the Leonard at rect st ation appeared and
introduced themselves to Smith, Smith
handed Clifton the two tickets to Antwerp
and the letter Of credit. AS Clifton started
to walk out he was arrested.
He took his arrest ooolly and made no
stat ement. BY the time he had reached
the Leonard street station Vice-President
Parker and the paying teller Of the Second
National had arrived. Clifton was lined
up with several other men and the paying
teller picked him out az the man who had
presented the check to be cert flied. Then
Clifton was locked up charged with grand
larceny for taking the steamship tickets
and the letter Of credit. 1t will be easier
to prove that charge than to prove forgery.
