BRADFORD THE SwNDLER-It will be re.
membered that d men giving his name as
George w. Bradford was arrested in this city
for trying to get goods ON a pretty extensive
scale and paying in bogus checks. He was not
very successful here, but had subsequently
tried this scheme in New York and made a
pretty good thing of it for the time being He
laid in Jail here until last Monday, when he
was given up to officers to be taken to New
York to answer to an Indictment for swindling
in that city. Bradford, alias Livingston alias
Barnum, went with another person to Tiffany s
iewelry store, on Broadway, and selected some
o,Ilx ofG g. I !
clerk to go with them to their lodgings for the
money. When they arrived at Livinestone's
lodgings they both showed considerable indig-
nation becauae some imaginary individual was
not there to furnish them with money, but one
of them went out and soon returned with a
check on one Of the banks of that city for
$3.50, which the clerk accepted and delivered
up his goods. Very soon after it was discov-
cred that it was fraudulent check, but by this
time the birds had flown and nothing more
was discovered of either of them till the de-
tectives traced this one to our jail He has
been recognized by Titfany's clerk as the prin-
cipal in the swinding operation in procuring
thai large amount of valuable jewelry
