FORGERY IS LAID !
PARTLY TO DOCTORS
Jury Asks Leniency for Ross
Cummings, Now Addict.
WAR RECORD' IS DEFENSE
Mechanic Shows Surgeons Gave
Him Injections of Drug to Ease
Pain After Injury.
Were army surgeons ajt Hoquiam,
Wash., who gave generous injections
of morphine to Ross Cummings, ex
pert mechanic in the motor traasport
service of the spruce production di
vision, in any. measure responsible
for the forgery of a check for $57.75
in Portland on February 6, 1920?
Jurors in the court of Circuit
Judge Kavanaugh yesterday evidently
thought as much, for they accom
panied a verdict of guilty against
Cummings now a drug addict for a
forgery committed under the influ
ence of morphine, with a strong rec
ommendation for Judical leniency.
Though Cummings made a half
hearted attempt to deny writing the
check in question, it was the fact
that when he was arrested, not many
hours after attempting to pass it. he
was full of "dope" and was sentenced
originally to 90 days in the county
jail for having a morphine syringe in
his possession, that brought the
jurors' minds back to the source of
the trouble.
Surgeons Give Drug.
There was testimony to the effect
that Cummings was a mechanical
wizard before he came under the sway
of the drug, and eplendid recommen
dations were presented in his defense.
In addition to his service with the
spruce division, Cummings served as
an aeroplane mechanic at Kelly field.
Back in 1917, there was an explo
sion of a gas container on which
Cummings was working which in
jured his eyesight and gave him con
siderable pain. Army physicians,
seeking to relieve his suffering, "fed"
him morphine. Though it dulled the
pain, the heavy quantities established
a liking for the drug which Cum
mings said he has never been able to
break.
The check in question was for
$57.75, was signed by "George Per
kins," was made out by "George
Crawford" and was drawn on the
Ashley & Rumelin bank. Cummings
took it to the home of O. E. Schupp.
a restaurant man from whom he had
previously borrowed $5, at night and
got $10 on it. the rest being promised
in the morning.
Check Found to Be Bad.
When Cummings went to Schupp
the following day. Schupp told him
he would go around to the bank to
get the money for Crawford at once,
saying that he did not know anything
about the credit of "George Perkins."
As soon as he started for the bank,
Cummings ran away. The check was
found to be forged, and Cummings
was arrested at 10 o'clock that night,
under the influence of morphine.
Though he explained that the check
was given him by "George Crawford'
hia tale did not ring with sincerity.
The jury was out only 45 minutes
when it returned with the verdict of
guilty, together with the recommen
dation for "utmost lenierrcy." Judge
Kavanaugh promised the ory he
would take its recommendation undei
consideration in sentencing Cum
mings. Coos to Raise $5700.
