customers of the bank whose

reported He is Mike Miller, an

used in subduing him. He appeared
at headquarters bloody from large
welts and cuts on his face and
head He was patched up in the
Nemergency hospital.
Although Miller was intoxicated,
he was able to tell the officers of
the holdup. He was walking along
BERNARD street when two men
stepped out of the alley south of
Riverside avenue and grabbed
him. at the same time striking him
and dragging him back into the
darkness. He fought desperately
before finally overcome. The hold

TIE WAY MANY
BANKS ARE BEATEN

Banks have always been temtp-
ing prey to the ingenious rogue.
Forgery, of course, is the method
readiest at hand. One of the first
criminals of note who adopted this
method was Charles Price, better
known as old Patch" He made
his own Bank of England note
paper, with the proper Watermarks,
engraved his own plates and manu-
featured his own ink, but never
passed his own notes. He always
employed innocent persons. He
was skilful in DISCUSSES none of his
dupes ever saw the real man. He
was run to earth through his own
imprudence; he hanged himself in
his cell the night of his arrest.
Probably the most accomplished
forger in the annals of crime was
James Saward. His limitations of
signatures were amazing. He was
the head of a gang of thieves, and
burglars with whom he had deal
ings were specially instructed to
appropriate check books A check
book once in his possession Saward
made it his business to get the
signatures of persons who had ac-
counts in the bank issuing the
book. The rest, of course, was
easy. Like "Old Patch he never
presented the forged checks per
sonally. He always made use of an
unsophisticated youth, obtained
through an advertisement. The
carelessness of confederate
brought him to grief.
The most sensational of all bank
frauds were undoubtedly those
committed by the Bidwell gang.
Their exploits are too well known
to need more than brief recapitula-
ton, and they show an odd resem-
blance to a recent fraud on a much
smaller scale,
One of the Bidwells, having
opened an account at the West End
branch Of the Bank of England
threw dust in the eyes of the Off
Gals by presenting genuine bills
which the bank discounted III the
usual way. When the gang could
act without suspicion they boldly
poured in forged bills, which were
also discounted. The rogues bag
ged in this way over G1000O0. The
omission of a date led to the dis
covery of the swindle.
The dishonest employee Is fac
tor with which banks are continu
ally being faced, The largest frauds
have nearly always been commit
| ted by people inside the bank
Robert Aslett, the nephew o
Abraham Newland, who far 81
years was cashier Of the Bank o
| England heads the list. He als'
was cashier of the bank, and b
forged exchequer bonds to the tul'
of G342,697. Even although thi'
was proved he escaped punish
ment by managing &c slip tlirous
