CARTER
ARRESTED FOR
STOCK FORGERY

Albert Gary Garter, president Of the
Carter Motor Car Corporation. with eX-
ecutive offices in this city, was arrest
ed this morning on a charge of forgery
The warrant for Mr.. Carters arrest
was sworn out by William L. Dunham,
OF III G street. VINO alleges Mr.. Carter
committed a forgery on 500 shares Of
the company -spital stock.
Mr.. Dunhm went to the Police Court
Wednesday and. after stating the facts
in the case, Assistant District Attorney
Ralph Given issued a warrant for Mr.
Carter's arrest. Central Office Detec-
tiyes Parham and O'Brien went to the
company's offices this morning and
served the papers on Carter.
He was brought to Police Headquar-
ters, and Immediately sent for his at
tOrneys. Eugene A. Jones and Michael
keane. The district attorneys office
demanded 81 f90 bond for Mr. Carter's
release, which amount he furnished.
Mr.. Carter states that when the COM
pany was first organized Mr.. Dunham
was given the stock certificate for ser
vices which he was TO perform as an
officer. Soon afterwards he says Dun
ham resigned without performing the
services. Tho stock belonging TO Off
GERS of the couapny is not supposed to
be transferable. said Mr.. Carter, but
this was omitted in the certificate issued
10 Dunham.
Therefore. when he turned in the
stock TO have IL transferred in accord
ance with an agreement at q recent
meeting CT the directors. did not make
the transfer and inserted the words
not transferable therein. to prevent
Dunham from hawking the stock on
the streets, which we understand he
was attempting TO do I did this 10
prevent his dispOsng Of the stock untn
we can go in the court and have him
dispossessed Of the certificate. as 1t does
not belong to him. The action was
taken in behalf of the other stockhold-
ers. I am unable to see how Dunbar
can term such an act as forgery, as il
was entirely within the province Of the
company to make the stock nontrans-
feTable. as il was intended when is

BELIEVE TRUE
CONFESSION Of
NEGRO TROOPER

GALVESTON, March 22.-Maj. A. P.
BlOckson, of the Inspector Generals s
Office Of the United States Army. who
is in Galveston today making a second
investigation in the alleged confession
of the negro calling himself D. c. Gray,
and claiming TO be one of the negro sol
diers engaged in the Brownsville shoot
ing. is firmly convinced. although he has
been unable to find the man, that he
was telling the truth.
Lieutenant Chamberlain came here
last Monday. and after a cursOry ex-
animation of only a few hours, boldly
called the story a fake. This careless
dismissal of such an important matter
created Indignation, not only in Calves
ton. but elsewhere in Texas, as it was
claimed that the story bore every in
ternal evidence of being true.
The two reporters who obtained the
confession have made affidavit to their
share in the proceedings, one of them
is himself a former soldier who served
with distinction in the PHILIPPINES, and
believes the negro was not lying.
