A Chapter Of vi;lanies by First Glass Citi-
zen-InceMdiarisna-For cries-EiiKht.

From tho Burlington Free Press, May 26.l
The people OF Essex have been thrown into state
OF feverish excitement during The past few days by
the astounding disclosures coming TO light IN rela-
ton to Mr.. Asa Sanders0n, formerly and for many
years principal Of Essex Academy and later one OF
the teachers In the graded school at Swanton Falls
His peCuniary Affairs have been for some time past
IN muddled condition. eliminating la the burning
OF the academy building just at the close OF the
last winter term. ne building was largely
insured In the Vermont Mutual and in the
Putnam insurance companies. Tne amount
Of insurance as settled Dy the agents OF the
insurance companies was about $1,000 nearly all OF
which was pledged to individuals security for
debts owing. a portion OF the money thus pledged
was procured by Mr.. Sandcrson papers forged for
the parpose, the Vermont Mutual beng ''done" out
Of 81, 900 by the process.
on sa tnrday last Mr. sanderson visited Essex for
the purpose OF completing the transfer OF tho site OF
on being confronted with the evidences OF his forgery
10 the insurance company, he acknowledged the TACT,
alleging as an excuse the pressure Of circumstances,
and seemed anxious to make all things right by
securing the payment OF the money he mad falsely
obtained to the rightu person In pursuance OF this
object he eluded the vigilance OF the oiicer who had
hm IN cnarSe, by promise upon his honor to stay
with friend In town Till the whole matter was
setfied and at ten y. NJ OF that evening he took leg
bail for Canada, VIA Fairfax and Fairfield, ut which
later place he hired to carry HIM to Berkshire
and another to carry him to Pigeon Hill. +. u.
Immediately upon his departure new evidences OF
forgery their appearance in the shape OF notes
to various Individuals for money loaned, purportng
to be signed by the most responsible men In town.
In some instances forged notes were gwen to take
up those that were gennines IN others large amounts
OIL money were obtained on notes wholly fraudulent.
The amount thus obtained lar now knowa is
between So 600 and $4,000, dating back August,
1885, and continuing frequently repeated Intervals
to the date OF his removal TO Swant0n, and ending,

part payment Of the place recently purchased by n
In that place.
Mr.. Sanderson has, SO far as we are aware, always
borne good character for integrity beyond re-
proach, and stood hign as a successful teacher. The
discovery OF the fraud In relation the insurance
on the academy cannot fail To suspicion that
the burning OF the building was not accidental as
was at first supposed ut the time; bnt that Mr. San
derson has added anoIher grave crime to that OF
forgery. The case IL melancholy one In every re-
