John Hicks, white, is at liberty under $1,000 bond in Asheville, after being arrested on a charge of forgery by United States Secret Service Agent H.E. Thomas here. He was arrested after Mr. Thomas had worked up the alleged case against him. He was arraigned before a United States commissioner in Asheville and held for the Spring term of Federal court at Asheville.
The defendant is accused of raising $5 bills to $50 bills. He stated before the commissioner that he bought a gallon of liquor from a man and the man with whom he traded alleged that he was guilty of counterfeiting.
