Asheville, April 27—Following his apprehension this morning at Oteen hospital where he was visiting friends, C.V. Robbins, former membership secretary of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, was placed in the Buncombe county jail, where he is being held without bail pending his removal to Charlotte to face a charge of check flashing. The warrant was sworn out by W.W. Faver of Charlotte and Asheville, who with Mrs. Faver, conducted the Martha Washington candy shops in the two cities. The check in question was for $20 and was drawn upon a bank in Savannah.
From the front page of The Concord Daily Tribune, Saturday, April 28, 1923. Check flashing was another term for passing a bad check.
