Beautiful young wife of reporter jailed for forging checks
A San Francisco report says Maud Craig Burke Davis, wife of J C Davis former New York journalist, faces jail for forging and passing more than 2000 in checks on a mythical New York bank. The couple, from Portland, planned a large payback with a store, funded by her dowry. Davis once worked for the Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, met his wife there, and they wed at Niagara Falls eight weeks ago. They pawned jewels to reach San Francisco where warrants for Mrs Davis were issued after similar charges by a furniture firm manager and a sewing machine agent. Rochester excitement followed the arrest rumor as Maud Daviss father, H H Craig, a lumber merchant, is believed wealthy.
