The Origin Of the Check

TT HE word check, comes from the game of chess, and gradually came to mean that which controls restraints. Hence a check is 6 token, ticket or counterfeit which serves as & means of Identification, and as safeguard
 That is to say, check is safety device In commercial law check is bill of exchange In business it performs the function of money It is easier to handle and far safer.
 Originally, bankers issued the check in du- plicate. The banker retained the copy and gave the customer the original which was known as draft or a drawn note. This was as a protection against forgery. Gradually the practice of the duplicate was abandoned as business operations grew larger.
 As we know the check. it is not much moro than a hundred years old. And in fact it was only in the latter half of the nineteenth century that its use became general in England and America
 This bank handles nearly g. million dollars a day in checks.

Clennon to Fight Move
To Pardon DIR. Hammer
Prosecutor Will Go to Alban,
to Oppose Freeing of Man
Convicted After Operation

District Attorney Glennon, Of Bronx
County, when informed yesterday that
petition had been sent Governor Mil
Ter asking pardon for DR.. Julius
Hammer, convicted Of mans laughter in
the first degree and sentenced to an
indeterminate term in Sing Sing on
July 10, 1920 declared he would 90 to
Albany and oppose such pardon.
Dr. Hammer was convicted after the
death Of Mrs. Marie Ofasosoff wife of
a former attache of the old Russian
legation in Washington. following. an
alleged illegal operation, DR.: Hammer
had Offices at 1853 Washington Avenue
and Nine. Ofasosoif lived at 230 River
side Drive.
Great interest was aroused in the
case and during its hearing the court
room was filled daily with members of
the medical profession, many of whom
came from out of town. After con-
victon q stay Of execution was granted
on the plea of Hammers attorney that
the jury had been prejudiced against
HIM following exposure of an alleged
attempt at jury bribing. At the ex-
pIratlon of the stay a motion for a
new trial was denied and Dr. Hammer
was sent to Sing Sing.
After the conviction many physicians
appeared before the grand jury to ex-
PLAIN that IN many cases such opera
tlons as that performed by Dr. Ham,
mer were necessary to save life and
that because Of the conviction surgeons
were deferred from performing them
BY fear of prosecution.
