A Smooth Young Forger Will Ask For a Parole.

About four years ago the central part of Indiana sat up and took notice of the. operations of a young forger named - Orville Hodgson. He trimmed two Frankfort banks for about $4,000 on forged paper, made his escape, went to Louisville, Ky., where he made another big killing, met and married a young lady who belong;; to one of the best Kentdcky families. He was captured in Pittsburg in 1915, brought back to Frankfort, tried, convicted and sentenced to the Indiana Reformatory for a period of two to twenty-one yeats. He has made application to the state prison board for a parole and his case will come up at the next meeting' of the board. His wife has been very faithful to him.
