Y Berlin News RE-ARRESTED FREIGHT RIDERS AGAIN LET GO New York Fellows Taken i Custody "~ Fow Hoars Ater Being Discharged. «31IND BAGGAGE” RIDER FINED Well Dressed Poughkeepsie Young Man Wanted to Go Home to See ; His Sick Mother—Town Not Obliged to Pay Support of Insane Man. Because there was no evidence to prove that they actually had inten- tions of stealing another ride on a freight train, J. Wright and James Mario, the two New York fellows who were sentenced to fifteen days in jail and then discharged on a suspension of sentence yesterday, were again al- lowed to go free this morning, when they were arraigned before Judge George Griswold on a charge of vio- lating probation. They were placed under arrest by Railroad Detective John F. Mahamy of Westfield, Mass., and William J. Donnelly of Waterbury, shortly af- ter noon, while sitting on a truck at the Berlin passenger station.” For the second time, the railroad officers turned the same prisoners over to the local authorities for detention in the lockup. While they had submitted “peacefully to théir first arrest, they protested vesterday, threatening dire things to the detectives if the judge should revive the sentence which he suspended a few hours earlier. They condemned the constabulary, the town court and the town in general in the strongest of terms and were still talk- ing when Deputy Sheriff James Clark #lasped the padlock on their cell at the town farm, There was some discussion, before their case was tried, as to whether or | not the prisoners were violating the law im &itting on railroad property at the public station. New Haven and Hartford maintains a depot in this town for #he accommodation of the public,” de- clared Prosecuting Attorney Gihne: “and while they were found at the station only a short time after being | tried for trespass, that does not necessarily constitute another charge of trespass.’ He ventured that the prisoners may have secured money in the meantime and were waiting for A passenger train upon which to ride to their homes in New [ork! Judge Griswold questioned the rail- road officers and learned that, in the iwo hours or more that the fellows nad been loitering around the depot passenger trains had left for Ne York, which they «could have hoarded f they so wished: said . that the prisoners admitted 'to aim that they were waiting for an %pportunity to “hop” a freight. .Judge Griswold ruled that they could be :ried for violating ‘probatiom, after which the proseg¢utor asked that.their sentences of yesterday be revived. Asked what they had to say in their Awp defense, the prisoners explained “The New York, | railroad | Officer Mahany | that they were waiting at the station for the purpose of securing a job on one of the engines bound for the metropolis. They thought they might be able to earn their passage by shoveling coal. “Why, it's impossible to walk 110 miles to New York!" de- clargd Wright, adding in the same Freath: “We don’t even know what we were brung hack here for.” Judge Griswold said-that he would be obliged to discharge the accused, owing to the lack of evidence to show that they had violated their probation. While he thought they intended to steal another ride, their word would have to be accepted and they could not be convicted, he said. The prosecutor then went to the door and pointed out to the lucky fellows the road to New York. They took his advice and began on their long hike. “Blind Baggage” Rider Fined. When the 12:51 New York express sped into the local yards yesterday noon, Detectives Mahany and Donnelly espied a well dressed young man clinging to a rail on the forward part of a baggage car next to the engine. They took him off and placed him in the custody of Sheriff Clark for trial this morning. The *“‘blind baggaze'” rider gave his neme as Frank Brown of Pough- keepsie, N, Y., when put to plea in court. He has been living in Spring- field for the past few months, he said, working for the James Whitcomb Tcbacco company, on a salary of ten dcllars a week, Last week he received a letter from a friend in his native town, who informed him of his mother’s ‘'sudden illness. He wanted to see her as soon as possible, he said, but had no money with which to pay his fare to Pough- epsie. He tried in vain to borrow d, with only $1.63 in his pockets, ided yesterday to steal a ride as | far as New York. He took the trol- ley to Hartford and got on board the train upon which he was caught, just as it was pulling out of the Union station. In answer to questions by the prose- cutor, Brown told the court that he regularly spent six dollars out of his weekly pay envelope for his board and lodging alone and that he was often left without funds after sending home money to his mother, who is a widow. | Judge Griswold thought he could have saved enough money to travel to | his home without breaking the sta- tutes and imposed a fine of five dol- lars without costs. As Brown did not | have enough money to pay the fine, the court placed him on his honor, in- structing him to remit the amount Lefore the first day of next month. He was also instructed to write the judge a letter immediately upon reaching Springfield again. Refuses to Support Insane Man. | At a session of ! held this morning, Judge Bernard ¥, ! Gaffney sustained the claim of Se- | lectman William H. Gibney”that the { town of Berlin should not be obliged | to contribute toward the support of | Harvey Bowers of East Berlin, who I was taken to the Connecticut Hos- pital for the Insane at Middletown Sunday. The selectman held that | this town was not responsible for Bowers owing to the fact that he is not a regular resident. His home is in Middletown, although he has been | boarding with Charles Lindquist of the probate court | East Berlin for the past three years. i | His conservator, Levi B. Yale of Mer- | iden, served notice on Mr. Gibney to the effect that he expected the town to take charge of the case. Bowers has been mentally de- ranged for the greater part of his life, but he never became violent until recently. His condition has been getting more serious for some time ‘of late and on Sunday he became so violent that Dr. T. C. Hodgson of East Berlin found it necessary to take him to the Middletown asylum. He is being held there still pending the action of the court. It is said that, on several occasions recently, the demented man :has broken out of the' Lindquist house and rum out into the street with hard- ly any clothés on his body. Hé is about twenty-six ‘vears old and has relatives living in Westfield. Drilling ' For Well. The American Telephone and Tele- graph company has begun drilling a well on its lot, near the Hollister place on Turnpike road, The company | has plans for the erection of a watch- man’s house on the same site. ‘Will Receive Visit From Father.

LOCAL PLUMBER DIED SUDDENLY C. J. Foster Was Highly Esteemed by Townspeople—Town Reporis to Be Scattered Broadcast By G. S. Bab- cock—William Mitchell's Funeral. A loyal crowd of Plainville fans is planning to attend the benefit basebail game at Electric fleld tomorrow aften- noon to show Owner William Scinski that they are with him, heart and soul, in his persistent efforts to keep New Britain on the baseball map. The action of the Eastern league in voting to head the subscription with a check for $500 was hailed with glee by the sporting enthusiasts as they read the Herald last evening. Owing to this new impetus to per- petuate the life of Owner Scinski's enterprise, there is some talk of re- viving the agitation for Sunday base- ball before the end of the league sea- son, Members of the citizens’ com- mittee who have been directing the plans of the opposition refuse to be- lieve the rumor that the agitation ghost is stalking again. They con- sider the Sunday baseball argument closed for this season. One of the town officials who is re- ported to be in favor of Sunday base- ball at Electric field has been quoted as saying that two arguments occur to him to back up his contention, He says that the authorities make no ef- forts to stop the Sunday afternoon games at Woodford's field between local teams. Moreover, for several Sunday afternoons within the last two months there has been horse trot- ting at the new half-mile track laid out on 'the sandy soil near the Tom- linson place. More than casual in- terest has been manifested in the trotting and it is reported that ex- perienced horsemen became real en- thusiastic when one of the ‘horses stepped around the track at a 2:22% clip. X Several of the baseball fans have suggested that Owner Scinski ought to try an exhibition game on Sund: afternoon, taking up a collection in- | stead of charging admission, and base his defense on the facts that Plain- ville allowed local baseball contests and horse trotting on Sunday. Clayton J. Foster. The Herald’s account last evening of the sudden death of Clayton J. Foster at his home on Unionville avenue was read with deep regret by a large circle of his friends. The funeral will be held at his late home tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. Henry S, Still of Forestville of- ficiating. Sessions lodge, K. of P., of which Mr. Foster was a member, will have charge of the committal service at West cemetery. At 11:45 o’'clock yesterday morning Mr. Foster was working at the home of Myron E. Rogers, apparently feel- ing as well as usual. He was seized with a violent attack of acute indi- gestion, His partner, Mr. Daniels, as~ sisted him to his home on Unionville avenue and sent for a physician. Dr. C. M. Kent of Forestville was the first of three physicians to arrive, but Mr. Foster had died before he could give him treatment. v He was thirty-six years old and was born in Unionville. He came to Plainville to live in 1910, but he had been associated with the local plumb- ing business before that date. He had recently opened a plumbing shop in Forestville under the firm name of Foster & Daniels. He is survived by a wife, formerly Miss Ethel Ellsworth of this = town, a grandmother, Mrs. Mary Ryder, and two aunts, Mrs. A. J. Mitchell and Mrs. Rufus Mitchell. Books Ready for Auditors. George S. Babcock announced day that the official town records in- cluding all the books kept by the board of selectmen, have been checked carefully and are ready for inspection by the auditors, F. L. Benzon and Frank Osborne. After the auditors place their O. K. on the various accounts, the data will be assembled for printing in the an- nual town reports. Following the usual custom, the town officials ex- pect to have the reports printed and ready for distribution at the annual town meeting which will be held on October 5. Mr. Babcock is contemplating a new scheme for distributing the town reports so that every taxpayer will be sure to get a copy. He intends to load them into his buggy and drive around, leaving a town report at the home of every resident of the town. In the past there has glways been some complaint from voters and tax payers who did not receive a copy of the report. Usually the neg- ligence has been due to the com- plainants themselves because the re- ports are kept in the office of the se- lectmen at the town hall and can be had for the asking. More than 150 copies of last year's report are gath- ering dust in the town hall today. Mr Babcock, who, by the way, is sup- posed to be an active candidate for the office of first selectman, belives that taxpayers ought to take the an- naul report and read it after the town goes to the expense of having it com- piled and printed. For this reason he will. drive ,around and distribute the new reports personally to remove to- all possibility of complaint about not receiving copies. Operation Postponed. Contrary to expectation William L. | Cooke of Hough street, who is a| patient at the Hartrord hospital, did | not undergo an operation to remove | an abscess yesterday. The physicians | at the hospital took three x-ray photo- | graphs to determine the exact nature of his illness. Dr. Swett, the noted specialist, was called in consultation with Drs, Mc- | Knight and Lampson, to examine the ! yvoung man. He decided that the ab- | scess had not infected the young ! man’s spine and that the operation could ‘be held immediately. ' Owing to the absence of Dr. Knight, however, the operation postponed until this morning. William Mitchell’s Funeral. The funeral of Peter William Mitchell was held at 2:30 o'clock this | afternoon from his late home on| Maple street, Rev. Mr. Thurston | officiating. Interment was in West | Cemetery. It is a matter of regret to friends | of Mr. Mitchell and his family, that | eve-witnesses of the accident which resulted in his death, neglected to get the number of the automobile that was standing on the wrong side of the | road with bright head-lights burning. | Mr. Mitchell’s son feels that if any- one is to blame for the unfortunate accident, it is the owner of this auto- mobile. While the occupants of the motor-cycle were being attended to the automobile disappeared. Brief Items. F. D. Hastings, and Charles New- ton of this town returned from Block Island yesterday with a fine catch of | fish. They had three carp which averaged fifty pounds apiece and | three blue fish any one of which | tipped the scales at five pounds. | Miss Ruth Irish of Manchester Is | the guest of Miss Helen Kilkeary of | East street.
