YOUTHFUL CHECK LETTERS
 BOUND OVER
New London Boys of IA Years Have Serious Charge Against Them.

Samuel Selikowitch and Allie Beck CT, of New London, both IA years old, charged with fraudulent check trans action, were bound over to the supe- rior court Wednesday by Police Judge Crandall. They were held in $500 bond each for appearance at the September term of court Becker was charged with the forgery of a check. Seliko- witch, formerly charged with forgery, was made a defendant to the charge of theft of a check.
 Prosecuting Attorney Cronin said that both boys came of respectable families He agreed with their coun- sel that the bonds as named by the court are sufficient. Judge Colt was disqualiffed from sitting on the Beck CT case as the Union bank, of New London, of which he is vice president, was involved in the Becker forgery.
 The case against Selikowitch was continued from July Il. He was ar rested in Westerly for theft of S10 and the check for S704S was then found in his possession together with two other checks which have not entered into the prosecution. The check was drawn by Mrs. Mary T. Alderdice in favor of Lyon & Ewald, by whom SelikoWitch was employed. He slipped three checks in his pocl<- ct al the postoffice, and his claim is, forgot to turn them over when he them and was afraid of being prose- cuted The state was prepared to show that Selikowitch had attempted to secure payment on the checks.
 The charge of forgery growing out of the fraudulent signing of these checks by Selikowitch or other boys, was nolled Judge entertained a sub stitute complaint of theft of the sim gle check, to which, according to the testimony of State Policeman William k. Jackson, Selikowitch confessed. The court refused MT. Hollandersl1y' s request to take final jurisdiction in the case and held the boy.
 Becker's counsel, Max Boyer, de- murred to the complaint, alleging for gerry of a check for $50 against the account of M Boyer at the Union bank. Demurrers were overruled in each ease.

r. A. Society Disbands-

AS something of a surprise to the general public comes the disbanding of the Father Matthew T. A. society Until recently the society was one of the most fiourishing organizations of Greeneville or in fact of the city Of late there has been a general falling off of the membership and a decided lack of interest shown by the remain ing members. Because of this it was thought best by the officers and others of the society to disband for the pres ent, but an effort may be made to stimulate interest again in the near future. There was no financial diff culty in the organization as there is a substantial balance in the treas ury. The club rooms in Carpen- ter's hall have been given up and the furnishings will be disposed of
