The grand larceny charge was fully proved, and the Judge's purpo: in continuing the case till to-morro was to con- sider how he could best treat the fallen creature. Mrs. Ashman was the wife of a well- to-do and respectable citizen, when her incurable apo e for drink compelled him to divorce her.

Schellenberg, 338 Golden Gate avenue, swore to a complaint before | Police Judge Fritz yesterday charging Walter E. Reed with the crime of for- gery. Schellenberg alleges that he and Reed had been living together at 338 Reed learned that | Golden Gate avenue. Schellenberg had money on deposit in the Hibernia Bank. In the coursd of conversation Reed drew from Schellen- | berg that it was a rule of the bank to obtain from the depositor the name of his mother. Reed learned the name ot Schellenberg’s mother. Complainant further alleges that on Monday last Reed broke open his trunk, stole his bank book and took it to the bank. Reed was asked the usual questions, including the one as to the name of his mother, and he answered them readily. He withdrew $45 and signed the book in Schellenberg’s name. Schellenberg’s suspicions were aroused by finding slips of paper bearing imita- tions of his signature. He looked in his trunk, found his bank book was missing, hurried to the bank and learned the trick that had been played upon him. The Schellenberg signature made by Reed in the book in the bank is said to be a very poor imitation. The bank officials are taking an active interest in the case and will assist in the prosecu- tion of Reed, flight.
