NEW BRITAT DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7%, 1930. CAISSON WORKER VICTIY OF BENDS Suffers Sudden Attack But I Expected to Recover John Bellavance, a resident of this city since last Sunday, today was well on the road to recovery after an attack of calsson dise or bends, an lllness which frequently attacks persons who have been ac- customed to compressed alr and are too specdily transferred to changed climatic conditions. Bellavance suffered severe pain and nose bleeding yesterday and Dr. Vincent ¥. Mendillo was called. Although the ailment is most un- common in this locality, the doctor diagnosed it as calsson disease and sought supplies of compressed air to return Bellavance to the surround- ings to which he was accustomed. Unable to locate any, Dr. Mendillo made plans to take the patient to New York or Boston, where large tunneling projects are being carried out with laborers working under compressed air, but a noticeable im- provement in the condition of the man convinced Lim this would not Dbe necessary. This was a mild case of the disease, Dr. Mendillo explained to- day. In the more serious attacks, air bubbles form in the heart and stop the action of that organism, or on the spine, in which case paralysis of both legs results. In all types, intense pain accompanies the at- tack. Bellavance has been working in Maine, CONSCIENCE THIEE GOES 0 STANFORD Confessed Burglar Goes Back to Scene of His Crime John MeArdle, 18, of Tawlor street, Shamokin, Pa., who walked into the police station afternoon and asked to be arrested for burglary, was taken back to Stamford this afternoon by Ser- geants Hanrahan and Nevins, who were sent here in response to no tice by the local pollce after an in- terview’ with the young man. McArdle told the police he was homeless when he left Shamokin some months ago, and In New York he became acquainted with a young man known to him as Ralph. They hitch-hiked towards Boston, Mass., and in Rye, N. Y. they broke into a school house and got 50 cents and some food. Then they made thelr way to Stamford, where they broke into a school on Gay street, steal- ing some dental instruments, and then they went to New London. They were standing on a street corner talking to a third young man when they thought a policeman was looking at them in a susplcious manner, so they hurried away and threw the instruments into the Thames river while they were crossing a bridge. McArdle and Ralph eventually reached Provi- dence, R. I, where they separated, and McArdle took up with a gypsy, with whom he came to New Brit- ain, arriving on November 11. Since then, according to his story, he has worked with the gypsy at 183 North street, making baskets for his board and sleeping quarters. He had a falling out with his employer, he said, and finding himself with only five cents and no place to go to, he made up his mind that he would surrender to the police and ease his consclence. So far as the police could ~stab- lish, he had nothing to do with the Touse breaks and other burglaries committed in this city in the past several months, and the Stamford scrgeants this afternoon were like- wise unable to connect him with any but the Gay street school bur- glary. He told Lieutenant-elect McCue that he slept on the floor in the North street place until he found an old couch in a dumping grounds and brought it “home," us- ing it as a bed. Whether or not McArdle actually lived in Shamokin is not known, but in a conversation last night he dls- Played practically no knowledge of the locality which anyone who lived there even a short while might be expected to have. 12 Delegates Elected : For Synagogue Meeting The Congregation Brethren Sons of Israel synagogue will be repre- yesterday sented by six men and six women | at the Connecticut State Conference of the United Synagogue of America which will be held at the Emanuel synagogue, Hartford, on January 12.

She. ‘sustained a bruise on the right leg |and complained of a pain in the left | hip, besides tearing her stocking, but {she would not go to the hospital and LaFlamme drove her to her home. Officer John Aijudi, who reported | the accldent, found no cause for po- lice actlon. TLaFlamme told him he was driving at the approximate rate of 15 miles an hour at the time and the slippery condition of the pave- ment caused the car to skid.

RAILROAD ISSUES FEATURE OF BONDS injured was hurt Price Movement in Narrow| Range Because of Time Money New York, Jan. 7 (A—Rallroad and utility loans made a little pro- |gress in a more active bond market today, but the failure of time money to show further easiness kept the movement of prices within narrow bounds.
