A young man named William Myers was ar- rested yesterday by Detectives Raff and Carter and taken to police headquarters on suspicion of forgery. The prisoner was emphatic in the denial of his guiltand threatened a suit against every person whom he had reason to suspect was responsible for his arrest or had any con- ection whatever with it. He is not quite Gstrty yore old and has a wife and one child, He formerly lived in Rockville, Md., and his wife was from Snow Hill, Md. About four years ago Myers came here and obtained em- ploymentas a drummer for Barbour & Hamil- | ton in this city and for Mr. Harris, the grocer, in Georgetown. TRE FORGERIES DISCOVERED. Some time ago he was employed for a few days by Mr. J. Edward Chapman, the wood and coal dealer. Not many weeks after Myers left his employment Mr. Chapman discovered a shortage in his funds atthe National Metro- politan bank. The shortage was investigated and it was discovered that two forged checks— one for $85 and the other for 2150—had been honored at the bank. One check was dated December 24, 1889. It was made pay- ble to “‘myself or bearer,” the sum being #85, Mee: with such success the forger made out | a second check two days later and secured from the bank $150 of Mr. Chapman's funds, WHAT THE DETECTIVES LEARNED OF MYERS’ HABITS The officers in conducting the investigation learned that Myers had been drinking heavily and spending money freely. They also learned that while Myers was on a spree in Philadel- phia he received $25 froma man named Rid- dle, The prisoner claimed that the money was a loan, but Riddle told a different story. He said that while Myers was drinking he gave him (Riddle) $80 to keep for him and that the $25 was a part of thatsum. When the detec- tives told Myers what Riddle had said the prisoner remarked that he might as well tell the truth, Myers subsequently made A CONFESSION. He said he had been drinking and he man- aged some way to get into a room at a saloon, where he lost his money in whisky and gam- bling, and when he awoke the next morning he_was in a house on Maryland avenue. In the prisoner's possession was a letter from his wife complaining of his conduct and telling him that she had taken their child and re- turned to her former home at Snow Hill. He also had a letter of recommendation from Mr. Chapman. This morning the prisoner was photographed for the police gallery. COMMITTED TO JAIL. When the case was called in the Police Court Mr. Shillington for the defendant waived an examination and the case was sent to the grand jury. Being unable to furnish bail he was committed to jail.
