 Two SIS and seven $15 checks, all
 drawn on the Citizens Bank, and s.gned by J. w. Hood, the contractor who recently completed the Citizens Bank and Office building here, his name being forged to them, were passed on nine downtown merchants in less than two hours and ot until he had misstated an address-41O Hickory street-at the store of the Tedstrom Fufll,ure Company Was h, suspicio-.al. The man passed an eighteenLdollar check there and asked that some 'urnr' |: be sent tc tho Hickory street number, there being no such number. He received some mon- ey ill advance and departed, and the police were then notified. City De- tective Glover caught Alexander as he was going up the ssail way at hls room Ing house, He took him to head quarters, where the prisoner said he was from Little Rock and had a wife and two children living there. He declined to make known his right name or theirs.
 It developed after Alexander's ar rest that he had passed another SIS check on the Voss-Nichol Company Where he purchased a gun and took the balance ill money. Fifteen dollar checks were cashed by the Leverenz- Trulock Shoe Company, Kastor and Bluthenthal, the Dreyfus Department Store, J. B. Simon Company, Stern & Levi.

 According to the proprietors of the establishments Wictimized, Alexander or Parker called at their places be- fore p. m. Saturday and inspected goods. He said he was working for J. W. Hood and would get paid off at 6
 o'clock and would return for the goods and pay for them. He kept his word at each store and cashed the nine cheeks 'n rapid order.
 During the afternon Alexander in- troduced himself to Mr. Hood at the Citizens Bank building and represent ed himself as a property owner from another city He told MT. Hood he wanted to contract with him for the erection of a $4OOOO building and af- ter talking the matter over with h m for some time, pulled card from his pocket and asked the contractor to write his name on it, that he might write him about the matter. After securing MT. Hoods signature, the man departed and then proceeded to duplicate 1t on the blank checks which We're afterwards cashed.
 There were no papers of any kind on the prisoners person that might lead to his identity or any previous crime, In his grip at the rooming house the officers found $16 in mon- ey and the gun purchased from Voss- Nichol.
