Two Spokane Teens Arrested for Forgery in Town
Two 18 year old boys from Spokane forged two sixty dollar checks on a local bank using the name Chas A Fox who died in January. They cashed the checks via Butler Sampson and P W Allen and then bought Seattle bound tickets. They were chased by Mr Allen and turned over to Officer Guest at the city hall. They will be tried in Wenatchee for forgery and likely sent to the reform school. The youths admit they learned the method from crime novels and were not hardened criminals.
