Boy Forged Mayor Name for a Thousand Dollar Check
A Brooklyn boy pursuing a business course forged a check signed with the mayor’s name. The discovery began when two women found a $1,000 check and a two dollar bill in a pocketbook in the Equitable Building. Police traced the pocketbook to Jacob Shiffman, a 12 year old Public School 1% student. The boy’s teacher said he acted on instruction from his studies and not with wrongdoing. The mayor ordered return of the pocketbook and money, keeping the check as a souvenir, and the case closed.
