Charges of forgery and obtaining money under false pretenses were filed Sunday night against. Arthur G. Borde, a nattily dressed young man, 24 years old, by Wilson Lambert, manager of the Southern Automatic Music Company of 828 Travis street. Borde came to Shreveport from Memphis and he has been here two weeks. The forgery charge, it is said, grew out of contract which had been prepared by Borde and which stated that he was the authorized agent of the company.
The contract bore the signatures of W. J. Lambert, owned of the music company, and G. B. Hughes, the bookkeeper.
Both signatures, Mr. Lambert said Sunday night, were forgeries. As Detectives Sullivan and Gillespie approached Borde Sunday night to place him under arrest, Borde is said to have stuffed the contract into his mouth to destroy it. The paper was recovered, however. The owner of the music concern met Borde on the train while the two were on their way-to Shreveport from Memphis.
They were soon on friendly terms and shortly after their arrival, Mr. Lambert said, Borde approached him with the request that he cash a draft on Marion Hall of Memphis for $25. The draft was cashed. but was later returned. Sunday morning, Mr.
Lambert said, Borde prepared to leave Shreveport. He presented a check for $50 to Wilson Lambert, it is said, and the check was cashed. Twenty-five dollars was to cover the draft and the other $25 was handed to Borde. Later it was found out, Mr. Lambert said, that Borde had no funds in the bank on which the check had been drawn.
The charges followed.
