Forser Arrested: Had Worked Here
I-Pinkerton detectives in Chicago ar
rested d. Z. Richards, a young but
notorious check forger. who narrowly
escaped capture in Davenport Christ
mas week of last year when he made
an unsuccessful attempt to cash
5000 forged check at the Iowa Ma
tional bank. Working the same game
and using the same blank checks that
he used here led to Richards capture.
Richards under the alias of p. j.
Corcoran, came into the Iowa National
in the morning of Dec. 90 and deposit
ed forged check for S625. The check
was written on a blank of the Irving
Cigar company of Chicago and drawn
on the Fort Dearborn National bank.
The check was signed with the name
of c. d. Boyce, secretary and treas
urer and endorsed by Corcoran. The
check was numbered in serial and
had every appearance of being genu-
inc. After depositing the check to
credit account, Richards or Corcoran
appeared shortly before the close of
banking hours and attempted to draw
5000 saying that he was establishing
a collection bureau and needed the
money to pay rent and buy fixtures.
The Iowa National refused to give
him the money and becoming sus-
picious wired Chicago, discovering
that the Irving Cigar company had
gone out of business and that the
check was a forgery.

by the Davenport board of public
works. The Standard Oil company is
erecting a $4,000 boiler house al
