FCRGERIES FOLLOW
MAN IN PRISON
Joe Blake Who Is Considered Un'
usually Clever, Is Sent to
saltwater.

There are many clever forgers In
the profession today but Joe Blake,
who contided his business to passing
bogus drafts on express companies,
has them all bested according to p.
w. Hall, secretary Of tho Iowa Bank
ers' association.
Last October, Blake was sent TO
saltwater for forging drafts on tho
American Express company. He Sc
cured $50 each on about twenty or
them in Iowa and other states. Prior
to that he had served time in the
Illinois penitentiary.
Today the Iowa Bankers associa-
ton received a draft on the Adams
Express company from the Nicola State
bank, forged and passed by Blake two
weeks before they sent him TO Still
water. His forgery was so clever
that the bank cashed the draft, sent to
the Adams Express company, and the
company accepted it. It was not until
the company was checking over the
years business this month that the
forgery was discovered. Blake had
been in prison three months. The
Adams company is trying to collect
the amount of the draft from the
Nicola bank.
Blake was arrested at Sigourney,
Iowa, in October. He had SLIGO IN
currency.
