collectors office, charged with theft,

ton with disappearance of a tax re-
bate check. began before Federal

094.91, disappeared from the Office
here Nov. 10, 1924. 1t was later
found in Washington, cashed and
bearing the Endorsements Of Smith
and Russell V. Duncan.
The Government will attempt to
prove that Charles w. Tilton, d. c.
Stephenson protege. forged Smiths
name.
Tells of Deposit
Otto T. Kern, cashier of J. F. Wild
Company. testified that on Nov. 10.
1924, Duncan deposited $4,000.
That was the date Of disappearance
of the Smith check.
Frank B. Congers, Muncie bank
cashier, testified the Endorsement
was q forgery of Smiths signature.
Testimony of three secret service
operators and George Z. Foote,
chief office deputy collector of in
ternal revenue department, estab-
lished the Governments case.
Less than twenty minutes was
required to obtain the jury. Lafayette
Gilly, Washington, was excused
when he said he had been House
Of Representative doorkeeper
and knew Duncan.
Check Is Identified
Witnesses were sworn in a group.
About thifty-iive, may testify. Ten
Government exhibits were admitted
into evidence.

merly of the internal revenue office,
identified Charles w. Tilton, de-
fendant. Other defendants are

Over strenuous objections by de-
fense attorneys. Frank f. Wocher,
Fletcher American National Bank
assistant cashier, and Albert s.
Dohnson, Fletcher Savings and Trust
Company assistant cashier, testified
they believed Tilton wrote Smiths
Endorsement on the s3,094.91 check.

signatures. Both bankers admitted
being handwriting experts.

How They Hunt Turtles.

Turtle hunters learn quickly that
the only way to keep a big turtle
alive and In good condition for the
market is to put 1t on it's back. the
hard shell supplying a foundation
support for the heavy body. says the
Adventure Magazine.
If 1t were kept out of water for
considerable time the weight Of the
body. often reaching from 200 to $50
pounds. would have only the soft
underportion Of the shell for support
and the body would he heavy enough
to crush 1t and kill the turtle.
The big turtles for shipment to city
markets are caught at night after
they have deposited their eggs in the
sand and start their return trip to the
water. In some favored places hunters
are able to capture 100 in one night.
