Seraphine Sennerts a 28 year old telephone operator from Burt Indiana is jailed on forgery charges after she attempted to obtain a Nash coupe from Nash Sales on Tenth and Howard streets using a fake telegram sent from Union depot.
A fragmentary message describes unloading a car of Kellastone and invites collaboration. It signals a planning intent and offers services and suggestions, with a request for satisfaction and continued engagement. Names, places, dates, or concrete actions are not provided. The item reads like a note seeking collaboration rather than a formal report.
A girl, aided by an ex convict, allegedly tried to secure a Nash coupe for a fake buyer from Algona. Telegrams instructed signers to accept checks while police track down Joe Albert, the man said to mastermind the ruse. The scheme involved fake shipments to Council Bluffs and Omaha with the Wilson Motor Company and Kolass Brothers named in the fraud.
Miss Lennerts faced her plight with a philosophical remark about a great life if you don't weaken. Police say she admitted sending a telegram linked to a gery charge, while she was measured in the Ber tillon department.
Leonard Oglesby known as Red remains jailed at Spirit Lake on two charges breaking and entering and grand larceny. He admits taking goods but not guilty pleas, bond set at 1000 dollars per count. Trial scheduled for Tuesday September 21 with goods valued around 1000 dollars recovered.
