A Firm of swindleYs.

The Peculiar systemOf Business Put i'm
 Practice by Leigh 6 CO., Lats of 1o4
 State Street, whOIes ale JObbers-Their
 Present Whereabouts Unknown.
 About three weeks ago party of men op- ened store at 1O4 State street and started as iobbers in grocer's sundries and notions. There were two ostensible members of the firm. They gave their names as c. N. Leigh ard A. B. Carroll. It is believed that there was another in the business, altho ugh his part of the work was done outside. He went about the country picking out wholesale firms upon which he could play the game that the firm was operating Their system of work seems to have been to order price lists of the firms which their runner had selected and subsequently, goods on thirty days time As soon as the goods were received in New Haven they were reshipped and sold for what they would bring. It is thought that in this way the firm handled several thousand dol lars worth of goods, but their store was near ly empty all the time.
 After the firm had been operating for about a week Chief of Police Webster was called upon by Isaac F. Graham, superln- tendent of the New Haven branch of the Dun mercantile agency. MT. Graham was anxious to find out about the firm ofC N. Leigh & Co. Detective Reilly was instructed to look the matter up. He did so, going to a room over Yale & Bryan's store on State street opposite the suspected store. He watched there for number of days, and as result became con vinced that there was crooked Work golng on, but could not bring proof enough to warrant his making an arrest. From the peculiar nature of the fraud it was difficult to bring any definite action against the de- frauders Before they could be arrested they became frightened and left the city. and it is not known to what place of refuge they have betaken themselves.
 Among those who were taken in by Leigh & Co., were Alfred J. Bancroft of New Britain, Mir. Fenar of Troy, N. H., the Double Pointed Sack company of 109 Cham bers street, New York, and the Hampshire Paper company of South Hadley Falls, Mass
 The firm were not in the store but few hours each day and most of their goods were delivered at the rear door. When asked about the smallness of the stock one of the lessees said his partner was in the West buy ing goods, but that as soon as he returned the store would be stocked, signs put up and active business begun. One of the firm was young man of about thirty, good looking and with black mustache. He was Of slight build and walked with slight halt, as if one leg were shorter than the other. Had De tective Reilly sure case against the firm be could have arrested this fellow; but he did not dare to make any move until he had more evidence or some one made com plaint. The firms plan of promising to pay in thirty days made it difficult for the author ities to proceed against them.
 It is believed that Leigh & Go. are the same swindlers who recently operated 1T Boston and were written up in the Advertiser of that city. Subsequently they were heard l from in Providence.
