PADELLI Goclds Are Stolen At Kensington Store—Death of Charles Viets—Two Cases Heard By Judge Griswold— Hearings August 16. Postmaster W. W. FFagan of the Kensington post office has received word from Miss Margaret Flynn, who left on Thursday of last week for a two weeks’' vacation, that she will not return to Kensington and therefore tenders her resignation as assistant postmaster of the local officc. She will make her home in Syracuse, N. *Y., in the future. Miss Flynn came to ‘work in the localtoffice in August of 1919, starting as a clerk and worked her way up'to assistant postmaster. Mr. I"agan said this morning that’it was a blow to him to lose her as she has been a most proficient worker and was well posted on all postal mafters. « While in Kensington Miss Flynn made her home with her sister, Mrs. Frank Brown on 'Main street. She vwas a member of St. Paul's church and a most active worker in the church organization. She Was also one of the organizers of the Reliable Bewing club in this town. Word that she was not going to return to Ken- sington to live came as a complete purprise to her many friends in this town. Two Cases In Court. Two cases wete heard by Judge Griswold in the town court last night. E. Nocvelli of Berlin, was arraigned on a charge of illegal sdle of liquor. He was fined $25 and costs, which to- talled $75.365. Wauseguin Pyrczak of Booth street Ne® Britain, was arrested Monday aftprnoon on' a charge of driving a metor vehicle while under the influ- enee of liquor. He was fined §$100 and .costs. | . : 1t fs claimed that Pyrczak was driv- ing under the -railroad bridge in Kensington when the wheel of his automobile betame caught in the trojley tracks and as a result he lost the wheel.

The Berlin farmers are anxiou ly awaiting the return of dry weatier. It has been reported that some sort | of a blight is affecting the v?\thOl=.‘ Corn is also being badly affected. Many of the fruits, it is said, are rotting on the trees for lack of sun- shine and the peach crop may not be up to expectation. It has also been reported that the local fruit growers are ®oing to lose on apples this year as they are also rotting on the trees. Several of the smaller vegetable plants such as the cabbage, tomato and celery are rotting, due to the heavy rains and as a result the truck produce has suffered probably more than any other farm product. Padelli and the Gypsies. A small Ford truck came into town yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock and stopped in front of the store om vMain street, Kensington, conducted by Joseph Padelli. It later proved to be a truck with gypsics, three women and one 'man. The women entered the store, it is claimed, and one of them is reported to have so confused Padelli so that he opened the cash drawer to the reg- ister upon a command from the wo- man. As this gypsy was active in getting Padelli to open the drawer the others were taking material and goods from the place, it is said, and putting ‘them in their truck. Mrs. Padelli, it is alleged, happen- ed upon the scene at the time and notified Constable Brown, who is em ployed across the way at the Ameri can Paper Goods company, that something was wrong at the store. The interference of Mrs. Padelli is said to have been a warning to the gypsies, and they started to leave the store. ' Prosecutor lLewis was late called upon the scene and the gyp- sies were ordered to leave town. Mr. Padelli stated this morning that nothing was taken from the cash reg ister and, that the value of the goods stolen did not amount to more than three dollars Stopped In Berlin, John Diake of the Blake and Wool ruft store caid that a truck with gyp sieg stopped In front of the store o Berlin street after 12 o'clock yester day noon. He claims that one of th women wanted to read his hand and when he told her he did not eade tc have it read she got into the lruck and they started in the direction ci Kensington. 4 Many Cases August 16, Wednesday evening, August promises to be an interesting one far as Judge Griswold and Prosecn torglLewis are concerned for it was learned- this morning that the state golice have about 16 cages to be heard on this date.
