WARRANT SWORN
CHARGES FORGERY
EDWARD PHELPS WHO PASSED
CHECK IN PULASKI LoDG-
ED IN JAIL

Tom McClane, representing the
firm of McKennon, Anderson & Eos

swear out q warrant against a man
giving his name as Edward Phelps.
charging forgery, returned late in the
afternoon, after having disposed OF
the business for which he went to Pu-
lasKL
The warrant was served on Phelps
and he was lodged in jail at Pulaski.
/ Phelps adopted a very shrewd plan
in passing the check, and 1t seems he
wrote 1t here, and then placing 1t In
an envelope addressed it to himself at
Pulaski, so as to make it appear ne
had just received it, which seems to
have been literally true. According
to report ne told two stories, one OF
which was very weird, while the 9th
or was not 30 bad. One story being
to the effect that he had sold McKen-
non, of the firm, suit Of clothes. and
the check for twelve dollars, was In
payment. The other story being that
he was window dresser, and had
worked for the firm, and that Mr.. Nc
Kennon, being called away by
"horse trade" and being in a curry
wrote the check, which he cashCd In
Pulaski. He bought a shirt 70 ra dol
lar and twenty cents, getting the bal
ance In cash. The merchant who
cashed the check recovered the mon
ey, and the shirt
The fellow declined to say where
his home was.
Mr.. McClane identified Phelps as
the man who called In the store on
Thursday and wanted the money re-
turned on a pair of shoes.
1t seems that Phelps objected
strongly to a warrant being sworn out
against him, claiming that 1t would
"break his mothers heart" apparent
ly placing blame on others, whore eth
ers are not at fault.

these confederates, says:

comes pretty near guessing correctly
