which will take up the entire day in
cludes an old fashioned barbecue and
picnic dinner at Crestview, and during
the afternoon a motor trip to New VAL

To illustrate the great interest which
IS being taken in the celebration, and
the cooperation of the several communi-

OF securing as large representation at
the celebration from Escambia county
as possible.
There will be fifty or more automo-

at Crestview Thursday and if these are
not enough to comfortably handle the
crowds, others will be secured.

Admits Forgery Of
Government Check
To Save Friend

Rather than see an innocent man, he
said, be sent to the penitentiary for a
wrong of his, D. NJ. Walker, formerly
in the service at the naval air station,
confessed to federal. authorities yester-
day that he forged and passed gov
eminent check for s14721 for which Roy
Grove, another ex-service man, is now
under indictment in federal court here.
Walker was one of the three persons
involved in the theft and forgery of sew
eral government pay checks which was
considered at a previous session of the
United States court. He had pleaded
guilty to a previous offense before
Judge w. B. Sheppard.
The check which Walker admits hav-
ing passed at T. L. Giants store was
stolen from the mails, the signature
forged and later passed, it is alleged.
Upon motion of District Attorney Fred
Cubberly, the charges against Grove in
this particular case was dismissed. Wal
ker was placed in Jail until he can be
indicted by a federal grand jury. While
the grand jury is now in recess it is not
likely that 1t will be called back to con-
slider Walkers case unless other cases
develop.
