as "Salem is so easy, you can pick
them in an hoar." the arrest must
be a mistake. A splendid . array
of silks and other valuable mer
chandise awaits an explanation at
the police station, where Zuker
man's trunk was brought bark
from on the road to San Francis

for $50, and the insurance re
cept gave him away.
Chief of Police Moffitt desires
to commend the action of Frank

who so promptly reported the
bogus check and made it possible
to arrest Zukerman before he
could leave town. It has been a
practice. Chief Moffitt says, for
dealers who might be in doubt
about some of these unidentified
checks, to wait until after store
hours to take the time to report
to the police; by which time the
bad-actors might be many miles
away, and safe as if they were
honest men at borne. It was the
quick reporting of the Zukerman
check that led to the capture of
a man who is believed to be the
big-timer they've all been looking
ror.
William Patterson, arrested on
Friday for passing two aliened
bogus checks for $12.50 each, is
also to be turned over to the Port
land authorities on the same
charge. He is said to have dis
tributed a number of such spuri
ous papers around Portland. Pat
terson is rated by the officers -as
an amateur in crime.
