HENRY c. MILLER, OF TAMA, PAYS
$50 FINE IN CASE ORIGINATE
ING HERE.
PLEADS GUILTY; MARSHAL
ASKS FOR LENlENT ACTION
Miller Charged With Signing Name to
Money Order For $50 Not Intend ed
For Him = Name, However, Was
Same-crime Committed in August,
1912.

Henry c. Miller, aged %, of Tama,
was Wednesday afternoon. in the fed
eral court at Des Moines. fined $50 by
Judge Smith Mcpherson on a charge
of forging a money order for $50. In
committing the crime, TO which he
pleaded guilty, Miller signed his name
at the local postoffice to a money or
der intended for another Henry Miller.
The crime was committed in Au-
gust, 1912. Miller was employed in
the A. E. Shorthill Company plant
here. One day he went for his mail,
at the general delivery window, and
asked If there was anything for Mil
Ter. He was given a letter which, it
proved, contained a $50 money order
made paya Bile to Henry Miller. The
Henry Miller, for whom the money or
der was intended. it developed after
ward, worked at the Center House.
Buys Motorcycle.
At the time he received the money
order young Miller. it seemed, was
negotiating with I. f. Huber for the
purchase of a motorcycle, and had paid
80 on a contract to purchase. He got
Mr.. Huber to go to the postoffice and
identity him that he might get the
cash on the money order. When the
fact that the real Henry Miller had not
got the money order and an inspector
found where it had gone to, Huber
was held good for the $50 which was
paid over to the rightful Miller.
Settles With Huber,
After getting the cash on the money
order Miller turned over $40 of it to
Huber, making $40 he had invested in
MS motorcycle. When the forgery was
discovered. and Huber had made good
the $50, he took charge of the motor
cycle.
Miller was arrested last Saturday IN
minneapolis, and Huber was sum
moned as witness in the federal
court at Des Moines. He had previ-
ously given his testimony in the Cedar
Rapids federal court.
Before entering his plea MilIe,.s AZ.

motorcycle deal, allowing $25 for dam.

was using it. ~
