FALSE PRETENSES Wisconsin Man Placed on Pro- bation by Judge Griswold FIRE DISTRICT ~MEETING Kensington People Will Decide Fate Of The Water Question — Special Town Meeting—Selectmen's Gath- ering Postponed—Briefs. John Wolfing, who says that his home is in Wisconsin, appeared be- fore Judge Griswold in the court on Saturday afternoon on a charge of ob- taining money under false pretenses. The money was secured from Am- brose A. Barrett, postmaster at Ber- in. Wolfing has recently completed serving 139 days in various jails throughout the state on similar charges. He served time at the Windham county jail in Brooklyn and at the Fairfield ‘county jail. He was given a 90 day jail sen- tence by Judge Griswold but this was suspended and he was placed on pro- bation. The story as told by Wolfing was that while coming east on a train he saw the wallet and check book of a passenger which was left on the seat of a coach. He took the wallet and check book and made use of both. He admitted having passed one of the checks on Postmaster Barrett on October 26 of last year. Wolfing aiso stated that he has passed 10 such checks coming into possession of the check book. It was found that the man has no home or no parents and Judge Gris wold stated that he was about 40 years of age. ‘Wasso On Probation.
