Clever St Louis Forgers Use Clipboard Tricks In Bank Fraud
A gang of three to five forgers exploited genuine check formats by copying blank checks and numbering them to match victims, gaining access to funds. They studied lithographed headings and used a ruse claiming to inspect check books. Continental Bank lost £500 in one case. One victim, Julius Labsap, saw forged signatures and inner clues in the clerk’s notes, revealing the suspect methods. The group’s preparations were lengthy and bold, with swift, precise execution across operations. A separate report notes Annie Pixley’s relatives denying a large provision by Hubert Fulford amid ongoing probate battles.
