Plan Adopted By C H.
Bush Comes to Grief As
Bank Refuses Paper.
C. II. Bush, aged 22, was arrest
ed yesterday by Sheriff L. L. Low on
tho charge of forging the name of A.
W. Bradshaw to an American Na
tional bank check for HQ. Several
hours after his arrest 'Data admit
ted forging the cneck and signed
a written contosslrn.
That Bush le an amateur as a
forger Is evidenced by tho clrcum
strnces connected with the forgery
a'.d bis subsequent arrest. Thurs
day night he accosted - Gordon
Qulmby, local taxi 'driver, and (Jked
bSm to cash the cheek. Qui m by re
fused but offered 5 with the prom
st that the remainder ot the
money would be paid Friday morn
ing. Bush took the ?5 and gave
Qulmby the check.
The next morning Qulmby took
the check to the American National
bank and waa immediately Informed
that Bradshaw' signature had been
forged. .-
Later in the morning Bush met
blm and asked for the remainder
of the money.
''The bank wouldn't cash the
check," Qulmby informed him, "so
I can't help you out. I'll tell yon
though, come down to the sheriff
office with me. He will help yon
get the money by going to the bank
himself." ..
Sheriff Low, working in his office
yesterday morning was dumbfounded
when Bush and Qulmby iwalked la
and Qulmby Informed him that Bash
wa , forger. ',. ..J, ' "
Stoutly denying the accusation,"
Bush was taken to Jail. Shortly al
ter, while Sberitt Low waa In the
Jail,' Bash voluntarily confessed.
He stated that last summer he
worked for Bradshaw three months
and that Bradshaw owed him $30
for wages. . Unable to . collect, be
made up his mind, he (aid, to get
the money some way and decided to
forge a check. When time camd to
write tho check instead ot making it
out for $30 he made It for $'40 "as
interest", he pointed out, "for the
long time I have waited tor my
wages." .
There was no attempt to disguise
the handwriting on the check or to
copy Bradturw's handwriting. . A
glance at tho check, according to
Sheriff Low, showed beyond a doubt
that 'Bush's signature on tho back
of tho chock und the writing on the
t
face of check were) poo and the
6amo.
iBush was to have been brought
