THREE ELDERLY LADIES.

How They Gave Their Money to a TaIka-
tive Young Man, Wednesday-He Insured
hem Against Sickness-He Tried 1t on
an Elderly Man, but without Success.
A young man, giving the name of G.
f. Folsom. weighing about $50 pounds,
feet inches in height, dark complex
ion, dark hair, small dark moustache,
regular features, his eyes set quite near
together, wearing a dark grey mixed
suit and black stiff hat, very neat in ap-
pearance and good talker, at II O'Clock
Wednesday forenoon, called on an elder
ly lady on Atlantic street and insured
her for the sum of $l2, for one year
against disability arising from sickness
or accident, in the sum Of S25 per week
for 20 weeks. At II. 80 he repeated the op-
GRAFTON for another elderly lady ON the
same street with the same story, but
charged her SIG. so, that being the pay
ment for the first quarter. Shortly af-
ter o'clock he called on another elder
ly lady, at least 70 years old, and sue
eeeded after ten minutes talk in induc-
ing her to give up to him $50 for the
same insurance. At. this last place he
seemed to be. in a great hurry and said
that he had to go. to Biddeford. This
last lady desired to take advice before
buying the insurance, but he declared
it was either insure then or lose the OPP
portunity.
In each case a receipt was given,
signed &C. F Folsom, for Hartford In
surance Company" and now these un-
sophisticatt d ladies are anxious to know
if they will ever get any insurance for
their money.
Before talking with these three women
and getting their money, this money
making young man called at Daniel F.
Bartlett's house at No. II Monument
street, and gave the name of Haynes. He
tried to insure Mr. Bartlett. but the old
man would not give up any money 1t
was evidently the same man, as the de-
scription is the same.
All of the three ladies are over 20 years
of age One of them told the young
man that she was afraid he was fraud,
anu Gnab LneTe were SO many commence
men about now that she didn't dare to
trust him with money, and she wanted
him to call after But he said that he
was going away Immediately, and
shouldn't be around again for three
SO she grasped the opportunity
for this excellent insurance. and gave up
SIG. so.
Yesterday noon one of these eldrly la
dies showed her receipt to young man,
who told her that he thought she had
been cheated, and carried the receipt and
the story to Deputy Hartnett. The police
were searching for the young man all
yesterday afternoon, but without sue
cess Deputy Hartnett inquired of Dow
& Pinkham and learned that there is no
such insurance company. Besides no
in the world would insure an
slderly person against sickness on such
terms.
The three elderly ladies were alone
in their homes at the time, and all have
more or less money at their disposal. 1t
would seem as if Folsom, alias Haynes.
