He claims that the timepiece was sold to him by a stranger and that he in- tended to dispose of it at a profit. The complainant said he spent the night of July 23 in a rooming house on North street, and upon awakening found that his watch and $5 in bills had been removed from his pocket. He reported the matter to the police. Several days later William Meckler, agd 16, brought the watch to police headquarters explaining that he learn- ed it was stolen and didn't want to have it in his possession. He told Detective Sergeant W. P. McCue that Dorman had given it to him to sell. Dorman, he said, borrowed $4.50 from Bernard Lipshitz, a friend, so he intended to hold the watch as se- curity until the borrowed money was\ returned. The accused said that on the morn- ing of July 24 he met a stranger near Connor's drug store at the corner of Hartford avenue and North streets, and agreed to pay $8 for a watch that was $hown him. Since he had given all the ready money he had, he bor- rowed $4.50 from Lipshitz; also, he turned the watch over to Meckler to get additional funds. Moratorium Until Possible Moment.

Quigley. Has Shown Hand. M:. Quigley attended recent gath- erings of the local G. 0. P. leaders and succeeded in having chosen from among the members of his Indepen- dent Political club, a majority of the state convention delegation. At once he issued an ultimatum to ex-State Senator George W. Klett that the city must divorce itself from Rora- back’s faction, asserting that unless Klett was willing to cast his vote for another, Quigley would seek election as state central committeeman. No assurance was given Quigley that his wishes would be carrg:d out and the matter {8 now in abeyance. Issues Statement. The statement issued this afterngpn by Mr. Quigley, is as follows: “Many of my frifads are of the opinfon that certain news items ap- pearing in the newspapers regarding the candidates for delegates in the republican convention have led peo- ple to believe that I wish to.become the political dictator in New Britain' Such 18 not the case. “My though in taking an interest in the selection of delegates was for the purpose of defeathwg J.

Enigma to her captors, her husband and apparently even to herself, the girl told an amazing story of her dis- sipation of a fortune on drugs—a for- tunesthe source of which she said she ! did not know. Federal agents today were seeking a wealthy Chicago candy manufacturer from whom it was hop- ed could be learned something of the girl's antecedents. “I've spent 87,000 since the first of the year—most of it for drugs,” the girl of mystery said, asserting that all she knows of herself is that she is heiress to an English estate. Her husband, Nicholas E. Schaef- fer, an army fleld clerk, told of their | marriage last January. They lived for a time in an expensive apartment, he sald, but separated when he learned of her addiction to drugs and her companionship with other men. | LITIGATION FOLLOWS GOVT.

To Fight to the End. “We are going home to start the rea! fight, whether it lasts for three weeks or three months,” declared W. E.

And our men are willing to make the sac- rifices needed for a decisive victory” he concluded. B. M. Jewell, head of the strike or- ganization of crafts was equally posi- tive of the outcome of the battle which he asserted the raflroads left as the only course for the unions to pursue. Before starting for Chicago to pick up the reins of strike leader- ship he issued a statement to his mern, in which he sald: “We have gone the full limit In the interest of peace. If we must fight we'll show we know how.

He was released in bad health and became minister of local government | in the first Dail, devising the plan whereby town boards refused to turn over books, papers and money to British government representatives. Jails were soon filled with Irish town clerks, but the local government was paralyzed as far as the British were concerned.
