MAKING IT HARD FOR BANK CROOKS
How the Nations Bankers Are Banded Together in War
on Crime-The Great Crook Trap and
the Way 1t Works.
BY JOHN oAkwoop

The slick gentry who have been wont to walk into banks
ana mesmerize paying telers into giving them good cash for
worthless checks have recently become aware of the fact that
their operations are daily growing more difficult. Crooks who
have operated with apparent immunity for years have suddenly
nation wide crook trap.
To show how effectively this is now working, one of the
biggest figures among the worthless check operators, a man
who claims to have defrauded dozens of banks and realized
more than 100000 from his operations, recently fell into the
OILS OF the trap. Realizing that he was hopelessly caught, he
