FORGERY A SERIOUS CRIME.
The Young Man From Charter Oak

1t is so necessary for the business
world to protect itself against the
crime of forgery that the penalties
are seemingly severe. If lad in an
Ill advised moment writes the name of
another to check for even small
amount. he is liable to be punis ed
worse than as if he had killed fell
low being. 1t almost seems like go
ing back to the days when man was
hanged for stealing chicken to read
the penalties for forgery. Recently
in our own county two lads were
given 500 fine for entering a
freight car and taking out goods.
while the young man who forged his
employers name at Charter Oak was
sent to the penitentary for fifteen
years.
Judge Powers had no dissertation in
the matter under the new law. Hap
PLY there is another side to this long
term, for the same law which made
the judge give the full sentences pro-
vided for board of pardon which was
authorized to consider each case and
to remit part of the time to persons
who were punised enough and would
be benefited by being set at liberty.
Little did that boy think when under
the influence of liquor he signed his
employers name that he was doing
something that would put him in the
Jail many long months and land him
in the state penitentiary for fifteen
years.
The example of young Frank
Dryer can we'll serve as warning to
others. He has many friends who
will Immediately make the proper
presentation of facts before the board
of pardon and it is expected he will
not nave to serve very long.
