Muir, mechanical engi neer and alleged forger, declared to have been, Intercepted in the act of trying to pass two forged checks for an aggregate of $350, in the First National bank, was arrested yester day by A. W. Smith, plainclothes patrolman, and a Burns operative after a chase of several blocks through the down town streets which was joined in by bank clerks, civil ians and police. The alleged attempt to ' pass the checks took place during the noon hour when there were hundreds of persons on the streets. Large num bers of them joined in the chase. Fligrht lTnsnccessfiil. The chase led down Stark street to Fourth, up Fourth to Washington and then to the McKay building, where Muir tried to shake off his pursuers by running up the stairway to the fourth floor. There he climbed through a window and came down the fire escape. As he slid off the awning to the street he was knocked down by a blow from a Burns opera tive and immediately was placed under arrest. According to the Burns agency and the police, Muir has passed a number of smaller checks at various grocery stores about the city, using in each case the name of Alexander P. Dudley of 1240 East Thirtieth street north who has an account at the First National bank. The result was that the bank attaches, detectives and police were on the lookout for him. When he entered the bank yester day and offered, it is said, two checks, one for $250 drawn on the First National bank and another for $100 drawn on the Hibernia Savings bank, the clerk "stalled" him and began checking up. The result was that Muir apparently became fright ened and started out of the bank. Efforts to head off his escape proved futile. He darted down the steps and out onto the street with bank employes and patrons stringing down thte steps of the establishment and out onto the street in full cry after j him. Crowd Join Id Pursuit.

A crowd of several hundred persons, out for the lunch hour, gathered to witness the pursuit and capture of the fugitive. Police and the Burns agency are making an investigation for the pur pose of checking up on Muir's activi ties. It is thought that bad checks for which he is responsible may be discovered.
