tongued young man visited all the resi-
dences on Kiefer street soliciting worl
for the Waterbury Portrait Co, which
he said was doing business at No Il
Postotfice arcade. He secured photo
graphs from individuals and fifty cents
in advance. The crayon portraits were
to be finished yesterday. Several per
sons called to find that there were NJ
tenants at II Postoffice arcade. There
have been several hundred persons look
ing for No II during the past few days
and it is possible that several hundred
more have fallen victims to the swindler
for he visited all parts of the city before
; leaving.

terday Scoville received a lette
: from Bailey in which he says tina
