ARRESTED ON
CHARGE OF FORGERY

Chraged with having forged the
name of Mr.. John G. Redmon, of this
county, to several checks, Maggie Will
son, a negro woman, who had been
in the employ OF the Redmon family as
a domestic, was arrested and lodged in
the Paris Jail, Friday morning, to
await trial
1t is charged that the Wilson woman,
while in the employ of Mr.. Redmor,
who lives on the Jackstown pike, forg.
ed his name to cehcks aggregatins
more than 500, which she had cashed
at the Peoples Deposit Bank & Trust
Company.
Other checks signed in the same
way were brought to the bank, but the
suspicious of the officials had been
aroused, and the matter was reported
to the police. The woman's arrest fol-
lowed.
Her husband was arrested at the
same time, and both now occupy cells

American lives had been repeatedly
sacrificed since the new year without
President Wilson having carried out
the announcement made in his pre-
yious notes.
The "Nschrichten, which long has
been one OF the most enthusiastic adj
vocates of ruthless submarine warfare,
rejoices at the sinking of such a fine
ship as the Laconia, which, it says, can
not be easily replaced. IL says il must
be great satisfaction for submarine
and crews that they are
now finally permitted to attack such
steamers. which frequently, on earlier
occasions, have been spared, though
within easy torpedo range.
Individual submarine commanders,
according to the "Nachrichten." have
often reported since the destruction of
the Lusitania that they have allowed
dozens of ships to pass, including the
biggest of the ocean liners.

no part in bringing the matter TO the
