REARRESTED
FOR FORGERY
Man Who Passed String
of Worthless Cheeks
Thru Valley Found To
Have Prison Record.
Living under the name of Joe
Cray, Wallaco McKay, paroled
convict from the state peniten
tiary, was arrested at Woodburn
today by Sheriff Bower and
Deputy Sheriff Burkhart and
confessed to the officers hero that
he was guilty of forging oper
ations which the officers have
been working on since last Jan
uary. McKay also is wanted by
Portland officials, according to
word received last night, but on
just what charge Is not known.
Used Manv Names
McKay showed up at the
Lebanon hotel where he registered
last January. He registered under
the name of Bill Patton and while
there passed a worthless check on
the hotel. He also secured from
the register the name of O. W.
Warren, Lebanon business man.
McKay went to Vancouver, Wash.,
and from that place forged War
ren s name to letters to the bank
asking that money be forwarded
him.
At Silverton, Cunby and Van
couver, McKay forged drafts
whirh he cashed, at Vancouver:
getting $25, at Conhy $20, and at i
Silverton secured $45 from Joe
Bach.
Deputy Sheriff mirk hart was
assigned to the case, went to Al
bany and Lebanon whero he
secured no trace of the man, until
he got a tip to go to Independence
from a check signed hy the man as
Bill Patton on an Independence
bank. At Independence by com
paring signatures, he identified
Bill Patton with one Joe Cray.
Scar Tells Tale
Joe Cray was located at Wood-
burn a few days ago and Burk
hart interviewed him there. How
ever, the man who cashed the
drafts had a large scar on his face.
There was no scar on Cray's face.
Otherwise the whole evidence
identified this Cray as tho man
wanted. Burkhart was stumped.
Last night there came a call
from Portland that the man was
wanted. When Bower and Burk
hart picked him up today, Cray
pulled off his cap to scratch his
head and the ugly scar stood re
vealed. Shortly after McKay
reached the jail he confessed to
tho forgeries and cashing of the
drafts.
McKay was paroled from the
penitentiary September 19, 1923,
where he was serving a three-year
term from Multnomah for forgery.
