In due course she took this supposed friend into her confidence, made a complete confession, and illustrated her skill by impromptu copies of her forgeries from memory upon a sheet of pad paper.

This the detective secured and then arrested her.

She was indicted for forging the name Alice Kauser to a check upon the Lincoln National Bank.

On her trial she denied having done so, and claimed that the detective had found the sheet containing her supposed handwriting in her husband's desk, and that she had written none of the alleged copies upon it.

The door of the courtroom then opened, and James Parker was led to the bar and pleaded guilty to the forgery of the check in question.
