Scaffone who gave his age as 18 vears and looked much younger, was found guilty of stealing $8 from Carlo Sezzela on Tuesday morning in the town court this morning and fined $10 and cosis, totaling $29 and placed on probation for six months, by Judge George G. Griswold. Because of his youth the court was inclined to be lenicnt, and rather than impose a jail sentence, fined Scaffone. According to testimony furnished, Scaffone has only lived in this town for a month. He is practically alone in this country having only a brother in North Haven. Scaffone declared this morning that he was not positive whether the relative was his brother. He has been befriended on numerous occaslons by Sezzela, who roomed at the same boarding house with him. Sezzela srympathized with the youth and tried tc act as a father to the boy. Scatfone stole the $8 from Sez- zela's valise by prying it open and taen left Berlin. He was trailed to North Iaven by Prosecutor Willilam H. Gibnev, Constable N. L. Beckley, and Officer Polo Ricco, where he was arrested while asleep at his relative's house. The boy broke down, and al- though warned that anything he would say would go against him he made complete confession of the crime. When offered the opportunity —of mending nis ways, he promised to re- turn to his work at Carbo’s brickyard and pay his fine. ~ had spent $3 of his ill got- a Home From Texas, Mrs. Grover Stock of Port Arthur, Texas, returned to thc home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ander- son, of Main street, Kensington, last evening.

Mr. Babcoock says in connection statement of principles that it simply contains the essence of his plans in case of his election. town from A to Z, having lived here for 45 yea with town affairs for many years. For the past five years he was clerk of the sclectmen. In his daily travels abaut town, he sees many things ‘h in his opinion need attention. Certain streets need immediate care. In other places repair work is ur- gently demanded. One thing he makes plain and that is if elected he intends to be independent and will use his own judgment in administer- ing town affairs. Ho doesn't intend to wear any man’s collar. He will give a fair hearing to all complaints and listen to suggestions, but when it comes to taking action, Babcock will be the man at the helm. His written platform follows: “To the Voters of the Town Plainville: 1 am a candidate for the office of irst selectman and if elected will fill the position to the best of my ability. I will not be subject to the form of dictation which has ruled here in the past. With the experience I have had the last five years as clerk of the board, I consider myself competent to fill the bill. Under present condi- tions, we seem (o be the laughing stock of the towns around us and it is about time things were changed, especially as regards the policing of the town. If elected I shall make an effort to effect such changes as in my opinion will improve conditions lo- cally. All I ask for is an oppor- tunity and I will do my best to serve you honestly and efficiently. “Yours truly, “"GEORGE 8. BABCOCK. “Plainville, Conn., September 2, 1915.” Grammar School Staii.

The first game In the series of three pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny of $70 from the Worthy hotel com- rany, of Springfleld, Mass., when ar- Tanged in the juvenile court of Springfleld yesterday and was held in $500 bonds for trial in the juvenile court on Saturday. The larceny, it is alleged, was accomplished by means of a stolen check, to which he forged an endorsement. Kunchick was taken to Springfield frem Brooklyn, N. Y., where he was captured by Inspector Walter L. Henderson, after an exciting chase. Ir spite of the boy's years, the police in Springficld claim that he is an old hand at the forgery game and that the larceny In Springfleld was cnly one of five charges which they can bring against him. He is accused of rifling mail boxes in Springfield and New York. Because of his youth the New York authorities showed leniency and placed him on probation when recently arrested there. It is possible before the local boy is brought to trial on Saturday the federal authorities will prefer charges against him. Although Kun- chick claims he is only 16 years of ege the Springfield police expect to unearth evidence that he is 21 years old. Berlin Briefs, Rev. Samuel A.
