Three Names Given to Police By Man Over Worthless Check
James Hallahan, posing as guest at Burkley Hotel, is held after a $6 check drawn on Nations State Bank. He gave three names as his own during arrest and inquiry.

Police tracked him through East Jersey and Tivoli streets, Broad Street, and Grand Street areas with bakery staff noting his suspicious behavior. The suspect, described as about 20, with a neat appearance and two boys accompanying him earlier, claimed ties to a wife and a broader local mischief. The case continues as authorities seek to confirm identity and motive.
