William Mckay, haiIing from New
York state, and employed for time BY
Edward Stone in Williamstown, was in
Brookield Saturday morning and sue
ceeded in stealing q Brigham creamery
check for s99.s3 from the house Of Per-
ley Keyes, with whom the Brigham COM
pany leaves the checks for its BrOokheId
patrons.
The check, which was made out to Ar
thur Lamson Of Brookdeld, was taken by
the thief that very day to NorthfeId,
where he selected s25 worth of goods at
Frank Moriarty's store and was measured
for suit Of clothes on which he was to
make a IS deposit. In payment for his
bill OF $50, he present I'd the LAmson
check, all properly endorsed. and then, as
Mr.. Moriarty declined to Rccept 1t with
out the holder being identified, be went
to the Northfield creamery and stated his
difficulty to an employee Of the place, Mr..
GiIpin. The latter telephoned to the
Brigham creamery in Randolph and
learned that such q check, payable to Mr..
Lamson, had been issued. When the
matter came to the notice Of A. Z. Bry-
ant. proprietor Of the Mortified cream
cry, he looked at the check and, knowing
there was an Arthur Lamson in Brook
field, accepted McKay's impersonatioE of
Mr.. Lamson and added his guarantee to
the cheek.
Mr.. Moriarty was satisfied when the
paper had Mr.. Bryant's name on it and
took his pay for the $50 worth OF mer-
chandise, giving the bogus Mr.. Lamson
his personal check for the balance Of
f69.43. Mckay committed forgery a sec
ond time By endorsing Mr.. Lamson's
name on the Moriarty check, which DR..
J. II. Judkins cashed for him.
Having obtained possession Of the
goods and money, Mckay bought ticket
for Burlington and departed, leaving the
accommodating Mr.. Bryant to stand for
his guarantee on the first check to the
full amount OF $99.43. Shortly after Nc
Kay had gone, word was sent from the
Brigham creamery to stop payment on
the check issued to Arthur Lamson, for it
had been stolen, and the authorities be-
gan to hunt around for the slick operator
guilty Of two forgeries as well as grand
larceny.
States Attorney Stanley c. Wilson OF
Chelsea was in Randolph and Brookfeld
Tuesday. looking up the case, but decid-
ed that as all the transactions. except the
theft, took place in NOrthfeld, II be-
longed to the jurisdiction Of Washington
