MR. BAKER M IKES T1 LSA BC8I-
NESS Ml N AFRAID TO SIGN
A CHEt K I on FEAR IT
ILL III l( IM n.
A mosi entertaining gentleman is
Mr. w. L Baker who has i n In oui
midst for a tew days engaged In
demonstrating the gentle art of for
gery up-to-date
There Is nothing of the low-browed
criminal about .Mr Baker. In fact
ha could qualify In almost any com-
pany as a high-grade cltisen of sober
demeanor Bui give him s well-filled
fountain pen and a bundle of bank
checks and he works transformation!
In the amounts of the checks thai
would make the man who signed
them sit up and gasp for breath.
Mr. Baker bays that mere forgery
of signatures is a most clumsy crime
out of date and unworthy of the pro-
fessional penman and he scorns to
Imitate a signature "Why take the
trouble" queries he "to forge n man's
signature when with scarcely any
trouble you can procure one of his
In in i fide chicks bearing Ills genuine
signature that will pass at the bank
without question?"
The newspaper men watched Mr.
Baker at work the other day and
found It exc Ilngty Interesting to see
him change the amount on nearly
every check that was placed before
him. With a few pen strokes "two
dollars" became "five hundred dol-
lars." right In front of your eyes. A
carefully written "sixteen" magically
changed to "seventy-six.' "F.lght dol
lars" was transformed to "eighty dol-
lars' in a twinkling and with only
one sweep of the pen. In fact it
seemed as though It would be sort of
careless to p'iv Mr. Baker anythinp
by cheek Without making him rross
his heart that he wouldn't take more
out of the bank than the check really
and truly culled for.
Given n ordinary check carefully
drawn for almost any amount. Mr.
Kiker proves that the person to whom
the check Is payable can easily chance
the amount to read for any amount
of money thai he happens to need.
This Is accomplished as already ex
j plained by merely adding pen sti nk' s
'and figures tfl the original amount
: and without using acid or rubbing
anything out.
Where S more pretentious piece of
work is required he adopts the old
forger's trick of uidng acids with
I whb h everything thnt nas been writ-
ten on the check may be removed
1 except the sliMiaturo and the amount
l date name of payee etc. rewritten
j to suit the forger.
' Check raising nowadays according
to this versatile 1 gentleman. I not
confined to profeHsloniJs. In fact
' most of this work Is done by people
who never thought of such n thing
until th happened to Deceive a
check biaring some Well known sig-
nature and also happened at the
same time to "need the money" whkh
Is so enslly obtained with Just a few
pen strokes.
Many of the recent CSSeS of cheek
raising have been the work of confi-
dential employees bookkeepers)
clerks rnshlers etc. who held posi-
tions of irUSt and were above mere
vulgar "stealing" hut found It SS
easy to raise their employers' check
that they couldn't resist the tempta-
tion. A good Illustration of this Is the
celebrated Wasserman cuse thnt

Another case reported in the news-
pap' is last September was that of i
13-y ear-old girl In Marysvllle CaL.
who confessed tbit she had robbed
her guardian of hundreds of dollars
by raising checks hearing the guar-
dian's genuine signature. One of
these eh.- i.s originally signed

Baker has made a bobby of collecting
forgeries He has a collection of
clippings almost as large as a bale of
hay ail of thi in relating to famous
eases of forgery that have i-ngngeO
the attention of Plnkerton men and
bank officials throughout the country.
Seine of his reproductions of raised
cheeks arc mosi interesting examples
of the forger's handiwork For In
Stance there Is the draft that was
raised by a professional band Iii Ban
Francisco from 112 to (22000 and
cashed by the bank for the latter
amount. The fraud was not detected
Until the cancelled draft came hack
weeks later.
Another Interesting exhibit Is a
Check raised on the Otis Klovator Co.
from 15 to $5500 by an employee;
and another Issued by an Ohio bank
thai "as raised to $10 000 and when
the news reached the depositors they
Immediately started a "run" that
forced the institution Into receiver-
ship. Among his clippings Mr. Baker
has nearly three hundred taken from
newspapers during the fhst six
months of 1909 clone showing the
amazing frequency of this fin in of
crime. Moreover II Is estimated that
for every case of check raising that
gets Into the newspapers there an al
least a dozen never made public -for
reasons best known t'i the victims
who signed thi' checks.
In fai t in cording to Mr Baker you
never can tell when you sign a cheek
Whether all the different people who
will handle It are honest or not: o-
what Its amount Will bS when It fin-
ally gets to the bank for payment. So
Iho only syst. ni. In case your signa-
ture is worth anything Is to stamp
each check wllh the Todd "Not over"

through the paper. This Is said to be
the only devb e thai has never bei n
beaten. All other kinds can be rail
ed according to Mr. Baker and h I
offers to prove It.
