Tor music and filed excellently the DO
clifton CT organist with a church choir
TO which he belonged. Charles WAS 40
years old and immensely popular.
Ever 10 the front where religious
exercises were concerned, in October,
1892, he had arranged for a grand song
recital by the choir, when lust az
plans for the entertainment were in

Then, much to the horror of bis ac-
quaintances, Ii transpired that the en-.
terpr1sing Mr.. Davidson had passed n
series OF forged notes on the Bank of
Hamilton, some of them the notes Of
nop-existent presons. and others the
alleged notes of farmers who had
never signed them. The department
OF justice promptly detailed Wilson
Murray on the case. and that saga.
cious hunter of wrongdoers called ON
James Turnbull. manager OF the bank.
70 talk over the matter with him.
From the first the manager was in
sistent that Davidson be brought back
and punished. no matter at what cost
II was not alone the sum Of money
taken from the bank in this particular
instance that Influenced Turnbull In
his determination. Following the prin.
ciple which leads a farmer to nail n
dead crow to a post as a warning TO
other despoilers Of his crops. the
bank manager argued that to css-
Wet Davidson would deter Other
would-be forgers from exercising their
talents at the expense Of his treasury
vaults.

caused Murray 70 travel over 10000
