under arrest here on the charge
of obtaining money by false pre-

country Foster picked up some
oil stock literature In which was
related the story of a poor wild

certain beneficent corporation
and soon afterward received a
dividend check for $500. To
prove IL a facsimile of the 5000
check was printed in the circu-

out the check, Endorsed it on the

green young teller in a country

When the boss banker found
it among his assets he set the
officers on Fosters trail. The
check bore the words fac

face, but evidently that did not

there was another such scheme for
overnight wealth, the notorious Frank

pay its investors $40 per cent. This

esque offices and enormous nerve and
started in New York.
The, plan was after the fashion of

forever to the depositors, at the rate
