When the Boston Photo company
silently drifted out of town a few weeks
. ago utters precarious existence. L. M.
Beach. a young man who had been in
the employ of the company. remained
behind, ostensibly to get out a souvenir
for the Roton Point Improvement com-
W!-
He was an affable youth. with a good
deal of self-assurance. and during his
stay in town made many acquaintances.
among them Wallace McQuhae. the
oyster shipper of Water street. Beach
frequently went down to the dock.
made himself at home about the allies,
went out sailing with Mr. MeQuhae. and
need his boats at pleasure.
Last night two forged checks on the
First NationalBank of South Norwalk.
each for ten dollars. made payable to the
order chJl. Beach, andsignedby a'
good imitation of Mr. McQuhae’s signa-
ture. turned up. One had been cashed
by Francis 8: 00.. the clothiers. where
Beach bought an outing shirt lDt Satnr~
day night. giving the check in payment
and receiving the change. after being
identified by Landlord Shepard. of the
Old Well Hotel. where he had been
boarding. The other check was cashed
by Donovan dz 00., the same night.
Six blank checks are missing from the
hack of Mr. McQuhae's check-hook.
They were undoubtedly stolen by Beach
last Saturday while he was loitering
about the office. The 'stub of the last
check Mr. McQuhae had need was dated
July 26, and the number of it was 205.
The forged checks were numbered 200
and 207. and both were dated July 24
Beach had evidently made himself fs~
miliar with Mr. McQuhae’e signature
and knew the drawer where he kept his
checkbook.
Last night A. D. Hum, who has
been employed by the cement]: met
Mr. hichhse on the street and inquired
if he had seen anything of Beach for the
past day or two. Receiving a negative
reply Mr. Buzzard suggested that they
go to the Old Well Hotel and see if he
was there. Here Mr. McQuhee learned
about the check Beach passed at Francis
& Cole, and that he had not been seen
about the hotel since Monday. An ex-
amination of his room showed that he
had gone. bag and baggage. owing a
week's board bill.
The police were notified of the forger-
ies. and sent out a description of Beach.
It was learned that he went east. and it
is believed that he will eventually be
captured.
Francis dz Go. and Donovan dc Co.
have made good to Mr. McQuhae the
amount of the forged checks, and the
bank is on the lookout for other checks
which it is feared Beach has passed.

Edgar Bonghton. who has occupied
the position of caretaker of the South

place behind the bars of cell No.» 1 last

ranch. He first said that he took the
umbrella to the lockup. where someone
stole it from him. but he afterward

better of his judgment. and that he took
the umbrella and exchanged it'for a
glass of beer.
in the Town Court. this morning, the
charge of theft was not pressed. but
Judge Frost sentenced Edgar to jail for
sixty days for heingacommon drunk-
