YOUTH ADMITS FORGERIES
George WICK Caught Trying to Pass Bogus Paper on Company.
Caught attempting to cash a
forged check by presenting it in payment of a small account
owned by his father, at the Eastern Outfitting Company's
store, George WICKMAN, aged 13, was arrested last
evening by Detectives LITHERLAND and Van ORN.
The bill that he offered to pay
was $5, and he presented a check for $32, purported to be
made in favor of himself by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Grace
A. WICKMAN. Becomeing suspicious, the store
managers detained WICKMAN while they communicated
with the police. After his arrest it developed that by
a similar method he had obtained $9.40 from C. E.
STEALBERG, a grocer. At that time he presented a
check for $12 in settlement of an account for $2.60, also
owed by his father, WICKMAN confessed to both
forgeries last night.
His father, I. A. WICKMAN, who lives at 756 East
Ninth street North, told the detectives that his son was
incorrigible. He said he had previously assisted his
son after he had committed a number of similar offenses and
had attempted to reform him, but his efforts proved
unavailing and he was now not disposed to help him further. |

POLICEMAN IN CUSTODY
WILLIAM L. MILLER FACES SERIOUS CHARGE - Officer
Accused of Aiding Woman to Return Unlawfully to
United States.
William L. Miller,
a member of the Portland police bureau for the past
15 years and recently working from the Albina
station, was arrested yesterday by government
Kitty Williams, deported to France by the local
immigration officers from her upon her arrival and
to have brought her back to this city, from which
point she continued on to Butte. She will be
tried for violation of several sections of ht
immigration law, and Miller under the charge
of aiding the entry of an alien who was barred from
the United States.
The cases i the federal court will be prosecuted by
Joseph O. Stearns, Jr., assistant district
attorney.
Although no action was taken at police headquarters
yesterday subsequent to Patrolman Miller's
arrest by federal authorities, he will in all
probability be suspended from the Portland police
force today, according to acting Chief of Police
Moore. "If the charges against Miller
are true," he stated, "I see no other course open
but to dismiss him."
Patrolman Miller has been on the local police
force for 15 years, Acting Chief Moore
stated. He has maintained a good record during
that time, and the present trouble is the first in
which he has been involved while on the force. |
