"PIince's" Stay in Palmer

Springfield, Aug 9.-Harold G. Schwarm, alias Prince Louis Henri de | Chartereux, alias Dr. NJ. Harold E. Van Buren, Jr., or Dr, Mortimer P | Van Buren, met his match at Palmer, | miles from here, in 1918, when a pert, pretty little hotel waitress gave | him what in the vernacular might be referred to as the grand razzoo. pr. Van Buren, as he then called himself, although but IT years old, | sought to purchase revolver at a | Palmer hardware store but the wea- pon was never delivered to him. be- cause his desire to acquire it aroused the curiosity of Chief of Police T. J. Crimmins. Chief Crimmins inquired of the proprietor of the hotel where Van Buren was staying, learned that the youthful physician" had rendered worthless check in payment for board, and promptly placed him un- der arrest as a forger. Van Buren spent three months thereafter in the Hampden county jail here.
 Waitress Some BIuffer.
 Miss Beatrice Fitch, the waitress,
 
 and played the game with feminine vile which completely upset Van Bur ems own cleyerness, and was the cause of his temporary undong. She is now the wife Of a Boston travelling sales man.
 Dr. Van Buren arrived in Palmer In January of 1918 resplendentlv adorned in his inevitable spats, ostentatious at tire. and cane. He registered at the Burns hotel and said that he had come from the Middletown Insane hospital and was going to study as an interne at the state hospital near Palmer He poured the ears of the natives full of technical medical talk and grandiloquent scientific discus sion and was soon bowed at on the street as that young doctor who is studying at the hospital
 Entertainment Agreeable.
 As he meticulously nibbled his food in the hotel restauran he continually | g5 zed on the attractive Miss Fitch and | although his own wife was in New Britain he nevertheless conceived a | desire to marry the little waitress His plans went well for about 3 week. The \ young lady seemed quite agreeable | and willing to enjoy his company and ! entertainment 10 the utmost

other way than through the channel of huge profits in liquor can the au- thorities explain Schwarm's ability to maintain himself, his home and valet, as well as his pet animals, in a fash ion that indicated the presence of large sums of money.
 Sent From Wethersfield. Signed by King George alias Her man." the following letter places the police on the clue that Schwarm be- came a bootlegger and operated on wholesale scale:
 Wethersfield, Conn, (Not at the Jail) Hello Count, Prince or Duke: How is every little thing, including friend wife? Just arrived home today so thought you would like to come down and see melt will be to your advantage. If you come down I will probably go back to New York with you as I have left for North Caro- lima. .. Everything is going fine for me. Are you still fooling the public :? have cut it out and am now in a real respectable business-bootleg- ging!
 Give my regards to your wife and answer at onCe.'
 Wrote to Himself. Other disclosures yesterday were that the former local shophand at times travelled about under the pre- tense that he was the adopted son
 of John D. Rockefeller also. at times, that he was a direct descendant Of
 President Van Buren, He had also caused to be printed letter-heads of the First National bank of Boston, using his own name on the printed form as secretary of the banking house. He is believed to have writ ten himself many letters, mostly deal ing in matters of high finance, and these he exhibited to gullible per sons
 His latest wife, the fourth, was Lil- Han Nilkomerson, a nurse, whom he met while he was chef at Blackwell's Island. He is understood to be still living with her. Letters to his mother in this city indicated that they were saving money in hopes of accumulat- ing enough with which to purchase a chicken farm and settle down.
 Had Small Account Here
 Although he represented that he had large deposits in all banking houses with which he did business, F. g. Chamberlain of the New Britain National bank reports schwarm's checking account to have ranged be- tween s2 and s5 during 1918 and 1919
 Local acouaintances Of the bogus noblemen recall how. when he was employed at the Corbin Screw cor poration plant as an 'oil diver" at s12 a week. he distributed engraved cards, | with the following lettering: Harold Geo Carleton Schwarm, Esq.,
 "Corbin Screw Corporation,
 Manager, Checking Department"

FAMILY EATS CAKE
 AND ARE POISONED
Parents and Four Children Affected Arsenic is Believed to
 Be Cause.

New York, Aug. s.-Six persons have been poisoned and are seriously ill in their homes at Pittston, Pa, as a result of eating poisoned cakes said to have been purchased last Sun day from a store in 153d street, this lefty. The New York police are await ing letter from the Pittston police giving the minute details. An inves- tigation will be started this morning.
 A dispatch from Pittston last nig$t said that Romolo Testaguzza his wife and four children, who live at 43 Jen- lkins street, Pittston. have been pois- oned. Testaguzza left his home in Pittston last Saturday and came to New York to visit relatives. He passed the day with them and when he started home Sunday night he bought bag of cakes from a bak- cry in 153d street. He ate some of them on the way to Pittston and as soon as he got home he told his wife that he was Ill.,
 Not thinking the cakes had any thing to do with his illness, the rest of the family ate most of the cakes. F1 ''N JlOttis ldlel lllS Wllt dllu 1Ou1 children, who range in age from 2 to Il years. complained Of being H. 4 physician found them all on the floor and in bed moaning and ap- parently in great pain.
 Physicians said that most of the symptoms indicate arsenic poisoning. Arsenic in the dough at the Shel- buur restaurant in Broadway last week caused the death of six persons. Testaguzza and his wife appear to be the most seriously affected.
 Detectives were trying to learn last night whether any poison cases had been reported to hospitals in the upper part of the city. The informa- ton from Pittston. does not say whether the store is in East or West l53d street. That information is said to be contained in letter ex pected to arrive at Police, Feadquar- ters this morning.
