! letter came back to Fred with the blank
note filled out and Lyons and Harry Gil
mans name signed. About the 4th of
/ October Lyon planned to go to Lynn,
Mass. He visited at Sheffield and was to
! take the train at Lyndonville. Mean
| while Mr.. Whitcher had seen Harry Gil
man and learned that be had never signed
! a note with Lyon. AS Lyon starting
! from Sheffield for Lyndonville depot, Of
/ ficer Grow of this place intercepted him
! and called his attention to Whitcher's bill,
! which Lyon settled. 1t appears that pre-
/ vious to this Lyon presented two notes at
/ the Barton banks, one for 500 and one for
$500. These notes purported to be sign
ed by L. A. Lyon, Harry Gilman and
/ Charley Atkins. 1t appears that the first
! note became due and was protested. The
I parties whose names appeared on the note
were notified, and they, Atkins and Gil
man, protested, declaring they never
| signed them. The report is that the next
day funds were sent by Lyon to take up
the note that was due, and later that the
bank was secured on the S100 note. II. F.
Graham of Craftsbury, states attorney,
and w. W. Miles of this place had the
!
have the matter in charge.
