CASHED WORTHLESS CHECK
Banks Had Closed and Burling ton
Man Accommodated Stranger.

\ clever piece Of forgery netted a
stranger So a week ago Saturday. when

be a worthless piece of pape,' in the store
of the B. l.. Kent company, The paper
purported to be a certified check and had
all of the marks of such document. so

on 1t. A. r. White, the manager, had no
hesitancy in accommodating him Mon
day. however. the check came back with
IA note from the Washington Loan & Trust
company saying that there was no such
account in the institution and that the
paper was worthless.
II is evident that the man has been play
ing the game in other places for the
bankers in Washington say the writing
Is idcnti"al with that on 1ther checks
which have turned up in various places
The check had no printed name of a firm
on it but was one of the regular blank
checks of the bank and the name signed
was that OF George Henderson and COM
panY. 1t was made out to c. Moore, and
the certified part of it was stamped with
Il rubber stamp such as banks use. The
writing on the face seemed to be radically
different from that of the endorsement

one person are employed in the game.

that there is little likelihood that he can
