Record:

GILMORE is a professional forger, well known in New York and several of the Eastern cities. He is said to have formerly lived in St. Louis, Mo., and has served time in prison there. He was arrested in New York City on June 24, 1878, and sentenced to four years and six months in State prison for forgery. He was arrested again in New York City on February 7, 1884. Mr. Goodwin, a baker, of No. 228 Front Street, New York, identified Gilmore as the man to whom on July 30, 1883, he had sold ten barrels of bread for $25.22, and who gave him a check for $70 in payment. The check was worthless. Thomas A. O'Brien, bookkeeper for Fitzpatrick & Case, spice dealers, of NO.7 James Slip, New York, said that on December 11, 1883, Gilmore paid him a check for $80, signed "R. H. Macy & Co.," for $45 worth of tea. In this case he obtained $35 change. Gilmore pleaded guilty to both complaints, and was sentenced to eight years in State prison on March 5, 1884, in the Court of General Sessions, New York. Gilmore's picture is a good one, taken in 1878.
