art of passing the checks and la a
story to tell for about five weeks
and were then given a trial in some
city other than Chicago, where the
ring’s headquarters were. The APT
prentice would present himself at
some bank, having the day before
deposited $5 or $10 in a savings ac-
count. and offer a check for $98.86
from the San Francisco division of
the ‘■Southern Pacific Railroad
Company," accompanied by a letter.
The. letter, printed on the same sta-
tionery, would set forth that a
check for $98.86 was inclosed, and

knowledged ,
Generally the banks accepted the
checks for deposit. A day later
the apprentice would *o and draw
out all except $15 or 120 and depart.
