Two Young Men Use Fraudulent Check at Local Grocery
John Rogers of 1204 Franklin street confronted two well dressed men after they bought 1.20 worth of items and left with 19.50 change from a bogus 20.70 check. The check falsely appeared to be for Fred A. Andrews of 514 Independence avenue and was signed as E. M. Berkley Waterloo. No such account or address exists. Police Sgt. Burk and Officer Cumrine investigated without result. They asked nearby towns to watch for the pair, described as about 30, light and dark complexions, and wearing a silk shirt and neat attire.
