No Binding. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Wanted Poster 303 x 213 mm. In acid free Mylar sleeve. Will be shipped flat between heavy cardboard layers, never rolled. Flier issued by the William J. Burns International Detective Agency for J. D. Austin, a prolific check forger with a long history of arrests. His ultimate fate after this 1922 bulletin is obscure. "J. D. Austin" was an alias. He is identified in various police records as John D. Austin or J. D. Altman. Operating across the U.S.as a bogus magazine subscription agent and traveling salesman, he used charm and false credentials to pass worthless checks to merchants and hotel managers. Prior to this notice, he had been apprehended in different states under similar fraud charges, often skipping bail or serving short sentences before moving to a new region. Because he operated across state lines before modern unified tracking databases, career "paper hangers" (check forgers) like Austin frequently shifted identities. The handwritten "2169" is a ledger number. Minor staining. His description includes: "Appearance - Jewish" Transcription: RAYMOND J. BURNS, PRES. W. SHERMAN BURNS, SEC. & TREAS. THE WILLIAM J.
