Passed Worthless Checks.

&. Howard Bartlett, at one time em-
ployed at the peach orchard of Barnes
Brothers in Woodstock, is wanted by
the police of several small New Eng
land cities where he has succeeded In
passing checks drawn on the First Ma
tional bank of this city in which insti-
tuition no funds are to his credit The
man did open an account while In
Woodstock but II was a small one and
soon drawn. This enabled him to be-
come possessed Of check book, how
ever, which he continues to use to his
own advantage but TO the detriment Of
those who put faith in him.
Bartlett has been operating in Law
renee and Lowell, Mass. In the for
mer city he represented himself a. In
charge of agents for . breakfast food
company. He rendered q cheek for
board in advance and received change
back. He boarded with his victim .
day or two and left before IL was found
the check WIS worthless. This was
his game in other places. The last tale
OF woe comes from Pawtucket where
the man began operations as In other
places but apparently encouraged by
his success began TO expand Ia imagin-
alton. His victim in that place has
written TO q. Harold Cilpatfic, cashier
OF the Putnam National bank, but as
master of the local lodge Of Masons,
rather than as bank cashier, TO learn
what value was to be attached TO Bart
let's claim that he was we'll known in
business circles In Putnam, where he
had lived for half dozen years; that
he was high In the Masonic order as
he was also in the Knights of Pythias
and Odd Fellows. He told the wom-
an that he was at one time asked 10 be
a candidate for mayor in this city;
also that he was friend Of George T..
Shaw, Jerome TourtelIo.te, ed"
Mansfield and others. He said he had
an uncle In Woodstock. Incidentally
Bartlett borrowed some of the womsn's
money auntil . cheek he was expect
ing should arrive. The check never
came but Bartlett disappeared.
