OTHERS INVOLVED?
A Chinese employee of Messrs. Russ and Company, was taken into custody yesterday by the Police in connection with an alleged frau- dulent attempt made at the Char- tored Bank to cash a forged cheque for $1,000.
A cheque, purporting to bear the signature of Mr. Young Pik- chi, interpreter, was presented at the counter. Careful scrutiny of the signature, detected the forgery bat the man who had presented the cheque had in the meantime
left the Bank..
A European detective officer was called in and, with the Bank clerk who received the cheque, visited the office of Messrs. Russ and Company to make investigations. It is under- stood that Mr. Yeung denied issu- ing the cheque and repudiated the signature. An office boy was pointed out as the person who handed in the cheque at the Bank. He was arrested.
