New York Police See No Link to Russian Group
New York police have no evidence supporting Pittsburgh detectives theory that a bomb explosion the previous day stemmed from actions at the Russian radical headquarters located at 133 East 15th street. The house known as The Russian People's Home has been surveilled since a March raid that led to 164 arrests and four deportations. Police say there is no proof the home served as terrorists headquarters.

Clever check crook foiled by cashier initials slip
Ey Otis Perkins of Citizens State Bank reports a clever check forging attempt uncovered when the forger failed to verify the cashier initials EL H Perkins. Two $100 checks pass through Lawrence Clearing House, cashed in Kansas City, with stamps and signatures. The culprit posed as a Douglas County farmer, bought wheat bags and belting, but the scheme collapsed when the bank noted the cashier’s name had been dead for over a decade. Banks and Kansas City firms have become wary and expect no repeats.
