In addition to the worthless checks passed on Johnson Brothers Company, to which he had forged the name of John Weisbaker, of Taylor township, detectives say that he also passed one for $85 on the Carter Dry Goods Company, of Louisville. The detectives also claim that Sullivan at tempted to cash an $800 check en dorsed by T. B.

Sullivan has been in Harrison coun ty recenty and it is said that he has been engaged in buying tobacco. His wife, who was only fourteen years of age when they were married in 1922, has a suit pending in the Harrison Circuit Court for annulment of their marriage and asks for the restoration of her maiden name, Christena Dyer.
