NOVEL SWINDLE CHA RCE

"WhoIesaIc Grocer's" Redi Wdres.

What is alleged to be an eXceptlohdliy us
swindle was unearthed by City Marshal Lee oi
Yonkers when he levied on the stock OF feilIs
Lind who has been running so-called "hoie

The store was apparently well stocked, out aii

Lind came TO Yonkers early last summer ana

tended to run first class Wholesale grocery
establishment To obtain credit he applied 10

r7ent to them that he was worth some Sl9cH
in real and personal property, with outstanding
assets of about 81 800, and through giving as
reference his former employer, : NJ. BARBER VI
this city who spoke highly of him, he OBTAINED
a place in their ratings. The agency sent
man to Yonkers to inspect his store, ano, as lle
agent found that Lind had apparently we'll

risk for tobbers Lind did big business until
last month when he sent a large order to l. W.
Carr & Co wholesale johbers in this city,
An investigation by Carr & Co. revealed that
Lind was receiving goods by boat and i'm
mediateIy shipping them back to NeW-1ork ny
rail Feeling that things were wrong Carr q
co placed their claim for $4,000 in Yonkers
attorneys hands for collection and got an attach
ment on the goods in he store. The marshal put
locks on the doors of the place and put man
on guard. When Lind returned to the store ana
found what had been done he MADE many
threats. At a conference between Lind ana
Carr's attorneys Lind promised to hquidate MS
Indebtedness at the rate OF 500 a week. Moth
ing therefore. was broken open then 1t was
also agreed to remove the attachments when
the first instalment was paid on SATURDAY
Early Saturday morning Lind begged to be al
lowed until Monday to pay the 500 and it was
allowed him. but when Monday came he was
to be found.
Yesterday Marshal Lee started to look over
the stock preparatory to making an inventory
The first box he opened was filled with saWdust.
A butter tub had one-inCh layer of butter on
top of a tub of earth. Similar discoveries were
made, and the only real stuffs found were seF-
eral small size cases of cocodnuts,
A conservative estimate placed the outstand-
ing claims against Lind for goods sold and de-
livered TO be more than $4,000 More firms, it
is thought, will be heard from.
