summer they have been much Of the time
IN BrattlebOrO was arrested here Tuesday
on "A charge Of forgery and taken to Brat
tlebOro on the afternoon train Wednesday
for n hearing, in charge Of Constable f. b.
Phelps, who made the arrest. The facts
seem 10 be that Mr.. Kendall was for some
time employed on the Terrace Hill milk
farm by the late H. W. Bancroft and at
the time of the settlement Of the estate an
amount was found to be due him of SS3 BE-
| When Administrator l.. 5. Hayes made
| payment to the creditors last spring he did
not know where Mr.. Kendall was, but in
August he found that he was at work in
Brattleboro and SO sent n check for that
amount to his address there. Meanwhile
it seems that Kendall and this woman, who
is now said to have never been married to
him, had separated but she secured from
the post-olice the letter containing the
| check and forged Kendalls name in a very
| deft manner ON the back Of the check She
took it to the Farmers & Mechanics Elk
change, where she had been buying gro
ceries, and said that Mr.. Kendall was busy
and wanted her to get it cashed. Mr.. Har-
low, the treasurer, not suspecting anything
wrong, gave her the cash ON it and depos-
tied it in his bank in due course Of bust
ness. 1t is said that the woman soon after
! disanuearnd With n man Lv tha name
| of Bird, Frenchman, who she says got
the money away from her after staying
with her only one day at Athol. Mass,
when she returned to Bellows Falls with
her two children and has been here since
a short time ago Mr. Kendall wrote Mr..
! Hayes asking as to the amount due him,
and this brought out the fact Of the check
having been sent and cashed as stated.
