Evidencs Against His Suspect. ALLEGED CHICKEN THIEF FREED Morgi Dinner—He Wouldn’t Deny Having Red Sweater Either—Hence Officer Believed He Must be Guilty, Admits Having Chicken for Have you dined on chicken recent- ly or have you a red sweater in your wardrobe ? If you can give an af- thesc questions it might be well to remain sllent, for Constable Nelson Sucie, the Westwood Park sleuth, despite the rude jolts given him in court last evening, is still looking for the man Who stole fowl from Alfred Anderson of White Oak, and he requires but lit- tle evidence to arrest his suspects, In fact he proved last night that a fond- ness for the delectable broiler or a partiality towards red in the selec- tion of coloring for a sweater is suf- ficlent to give him a clue of cnough strength to bring in a prisoner, by heck! The officer’s rise to fam lock Holmes was abruptly night when Attorney P. K. McDon- ough and Lawyer James T. Mather took him in hand and by the time they had finished their verbal as- sault, the Westwood FPark ‘‘con- stabule” was in a muddle from which he was unable to extricate himself. The volley of questions was fired by the Jawyers in an effort to clear thelr client, Tony Morgi of New Britain, of the charge of stealing five hens for which he had been arrested Tuesday night. The man had been kept in the lockup for nearly twenty-four hours, "Detectiv Sucie even refus- ing his wife’'s request to be permitted 1o see him, The arrest and the subsequent ac- tioms of the officer was responsible for one of (he most farcical court ses- sions that has been held here in a long time and Justice E. P. Prior, o presided, discharged the prisoner without any hesitancy after he had heard Sucie's “great case.” The officer was scathingly arraigned by Lawyers McDonough and Mather, who styled the arrest of their client as persecution of the worst kind. As A result of the burlesque there was talk today of asking the selectmen to rYevoke Sucie's commission as a con- stable. Grand Juror M, A, Norton, who is- sued the warrant for the suspect’s ar- rest, was probably as indignant as anyone when court was over, as the officer’s story on which the papers were made up, and that told to the justice were so widely at varlance that they could not be recognized as accounts of the one case, Prosecutor Norton declared that Sucie had told him that he had one witness who had seen Mowvgl walking away from the Anderson place with a headless chicken under his arm. He also declared to the grand juror that he had a number of others who weré prepared to identify tane prisoner as the man who had been seen skulking around White Oak and who was sus- pected of stealing the hens. Be- sides didn’'t he have the prisoner's own admission that he had dined on chicken a few days before? Wasn't it also true that in Morgi's house tne officer found a red sweater” And didn’t the suspect wear such a gar- ment? “Why it's a cinch,” said Sucie, “I have the right man,” he declared. His story sounded so plausible that the prosecutor issued the warrant and Morgi was taken into custody. Yes- terday the man’s friends employed Yawyer Mather to defend him and his brother went to New Britain and retained Attorney McDonough. Both were in Morgl's corner last night. Sucle's formidable array of wit- ncsses, pictured to the prosecutor before the warrant was ued, de- veloped into a few of the peaple liv- ing or working near White Oak, who were willing to admit that the man they had suspected of stealing the chikens wore a red sweater jand light trouser They wouldn't ider tify Morgi as the man and all ai claimed knowing anything about him, Attorney McDonough was hot the man's arrest and he read the riot act to the officer.

Mr. Thurston was retired by the conference on account of his poor health. He will continue to live in the Methodist parsonage here and will be paid a salary by the confer- ence. The. Methodists had given him an invitation to remain here as pastor for another year, but his physical condition did not warrant his reap- pointment, the conference believed, and he was put on the retired list His successor will be Rev. Houck of Hartford, a young student, who will receive his degree in June. The new pastor will be here for Sun- day services until after graduation when he will come to Plainville to make his home.
