Harry Shapiro, long a. resident

iis alleged ta. have been involv-
ed in sensational check forgeries
3 involving thousands of dollars, has

‘ Shapiro was removed from the

ing. He was arrested in a New
.York bank, last. October, by a de-
tective of the American Bankers'

have been forged. He was held for
trial in hail of $10,000.
His business and social relations
in this city were thoroughly in-
vestigated several weeks ago by
Detoeive Sergeant. Thomas Hunt,
who discovered he had made a.
large deposit. in a bank here at a.
time when he was suspected 'of
cashing a forged check. Two auto-
mobiles, owned by him, and held
in a. local garage, were released
early this week and driven to New

covered a. period of four years.
He first started operations .in
Bridgeport, during 1916, it is sud.
Next he was heard from in Octo-
ber, 1918, when, it is claimed, he
represented himself as a disinond
broker, obtaining checks, the do— .
tective agency asserts, by stadhng
them from the mails, and forging
signatures. ‘.
He started operations on a
larger scale this year. Allegations
were made that he pilfered a
check for $7,650 from a mail—box.
forged it, and successfully cashed
it. After that, he is credited with
defrauding three diamond dealers
in rassaic, N. J.
On October 9, of this year, he
entered a New York bank with a.
$1,000 check. Through the ac-
tivities of the American Bankers”
Association’s Operatives, the
cashier was enabled to recognize
Shapiro, and he was held at the
paying window on a pretense un-
til a. telephone message could be
sent to detectives, who placed him
