Familiar Bad Checks
Cause HOfman's Arrest

By his familiarity with the bad
checks of one particular individual
Sheriff Esch was able TO make an ar
rest Saturday and secure a confession
from Chester Hoffman before he was
furnished with good description of
the operator. A bad check for $l1 .65
was passed on J. Fred Iddings, who
conducts a store on East State street.
After due time the check came back
and was finally turned over to the
sheriff who noted a familiar tone to
the check. When he chanced to 60
down the street a short time afterward
Sheriff Esch met Hoffman and took
him into custody and began questioning
him.
Hoffman confessed that he had
passed some bad paper and gave the
sheriff all Of the details of the trans
action, according to Sheriff Eseh, but
claimed that the Iddings check was the
only bad one that he had passed.
Hoffman was one of the first men
arrested by Sheriff Esch after he took
over the office and January 13, 1913
Hoffman was taken into custody for
passing a bad check for $3l at the
saloon of Frank Collins. Hoffman
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
two to twenty years at the pen and
paroled from the bench. He went to
work on farm near Sidney but August
IL of the same year he passed another
bad check and his parole was revoked
upon his confession of guilt and he
served a little over year in the pen.
Then he was paroled by the board and
went to work on the farm of County
Commissioner j. T. Beckwith.
1t is not yet decided whether Hotf-
man will be sent back to the pen on the
old charge or whether he will be tried
again on new charge. He is now in
the county Jail. Hoffman was raised
near Liberty and his parents now re-
side in that section.
