order,.

The other day NAB ctlling himself Frank
store in Longfellow Square, and gave that
firm an order. purporting to come from
Samuel L. Taylor who trades with Messrs.
Morrill, & Ross for some provisions, the
same to be charged to Mr.. Taylor's account.
The goods ordered were put up and Frank
Smith went off with them. The next day
Mr. Taylor called at the store and one OF the
members of the firm said, I'VE got that order
Mr.. Taylor" what order?" asked Mr..
Taylor. "The order you gave Frank Smith
for groceries to be charged to your account"
81 have given no such ORDER" responded
Mr.. Taylor. Then 1t was discovered that
something was wrong. Inquiries were made
and it was found that Frank Smiths de-
scription corresponded precisely to that of a
one Willis Bryant who lives at the Cape
with a man named Small. A gentleman
went to :SmalPs house but Bryant was not
there. Mr.. Small. however. was able to
describe some groceries that Bryant brought
to his, SmalPs house, the night before, and
strange to say those groceries were the same
kind that Smith got on a forged order Of
Morrill, & Ross. Thursday eYealng Deputy
Sheriff II. r. Sargent accompanied by
Messrs. Morrill, & Ross drove to the Cape To
see II they could find their man. Just
| before reaching SmalPs house they passed
| Bryant who had lot Of bundles Of provi-
| sions In his arms. They drove into the next
| door yard, Mr.. Sargent got out Of the car
| rage and went back and arrested Bryant,
| took him 70 the city, and lodged him In Jail.
| Bryant himself was the first person to refer
| to the forgeries Of Frank Smith who was
| recognized by Messrs. Morrill, Il Ross In the
| person Of Willis Bryant Bryant's life has
| been one of crime from boyhood. AT the
/ age Of about IS years he was sent to the
| Reform School where he remained until, on
| account OF very bad behavior, the authorities
| transferred him to the jail. In 1884 he was
| sent to State Prison for three years for the
| very crime for which he has just been ar
| rested. He would not tell where he got the
| goods that he carried when arrested. but
very probably they too were procured by
fOrgeries.
