Wilbur Hubbard

Wilbur F. Hubbard, Forgery, Newark, N.Y., Auburn 7 yrs. Dec. 26, 1893

Alias Wilbur F. Fisk.

Hubbard, who lived in Lyons, was a swindler and forger was arrested by
Jerry Collins, in Indiana, over 1500 people were at the Railroad
Station to see him step off the train. Being a musician was prominent
in Church circles in Argos, Ind., he occupied the Christian pulpit.
Being a smooth, old foxey rascal. His crooked transactions run into
$10,000.00. There were eight indictments for forgery against him.


Only $10,000.00? He wasn't very good at forgery or swindling either, was
he?
