Man Suspected wno Called and
Wanted Money on Pair Of shOes.N

A man giving the name OF Albert A
Phelps was arrested at Pulaski late
Thursday afternoon, as tn eresult Of q
check TRANSACTION, in whic ha check
was passed on a Pulaski merchant
which was Aligned McKennon, Ander
son q Foster.
The check was for $12.50, and after
eashing 1t the merchant seems to have
become alarmed and he phoned NC
Kennon, Anderson & Foster to ascer.
tain II the check was genuine. The
arm notified him that they had issued
no such check, whereupon Phelps was
arrested. He returned the money,
however and was released. Later the
sheriff of Giles county phoned and
asked Sheriff Goodwin II he wanted
Phelps re-arrested, and the sheriff
told him yes, and he was again taken
into custody.
The firm OF McKennon, Anderson q
Foster consulted with the sheriff and
other officials here, and decided to
send one of their clerks to Pulaski
to swear out warrant against Phelps
and he will be prosecuted at Pulaski
as he could not be prosecuted in this
county as the check was cashed In
Giles county. Tom McClain, one or
the clerks of the arm, accordingly
went to Pulaski this morning to swear
out tn ewarrant.
The firm does not know who the
man is but have suspicious which are
sppareutly well grounde Thursday
afternoon young man, probably thir-
ty years old called at the store and
asked that the money be returned for
a pair of Florsheim shoes, which he
said he could not wear as they did not
at him. H esaid his father had sent
him the shoes On examination the
clerk who waited on the stranger
found the shoes had not been purchas-
ed of McKennon, Anderson & Foster
az they did not contain their mark.
The young man also stated that he
did not know whether the shoes we're
bought in Nashville or Columbia. Fall
ing to obtain the cost of the shoes
which was about $500, he offered to
sell them to one of the clerks for
$3.50, and then offered to take $500,
but the clery did not care to take any
chances in the purchase Of the shoes
80 no sale was made. The young man
carried suit case an dwas stranger
to the clerk.
The check was plain check and
was not one OF the kind used by the
firm, but 1t is supposed that 1t was
procured somcwhere in this city.
While the Pulaski merchant recover
ed the money the firm here feel that
the fellow possessing the check should
be prosecuted for fear further
transactions, and for the effect It will
have on others who may contemplate
similar method sof high finance.
Had the Pulaski merchant phoned
before cashlng tn echeck he would
have saved himself the great risk
which he ran by cashing it first and
Investigating afterwards.
