Louisville (KY) Courier-Journal, June 1, 1886, p. 6. FORGED MONEY ORDERS A Post Office Inspector on the Track of a Thief Mr. Barney Gladden was recently appointed postmaster at Lexington, Indiana, and took charge of the office about ten days ago. A few days afterward he discovered that 22 money order blanks had been stolen, filled up to the aggregate amount of $110.10, and cashed at Columbus, Indiana. An inspector went to work on the case and claims to have fastened the crime upon a prominent young man of Lexington. He says that the young man stole the blanks and forged Mr. Gladden's name to them. They were all drawn on the Columbus post office, and the forger was on his way to Columbus when he met a saloon keeper of that town whom he asked as a favor to cash the orders. The saloon keeper did so, and the signatures were so perfect that the postmaster at Columbus had no hesitancy in accepting the orders. It is said that the arrest of the alleged forger will follow at once.
