Officers Papers Praised in New
Jersey

PaperS prepared by orleans county
officials in the case of Wilfred A
Bailey, alias, Russell G. Bancroft, for
the extradition of Bailey from New
Jersey where he was apprehended by
the efforts of Vermont officials for a
misdemeanor in this state, received
special mention in the office of Gov
ernor Edwards of New Jersey last
week, when they were presented by
Sheriff Hill.
Mr.. Hill says:
81 went to New Jersey last week
with extradition papers in the case
State VS.. Bancroft and was told at
the office of the governor of New Jer-
sey that l had the best preuared pa
pers that had ever been presented to
that office.
''The papers were prepared by our
States Attorney Frank D. Thomp-
son."
1t appears that Bailey was wanted
by New Jersey itself for some kind
of crime Bailey had committed in
that state and there was some ques-
tion about that state giving him up,
but the clear case presented by States
Attorney Thompson Immediately re-
ceived recognition and Bailey was
given up and brought to Vermont
where he awaits trial in September
for a true count of misrepresentation
| found against him by the grand jury
of this county on July 8, which mis-
representation resulted in a consider
able loss to many Orleans county in
dividuals and business concerns.
Both Sheriff Hill and Mr.. Thomp-
son are to be congratulated upon
their work in this case which is one of
Importance and attracting attention
all over New England, because not
only Vermont and New Jersey wanted
Bailey, but his operations in the past
have extended to Maine, Massachu-
setts and New Hampshire and these
states have been after him. But Ver-
mont, through the efforts of Mr..
Thompson now has this famous
swindler within its care.
