The gold brick story circulated in con
nection with the name of A. L. Bailey
president of st. Johnsbury bank, was un
true so far as it represented him as being

ment. The man victimized was Andrew
1. Bailey, Canadian, who met A. L. Bale,
en- route to Washington, tried to claim rela
tionship, and induced President Bailey t,
go with him to the treasury department
} A. L. Bailey's trip to Washington wa
purely of business nature. The state
ment that the Citizens savings bank wa
J involved in any way in the swindle is un
! true.
