rendered by Johnson's
Chum to Webster Persons

Webster Nov. 23.-Another chapter
has been opened in the bunco brass
ring game, and as a consequence Chas.
c. Vayo of Il Tyler street, Worcester,
is languishing behind the bars in the
local lookup. He is charged with false
pretence. The arrest WAS made by
Officer Joseph p. Love. Vayo came to
town and attempted to get Johnson,
one of his potato dispensers, out of
the trouble he had got into by selling
1S-karat gold ring limitations. but in
stead he himself landed in the lock-
up.
Last summer Vayo came to Web
Ster with others to sell potatoes and
fruits. He took his boardings at the
Dumas House. Now Mr.. and Mrs. Du-
mas had pretty daughter Of tender
years, and naturally VayO became in
fatuated with her. With the pretty
lass it was love at first sight AS a Sc
quel to their love making, Mr.. Vayo
and Miss Dumas were married at the
Sacred Heart Church.
Possibly and most probably business
of financial gain nature did not re-
spond, and when Vayo attempted to
settle his bills, he found he did not have
the ready cash. He commenced to pass
out checks, and many got caught. He
even bought his wife's trosseau with
one of these worthless checks, and had
the audacity to offer Rev. FIR. ]. A.
Legris the priest who tied the nuptial
knot, similar check, but his reverence
couldn't see it, and demanded the
money.
In order to get out of town, Vayc
passed another worthless on
Louis e. Clairmont, the local agent FOL
the Fitchburg railroad to Canada. The
fare came to S21.30 and the prisoner
gave Agent ClairmOnt a check for the
same. Nayo and his bride then took
the train for a wedding trip to Canada,
When the local agent went to cash
the check at the bank. it was founC
that Nayo had only a solitary dollar
there. Then there was fun but Vayc
eluded capture until he came to Web.
