HAS NO RIGHT
TO FORGE NAME
Pennsylvania Courts Say That II Is
Unlawful to Forge Own Name.

Pittsubrg, Pa, May S.-Whether a
man can forge his name is ques-
ton which the local courts have to
decide. All clubdom in Pittsburg is
talking OF the ca, which grew out
OF pool game playeu at the gay
and ultra-exclusive Duquesne Club
between Byron Robertson. a we'll
known wealthy iron broker and Ken
nedy Ewing. equally we'll known and
wealthy.
The game had been going for some
time, and was getting trife slow
when one of the players suggested
mat they play for side bet of
$1,000. Ewing lost the game and
very promptly drew his check book
from his pocket and wrote check
Tor the amount on the Second Ma
tional Bank. Robertson deposited
the check, but was called to the bank
later and informed that the sigma
ture was not that OF Ewing. Rob.
ertson protested, declaring he had
seen Ewing sign IL. But the cashier
was obdurate. and showed him Ew-
ing's legal signature which was Who'll
iy different from the one attached to
the check.
Robertson went TO Ewing for an
explanation, but II is alleged that
Ewing treated the whole matter as
Joke, and merely laughed at Rob
ertson. But Robertson was angry
and placed the matter in the hands OF
John McCleave. one OF the best
known attorneys at Pittsubrg. There
II now rests.
Robertson and Ewing Indignantly
refuse to discuss the matter at all
Attorney McCleave, when seen. ad
mitted that the case was I'm his hand,
but declares that an attempt is be
ing made to settle IT outside the
courts. II II does reach there. II (,
very probable that interesting testi.
mony will be forthcoming.
