WORKED GASTON1A BANKS i . Smooth Forger Gets Away "With More Than a Thousand Dollars. Gastonia. Nov. 29.?A stranger giving his name variously as Nolos anil Collier is richer tonight by $1,003 and the three national nanus 01 mis my are losers by the same amount as a result of robberies, forgeries and check flashing:, and the smooth operator, i up to a late hour tonight, had gone on his way rejoicing, although the police dragnet has been spread, and there is some hope of apprehending the bold operator, a good description of whom was secured at all the banks. 4 ' During the day each of the. three hanks had offered forJd&posit a check of eight or nine lipndred dollars, each of the checks being drawn 011 the other banks, and tiding apparently signed by the Gostonia Cotton company in two instances and by R. O. Crawford & Co. in the other. The stronger in each instance took about $300 in cash leaving the balance to his credit at the hank. When the bank official stepped to the telephone to communicate with one or the other of the two concerns airainst which the checks had been drawn there was no answer. It later developed that the wires had been cut so that there was no telephonic communication. The checks themselves being apparently in good shape, with every indication of having1 been properly drawn, they were cashed for the amounts called for on the face thereof, the stranger getting away with whatever he called for. It was when the checks were cleared for collection on the institutions on which they were drawn, and the makers thereof were warned that their accounts were overdrawn, that the forgery came to light. Investigation J revealed that each of the banks had been stung for varying sums approximately a little more than $1,000. The First National, the Third National and the Exchange. National are the banks involved. The hulk of the loss will probably devolve upon the National Security company, forgery bond department. through its Charlotte office,_ with which concern the Gnstonia Cotton company is a subscriber. Two of the ehecks were on this concern. It appears that the stranger had during the night forcibly entered the offices of the Gastonia Cotton company and R. O. Crawford and stolen the checks, which were later filled in for tV*/* omitnnfc fi'imwl f nn plioclfi# hniniT placed under the stamping machine of the concerns victimized and otherwise made to appear regular and bona ilde. The stranger then presumably cut the telephone wires connecting with both offices, thus precluding any possibility /of his operations being revealed until he had an opportunity to negotiate with the banks and to get . ?
