Younk Man Secured Articles From
Merchants But Claims Money
Had Been Depesifed--Case
o. Continued.
Mobile. Jan. sO---fspecial)l--A post
ponement until Saturday was taken
when the case OF J. B. Barclay. the
young white man held for giving
bogus checks was called in the Recor-
der's Court this morning but some
startling evidence was brought out.
The checks which Barclay gave 10
merchants Of Mobile were on regular
check blanks of the Peoples Bank OF
Lexington. Va. which he claims as ms
home.
sydney Lowenstein OF the Bank OF
Mobile appeared at the trial and testi-
fled that Investigation proved that
there was no such bank as the People
Bank in Lexington, Va.
when Barclay heard this evidence
he confessed that he had had the check
blanks printed in Mobile. Strange TO
say the young man did not endeavor
10 get any money out of his swindles
but gave merchants checks for the
exact amount to which his purchases
came. Barclay states that there Is
evidently some mistake as his brother
in Lexington. Va. told him he would
deposit twelve hundred dollars to his
credit against which he could draw
ana Barclay states that 1t was this
money which he was giving checks
against and which It develops is not
on deposit.
Barclay has not telegraphed to any
relatives or to the brother In question
of his plight and this Is considered
strong evidence against him.
He is member Of the Knights OF
Pythias, In good standing and men,
bers. of the local lodges are investigat-
ing the case. IRit Is q worthy one
