NEWINGTON THEFTS REMAIN UNSOLVED Fingerprints and Wool From| Sweaters Are Only Clues (Special to the Herald) Newington, April 21 — No arrcsts have been made yet in connection with the three robberies which oc- curred here Friday night. Entrance into the home of Danicl Kerr was cifected Dby climbing up the back | United provisional next four porch to the roof and then pr\mg\ open a window in the bathroom. Mr. Kerr left his home about 4:15 o'clock Friday afternoon and did | not return until after § o'clock in the evening. On his way home he | met a couple of young men rather suspicious looking nature but had no inkling at that time that his home had been robbed. After arriving home he found that milk had been deliberately poured over the kitchen and pantry floors, Upon further investigation he found his desk had heen broken into and over $100 in cash take Papers and accounts were scattered all over the room. A child's bank had been broken and about 80 cents taken Bureau drawers had been ransacked and ties, shirts, and a razor had also been taken. Mr. Kerr notified Constables John Walsh and Olesen, who are making 2n investigation with the state po- lice. At the home of Rudolph Gehrig, | where another of the robberies was committed, entrance was gained by prying open a pantry window and & dining room window. Here the thieves left a slight cluc | when they went through the pantry window, from their sweaters on the window ledge and shelves as they crawled through. Finger prints were left| on the shelves which they grabbed to pull themselves through. Lighted Lights, Ate Bananas The Gehrigs left early in the eve- ning to attend a show in Hartford | and did not return until 10:45 o'clock. The thieves were bold the home, as neighbors saw the whole house lit up and thought the Gehrigs had company. Two large chairs had been drawn up to the fire place where the in- truders sat and ate bananas and threw the skins on the floor, after-| wards walking on them and grind- ing them into the rugs. A small sum of money, a gold watch, a | pair of ladics’ shoes were taken. Mrs. Gehrig had ironed a pile of handkerchiefs and placed them in a dresser drawer. The culprits took all of these but one, and practically de- stroyed them. Had they taken the last one they would have found $20 under it. Two floor lamps were broken and water was poured on iop of the dining room table, ruin- ing it. Acts of depravity of an al- most indescribable nature were com- mitted, ruining rugs, bed clothing and all the clothing belonging to both Mr. and Mrs. Gehrig. Constable Halleran and Juror Lu were called on this ca two rings, Grand The home of James Malcolm was | the third place robbed. stolen from this home, which, the other two, was left as though it had been hit by a cyclone.

The Connccticut brief consists of thirty-one pages and stresses forty- | | three points on claims set forth at | the opening of the case before the | special master at Boston, Mass, | | February 1. | In addition to the brief, Connec- | ticut is filing 35 pages of comments| |on exhibits filed in the case, in| | which the exhibits are explained | |and extracts quoted from testimony | | offered with relation to them. Claim Charges Proven The brief holds that the materiil allegations of the bill of complaint | have ecither been admitted by the Massachusetts answer or have been proved by an abundance of test: | mony, which in many very import- ant aspects were uncontradicted. 1t | not only stresses the points Connec- | | ticut claims to have proved, but by | reference to the testimony of wit- nesses for both sides in the contro- versy and exhibits offered before tii: | master, tends to prove the conten- | tions. Connecticut conclusions in th brief are that the taking of water 1s an invasion of rights that cannot b | denied; that it will cause damagc to various interests in the state nr‘ | connecticut is proved by a clear preponderance of the evidence; that it is a taking of navigable waters, a fact which must be accepted by | the court, established by the action | of Massachusetts and of the war | cepartment as well as by the evi- | dence; that the taking is but the | fi step in the execution of a plan | which has its ultimate object the king of other rivers tributary to the Connecticut; that the taking ts unnecessary; that it must be stop- ped some time; that the inexhausti- ble supply within the eastern water- | shed must be gathered and made | available for consumption by the | metropolitan district, or a greater | supply must be taken from the in- | terstate streams.
