jim COLE, A READY
WRITER, IS JAILED
FORGED THE NAMES OF WELL
KNOWN CITIZENS TO SEW
ERAL BANK CHECKS.

Ability to use the pen and de-
sire for easy money, has landed jim
Cole, a negro farm renter, behind
the bars of the county bsstile. He
was arrested by Chief of Police W.
L. Hill and later became guest of
Sheriff Wood until the court can en-
quire into a number of cases of
forgery with which he is charged.
Since June 9th the prisoner has
forged the name of Mr.. W. J. Mathis
to five checks on the Dawson Nation
al Bank, and the name of Mr.. K. +.
Mcdowell to one check on the Bank
of Dawson. His method of operation
was to make small purchase at
a store, offer a forged check in pay
ment and receive the difference in
money. Only one of the forged checks
was paid by the bank.
The checks to which the name of
Mr.. Mathis was forged were for
$7.35, s8.75, $12 and two for Sc
each.
The check on the Bank of Dawson
bore the forged name of Mr.. R. p.
Mcdowell was for $3.50. Cole at
tempted to pass this check on
Syrian merchant, who is compare
tive stranger in Dawson and when
the latter went out to make inquiry
concerning it the forger disappear
ed.
The giving of a check for $40 to
Joe Mana, a Syrian, who owns
negro restaurant, to which Cole sign
ed his own name and which was not
paid by the Bank of Dawson because
Cole had no funds there, led to the
forger's arrest. Many complained to
the officers, which aroused Chief HIS
suspicion, and he took the negro IN
custody and soon had a confession
from him.
When Coles house was searched
numerous pieces of paper were found
on which he had .practiced writing
the names of Messrs. Mcdowell and
Mathis.
