WORKED SLICK
GAME On BANKS

Sergeant OF Detectives Francis Z.

dill, paying teller Of the Central Ma
tionsl Bank, and Clarence b. Buck, Of
the Security Trust and safe Deposit
Company, left last night for Columbus.
Ohio. where they will try TO Identify
three men under arrest there on
charges OF fraud, preferred by local
banks. The men under arrest are al
legged 20 have secured thousands Of dol
lars in the past few months from banks
throughout the eastern section Of this
country. The names given by the ac-
cused are thought TO be fictitious and
all are strangers here.
From what could be learned OF The
case this morning, it appears that one
Of the men opened an account at local
bank by dep0sitng Si00 and within the
following two days deposited a check
properly made out and endorsed on
Kentucky bank for $50 10 his account.
While the local mank was allowing
this check 10 take its usual course.
the dep0sitOr called at the bank and
drew out 5000 leaving balance sup
posed to be 1856. The Kentucky bank,
however, advised the local bank that
the check rendered by the man was
worthless and when an investigation
was made it showed that the deposition
had departed.
Local banks notified Chief OF Police
Black and he notified the police author
tiles OF other cities, and the Columbus
police arrested the three men there.
They will be brought back here FOR
trial.
