ON A TECHNICALLY
Gains Release When Prosecutor
Fails to Prove Forgery

OAKLAND, April 24.-One of the
cleverest swindling schemes that has
been perpetrated on a California bank
was revealed in the police court this
morning in the preliminary examina-
tion of Raleigh Faulkner. known to
the police of Seattle, and charged here
with forgery by Ralph Bishop of $50
Thirtieth street. Bishop cashed a
draft for s75 at Faulkner's request
and on presenting it at the Crocker
national bank, San Francisco, was re-
fused payment because Faulkner, it
was said, had previously negotiated a
duplicate of the paper
Both drafts were drawn by August
Nelson, and the complaint sworn to by
Bishop accused Faulkner of forging
Nelson's name. But because no such
person as August Nelson could be
found, the police could not establish
the forgery, nor could they prove even
that the drafts were fictitious. In
consequence, Faulkner was released
Faulkner came to Oakland from
Seattle There he had been in trouble
