NORWICH MAN GETS
20 DAYS IN JAIL
Robert Arnold Was Panhandling at a
New London Hotel.

Panhandling at a New London hotel
and in the lobby of the post office
resulted in sentence of 20 days be-
ing melted out to Robert Arnold, who
claims Norwich as his homes when he
appeared before Judge Colt in the
New London police court Thursday
morning. Despite his denials that he
had accosted different citizens and ap-
pealed for 1.-The price of meal he
could not convince the court of the
truth of his statements.
After Arthur RelouX. a porter, had
testified to being accosted by Arnold
and solicited for funds to purchase
a meal the accused told his story in
which he declared that the testimony
of the porter was preposterous, in the
fact that he was supplied with suffi-
cient to buy, his own meals.
Then Judge Colt queried as to
whether or not the accused recalled
accosting him in the post office about
half an hour before. Arnold replied
in the negative.
Accused said he went to New Lon
don Tuesday afternoon to look for
work. He stayed at rs cent lodg-
ing house in Bank street Wednesday
night and visited the Ship and En-
CINE Co.. in quest of employment on
Thursday morning. He was, unsuc-
cessful and returning to the city went
to the Croker house where he ap-
piled to fill a vacancy in the kitchen.
He had not reached the kitchen, when
he was arrested by Patrolman How

COUNTERFEIT BILLS
ARE IN CIRCULATION.
One is Clever Imitation of Federal
Reserve Bank Note.

Two counterfeit SIS bills are reported
in circulation in various parts of the
state, and local merchants are warned
to be on the alert. One of the counter
feits is a clever imitation of the Fed
eraI Reserve bank note and the other,
which is mere easily detected, because
of its being a poor specimen. is q sill
yer certificate of the series of 1899.
The Federal Reserve note bears the
check letter d. plate number 5; and
the signature of w. g. McAdoo, secre-
tary Of the treasury, and john Burke
treasurer of the United States, and
has the portrait of Lincoln. Appar-
entity the counterfeit is printed from
photo photographic plates on good bond
paper on which red and blue lines are
made to represent the silk threads Of
the original At first glance the hill
is very deceptive.
The silver certificate bears the
check letter D. place number either
807 0r 207. and bears the signature of
Gahe E. Parker, register of the treas
ury and John Burke. treasurer Of the
United States. II is printed from
etched plates on ono piece Of paper.
The silk threads of the genuine are
initiated by printed lines, black on the
face and green on the back of the
note. The figures of the numbers are
too large and poorly formed.

The historic background of the
events from about 1913 to 165 B. c.

that the pure light of religion finds
