,CASE AGAlN CONTINUED Chief Inspector Lahey of New York | Sends Long Record of Criminal | Acts Believed Committed by
 Aaronson - Extradition Hearing. Counsel for Arthur Aaronson, who is held by the local police in default of S40,000 bonds for the authorities of Newport News, Va, who hold a warrant for him in connection with a $5,000 bank swindle, this morning unmasked him, Attorney Thomas F. McDonough informing Judge w. c. Hungerford in police court that al- though his client had registered at a local hotel as Benjamin Sachs and was booked" by the police under that name, he had in fact merely assumed it.
 ''At this time, would like to make statement. Your Honor,' Attorney McDonough said when Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. M. Green stein asked that Aaronsons case be continued until tomorrow morning. After conference yesterday with this mans wife and his New York attorney, and with the prisoner him. self this morning. I want to say his | name is not Sachs and never was Sachs. He was booked downstairs as Sachs and was registered at the hotel as Sachs," to which Judge Hungerford smilingly rejoined, l with apologies to the local attor- ney," meaning Attorney Morris D. Saxe of this city, the pronunciation ! of whose name is identical to that Of Aaronson's assumed name.
 Will Fight Extradition. Attorney McDonough stated after court that he and Attorney Benja- min Sander of New York were in conference in the latter's office yes- terday, and both will be present at the hearing tomorrow afternoon at Governor Trumbulls office at the state capitol, Hartford, to fight eX- tradition to Virginia. During the conference Attorney Sander told Att torney McDonough to lose no time admitting the falsity of the name Aaronson had given. The New York | attorney was quite concerned over the possible injury or embarrassment to Attorney Sake through the use by Aaronson of a name so similar to his. Attorney McDonough said he merely told Aaronson this morning before court that he and Attorney Sander are satisfied that Sachs is an alias and would not be used again in the case, to which Aaronson made no reply, his attorney said.
 Wanted by New York Police
 Chief Hart this morning received the following communication from Chief Inspector M. J. Lahey of the New York police department: Re plying to your letter of the Fist in- stant, relative to one Arthur Aaron son, alias Benjamin Sachs, beg to enclose herewith criminal record; also to advise that Aaronson is wanted here for grand larceny and violation of parole. Will advise you further in a few days"
 The record which is on file with the New York police Is in the name of Aaron Aronowtz, alias Andrew Rosenwald, and William Greenbaum, and contains the following entries: Aaron Aronowitz, November 24. 1919, Bangor. Me, forgery, no final disposition; Aaron Aronowitz, 1920, Santa Barbara, Ca., worthless checks, 1S months San Quentin pri- son: Aaron Aronowitz, June 2S, 1923, New York city, grand larceny, sen tence suspended by Judge Grain, general sessions; Andrew Rosenwald, April z, 1922n Cleveland, Ohio, worthless checks, one year to twenty years Ohio state penitentiary crimi- nal court; William Greenbaum. October II. 1923, Montreal, Canada, bogus checks, no final disposition.
 Fingerprints Match
 1nasmuch as the finger prints talk en of Aaronson here match those of the man who has this record, Chief Hart said there can be no doubt that the prisoner is a notorious swindler. The entries which note that no final disposition of cases was made. probably mean that the pri- soner forfeited his bond, the police say.
 In this mornings mail came let ter from Chief Alex West of the | Charlotte, N. c. police, as follows: Enclose warrant Herbert Grossman, alias Nathan Lowenthal, for false pretences. Getting acquisition papers for return" The warrant charges that w. c. Wilkinson was swindled out of $500 on or about January 3, 1927, by use of bogus check.
 In case Governor Trumbull rules against Aaronson, tomorrow on the extradition fight Attorney McDon- ough will go to Virginia and aid in the defense there.
