A Much Wanted Man.
Superintendent OF insurance Jacobo
Chaves has made public the following
letter regarding an alleged insurance
ag-nt under arrest at Roswell, the let
ter being from the Missouri State Life
Insurance Company of st. Louis, Pres
ident Edmund P. Nelson signing it:
There are three separate charges of
forgery at Hillsboro, in this state.
There is one other charge, but the
man is temporarily away. After hay
ing his contract terminated here,
which was in the first place obtained
on the grossest misrepresentation, he
went to Illinois and collected on sew
eral policies, but failed to send in
any applications or money. He did
likewise in Des Moines, Iowa, and one
other city in that state. He had a
lady with him, and it seems is guilty
Of about everything on the calendar
We are certainly glad that you have
him at Roswell, but do not want to
miss him by any hook or crook when
ECU get through with him. In other
words, we do not want him to get out
day or two earlier than expected,
and escape the indictments which are
awaiting him in Missouri, Illinois and
Iowa. We will doubtless keep him
busy for few years to come He has
no license whatever to work in your
state, and never sent in an applica-
ton and evidently never intended to,
from there. We will keep in touch
with the authorities at Roswell, and
tring him over here where he will get
all that is coming to him.
All of which goes to show that it is
best when you do any insurance bust
ness with a stranger, scrutinize his
credentials first.
