FORGER'S ‘DOUBLE’ GETS HELPING HAND

‘Phantom’s’ Confession May Save Him From Jail.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb. 13 (U. P.) —Clifford Shephard, 52, started back to Newark, N. J., today happy over the thought that he probably wouldn’t- have to “stand in” for the “phantom forger” again.

Because of this resemblance, Mr. Shephard said, he once served 28 months in prison for Sullivan’s forgeries in New Jersey. Last December he was arrested on the same charge again. With a prison sentence staring him in the face, Mr. Shephard enlisted the aid of the Rev. Harvey G. Chaurette, Newark, and the two came here to appeal to ‘“Sullivan’s better side.” They "visited Sullivan at State Prison and got what they came for —a signed confession saying that Sullivan had been forging the checks which were sending his double to prison. : "Assistant District Attorney Charles: Kerstein said he believed the “phantom forger’s” confession should clear Mr. Shephard.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 (U. P.)—By the simple expedient of verbal divorce, King Ibn Saud of Saudi, Arabia, whose religion permits only four wives, has married and parted from 250 spouses, two travelers reported today.

PHOENIX, Ariz, Feb. 13 (U. P.). —The swastika emblem of the 45th Division, comprising Southwestern National Guard units, was ordered abandoned today because it looks too much like the Nazi cross.
