 Of Sam I. King
 With Bad Checks
Bought Quantity of Hard ware First, Paid with Bad Check, Then Attempted to Cash Another.

Puzzled by the peculiar actions of Samuel T. King, a middle aged man who passed one bad check for sS2 in Bridgeport yesterday and attempted to pass another for s399.sO. the po- lice are today endeavoring to learn something of Kings past history and antecedents.
 King purchased $32 worth of hard ware and building supplies from the Hawley Hardware Company and paid for his purchase with a S32 check drawn on the First National Bank of New Haven He received no cash in tbiss transaction
 de secured a receipted bill from the hardware store and attempted to use this to bolster his scheme of passip E a check for sS93.S0 upon MaXimiliap Hancock Mutual Life Assurance coni- pany. All that he succeeded in doing was in borrowing $4 for which the check was held s security, and this sum he was forced to give up few moments later when the check was aScertained to be worthless.
 King was arrested by Patrolman Walker at the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue while about to board a trolley car for Stratford- He would say little this morning in de- fence of his actions. beyond tha fact that he wa5 drunk and didn't realize what he was doing.
 King gays that he has been actin 2 as a secretary for horse racing cont- missions. He says that his home is in Boston. The authorities are hold ing him for investigation, pending further light on his record.
