good behavior, was the experience OF
Sophia Mathews, age 15 years, of this
city.
She was arrested by the police au-
thorities upon a warrant sworn out by
States Attorney Harkin, charging her
with attempted forgery. The complaint
charged her with attempting to cash
q check for $1S5 at the Citizens Trus
and Savings bank, with the name OF
Carrie (Mrs. August) Kruger. as
the payer. The check was presented
to the bank late Monday afternoon
and payment was refused because
the cashier was we'll acquainted with
Mrs. Kruger.
Miss Mathews says she found the
bank book belonging to Mrs. Kruger
in a dance hall In this city, and as
soon as she discovered that there was
q balance of $1S5 in the bank, made
up her mind that she wanted the
money, although she also stated that
she did not need money. She took the
book to the bank and demanded the
balance due on the account n after
the cashier had made out a check for
the amount she signed Mrs. Krueger's
name to it.
The sentence given by Judge Taub-
mar was suspended on good behavior,
but carries with it the usual provision
that the sentence becomes active In
ase she does not behave properly.
