MAN IDENTIFIED
AS FORGER
Edward j. Hine Suspected by
Clerk at Galena Bank
on Thursday
GOOD WORK BY POLICE

An alert bank clerk in Galena,
Md. and close cooperation between
Delaware and Maryland law en-
forcement bodies led to the appre-
hension last Thursday of an al
legged forger who police say vic
timized three Smyrna places of
business. Edward Joseph Hine, 33,
alias William Kline, of Port Huron,
Mich, had bogus checks cashed
early in June at the Acme Market,
Boulevard Electric Sales and Ser
vice, Inc, and Western Auto Asso-
ciate Store in Smyrna. The checks
totaled $177.50. Since that time
Chief of Police John w. Jacobs,
Jr. has been putting out tracers on
the man, with his description.
When Hine walked into the Galena
bank and presented an alleged
forgery, he was met by a clerk
who refused to honor the check.
The clerk, cousin of the manager
of the Acme Market in Smyrna,
recalled what she had been told by
him of the alleged forger. Feel
ing sure that it was the man the
clerk notified Chief Jacobs at
Smyrna. The latter informed the
sheriff at Chestertown, Nd, as
we'll as Maryland state police, who
communicated with Delaware state
troopers by radio and set up road
blocks. In a matter of two hours,
the Maryland troopers picked Hine
up at Chestertown. Chief Jacobs
was accompanied to Galena by
Richard G. Price, who identified
the man as the man who had
signed Kline to the check used at
his store. Magistrate George r.
Stevenson held Hine in $4,000 bail
for Superior Court, and in default
of bond, remanded him to Dover
Jail. Chief Jacobs praised the CO.
between Maryland and
Delaware authorities in the case.
