Stratford Nov. 6s-The people of Stratford are warned against a Wo- man who claims she is a member of the Congregational church who has been going around soliciting money, food and clothing from different houses by using the name of Mrs. Frank Sammis of Academy Hill as a reference. This practice has been go- ing on for the past month She was finally apprehended yesterday when she asked a certain family on Strat- ford avenue for clothing and money, telling them she had three children to support, her husband having recently deserted her. The lady of the house whose name Mrs Sammis refuses to divulge teIephoned Mrs. Sammis, who in turn sent Constable Barnum to the home. The constable brought the wo- man before Mrs. Sam1nis. Mrs Sam n1is informed the woman if there was a recurrence of the like nature she would have the woman prosecuted. It has been found out that the woman has no children and that her husband has not deserted her but is working in a factory in Bridgeport drawing good wages. Mrs. Sammis wishes to have published that if any one desires to give clothing or money to the poor, they will please send it to the asso- cia.ted charities or to the first select man at the town hall
