This case has caused considerable interest in the community, as it was the first time that anyone has been charged with a second offense against the OTA. It was proved in court a week ago that Lepard had sold five gallons of swamp whiskey for $75 in the month of August, and about two months previous he had been warned by the court to the extent of being fined $500 and costs for a similar offense. Crown Attorney Seager acted for Inspector Pellow, and Dudley Holmes of Wingham, for Lepard. J. J. Merner, member in the last parliament for South Huron, is again the choice of the Conservative Party in that riding. His opponent is the same as in 1917, Mr, Thomas Mc Millan. CROOKS AND THE BANKS That safe-makers and safe-break ers carry on a continual struggle for supremacy, like the makers of shells and the makers of shell-proof steel, is well known, and in the same way the banks and the check swindlers are engaged in a contest of wits, with the swindlers usualy about one jump to the good. Not long ago a crook took a large sum of money from a Toronto bank by means, not of a for ged signature of the drawer of a check, but the forged initials of the clerk whose business it was to cert ify that there was sufficient funds to meet the check, and the stamp of certification. He presented the uncer tified check for payment, and was told by the teller, to whom the man and signature were unknown, that he would have to get the check marked. He turned towards the wicket of the accountant, and in a few moments came back with the check apparently certifid. It then was cashed. This swindler, no doubt, appeared at the bank with two checks, one already forged with the initial and stamp, and the other requiring certification. The assumption of the paying teller that the customer had had the check initialed almost under his own eyes led him to pay the money. The Smoothest of All About twenty years ago, or a little more, three or four Toronto banks were the victims of one of the neatest swindles ever put over. A man open ed an account of several hundred dol lars in two or three banks. He drew on them frequently for small a- mounts, always presenting the check in person, so that his face became familiar to the tellers. One day he went the rounds of the banks, with checks which he had the accountants initial. Instead of immediately pre senting them for payment, he went home and raised the checks. On the following Saturday, shortly be fore the time the banks closed, he ap peared with the forged checks bear ing the accountant’s certification, and they were cashed. Protected by Perforations He chose Saturday, just before closing time, because the tellers would be busy, and also because be fore the swindle could be discovered he would have two days’ start. One teller, as he paid the money out, seemed slightly dubious, and counted very deliberately. To him the swind ler remarked, “You’ll have those bills all worn out by the time I get them.” He smiled genially, and the money was handed over. He was never caught. To prevent swindles of this kind the banks adopted the perfora tion system, which announces that the check is not for more than a cer tain amount. A check thus stamped could not be raised. In the case of the latest swindle, apparently the check was not perforated, and though the swindler had no account in the bank, the teller, seeing the apparent initials of the accountant, did not hesitate to surrender the money. The Bank Loses In Canada and the United States when there is a forgery the bank is the loser. If a swindler is clever enough to imitate the signature of a depositor who has an account so that the bank will be deceived, then the loss falls on the bank, not on the de positor. In England it is different. The loser is the depositor whose sig nature has been forged. To protect themselves against this, English check-makers cross their checks, which means that they will be paid only through the clearing house. In this case the endorsement will usual ly be verified by the collecting bank. The difficulty of the bank is that, while they are familiar with the sig natures of their depositors, they are not, as a rule, familiar with the sig natures of those who endorse checks, and unless they make a thorough identification of unfamiliar payees or until depositors describe them in de tail, the banks are likely to be de frauded. A Point of Law In some cases the courts find it difficult to discover whether the bank or the depositor should be held re- ponsible for a loss. In one well- known American case the employee of a firm rented a post-office box in the name of James Wilson, printed letter heads, and opened an account as Wilson with his employer’s bank. Then he made out a bill to the com pany, as if goods had been sold by Wilson, and got the proper official to Everybody knows that in Canada there are mom Templeton’s Rheumatic Capsules Sold than all other Rheumatic Remedies combined lor Rheu matism, Neuritis, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago, etc. Many doctors prescribe them, most druggists sell them.
