Headline | Cashed a Bad Check |
Text | Saturday night information was placed in the hands of Sheriff Brixey to arrest John Perryman of near Butterfield on the charge of forgery. On Friday, May 27, Perryman presented a check in favor of himself drawn on the First National Bank at Cassville at the Exeter Bank. The check called for $65. The Exeter Bank thinking that the matter was a trusty one did not doubt but what Perryman had a deposit in the bank at Cassville until the check was protested by the Cassville Bank, Saturday. The check had been sent by the Exeter Bank to Springfield, from there to Kansas City and St. Louis and did not arrive at the Cassville Bank until Saturday. After the Exeter Bank was informed that the check had been protested Sheriff Brixey was notified and drove to Perryman's home but was informed that Perryman had left his family and had not been seen in that community for several days. Perryman is a son of the late Allen Perryman and has lived in the county practically all of his life. He is well known in many parts of the the county. |
