Indicted Dyersville man posts bond to face fraud charges
Andrew Schlichte of Dyersville, indicted by the district court grand jury in June 1925 on two counts of issuing checks without funds, posted $3,000 bonds to assure appearance at trial. He was arrested en route east from Minneapolis after being spotted by Sheriff Kennedy. The bank thefts relate to a $200 check on April 4, 1924 and a $55 check on January 6, 1925, both without funds. Bank records show numerous cash items paid for Schlichte and doubts about his Tennessee land claims, with notes totaling $22,069.11 signed in 1923 now largely worthless as the bank failed.
