CAUGHT IX BALTIMORE. ? , Man Charged With Defrauding Edgefield Bank. -... i Edgefield, June 2.?Charged with defrauding the Farmers' bank of Edgefield through the use of a forged check, J. D. King was arrested in Baltimore this week and will be brought home tomorrow by Sheriff Swearingen, who left yesterday to get him. Kina was identified by W. A. i Byrd, assistant cashier of the FarmV ers' bank, as the man who had placed on deposit a cashier's check on the (Jeorgia Railroad bank of Augusta for $1,310, which subsequently proved to be fradulent. The check was accepted by the Farmers' bank, and Kitig, it is alleged, then borrowed $700 from a ' bank in Augusta, placing the certificate of deposit from the Edgefield ' bank as security. It became known in Augusta too i that King held a certificate of de-| , posit for a small amount from the , Bank of Johnston. The clue that led to the arrest of King was furnished from Baltimore Wednesday, when a lithographing firm of that city telegraphed the! Bank of Johnston to know whether a; certain Mr. Jones had the authority j * to order blank certificates of deposit, j The bank at once reported the mat- j ter to the officers of the Farmers' j bank at Edgefield and the authori-i ties in Baltimore were instructed to *e x ^.rrest the party and hold him for identification. W. A. vByrd, the assistant cashier of the Farmers' bank, went to Baltimore yetserday and ^ laentined tne man wno attempted to purchase the blank certificates of deposit as King. The same day that King attempted to order certificates of deposit in the name of the Bank of Johnston from a lithographing house in Baltimore, another lithographing firm in the! same city reported to the bank of Edgefield that a man had tried to purchase from it blank certificates of deposit in the name of the bank, i So it appears that King was planning1 to involve several banks in this sec-1 tion. Sheriff Swearingen left this morn-1 ing for Baltimore for King. Mr. Byrd having telegraphed that King will voluntarily return to South Carolina, j The sheriff and Mr. Byrd are ex-: pected to arrive tomorrow with the! man.

Belvin. of JWalhalla, a member of the Upper South Carolina conference, was arrested here yesterday at the Atlantic Coast Line station by local police officers charged with disorderly con-j duct and carrying.unlawful weapons.! He was committed to jail, but later' released on bail. Not long ago it seems that Mr. BeLj vin had some differences with his wife! and as a result Mrs. Belvin moved to j Lee county to live with her people,! carrying with her their two-year-old j child, Sarah; that learning of the intention of Mrs. Belvin to keep the child, Mr. Belvin left Walhalla, com-| ing to Sumter with the intention of ; taking the child back with him. He; went to the home where his wife was,! took the child in his arms and jumped j into a waiting automobile and came in j the direction of Sumter. His wife immediately got an automobile and; followed him. They met at the sta-] tion and upon learning that he had bought a ticket for Columbi-a, she did likewise. As the train was coining ? in she made an effort to take thechild from her husband, and in the struggle for the child. .Mrs. Belvin, it seems, was rendered unconscious by a blow. As she fell, Mr. Belvin grabbed the child and made his way' toward the train, pulling from his pocket a pistol and ordered the crowd j to clear the road. At this juncture) the police; who had been telephoned j of the impending trouble, an*'"' ed on; the scene and Mr. Belvin was taken j into custody. This afternoon counsel for Mfs. : Belvin obtained a writ a habeas cor-; pus from Judge Wilson returnable' Friday, June 1, at which time the fight for the custody of the child will be continued. In the meantime by order of the court the child was left in charge of Sheriff Bradford. Much interest has been manifested in the outcome of the legal proceedings in stituted for the possession of the; child. Arguments, affidavits and other proceedings incident to a case of this Kind will he presented to Judge Wilson at his chambers at Manning on the date above stated. In the meantime Mr. Belvin has been placed under a heavy peace bond by the magistrate and will also oei required to appear in the city court for disorderly conduct and carrying unlawful weapons. He is out on bail pending trial of these issues. i $685.00 F. O.
