George A. Andrews was held in 5000 for
his appearance before the grand Jury on a
charge of obtaining money under false pre-
fences, by Judge Swift of the irst district

defrauding two insurance companies in 1891
and sentenced by Judge Blodgett on Jan.
80, 1892. He was released from prison July
%, 1895, and but little was known OF him
since then until his arrest a few days ago.
