secure money upon his signature until
the end Of the month, when he was
notified by the Delaware County State
bank that he had overdraWn his ac-,
count. Upon investigation It was
found that number Of bogus checks
bearing his name had been drawn an !
cashed, and suspicion at once fastened
upon the Williams lad, who had lett
his place short time before.
One check for $10.75 was cashed at
the Atkinson grocery, where the boy
bought seventy-tive cents worth of
stuff, receiving ten dollars in cash. AT
Aliens clothing store he made put
chases to the amount Of 81. rendering

ing considerable sums Of money in ex-
change to balance the amount called
for in the forged paper.
