FINDS CHECK THAT
MAY BE FORGERY

A check for Sc drawn on the Cen
tral Bank of this city was found on
the street this morning by a woman
who took it TO the bank. The check
bore the signature Of a well known
citizen who has no account at the
bank, and the check is suspected Of
being a forgery.
The bank was notified this morning
by a merchant that a check for S19
drawn on it had been presented to
him in payment for a debt and asked
whether he should accept il or not.
The maker of the check had no funds
in the bank and does not carry his
account there.
Whether the checks are forgeries
or whether the makers intended TO
write the name of another bank on
the checks is not known. Several
times recently checks made out by
students in business colleges have
found their way to the banks of the
city and one of the checks may have
been made out by them although il
did not have that appearance.

A. Muret, the fake dentist, found guilty
Of eounterfeiting, was today sentenced
10 serve q term Of seven and one half
years in tho Federal prison at Atlanta,
Ga, by Federal Judge Hunt. Muret was
arrested soon after Father Hans
Schmidt confessed 20 the murder Of
Anna Aumueller. The priest-murderer
took the stand in Muret's trial and
assumed all responsibility for their
counterfeiting operations, but could not
save his accomplice.
Aluret told Judge Hunt that il he
would suspend sentence on him he would
leave the country at once, as he wished
TO return to his mother in Germany.
The court explained that sentence could
not be suspended, but leniency was
shown in the punishment imposed. The

was suffering from tuberculosis, and the
sentence was made comparatively light.
Muret might have been given thirty
years.

FOUND WITH CARNIVAL,
TO BE RETURNED HOME

Miss Bessie Andrews, aged Is and
very pretty, of No. lily Conrad
street of this city, who ran away
from the home Of her aunt in Phila-
delphia TO become one of the most
daring motorcycle riders in the coun-
try, was arrested in Indianapolis,
Ind. and will be brought back to her
home in this city sometime this week.
The pretty young girl is now in a
house in Philadelphia and will be
brought home by her father Frank
Andrews, ship carpenter.
Bessie has been living IN Philadel-
phia for almost a year. with an
aunt She had a position in a store
In that city but she decided to seek
something with a little more snap to
It. Her choice was riding the handle
bars of a motorcycle going at the rate
OF miles per hour in a wooden
motordrome.
Bessie heard of the position and
applied for it although she had never
ridden motorcycle before. On ac-
count of her beauty and the pluck she
displayed in asking for the position
the manager of the Phelby-Thurston
Carnival Company, gave her a posi-
ton as a ticket seller and the oppor-
tunity TO learn to ride. She showed
that she had the nerve at her first
trial at the thrilling job and was
soon biileu as on of the greatest
daredevil women riders in the United
States. Twice daily it was her task
to climb on the handle bars of Walter
Schiller's motor cycle and go hurtling
abound fitty-foot cup at the rate of
fifty miles per hour while the anxious
throng held its breath expecting to
see both man and woman killed at
any second. 1t was some ride but lust
to Bessies liking.
Bessies stepmother when seen by a
reporter Of THE EVENING JOURNAL
this morning said that the girl had
run away on September 4, and that
the matter had been placed in the
hands of the Philadelphia police. She
was arrested in Indianapolis last
week and taken to Philadelphia last
Sunday. Her parents were greatly
worried over her and knew nothing
of her whereabouts until she was To-
Gated riding the motorcycle in In
dianapolis. She had been on the road
but five weeks. Mrs. Andrews said
this morning that she had no idea
that the girl had the nerve to do such
a death defying feat. She said that
the girl would be brought home ano
that if she was willing to act right
would be allowed to do as she pleases
otherwise she will be placed in al
institution.
