PLAINVILLE NEWS (Continued from Seventh Page) Russell This was was was a sum of money lying. apparently overlooked, as it wrapped in paper. s Probably this robbery would have been discovered earlier if it had been committed before 12 o'clock last night, as Mr. Marowitz, clerk at the store, was on the point of entering. He had returned from attending a show and, hearing of the burglary in the Plainville Hardware store, was about to examine his place with friends, but did not do so. The shoe repairing store next to the market in the Neri block, owned by G. Blancato, was picked out as a favorable place to enter, but the bur- glars probably could not gain en- trance. The rear window had marks/ of the chisel under it and signs of a | hard tussle in an effort to pry it open, which seemed to have dis- couraged the men. Simpson’s grocery store on West Main street had been tried, but when the robbers saw what they were ’ up against, apparently left their task. The putty in the back door had been removed and the window was half | way cut. One had been broken near the lock, evidently that they might put their hands inside and unlock the | door However, a barrier of wood confronted them, When the store is closed at night, the windows and rear door are locked securely by placing {a board on the inside and heavily barring them. The discovery of the attempt was made this morning when the place was opened. The fact that all these places were entered and an attempt made to en- ter others, caused considerable alarm among the merchants, and the first thing they did was to make a thor- ough examination of the premises. These places were apparently the only ones entered or tried, as others had not been reported. Constable Marino was on duty during the whole night and did not see any suspicious characters about the town. He goes on duty at 9 o’clock and remains un- til about 4 o'clock in the morning. During that time he visits his stations | at the rear of Rogers’ bakery, Neri| block, Plainville Engineering com- pany, J. J, Murphy's pool parlor, the | Plainville Trust company and Hem- | ingway’'s store, He is given an hour[ to cover this territory in order to] make close examinations behind the! blocks. The fact that the robberies were made in the center of the town only, gave evidence that the men had prob- ably watched the constable and work- ed at their leisure when he was at the other end of the town. The state police will possibly be,called on the case and investigations made. Sev- eral people claim to have seen sus- piclous looking characters on the street during the day. Two very well dreased young fellows entered one of the local stores and after looking about purchased a small box of matches. One of these entered again some time later and made another small purchase. From the descrip- | tion given, it appears that they had been in other stores, and in all bought some small article. Joseph Neri said that he was awakened at about 3:30 o'clock this morning by the ringing of his doorbell. He look- | ed out of the window and a party of three men were in a touring car on the road near the traffic post. They made inquiries about the road to Hartford. Neri directed them. Falls Through Window. Frederick Spencer of Washington street fell through the window of the Plainville Hardware store yesterday afternoon and sustained a severe gash on his left arm. He was attende glass in front. To Visit Here. ~ R. H. Ruxton of Detroit, is spend- ing a short visit with his sister, Mrs. R. E. Lindsay of Mountain View.

He is 75 years old and is hale and hearty. Court Cases. The case of Paul Leonard of Pierce street, fined some time ago for trap- ping at the Spile Bridge without a license, was discharged in the su- perior court in Hartford. Leonard appealed his case. James J. McNally withdrew his ap- peal for a hearing before the superior court. He appealed his case which was arrested for disturbing the peace and drunkenness. To Attend Banquet A. A.
