FEMALE FORGER STILL
BATTLES THE POLICE
They Now Believe Size Has Dccampcd
With Male Confederate She Is
Thought to Work With.

In spite of the active search of the
police, the female forger who success
fully used the signature OF the Utah
Mining Machinery & S upply company
To at least seven checks last Saturday
is still at liberty. and the detectives
find themselves fairly baffled, & sS +
Seven of the bad checks have come.
TO light, five for the amount OF s1i.55os
each and two for SIT each. These
checks were passed on NJ. Nadel, NJ:
Levy, j. Burrows & Co, Barton 4 Co.,
Banks Millinery Co.. "A. Cline. pawn
broker, and the Popular Clothing COM
pany.
The checks were all made in fayor5ot
Miss Lillian Al. Lewis, and signed by
the machinery company with the forged
signature of j e. Gallagher At each
of the stores the woman made small
purchases rendering the check in pr ~
Inent ard receiving the change.
The operator Is described as
man of girlish appearance, of slendtbS
build and with auburn hair. AT some
of the stores she wore glasses evident
3Iy using the spectacles as a means cot
changing identity. 1t is the opinion
of the police that the girl was a corr.
federate, the principal being a man
who had secured the blank checks, fill
ing them in and giving them torthe
woman to pass S.s
II is figured that in addition to the
goods obtained. the cash proceeds from
| the forged checks would amount to SO
or $50. and the theory. now is that the
| woman left the city Saturday night.
| The fact OF her discovery as an i'm
postor at Cutler Bros. gives color to
! this belief.
