13 THE 3IQRNIXG . OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, 31 AY 4, 1920 Another Royal Suggestion SWINDLES ALLEGED TOIOLVEMO MUFFINS and POPOVERS From the New Royal Cook Book Everett Philpot Not to Fight Extradition. NOTE FORGERIES DENIED JRcal Estate Firm to Retain Sale? Manager Despite Charges l- JIadc in Tennessee. That forgery and other charges frainst Everett Philpot, known to Portland friends for the past six years 83 K. M. Padden, real estate man, involve more than $40,000, is the assertion of J. B. Klrkpatrick, attorney-general at Nashville, Tenn., in a telegram received by Sheriff Hurlburt yesterday, in which indig nant inquiry is made as to the reason for the release of Philpot on bond of only S1000. District Attorney Evans called a conference with I'hIIpot's bondsmen following the receipt of this informa tion, but they were confident he would not run away and the amount vas not increased. The arrival of Sheriff Wright of T-'aehville with extradition papers for I'hilpot is expected daily. Philpot has said that he will not fight the proceedings. In the attorney-Reneral's message the local authorities are referred to th case of Home against Nicholas, SOI Southwestern Reporter, page 75, for information concerning some of the. activities of Philpot. Case One of Numerous Soils." The opening sentence in the opinion n this case, written by Associate Justice Samuel C. Williams of the su preme court of Tennessee, reads: "This is one of numerous suits that Jiave arisen by reason of a series of grots frauds perpetrated by one Kverett Philpot, who was formerly engaged in the business of real estate egent in the city of Nashville." The complaint was filed by W. L Horn against R. W. Nicholas, Everett Philpot, W. B. Holcomb and the Cum berland Valley National banle to re cover by writ of replevin from the bank a J2000 note executed by Hol comb to Nicholas on October 12, 1912, and due October 12, 1915. While the tsuit proper has nothing to do with criminal charges in Nashville against Philpot, the comment of Justice Williams on evidence in the ease dis closes a juergllng of notes and for peries reflecting directly against I'hilpot. From the opinion, which is on file in the Multnomah county law library, It is learned that Philpot as agent for Nicholas sold a farm to Holcomb who gave three notes for (2000 each to Nicholas, secured by liens on the property. Nicholas permitted Philpot to keep the notes for safe-keeping in w safe in the realty man s office. Note JucelinK Related. It is stated as a fact in the opinion 0 Miss Harriett Camming, popular society jrirl, irkMt encasement te Hnm"ton P. Corbett was nnouncrd yesterday. N engagement of unusual inter est among; the post-war ro mances, is that of Miss Harriet Cumming to Hamilton F. Corbett, an nounced yesterday at a University club" luncheon given by Miss Cum-ming-'s slater, Mrs. Iawrence . R. Wheeler. Twenty-five intimate friends of the bride-elect were present. The wedding is to be an event of May 15. Particular interest attaches to the engagement by reason of the special popularity and social activity of the young people. Both are members of the younger set, prominent in the gay events of the season, and their friends form a roster of many prominent Portland folk. Bride-Elect Athletic. Miss Cumming is the youngest daughter of Dr. William A. Cumming, and has devoted much of her time to that Philpot borrowed 15000 by pledg- I social service and philanthropic work. ing these three notes left in his keep ing as collateral, after forging the name of Nicholas to the notes -indorsing them over to Philpot. The J5000 note ran for four months and was renewed several times. Prior to June 6, 1914, Holcomb paid one of his J2000 notes, the money being re ceived by Philpot, who is said to have paid 1000 to the bank on his $5000 note and renewed the note for $4000, till using the three $2000 notes one of which had been paid as se curity. About this time Nicholas, owner of the notes, is said to have desired to use them, not knowing of the for gery, Philpot advanced $1717 to Nicholas on the first note of the series and told him it was necessary for Nicholas to indorse all the notes over to him, Three forged notes then were produced, it is asserted, identi cal with those to which indorsements liad been forged, with the name of Holcomb, as maker of the notes. lorgeu. rticnolas indorsed them. Ttto Series Result. "There were then two series," com mented the supreme court justice at this phase of the case, "the three cenulne notes with the name of the payee, Nicholas, forged as indorser. an possession of the Hermitage Na tional bank; and the three forged notes oearing trie genuine signature of Nicholas as indorser. The telegram of Attorney-General Kirkpatrick read as follows: "Sheriff Wright on his way to get Philpot. Don't understand why Philpot al lowed bond, and especially such small bond. While extradition is asked on only one case, there are many charges of forgery and false pretenses aggre gating over $40,000. This Is the Kverelt Philpot mentioned in Horn vs. Nicholas. 201 S. W., P. T56." Philpot, who has a wife and 16-year-old son living here, is well liked locally. Following his arrest, mem hers of the realty board pledged him their support and the real estate firm of Metzger-Parker-Ferguson, for wnich he was sales manager, an nounced it would retain his services. ' spite of the charges made against lit in. Philpot told his attorney, upon arriving in Portland six years ago, that he had been in trouble in Nash ville, Tenn., and intended to work Here until he could pay back losses due to his manipulations. Philpot Denies Forgrerlea. On being shown the above auoted statements yesterday Philpot denied absolutely the allegations of forgery. He said the indorsements en the notes were genuine and that the notes were need by him with the payee's permis sion. This contention Is borne out by the fact, which is admitted in the statement of the case by the court, that Nicholas, after examining the notes, gave the bank a certificate that his signatures on the back there of were genuine. Philpot asserts that advantage has been taken of the fact that he left under a cloud to set up claims of fraud in cases where none really existed and that the statement ts to the amount and number of his SLlleged fraudulent transactions is a gross exaggeration.
