N, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, SENT T0 JAIL FOR GIVING BAD CHECK | Southern Person Made Free With Store Keepers’ Goods The moss-grown excuse that the check was given to him by a fellow workman and he did not know that it Was “phony” did not save Alfonso Collins, alias John Williams, lately of North Carolina, in police court today, Judge James T. Meskill imposing fine of $50 and costs with six months in jail. In the characteristic drawl of the southland below the Mason and | Dixon line, Collins tried to explain that it was all a mistake, that he was a “honest-to-goodness Negro”, and meant no harm to the pocketbooks of trusting northern merchants. He was reticent when asked relative to the names and addresses of his companions who, also carrying a sup- ply of checks, descended upon New Britain Saturday. The first announcement that the police had of the visitors was when Mrs. Bessie Feingold of Lafayette street came to police headquarters Saturday afternoon to complain about some checks that she had taken in ex- change for goods and given a sub- stantial amount of change to the don- ors. She estimated that she was out about $50 and three pairs of rub- bers. According to her, Collins and three other Negroes, came to her store. All wanted rubbers and picked out stand- ard grade omes too. All had checks, made out on the New Britain Nation- al bank, for various amounts and signed with the name of George H. Baldwin, wood and coal dealer of Berlin. They told her that they were employed by Baldwin and he “had paid them off by check. But a short time had elapsed when Mr. Baldwin called up police headqugrters and not- ! itifled officials there that he had not issued the checks in question and had no Negroes working for him. The hunt was on and policemen on street beats were ordered to be on the look- out for the quartet of financiers. Policeman William Stroils arrested Collins. As he was taking him to a police box, the prisoner tried to lose another check. It fluttered to - the sidewalk without being noticed by Strolls. P. E. Durkin, who happened to be just behind, noticed it and turned it over to the authorities. A little later Harry Goldman, a clerk in Segal's store at 357 Main street, reported that two Negroes armed with checks had visited the store, picked out valuable overcoats and then presented the checks and wanted change. He was suspicious and turned to the telephone to call up and see if the picces of paper really represented money. While he was telephoning the customers took to their heels and vanished up Main street in the direction of the railroad crossing. Hartford Woman Fined. Mrs. Josephine DeMars of 105 Park street, Hartford, a waitress in the Pure Food restaurant in that city, was sentenced to thirty days in jail for in- toxication. Charges of street walking and improper conduct about the rail- road station early yesterday morning were dismissed. Josephine pleaded for a chance because of her children but her record was against her. said that she is twenty-six vears old, has six children, the oldest years. One of the witnesses said that she approached him and asked him to put her up for the night. “Sure I will”, he replied and called Police- man William Strolls, who acted as bell hop for her to a bunk at police head- quarters.

Benjamin Smith of 94 Henry street was fined $5 and costs for assault upon Saul Ellis of East and Henry streets. Smith did not think that Ellis should have acted as he did and contended that he struck him in self defense. He testified that he understood Ellis has been speaking about him in a manner that was not creditable to him and decided to find out about it. “I went up to him like a gentleman,” he explained, “and then had to hit him in self defense.” In making the com- plaint, Ellis said that the hard feel had resulted from his ordering Smith to discontinue his custom of keeping his daughter out on the Ellis veranda until lor 2 o'clock in the morning.
