FORMER G-MAN HELD IN CHECK CASHING ‘GAME’

| | Credit Scheme After Year as Bank Seeks 0. K.

CHICAGO, May 11 (U. P).— Walter H. Wood, 55, a former GMan, described to State’s Attorney's investigators today a system of paper manipulations by which he had cashed approximately 12,000 checks during the last year in a scheme to keep ahead of his creditors. ’ Assistant State's Attorney Richard Austin said Wood admitted he had cashed checks by the score to obtain funds to cover previous checks. Austin said success of the “check chain” depended on the fact that it normally required 48 hours for a check to be cleared, which gave Wood time to cash more checks and place the funds in the bank to cover deficiencies of the preceding group. Wood told Austin he had cashed more than 1000 checks a month for as much as $5000 a day. His manipulations collapsed last week when a currency exchange sent one of the checks to a bank for certification instead of clearing it in the usual manner, With the chain broken, checks Wood had cashed during two previous days were found to be worthless. The total loss to exchange managers, store owners and friends who had cashed them was about $8200. Wood, head of a plumbing supply firm, resigned from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1928. He faced arraignment in felony court today on a charge of operating a

SUICIDE VERDICT IN LOCAL MAN'S DEATH commence same.” © Times Special — S WORLD COUNCIL OF RUSHVILLE Mey Ll Rewro CHURCHES IN SESSION

Roy Miceli, 24, of 639 S. East St, In-| dianapolis, was killed by gunshot at the home of his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Meo, here yesterday. Coroner R. O. Kennedy of | Rush County returned a verdict of suicide. His parents told Coroner Kennedy that Mr. Miceli kad threatened to end his life because of business worries.

He had been employed as a fruit dealer for 10 years.

UTRECHT, Netherlands, May 11 (U. P.). — Representatives of 30 churches in 21 countries, including the United States, were here today fer the World Council of Churches. The conference, which will continue until May 13, was opened yesterday by the Archbishop of York. Dr. John R. Mott, chairman of the International Missionary Council, and Danish Bishop H. Fuglsang addressed the convention. There were no representatives of the German Evangelical Church. Failure to participate was believed due to the sharp anti-Nazi resolution adopted at the Oxford Congress last summer.
