TECHNICALITY MAY STOP PROSECUTION Special to The Tribune. OGDEN, Feb. 8. By writing his address ad-dress instead of his name on the back of a check alleged to have been forged, Kay CraJg created a technicality which, the police believe, may prevent them from pressing a charge of "forgery. Craig presented pre-sented a check for $7.40 at the Glen Bros.-Roberts Ptano company's store. It bore the alleged signature of his mother, Frances E. Craig. According to tho clerk who received fhe check, Craig went through the usual motions of Indorsing It on the back, but Instead of donlg so he merely wrote, 'Tremonton. Utah, Box 131." Craig has herj sentenced to serve the balance of a ten-day sentence from which he was released re-leased on promise to return to his home at Tremonton.
