Alleged Accovlplice in sIne

Students Among Victims

Joseph Rich, of 43 Lewis Street
Newark, disabled soldier receiving
vocational training at the Newark Col
lege of Technology, was arrested in
that city yesterday, charged with the
theft of checks addressed 30 other dis
abled veterans, whose signatures he

stolen since July, 1920, when Rich is
SAID to have started operations and
that. Rich admits stealing twenty
eight. lsidor Miller, Of 2i0 Wavcriy
Avenue, Newark, who is alleged to
have been Richs acomplice, was ar
rested Saturday,
When he first began collecting his
easy money Rich is said to have gone
to the head OF the college he attends,
who distributed many Of the checks
and given the name Of another disabled
soldier in order to obtain his check.
Later he is said to have improved
upon this somewhat risky procedure by
lounging around the office of the Fed
eral Board OF Vocational Training in
the City Hall annex until he got an
opportunity to steal one or more from
the bundle of envelopes addressed to
disabled soldiers. According to the
police, Rich said that he always could
tell which envelopes to take because
the checks always were fastened to The
accompanying notice with a paper clip,
which could be felt through the envc-
lope.
Miller's part in the scheme was said
to consists Of helping to cash The
checks. The police say that both men
started checking accounts at a Newark
bank in order to facilitate their bust
ness. Victims OF the check thieves
t2-o complained that ineficiency on
the part OF the vocational training
board enabled the thieves to cash the
checks without question: None of the
stolen and forged checks are said to
have been detected and returned.
Miller's arrest followed his visit to
a clothing shop where he paid for a
S225 suit Of clothes with a govern
ment check for $40. After receiving
his check he told the clothier he would
send boy for the suit and departed.
Later the clothier remembered that
many War Department checks were
said to have been stolen and when the
DO called for the suit he was followed
to Miller's home where the arrest was
made.
