Conviction Details in Chelsea Mail Fraud Scheme
Barish testified in a Boston trial that William Alken and co conspirators from H. Goldsmith & Co. pursued a 75 000 swindle using mail fraud. The six arrested last December faced conspiracy charges, with Alken and Harris Barish as central figures while two co defendants were excused after fire losses. The trial featured front line testimony about fake names and bank schemes to cover attachments and debts.
