1t has been a long time since as sad
case of business infdelity and rascality has
occurred in our town as came to light last
week regarding Charles +. Glynn of Saxtons
River village. Mr.. Glyun has been in trade
in this vicinity for a long time. Although
but 30 years old he had been in business thir-
teen years-seven at CambrdgepoTt and six
in the village where his last exploit was made,
He has a wife and three children. To all APP
pearance he had been having "A good trade
and was prospecting well. A year or two ago
considerable talk of a nature uncomplimen-
tafy to his social relations with a milliner in
his employ WAS made about the village and
enough facts coming to the ears of his wife
to warrant it, she left him and was gone until
last fall when she returned and has been liv-
ing with him since. He for the past few
months has been advertising to larger extent
than usual and been very busy collecting all
the bills which he could. Last week Monday
he started for Boston for the purpose, as all
supposed, of purchasing goods. Wednesday
his father received letter from him dated in
New York, saying that he should not come
back, and that he had taken that method of
Kidding himself of his business and family
cares. He asked his father to close up his
business as best he could and wrote Il decided
ly bombastic letter to be copied for each of
his creditors, reciting, to his own shame. how
much they had put confidence in him. and re-
minding them that he had been temperate,
industrious, &c., and throwing the blame of
the whole upon his family troubles. asked his
creditors to look upon his case with 'extenu-
alton" which they will be apt to do. care
full overlooking of his books show liabilities
of over $1,000, for which there is nothing to
show except his stock of goods, which will
bring hardly $1,000 mt forced sale. He
owed John A. Farnsworth Zone of his best
friends, and from the amount of his indebt-
edness to him it shows TO what extent he had
been willing to trust and assist him) $500
d0rT0Ned money. OF this Farnsworth holds
notes amounting to $1,000 with Glynns
fathers name Isaac upon them. The other
$500 Glynn borrowed Just before he went
away, and Farnsworth called for no surety as
he wanted it only short time to pay present
bills with. The father is along in years and had
Just about $1,000 saved from the earnings of
long and busy life, and this infamous trans
action of his son will entirely ruin him. The
remainder of his liabilities are principally
among creditors in Boston and elsewhere of
whom he had bought goods. Mr. Farms
worth at once attached the stock of goods
"wednesday evening" and no other attach.
ments were put on until Friday evening,
when Pollard 4 Holbrook of Keene placed
the second attachment, which has been fol-
lowed by others. His wife and father have
had one or two letters from him since. No
effort will probably be made to find him, as
the general feeling is that it would result to
no pecuniary good to his creditors and it GER
tainly would not to his family. The milliner
above referred to is also missing, and it is the
general impression that they are together.
Evidently his indiscretion in this respect has
been the cause of his downfall He took one
of his children with him. boy about six or
eight years of age, which seems rather pc
culiar. His brother G. L. Glynn continues
trade as heretofore, and is in no wise affected
by his brothers transactions. They were
formerly in trade together, the firm name be-
ing G. +. a @. L. Glynn. Previous to that
the firm had been l. Glynn a Sons. The
parties have been well known here, and a
deep and bitter feeling is manifest in the
minds of all toward the rascal who takes this
cowordly and in every respect low lived meth
cd of running his father disgracing his family,
cheating those who had always befriended
him, and defrauding his creditors to so large
an extent.
