SLEUTHS SECRETS IN CHECK THEFT AT RAILROAD STORES
The belief that stolen checks were involved was confirmed after two vouch ers cashed checks at Fentiman Trunk Company and Stowers Furniture Company using signatures believed forged. Railway officials and detectives worked quietly for two days before the loss was publicly acknowledged. A tip led to a news story, and officials hesitated to release details to avoid tipping off the robbers. San Antonio merchants feel the stance hurting them as the railroad stopped payment, making merchants losers. John Fentiman of Fentiman Trunk Company cashed one check and Stowers Furniture officials lament a lack of prior disclosure, saying a report should have been issued.
