at the Norwalk Library. Tire librar-

a moat de htful evening for those

Greenwood's performance. He is an
enthusiast, and what he believes. he.
believes hard. Besides this invaluable
gift he has the balance-wheel of get

they cannot be controverted. His talk
was most successfully planned with.

.\i. lv'nupp. of the banking firm of

hands. pleaded guilty to twelve counts
in a court taint alleging fraud in con‘

t
net iitlll u it
cum. in in criminal superior court to-
day. and v ~ sentenced to jail for one
year.
There re 10.". counts against
Knapp. btl be others were boiled.
Knapp ‘is rears old.
The pri- 1 banking house of Hair
and Kit-pl lied on October ‘22. tall
bringing l s to depositors who had
”entrusted so >iho aggregate several
millions of dollars to the concern.
l’l‘fuat funds were found to be lost,
sick benefit funds of fraternal orders
’had been used by the firm, and hun-
dreds of families bcwailed Lte loss of
savings. The task of-dtsentangling
the affairs of the concern went on for
months with little headway accom-
‘plished. in April last state's Attorney
Homer S. Cummings, after receiving
numerous complaints from creditors
of the condition of things. began crim-
inal pros’ccution of Knapp on the
ground that there had been fraud in
transactions , immediately preceding
the act of bankruptcy. A special in‘
vcsti‘gator in Spotawood in the bowers
was named and when examination of
the concern‘s books was sought many
obstacles appeared. Finally a truck
load of books was found in a burn \
the adjoining towtt of Trumbull. Under
an order of the referee in bankruptcy
ithe trustee of the banking firm was
compelled to give up the books. They
have been scrutinized carefully by the
state‘s attorney anti his assistants
and the criminal charge of fraud
against Knapp was pressed, resulting in
the conviction today.
The failure of Burr and Knapp cre,‘
ated a sensation in Fairfield county
at the time owing not only to the
:prominence of the bank, but of tho
I hers i'n' social and financial cir-
i mem
lcies.
