How a summer BOSrder Did Up His
/ pears Here and Is Take n Several Times.
About two weeks ago fellow giving
the name of A II. Barnes, claiming to
live in Brooklyn and to have been in the
employ of Hilton. Hughes Il Co., for -
wears. appeared MIDTOWN and after some
! inquiry engaged board at W. w. Cooks.
He said he was out of health and wanted
| to stay for the summer. He engaged
quarters for his daughter and also for
another family by the name of Sanders
| who. he said, were coming after the first
of June. He called very chattily at
several of the dry goods stores, recog-
nized the proprietors whom he said he
had seen at the store and invited some
OF them to sign drafts with him, but
without success. so far as can be
learned.
But he did succeed in pulling" Mr..
Cook. suggesting in most business
like way that he would draw on his em-
ployers for 500 which he would like to
use, and as he was stranger at the
bank of course the draft would have to
have an endorser and would Mr.. Cook
accommodate him, as matter of form.
Cook was very glad to accom-
modate. and the fellow with the draft
went to the Vermont National about 10
O'Clock Wednesday and got 500 in good
money, and probably took the II O'Clock
train north. The conductor remembered
a man of that description who went to
Bellows Falls. He didn't appear ut
dinner, but had left his valise,
which proved to be empty .at the house.
The draft OF course was dishonored
when it reached New York. Postmas-
ter Childs telegraphed Hilton
Hughes yesterday and got the reply
that no such man was in their
employ or ever had been, though
a J III Barnes worked for them
two years. '92-4. The result is. of
course. that Cook has the 800 TO pay the
bank.
The man was some Gft tall. very slim
with very white skin, Us If he was just
out of confinement. with large dark
brown eyes and exceedingly black whis |
kers, which some who saw him believe
to have been false. One shoulder was n
little lower than the other. He wore a
brown derby hat. and black clothing |
including long frock coat. |
He hadn't even paid any board while at |
