he visits foreign parts and wants to

Playmate, of Hot Springs, is in Jail
here. Playmate is alleged to have
reached through the grating of the
Burlington passenger depot at Min

ing a check for $3.50 from a mail box
there. He went to Edgemont and pre-
sented it at a bank there, having
forged the endorsement, it is claimed.

advised him to take it to the bank on
which i was drawn and in the mean
time telephOned the other bank, and
when Playmate arrived there he was
arrested. He was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Palmer
