'Faker' Who Got So
Bill From Blease Is
Held for Vagrancy

Blease for a fve-case note" by a sym
pathy dodge, Thursday afternoon was
held for trial in bond of $500 by Re-

from the time he left Atlanta two

story he told in court. He carried a
slate with him to convey all his mes

conversation with Blease. is said to
have written on the slate for the BEN
eft of Blease's secretary that he
thought the Governor was a mighty
fine man. The compliment. as the
vender of gum intended, was told to
the Governor and the greenback was
forthcoming
