Violet Stearn Charged With Passing Bad Check At Punxsutawney
A girl described as Violet M Stearn about 18 and a Smithport school teacher allegedly passed a $25 check at a Punxsutawney merchant Thursday after previously paying cash. The bank had no account for her, and Indiana County schools superintendent James F Chapman denied any teacher by that name. If she pays for the goods, no prosecution will follow.
