The Korgery Case. L. Snelgrove, alias R. H. Beaver, was tried before Mayor Cook this morning for forging the name of W. H. Xarver to a check, and bound ovter to court in the sum of $ioo, iustified. He failed to give the bond and was locked up in jail. Mr. Carver, of Red Springs, appeared as a witness, and showed by his check book that the last check used was num bered 806. The check given McMillan Bro.'s for $80.50 was numbered 807. This fact clearly demonstrates that it was a deep laid plot, and that the prisoner, or an accomplice, had had access to Mr. Car ver's check-book. The prisoner denies positively that he had an accomplice. It was brought out in evidence that McMillan Bro.'s gave their check in ex change for the one held - by the prisoner, less, the price of the stove ($12). The prisoner presented McMillan Bro.'s check to Mike Folb in payment of some purchas es of clothing, and received the balance in money. Thirty-five dollars and sixty-five cents in 'money and the various purchases were recovered from the . prisoner. Six teen dollars of the $80.50 is unaccounted for.
