WATERS HAD MANY ALIASES.
rhe Green Goods Operator Known
Throughout the State.

The Green COOUS operator known
Throughout the State.
There are several charges against
William c. Waters, the green goods
Wednesday night, among them being
swindling by a counterfeit money
scheme, using the mails for fraudulent
purposes, etc, which offences are suffi-
cient to give him a good-sized term in
the state prison. He has had different
names in different places, being known
in New Britain as +. M. Williams, in
den as G. p. Dean. He has also done
business under the name of the T. R.
Supply company.
His scheme has been to send out circu-
lars TO parties who were guessed to be
not quite straight, stating, in a way to
be understood by the receivers of the
circulars, that he would furnish 500 in
counterfeit money for $40, $1,000 in
counterfeit money Cor SIS, etc. His
wanted 500 in counterfeit five-dollar
bills. Waters would reply that his five
dollar bills were all gone, but he could
send the money in one-dollar bills, and
as a sample he would enclose good
one dollar bill which had been scrubbed
in sand to make. it look strange. His
customers, on receiving this, would as
certain that 1t was received as gOOO
money and would send for large
amount of what he called counterfeit
money, thinking they could pass the
rest Of it as well as the first dollar.
After thus sending their money to
| Waters they would never get a reply or
hear of it again. Waters in this way
obtained much money, and his many
victims did not dare to say anything be-
cause they had been making themselves
liable to arrest in attempting to buy the
counterfeit money.
When he was arrested in New Britain
two gold watches and lot of Confeder-
ate and Canadian money were found on
him, and price-lists of counterfeit
money. There was also mileage book
of the Consolidated road, issued to w.
C. Waters, 253 Main street, Hartford
Conn. 1t is thought he may have con-
federates. He will be given hearing
next Thursday. Waters is the son of an
Advent preacher who was formerly
warden Of the borough of Winsted.

interesting trial this morning. Judge
Cowell presided and Court Messenger
Holohan prosecuted in the absence OF
Attorney Burpee.
William Rocket was first on the list
Thirty days in the town house to sober
up was the sentence of the court.
Mary Sharpe, who has figured many
times as a drunkard, was in the box and
her virulent tongue almost broke up the
court. She was sentenced to ~ days IN
the town house. Mary then opened on
the court and between her oaths and
gestures, she scared even the judge hlnl-
self She was removed from the room
to the station, still cursing.
For some weeks the police have been
watching the movements OF certain
females in town and last night they ar
rested Aggie Fitzpatrick, Mrs Julia
Demorest and lisa Agnew, for being
street walkers. The police were the My
witnesses against them. The Fitzpatrick
girl has a room on Grand street and has
no visible means Of support. The Dem
crest woman has family of three chill
dren, but prefers street walking and
drinking to her home. The Agnew girl
was a boon companion of people who
are not over moral. Attorney Lowe,
who was appointed to defend them,
made an eloquent appeal for the women,
but Judge COwell imposed sentence of
Is DAYS with costs in the town house on
each. An appeal Yves taken in the Fitz-
patrick girls case.

\ BIr OF ADVICE FOX BOYS. You
are made to be kind, says Horace Manu-.
generous. magnanimous. If there is
boy in school who has a club-foot
don't let him know vou ever SAW it. If
there is poor boy with ragged clothes.
don't talk about rags in his hearing. If
there is lame boy. assign him some
part of the game which does not re-
quire running. If there is a dull one.
help him to get his lesson. If there is
bright one, be not envious of him :;
for if one boy is proud of his talents,
and another is envious of them. there
are two great wrongs, and no more tai
ent than before. If a larger or strong
er boy has injured you and is sorry for
it, forgive him. and request the teacher
not to punish him. All the school will
show by their countenance how much
better it is than to have great fist"
