Man Forged Check Theft Nets Securities Near Half Million
A 25 year old Harlem resident Harry A Leonard arrested on the way to church after using a forged City Bank check to obtain securities valued at 359000. He turned over about half the stolen items and claims he forged to expose banking security weaknesses. Leonard, a former transfer clerk and law student, admits plotting alone. He mailed 300000 of the securities to Pearl Co and kept about 59000, saying his act aimed to show how easily such thefts could be done. The marriage followed at the judge's home. The bride and groom plan a Washington avenue home. Leonard's background includes deputy sheriff/jailer work and employment at an ice plant. The ceremony occurred at a First street corner home with Mrs Bailey and Miss Kite present. The couple will reside in Harlem. The investigation notes that only about 50000 of the seized items remained negotiable. The case underscores modern banking vulnerabilities.
