Joweler Duplicity Suspect Narrows to Whitney Scam
A man named Geo H Whitney traveled from Washington to Frederick and lodged with the Green family on East Church Street. He shopped for a $19 watch at a jeweler, paid with a check on Chico Bank of Washington, claimed local banks were closed, and later fled after the check was returned as worthless. Whitney, about 50, of dark complexion and well dressed, charmed his way into trust before skipping without paying his boardinghouse and watch bill.
