Ohio swindler Bates found guilty in common pleas court
The case of L. E. Bates, a known swindler who operated by passing bad checks on the Paulding Deposit Bank, ended with a guilty verdict and an eighteen month penitentiary sentence suspended until the next term. The trial drew public scrutiny as farmers were cheated out of property, Bates’ arrest followed a Bellefontaine stop at the fair, and the jury delivered the verdict after hours of testimony.
