The inability of the po- lice to locate the victim of the alleged robbery this morning served to make the case baffling and the au- thorities were today inclined. to ques- tion the truth of some of the features of ‘the story which he told last even- ing. That the man was assaulted is not questioned, a hdly brulsed face and a cut over his eye, from which blood streamed in copious quantities as he walked around the streets in search of a policeman, testifying to the treat- ment he had received. He was badly intoxicated at the time and not a £reat deal of attention was paid to his ¢laim that the men who attacked him stole over $400 which he had on his It was this feature of the case that made the police authorities anxious to locate him they . might have more information in proceeding witn their investigation before ordering any arrests. Farrell's allezed assailants are well known to the authorities. One of them formerly lived here, but is now working out of town. He left Plain- ville a short time after the assault was committed. but, accordding to his friends, his disappearance had noth- ing to do with the case, as he had previously arranged to get out of town, having come here to see some friends. His alleged accomplice is a young negro who is well known in town. The police heard of the affair in rather indirect fashion and they do not place much confidence in some of the reports concerning 1t Farrell was In a cafe the evening. e drunkenly of having considerable money on his per- e showed rather fat roll after pecling off a few bills, con- cealed the bhalance in his undercloth- ing. e claimed there ws over $500 on his person. Early in the evening a boy entered the Plainville Hardware company's store and reported that a drunken man was being assaulted in the drive- way. Sylvester Mason, who was in the store at the time, went out to in- vestigate, at the suggestion of Grand Juror M. A. Norton, and found Far- rell lying on the ground. Farrel and Mason are well acquainted and when the former cried out “they have my | Toll” he hurried after the two youns men leaving the alleyway. Recogniz- | ing them, he returned to find ghat his friend had departed. Farrell wandered about the streets looking for an officer and explaining to people whom he approached that he had been robbed of several hun- dred dollars. Because of his Intoxi- cated condition, not a great deal of attention was pald to his story. His talk was of a rambling character, although he insisted that the men who struck him had taken his money. When the constables heard.of the | alleged assault a short time later they were unable to locate the vietim. He could not be found around town this | morning and his absence scrved to strengthen the helief that he exag- gerated the affair in describing it last night. The authorities were hopeful of getting in touch with him before night, however. in order that warrants might be issued if the evidence made sts advisable. riends of the younz man accuséd of the holdup today gave the opin- fon that they had an argument with Farrell which ended in a fight. and | that the robbery feature was born in | the latter's imagination. The affair | caused considerable talk around town this morning and there was a strong demand that It be investizated thor- oughly, reports of robherics of a sim- ilar character and the taking of money | from the pockets of intoxicated men by “painless extraction” methods hav- | ing been so numerous during the past months that the townspeople he- lieve it is time some action was taken.
