Howe Faces Prison Team
Chester H Howe, a waiter, was arrested Wednesday afternoon by Constable Moore for forging a $20 check bearing John H Gates's signature. The bill, cashed at a local saloon, was deemed a forgery at First National Bank. Howe, who says he received the checks as payment for diamonds, had another $22 forged check with the same signature. He was arraigned before Justice Dunn, waived preliminary exam, and is held to answer. District information filed later suggests a plea of guilty and possible sentencing tomorrow. Howe has a history in Winnemucca, including a recent arrest and acquittal in Carlin on a defrauding charge. a Carlin jury censured prosecutors, and a good-character certificate did little to aid him.
