FOUND MANY CHECKS
WERE WORTHLESS

One firm in Ardmore, when max
ing bank deposit yesterday of re
ccipts of Saturday, discovered that
during that one day it had received
small checks, totalling 500, which
were returned by the bank, marked
mo funds Some OF these, a mem
Der of the firm said, they would run
down and collect, but several of
them are Of no value.
\ complaint was filed in Justice
Franklin Bourland's court yesterday
against a man residing in this coun-
ty accusing him of giving a check
for $50, which was turned down by
the bank. 1t is alleged in the COM
plant that he had no funds in the
bank when he gave the check. An
other man, who has been selling ap-
pies here, informed Justice Bour-
land that since last fall he has re-
ceiyed bad checks totalling over
500.
A man in Justice Bourland's
court said the practice of making
checks when there is no money in
bank to meet them is growing. He
said the fact that most of these men
get off without punishment is hay
ing bad influence; that young men
in the country who never had a
bank account, have learned that it
is an easy way to get money and
have taken it up.
OF the many cases of this kind
filed in the courts in Carter County
during this year, there are few, if
any, that have been prosecuted. The
maker OF the bad check usually
raises the money and pays the
amount, and the case is dismissed
for want Of prosecution.
An impression seems to prevail
that the law is inadequate on this
class OF cases. Justice Bourland
said today that if there is any law
on the books that is really a specific
against crime, or a misdemeanor, it
is that providing a penalty for the
Of a bad check and thus Sc
curing money or goods under false
prctcnscs.
