Check by Prisoner,

Lawyer Retained, Also Paid With Bad
Check by Prisoner.
Los Angeles Frank C. Smith, alias
DR.. j G. Day, who was arrested in
Portland and is held in the county Jail
awaiting trial on charge Of embez-
element, has added another original
chapter to his career by passing bad
checks on his jailer and his lawyer
when in q state of incarceration. So
far as known he is the only prisoner
confined here who ever succeeded in
such feat.
Smiths victims were George Gal
lagher, chief jailer of the county in
stitution, and the law firm of Wisler
& Vermilyea. The prisoner retained
Henry M. Wisler to defend him. One
check was given the attorney as a
retaining fee, while Gallagher got his
in payment for certain exceptional
privileges accorded prisoners who are
able to pay for extra comforts.
Both checks came back from the
South Spring Street bank, on which
they were drawn, bearing the nota-
tion, "No funds Smith had secured
some cash and special privileges for
the checks.
