entertained during negotiations. and in due time seeks an introduction to a local bank.
 Then he opens an account, mak- ing an initial deposit with bogus cashiers check, for a fairly large sum drawn on an out of town bank. At the same time he presents sim- liar check for s1,000 or more and requests this amount for deposit in the deal or for ready cash. If he is successful in securing an advance it will likely be due to the anxiety of the vendor of the property to close the deal
 Denies Making Confession
 A denial that he ever made confession to the police was made last night by Aaronson, held here under S25.000 bail as a fugitive from justice. Aaronson is wanted in Newport News, Va., charged with defrauding a bank there out of s5,000.
 According to the police, Sergeant McCue last Saturday locked himself in cell with the prisoner for 45 minutes, and when he left had an admission from the latter that he was the man wanted in Virginia.
 Denial that any confession or admission of this character ever was made to the police, was made last evening by Attorney Thomas r. McDonough. associate counsel. MT. McDonough is associated with Attorney Bernard Sander. of 150 Broadway, New York, in Aaronson's defense, Attorney Morris D. Sake having withdrawn from the case. Mr. Sander is said to have been counsel for Lieutenant Becker, the New York police lieutenant who was convicted several years ago for mur- der.
 Mir. McDonough has achieved a reputation in New Britain as the at- torney who has "gone to the mat" several times with the police depart ment on third degree methods said to be used sometimes in extracting confessions. T think it only fair to say that no such methods have been used on Aaronson and that Sergeant McCue has treated him like q gentleman" Mr. McDonough stated.
 Whether the alleged confession, now denied, had anything to do with Chief of Police Hart's refusal to permit reporters to interview the prisoner, in order to corroborate the report, or with his subsequent order that no one in the department was to give any information to news- papers except that which comes through his office, is not known.
 My client had nothing to do with the Virginia case and the report given to the newspapers is all wrong" Mr. McDonough stated.
 Will Fight EXtradition
 Aaronson will fight extradition and Chief Hart has been notified not to permit anyone arriving here with extradition papers to take the man away. If necessary hearing will be demanded before Governor John H. Trumbull on the question of ex- tradition.
 The prisoners wife arrived in the city yesterday after unsuccess- fully attempting to raise the s25,- 900 bail in New York.
 According to the police the man has been convicted before on charges of a similar nature to that made by the Newport News police. He is said to have been arrested on suspicion in New York in 1920 Silver in Santa Barbara, California, the same year and to have been sentenced to from one to 14 years in San Quentin prison. The charge at that time is said to have been that of issuing fictitious checks.
 In 1922, according to the police. as Aaron Aaronowitz he was arrest ed in Cleveland, O., on the same charge, but no disposition was made of his case. This was in March. On April II of the same year, the report says, he was con- victed in Columbus, O., of forgery and was sentenced from one to 20 years in the Ohio state peniten- tiary.
 Claims Name Is Sachs
 The man being held here is not Arthur Aaronson. but is Benjamin Sachs, the name he originally in- troduced himself by, according to MT. McDonough and he has never
