and the man who presented 1t had
made a clumsy attempt to raise It to
sSo.15. Mr.. Matthews who looks over
quite few checks In the course Of .
year. caught the game at a glance and
put it up to the stranger. who stoutly
affirmed the integrity Of the check.
The cashier then called UP the signer

Burton Clark entered the bank at that
time. and what he and Mr.. Matthews
didn't say to the wood be forger wasn't
much. They were deferred from ar
resting him and making IN example
Of his case only by the request OF the
man who issued the check, who did
not care TO follow up the matter. The
fellow got out Of town by the nrs,
