New England, but it was crippled very severely
by the operations Of Ezra d. Winslow, whose
forgeries will be remembered. Winslow played
piety to shield his crimes and the town was
greatly shocked when the exposure came
showing that he was forger to the amount OF
millions. The rascal fled and went to
south America where IL Is said that in Buenos

Charlie Towle, who is pleasantly remembered
by every newspaper man in Washington. isnow

to the home office and took charge OF the paper

business principles He hax succeeded. and
