Hinsdale was treated to an impromptu
entertainment last Wednesday, which was
not on the bills A young man appeared
in town claiming to be DIR. j. NJ. SWEET,
and that he was about to open an Office at
Ashuelot. He succeeded in passing checks
bearing the name of II. II. Pratt, a dealer
in Ashuelot, amounting in all to S1SI10.
These checks were taken by j. II. Wealth
erbee, G.. S. Howe, Newton Stearns, and
Taylor IL Stebbins. some goods, and a
cash balance Of S97. As being given for
the checks. The doctor" then proceed
ed to the station intending to 90 on
his way rejoicing. Meanwhile Mr.. Stearns
took his checks to Fuller's store to be
cashed, and this is where the plans of
the doctor" failed. Mr.. Fuller formerly
worked for several years for Mr.. Pratt, and
at once recognized that there was some
thing wrong about the signature. Mr..
Pratt was called to the telephone, and he
sent back word to look out for the man.
At the same time it was found that others
held similar checks.
Policeman Hines was secured, and tn =
party proceeded 10 Jne station, Wnere
they arrived just in time to get their man.
On the way back he broke away, but in
the darkness ran into corner and was
again nabbed. The doctor" spent We'd
nesday night in the rooms under the engine
house. Thursday morning he appeared be-
fore Justice Horton, and pleading guilty,
was committed to the Keene Jail in de-
fault of bonds amounting to $500 each for
two counts. His case will come up at the
April term of court at keene.
In an interview the prisoner stated that
his name was +. b. Chase, and that his
home was in East Farlee, Vt. He is an
athletic-built man, so years old, clean
shaven, and weighing about 10 pounds.
He said this was the first time he had ever
been in any such trouble, and his actions
seemed to verify his statement. He gave
no excuse except that he had been hard up
To- money and could not resist the tempta-
ton. He left East Fairlee last Monday
and intended to proceed from here to Bos
ton, where he hoped to get work. He said
his own disgrace troubled him less than
his mothers distress when she should hear
of it.. The people here seem to feel good
deal of pity for him and his parents es-
pecially, although it is conceded that he
should suffer for his crime.
