AWAITING TRIAL IN VERMONT.
Wilfred Bailey, Stock Promoter, Now
Held at Newport.

Newport, July l6.-Wilfred Bailey,
stock promoter, formerly active in
Massachusetts and Vermont, who was
arrested recently in Jersey City, was
brought here yesterday to answer to an
indictment charging him with obtain
ing $4,000 under false pretense from
the Newport National bank. He was
taken to jail pending arrangement
Bailey declared to officers that there
was no fraud connected with the girls
camp, to finance which he obtained
money from the local bank and from
individuals.
He was surrendered to the authori.
ties of Vermont Wednesday by JUS
tice Swayze of the supreme court.
Justice Swayzes decision to deliver
Bailey to the Vermont sheriff deter
mined the question of the governors
process instituted in the New York
and New Jersey courts after Vermont
voted an Indictment against him. Bal.
ley is thus given into the custody OF
the Vermont officers for trial on a pre-
yious indictment and New York and
New Jersey officers will have To await
disposition of the case in Vermont.
in stock
Bailey was a genuine "highhyer" in
stock promotions. Street railways, ho-
tells telephone systems, girls camps
and numerous other projects which he
promoted proved attractive bait for
college professors, bankers, and in
vestors, and il is estimated that Bal
ley made more than million dollars
in ventures which collapsed and in
which the shareholders lost their en-
tire investments.
The former kings marital troubles
excited widespread interest and after
he was divorced he married Welles
ley and Brookline girl of high station.
Bailey is now held for trial for de-
frauding the Newport National bank
by means of valueless securities. II
is charged that he induced the bank
to advance $4,000 on girls camp
proposition which became insolvent
when Bailey collected all the stock
premiums and failed to pay the bills
of the company.
His arrest in Jersey City nearly
three weeks ago was the end Of a
country wide chase by Boston detcc-
tives. Mr.. Brown, superintendent Of
the James r. Wood detective agency
at Boston, as state detective, located
Bailey.
Brown found Bailey and arrested
him on a fugitive warrant which the
New Jersey courts issued on informa
ton filed by Attorney General Frank
c. Archibald and States Attorney +.

officers.
