The name of Frank saur11 one of the owners of the prop 5artv purported to be mortgaged, was also forged during the deal, 1t is charged.
 According to the story that has set fhe town of Fairfield by the ears. Attorney King, sorneHfime ago. sought a, loan of $1s7Oo from the Ridgehe1d Savings Bank.

formed one of the bases for his com lpIaint to the states attorney.
 Saun s name, as well that of Justice Bacon Wakeman appeared on the supposed mortgage. the latter as attorney in the transfer. It is all legged that both signatures are for geries.
 Following the banks acceptance of the paper as security, everything went smoothly for time. It is said that interest payments were made and the bank believed the security valid.
 Then came the Ridgehe1d Congre- gationa1 church, seeking to investasur- plus funds in realty securities. The mortgage presented by Attorney King, was offered by the bank as one of a group of preferred investments.
 The church society forHarded the supposed deed to the town clerks of flee in Fairfield, asking that a record be made of the transfer of the debt to the church as creditor.
 Then came the explosion that has shaken Fairfield to it's very founda- tions.
 Town Clerk Flint could find no rec ord of the deed in his books. He wrote to RidgeheId asking the bank for further information. His letter brought bank official to Fairfield. Then it was discovered that MT. FInt's name had been affixed to- the paper without his knowledge.
