Two chaps claiming to represent the
Crone Mail Order House, large clothing
concern of Boston, have circulated
through the rural districts of this part OF
the county for few weeks, taking orders
for suits Of clothes. Their scheme was to
show fine specimens of cloth which they
said they would furnish in suits at S12
apiece. Measurements were taken, and
percentage paid down; in nearly every
case the amount was not over the law
limit in such cases of $5; but a few
began to smell rat after time and wrote
to Boston chief Of police to investigate
this purported large clothing house,
which was done, and reported fraud;
there being but dingy little office at that
street number presided over by a spinster
typewriter, her principal business being to
receive the money these agents sent in and
keep the victims off the scent for time by
understanding letters. A Jealous local
officer took the matter in hand and after
thorough search found few parties who
had advanced over $5 to these agents,
which laid them liable to arrest, and they
were apprehended Thursday and lodged in
Jail to await further developments.
