N. Covin, of Odabuque, Iowa,in this city on Mon day morning, fur forgery. At that time the facta In connection with the crime were not obtainable. In fact, the local authority* either Chief Hennett or Sheriff Franxhelm.kncw nothing of tho arrest which was made by Detectlvo W. II. Muncy, of tho National Detcc tlvo Bureau, of Chicago. He was hur ried out of town on the llrnt train for Pittsburgh, agreeing to go without tho formality of requisition papers. He made this concession to the detectlvo when tho latter promised to take him to Youngstown, Ohlo.whero Covin says 1k? hns u? undo who will glvo lilm enough money to square himself. Covin Is charged with forgery, and'| the story of the crime, ssys the Pitts burgh Post, 1h as pocullar ns his I scheme was clover. Ho anil his cousin | were both employed by a manufactur er In Odabuque, who employs 750 hands. The prisoner was a clerk and his cousin Is cashier and enjoys tho confidence of his employer. It was the cashier's duly to pay the men every two weeks and to draw such sums from, the bank as were needed to con duct the business while the proprle- I tor was away. He signed the name of his employer to cheeks and added his | own, which Is the same as tl?e prison er's. There Is another bank besides tho one used by the manufacturer for a depository. The prisoner was a per sonal friend of Its cashier, and he kept a small account in the bank. It was a chance that gave Covin his op portunity. A vacancy occurred In the bank In which the manufacturer do posited. nuil (ho position was offered to Covin's friend, who accepted. The first day he was there-chanced to l>e a pay day, and Covin was sent there by his cous>n, with a cherk for 511.000 to pay the hands. He greeted the cashier smilingly and naked for.a blank check. It was handed to him, and going to a table he pretended to fill It out. The cashier took It, and the signature be ing, of course, new to him, as was tlw account, he examined the l>ooks and found It correct. He paid the money, which Covin safely delivered to his cousin. The next Saturday was not n pay day. Covin hurried Into the bank Just before closing hours and exclaimed: "I came near missing you and the men would have had to disappoint their butch'TS to-morrow. Give me a, blank check." The check was given to him and Co vin cooly filled It out for $14,000, sign ed his employer's name and his own und handed It bacl: with a smile. The cashier thought he had seen him write a similar check a week before and asked no questions. Covin walked back to the office and went to supper with his cousin. He kept close to his cousin until he went to bed. The next morning he was missing, but the for gery was i:c?t discovered until the fol lowing Saturday. Cavln camo to Pittsburgh and was located by the detectives in Allegheny where he had been four months. Be fore he could be arrested he skipped out, and after a search for four weeks was found in Wheeling. He has $11,000 left and says that an uncle In Youngs town will loan him $3,000 with which to smooth matters over. The forgery was committed last February. OFFICIAL ROUTE TO CANTON.
