CIerqymon's S Aide Held
In $4,000 Forgeries

A 46-year-old Washington
secretary and mother of five
today awaits grand jury action
on a fraudulent check charge
filed by FBI agents investigat-
ing forgeries which may have
cost an Episcopalian minister
as much as 100000.
The secretary, according to
the FBI, is Mrs. Edith Williams
Rice of the 10000 block Of Dale
wood drive, Wheaton, Md, en-
ployed for the past nine years
by the Rev. Cornelius A. Wood,
Ijr.
The clergyman, member of
a wealthy Boston banking fam
lily, lives at BIS Chain Bridge
road NV. and is engaged in
mission work here with offices
in the Dupont Circle Building,
the FBI said.
Agents arrested Mrs. Rice
yesterday afternoon in the
offices Of her employer and
charged her with a single vio-
lation-causing a $3.50 forged
check to be transported across
State lines from Miami to the
District. The woman, sobbing
and distraught, was arraigned
before United States Commits
sioner Sam Wertleb and posted
$4,000 bond pending presenta-
ton of the case to the grand
jury.
The FBI said the $3.50 check
was signed with the name
OF Mr.. Wood and made
out to Mrs. Rice. It was in
dorsed by Mrs. Rice on the
same date the check was made
out, last March 81, according
to the FBI. The check was
drawn against the Riggs Ma
