With uaia background, he cashes a check at the hotel. That was all that he intended to do. That was the purpose of his impersonation. Be then in tended to disappear. "Unfortunately, however, he was of an amorous disposition as is so fre quently the case with criminals of his type. He allowed himself to become involved with a young woman who, ac cording to her own account, made things very easy for him. In fact, con sidering ber story, she was perhaps the aggressor In making the acquain tanceship. The man saw no reason why he should not yield to the temp tation of the moment but fate inter vened. In company with the young woman he was arrested for a minor traffic violation. Be was taken to po lice headquarters. He tried desper ately to secure hia release, without giving the name of Cathay. He might have done so had the police not checked up the registration of the car he was driving and found that it had been rented under the name of Cathay. Having gone that far, there was onlp one thing to do. That was rely upon the identity of Cathay to get him released from jail as quick ly as possible." "But," Bleeker objected, "that doesn't make sense it isn't logic." "Why isn't it logic?" the attorney asked. "Because, if this Peter Malone wanted to establish his signature that of Frank Cathay he defeated his own purpose. Just as soon as Cathay would receive his statement from the bank he would recognize that the check was one he had not given and that it was a forgery. Fisher's smile was Just a little pat ronizing. "I think, Mr. Bleeker," he said. "that you bare missed the deadly sig nificance of this entire matterk but I feel certain that your companion, Mr. Griff la keenly aware of it. Shall you tell him, Mr. Griff, or shall I?" "RIFF nodded to the lawyer. "You tell him," he said. Fisher turned, facing Bleeker. "At the time the check was cashed," he said, speaking slowly and with grave emphasis, "the plot, whatever it was, was about to culminate. This man, Malone, knew that Cathay would not be in a position to make any com plaint. In other words, he had anticl pated the death of Frank B. Cathay, in which event the canceled check with the forged signature would be found among his effects. A check-up of the hotel register would show that Cathay was registered there that night; that the man who had cashed the check had exhibited documentary evidence showing he was the real Frank Cathay. Of course this matter would not come up until months after Cathay's death,. when the estate had been probated and the claim of this man, Malone, whatever the nature of it, would be presented against the es tate and brought up to trial. As you are doubtless aware, litigation takes time and is subject to annoying delay, "The attorneys representing the Malone claim, whaterer its nature, would demand that the estate product all documents and vouchers which were in its possesion. The canceled check could not have been destroyed because it would have come into the possession of the estate instead of the possession of Cathay before his death. It would, therefore, make an excellent demonstration of the genu ineness of the forged signaatnre- "And what," asked Bleeker. "is the nature of this claim that Malone is to make?"
