Ned Barnicoat Vindicated at Bank Trial
Ned Barnicoat, a seventeen year old who cared for his mother and sisters after his father’s death, thwarted a $20,000 forged check raised by Peter Bushnell. He detected irregularities, kept proof, and testified alongside two clerks. Bushnell’s guilt was proven by a photograph showing pin holes in the original check. Bushnell resigned. Barnicoat was honored and promoted, eventually becoming a bank president.
