Between then and last night he forged and cashed | checks totaling $610 and spent vir-. tually the entire sum. He appears to be nearer 20 than 15 vears old. On Saturday he presented two checks totaling $97 at the bank and received the money. These checks, | as*the others which followed, bore the purported signature of the elder Schmidt. The son went downtown and spent it for regalia-——-$14 shoes, $45 suit and silk shirts, handker-. chiefs and hose. Returning to the bank, he cashed two more checks for $50 each and’ bought a $45 overcoat and a $30 hand bag and proceeded to the La- clede Hotel, where he registered un-, der an assumed name. He then hired a taxicab. He in- etructed the taxicab driver that he wanted “to see the town’ and the taxicab driver drove him about cafer, where Schmidt drank innumerable sarsaparilla rickeys. On Monday morning he was broke but insatiated. He returned to the bank with checks for $136, $167 and, $110, drawn on downtown banks and |! signed with names that recommend- | ed themselves to his fancy. The checks were honored and he re- sumed “seeing the town.” He en- countered a man who had a pair of) dice and went with him to his room at the hotel, where the man who owned the dice quickly won $345. His loss reduced his cash to $6. and he returned to the bank, present- ing a check for $250. As the teller. was passing out the money, Schmidt remarked: “I guess I might as well get the. other one cashed, too,” and) presented another $250 check. “Wait a minute,” the teller ex- claimed, “these are coming too fast I will have to ask your ‘daddy.’ ” Schmidt ran from the bank. The cashier described him to de- tectives as “dolled up like a mil-| lion” and upon that description the youth was singled out among pedes- ef Detention. + Navy' Thomas Halpin, 73, Drug Store at Grand and Olive.
