BELLING ADMITS CRIME OF FORGERY

Third Vice President of Bronx Bank Held in Bail. PROMISES FULL CONFESSION Prisoner Says He has Obtained Between $20,000 and $25,000 in Past Two Years on Worthless Securities He Handled; New York, Nov. IS. An off-hand confession of guilt was made by Charles A. Belling, third vice president of the Bronx National bank, while he was on his way to the police court to be arraigned on a charge of forging a certificate of stock in the bank and obtaining $3 000 from the Knickerbocker Trust company with it. Belling said he had secured money from the Northern Bank of the city of New York and from the National Reserve Bank, as well as from the Knickerbocker. Officials of the Northern Bank, after examining collateral of the bank, said that they had loaned Belling about $3,000 on bad certificates. There was a definite statement made that Belling had got loans on bad certificates from seven banks. Nothing could be found to corroborate this. John Bambey. manager of the Knickerbocker Trust company’s branch, who detected - Belting's forgery, said that in a long talk with him, Belling mentioned the Knickerbocker, the National Reserve and the Northern Bank as having loaned on his forgeries, but no other. Bering said to Detective Scheuing on his wy a to court; “There is ro fase in my trying to evade this thing.' There was more than the $3,000 I got from the Knickerbocker. I guess in the past two years I have got $20,000, maybe $25,000, on forged certificates. I got money from the National Reserve and the Northern Bank too.” A friend of Belling said Belling had not speculated. Belling has an invalid wife and his mother, who was in court, lives with him. This friend said Belling spent the initial sum on his family and afterward forged more certificates and got money with them to repay his first loans. Belling would not discuss his use of the money he got In police court BeHing was held in $20,000 bail for examination today. He promised to make a list, so far as he could, of his forgeries. S
