Crook Indicted for Forgery in Gadsden Alabama
San W. Crook, a prominent local figure in Gadsden, has been indicted by the grand jury on forgery charges. He allegedly forged signatures of business men to notes and cashed them at a bank, with the total forged amount about 4500 dollars. The bank was made whole, and efforts to hush the matter were reported. Crook has ties to Anniston and Jacksonville through family, previously worked as a L and N railroad conductor, and later as a representative for an insurance company. He was active in secret orders and the case has caused a major local sensation pending trial.

Grand audience cheers as Ralph Bingham lifts spirits at Press Club event
In a November Sunday mood of waning daylight a derelict sea of troubled souls finds solace in a performance by Ralph Bingham at the Grand. With fiddles, pianos, tales, and songs he preaches comfort and encouragement until the crowd pleads for encores and laughter floods the room, offering brief harbor from years of confinement. The scene closes as the gate clamps shut and a guard’s steps signal the end of the visit for a newspaper man and his friend.
