The check was presented at the Worcester truat company's bank yesterday by the First national bank of Boston and was immediately returned Yesterday noon the Boston firm learned that the check was a forgery, and son the brokers realized that they bad been swindled by a man who had perpetrated two similar thefts by gaining the confidence of Boston bond dealers. In six years this swindler has obtained bonds to the value of approximately by means of his convincing address and an apparently certified check. In 1902 he secured $18,540 in bonds from N. W.

The island of Grand Turk, on which the town is located, Is one mile wide and five and a half miles long. The four Turks Islands have a population of probably lss than 2000. The islands are all barren rocks, producing nothing but salt, which for generations has been shipped to America in great quantities. The inhabitants are largely black and generally very poor, their labor being mainly directed to the production of salt. All their supplies are necessarily imported, as nothing grows on the islands.

Grand Turk lies Just north of Santo Domingo, though it comes under the governmental Jurisdiction of Jamaica, which is scores of mfles to the southwest. PATROLMAN GOLDEN OUT. THE WEATHER. Continued on the Knurlk Ihh. Real Estate Business Brisk in offlceB that advertiso liberally In the Globe.

Mr Parker wanted to buy some bonds, he said, for an investment; unregistered, coupon bonds. He knew the bond market thoroughly; in fact, he appeared to be as well informed as the broker.

He was, moreover, shrewd enough to defy suspicion as to his being a bona fide purchaser, for he proposed to take only such securities as could be readily marketed If necessary. He preferred railroad bonds of the standard lines, and in the conversation the prospective customer showed that he knew just the issues that would appeal to the prudent investor who was averse to speculation. "Parker" and the banker discussed the values of the bonds of the Harri-man lines, of some of the southern roads and of the New York Central. He did not care much for industrials, the inquirer said, except perhaps American Tobacco. "Parker" had a good deal to say about his business in Worcester, where he said he had been established only a few months, and he remarked that he was patronizing most of the banks there.

When he was ready to go he said he would see how much he could invest and later notify the firm of the particular securities he wished. He left behind him the impression of a responsible business man and the banker thought he would soon make a profitable sale. Continued on the Second Page. Charged with neglect of duty.

He is so clever that though police departments of the large cities of the east and a private detective agency have been since 1902 endeavoring to apprehend him, his identity is still a mystery and his connections unknown. The police have never known where to look for him, though twice in New York he narrowly escaped arrest while endeavoring to negotiate stolen bonds. The evidence from the descriptions given and the similarity of handwriting is ample to show that the author of this latest successful bond robbery is the skilful perpetrator of the other two.
