Hume Clay aged about 27, missing from Kentucky and once linked to Chicago, is said to be a forger. Disclosures show he forged his grandfather Matthew Hume’s name for thousands in loans. Banks in Paris Winchester and Lexington suffered losses including Bourbon Bank of Paris four thousand and Clark County National Bank Winchester twenty thousand.
