Yesterday the chief received a communi-
cation from the president Of the Barton
National bank, in Barton, VT, which
shows fully the manner In which the
swindlers are working. The game is a new
one in their vicinity, and one which IL will
DO Well to Look OutsFor.
In the communication, IL was stated
that several days ago the bank received a
communication from Boston which was
written on q letter head which read as fol-
lows:
"OfHce Of Emery g. Goodsell, importers
and jobbers of foreign and domestic fruits,

A short time after the letter had been
received, Mr.. Metzger called at the bank

lions had been asked by the cashier, he
identified himself by indorsing his name
on the check in the same handwriting as
that Of the signature that had been for
warded to the bank.
The man looked well, and his SIS was
forthcoming. He then departed. The fol-
lowing day the check was sent to n Boston
bank, which sent it back to the Barton
bank with the information that
The Check Was Worthless.
No such firm as Emery & Goodsell or such
person as Metzger could be found. The
police were then notified.
The same game has been worked in
Providence and other places, and several
Boston banks a v also suffered. A diff

Is supposed that the swindler has a partner
in this city. whose work 1t is to write the
letter. THE checks are obtained in the
usual way, by taking them from the desks
in the front of banks.
The swindler is described as being of
dark complexion, wearing a black nous
tache, and as dressing in a dark colored
business suit. He is Of medium height,
weighs about 135 pounds, and is appar-
