This Fellow Was Slick

John R. Seville, a Philadelphia detective, left Lansing, last Sunday, having in custody one of the most celebrated forgers that this progressive age has furnished. His name is Robert E. Harvey. His operations have been prmcipally with banks, and it is probable that that the sum of his clever forgeries vvould run far into the thousands He is wanted in five states. He has at least 23 different aliases, among them being the name of C. E. Hiscock, president of the Ann Arbor Savings bank. About two years ago this slick fellow operated at loo, Iowa, under Mr. Hiscock's name. He was looking for a good place to lócate the Aun Arbor furniture factory, and concluded that Waterloo was just the place. He also incidentally forged some paper there, as "C. E. Hiscock." At Chicago he also found that Mr. Hiscock's credit was excellent, and corabining his own cheek with Mr. H.'s name and credit, did a thrifty business among the banks there. Forged checks in the name of C. E. Hiscock on the First National bank of this city kept coming by every mail, till the sum ran up into the hundreds. It is probable that Robert E. Harvey is about done with the world, outside of solid walls.
