K. GAY ARRESTED ON
CHARGE OF FORGERY

Another arrest was made this
week in connection with the for
gerry case the Citizens Bank and
Trust Co are prosecuting, K.
Gay being the new defendant.
Last week O. T. Hutton was
arraigned before Justice j. X.
Dickens charged with forging G..
O. Keeter's name on a $50 check.
Hutton contended that he was in.
nocent and that his endorsement
on the check was made to help
Gay, who was posing as c. 0.
Keeter, get the check cashed at
at Henderson bank. The check
however bore no Henderson bank
endorsement, and as stated last
week, Justice Dickens found pro-
bable cause and placed Hutton
under a $500 bond.
As soon as Gay learned of Hut
tons arrest, he left very hurried
ly leaving no address. However
he was located a few days later
at Raleigh and brought back for
trial. Gay fatty denied every
allegation of Hutton, but his sig
nature on the check was more
impressive to His Honor than
Gays denials. He was placed
under a $500 bond, and Hutton's
bond was increased to $500 also.
