FORGERY NO 2.
is Pastor Cook Responsible For
the Latest?
Iu attendance at the Baptist' (ieueral
Association of Virginia, which was in ses?
sion a short time ago in this city, was
Rev. Leslie Ccok.who was for some time
pastor of the East Roanoke Baptist
Church. Mr. Cook,having lived here for
some time,was well and favorably kncwn
by many of our citizens, and, when one
day he sauntered into Overstreet A Thur
muu's furniture store on Camphell ave?
nue and asked E. A. Thurnian to cash a
c'?eck for him that, gentleman, knowing
Mr. Cook personally, hastened to comply
with bis request and Mr. Cook after
thanking him left the store.
The check was In favor of "L. Cook"
and drawn by T. W. Hood & Co. for
$27.00 on tho Security Bank of Rich
rnoud. The check was duly deposited in
the First National Bank in this city to
the credit jf Overstreet & Thurnian and
wns then sent to Richmond for collection.
When presented at the Security Batik
for payment the teller refused to pay it,
claiming that it was a forged cheek. It
was then tnkeu to the olliee of Messrs.
Hood & Co., who also sain it was forged.
The check was thereupon protested uud
sent back to this city.
As soon as Messrs. Orcrstreet & Thur
tuan were informed that the check had
gone to protest and was said to be forged,
they?wrote to Messrs. llocd & Co., and
yesterday they received the following an?
swer, which explains itself:
"Richmond, Va., Nov. 21), '07.
"Messrs. Overstreet & Thurnian. Roan?
oke, Va.
"Hear Sirs:?Your lttter of the 215th is
received. We at one time bad in our
employ a man named Leslie Cook. Wo
have never seen him, and it is only con?
jecture on oui part that he is the party
who has been forging checks. One check
purporting to have been signed by US
was drawn on the Lincoln .National
Hank, of Washington, and a number of
checks have been drawn on the Securit
Hank of Richmond. If you would write
to vbe chiei of police at. Richmond.giving
him a full description of the party who
negotiated the checks, you, perhaps,
might help to catch tho swindler. The
chief of police of Fredericksburg and the
chief of police of Richmond are doing all
they can to catch the party, and they Re?
lieve they now have a good description of
the man. As we stated above we have
never seen the party, and know nothing
about him except that tho checks are
forged. Yours truly,
W. 1. HOOD & CO."
A Times rdporter bavins seen the
above letter on the fll? at police head?
quarters about noon yesterday at once set
: forth to find out all the particulars pos
! sible and went immediately to Overstreet
! & Thurmnn's store, where he saw Mr.
; Thurnian. In reply to a i|iiestion Mr.
Thurnian said that he had known Rev.
Air. Cook for some time, as they hoarded
iu tne same house when Mr. Cook had
charge of a church here, and that it was
Rev. Leslie Cook who presented the check
I and got the money. Mr. Thuiman then
I handed the check to ?he reporter am. told
I Dim to examine it. After looking at it
I for some Hire he came to the conclusion
I that the handwriting on the fnce and etl
| dorsement of tho check was the same and
especially the name "L. Cook'' on troth
face and back.
Mr. Thurman also stated that Mr.
Cook took supper at his hoarding house
the night ol the day on which he cashed
his ( heck.
Mr. Cool: has many warm friends in
this city who will no doubt be both as?
tonished and grieved to hear oi his down
fall. As far as could be ascertained Mr.
Cook has not, at present, charge ot any
church anil ii could not lie learned where
he was living
Of course Mr Couk may be entirely in?
nocent in regard to the forging of the
check, but the fact that the writing of
both, the face ami indorsed name ol the
check are identical gives the a Hair a
n>:ghty Ugly look. The facts remain,
however, that the cheek has been pro
nounced a forgery; that Rev. Mr. Cook
l:o! the money on it, and that Overstreet
iV Thurnian aw out of pocket $37.00.
Mr. Cook may not rnly not have forged
the check, but he may not have known ir
was forged when he uttered it.
