The GuIlrord surgical operation,

The surgical operation in an adjoining town,
to which reference was made in The Phoenix of
last week. was performed Thursday morning at
the house of Edward Carpenter in the village of
Guilford. A glib and well appearing stranger
appeared at the house, representing himself TO be
oculist from Boston hospital who had been
sent there by DR.. Conland to examine the eyes of
Mrs. j. T. Noyes, sister of Mr. Carpenter, who
lives with him. The examination" showed the
presence Of an alleged cataract, which would
cause blindness II not removed. An operation"
was then proceeded with. Some fluid, probably
cocaine, was put in the eye, manipulation follow
ed and a prentended substance was removed, sup
posed to be the cataract. The operation" over,
the price for the service was mentioned and $l25
was named. This seemed rather large and the
visitor proposed to call il an even $780, Mr., Car
penteI gave check for the amount made to
"bearer" at the suggestion OF the visitor who
gave the name of johnson, and he speedily took
his departure. Mr.. Carpenter soon began to have
some misgivings in the matter, and drove out to
Brattleboro to see DR.. Conland, but without find
ing him. Inquiry at the Vermont national bank
showed that the check had been cashed with en-
dorsement of NJ. Altman. A man who registered
as NJ. Altman came to the Brooks House Wednes-
day He had a livery team to go to IIinsdae that
day, and Thursday morning he had one TO go 10
Guilford, returning and paying his bill about
noon.
The trick is an old one and has recently been
worked in one or more towns down the river
Before going 10 Mr.. Carpenters the man visited
one or more places in Guilford and made inquiries
about the family and their pecunary condition
1t is evident that the case had been carefully
looked up, and the fact that two members of Mrs
Noyes's family have suffered from cataract wa
there is no trouble of this kind with Mrs Noyes
