The at- tempted “holdup’’ in Greenberg’'s of- fice, where E. C. Denison is alleged to have been ordered to pay $1,000 to escape prosecution, is the story of to- day. The death of Enio Renaldino ia felt to be directly due to a shipment of booze which had disappeared whila in his charge. The death of Louis ‘Winkle, despita the accidental death theory and alleged ‘“confession,” is felt to be due to his knowledge of the rum ring and a large sum of money he carried on his person. Tho hold-up of Arthur A. Harris on the road from Wallingford, by a gang said to have been in charge of A. J. Richardson and a Waillingford police- man, with several others, and the “loss” of a shipment of liquor from Boston to New Britain, are a few of the stories now being told. The story of the shipment from Bos- ton entails a chase by .two revenue men which might make a good movie thriller. Harris, who also had charge of that load, according to the story, wag accompanied by another man and was followed by two revenue agents. The route to New Britain took them through Worcester, at which place Harris and his companion are said to have become so friendly with ‘the revenue men that they left the latter in Worcester thoroughly intoxicated and they disappeared with the load. ‘When Harrig and his man reached New Britain the' booze had strangely disappeared.

While a number of people in New Britain who feel acquainted with the myriad details of the gigantic rum ring unearthed following the mys- terious dcath of Louis Winkle, ex- pected for some time to hear of the arrest of Prosecuting Attorney Albert A.

Renaldino, who was found dead in his automobile in Farmington four - months later, and whose death was declared by Richardson to be suicide, despite the fact that public opinion in the case does not correspond with this verdict and that the ‘state police do not believe. in the suicide theory, was connocted with a load of liquor, it is said, which was stolen from New Britain and which led to this conference in Greenberg’s office.
