his failure has brought to light the uncomfortable
facts that he has been engaged in series stupen-
dons forgeries Ninety thousand dollars Of his
forged paper has been found in the Norwich bank

other institutions, Mr., P was extensively engaged
in the manufacture of railroad cars having carried
on one large establishment at Norwich another in
the neighborhood Of New York City. He had also
an iron foundry at Norwich. His failure must ne

business relations with him. He has absconded
and il is coniectured has left the country.
