The Republican

Held in Custody on
Charge of Forgery

Clifford Reall, 18, Arrested Last
Friday Afternoon at His Home

Clifford Reall, an 18-year-old youth of the Gorman section, is being held in the county jail on charges of forgery, according to Neil C. Fraley, State's Attorney. The youth denies the charge and will be given a hearing before Magistrate H. A. Loraditch in the near future.

Reall is alleged to have forged the names of Phyllis Williams and Anna Sue Harvey, to a number of checks. Some of these checks were cashed, amounting to about $50.00, it was stated.

Reall had made most of the checks payable to a "Bill Walters". J. M. Jarboe became suspicious when the young man presented a check for payment on Friday and said he would have to call the depositor before the check could be paid. The young man left the bank without waiting for the check. H. C. Riggs, cashier, spotted him later at Table Rock Inn and learned his name, and Corporal Currie and Sheriff J. W. Owens made the arrest at the boy's home near the Fort Pendleton service station, later that day.
