THREE ARE JAILED FOR STORE THEFTS Gets Six Months Sentences for | Stealing Clothing Pleading guilty to two counts of theft in police court today, Hugh John Fitzpatrick, 30, of 21 Denni- son street, Hartford, James New- man, 23, of Providence, R. L., and | Eugene Pierson, 36, of Bridgeport, | were sentenced to jail for 6 months each by Judge Stanley J. Traceski, They were arrested by Officer | John M. Liebler on Sept. 17 on Main | street and had in their possession | in an automobile driven by Pierson a new suit of men’s clothing valu- ed at $30 and four pairs of women's hosiery valued at $9. The suit w stolen in Caslowitz's store on Lafay. ette street and the hosiery in Birn- baum’s store at Main and Lee streets, the police claimed. Officer Liebler testified that Mr. Birnbaum cafled his attention to | Fitzpatrick and Newman about 1: o’clock in the afternoon, saying they had inquired about children’s cloth- ing but had not bought anything in his store. Their actions aroused suspicion and Officer Liebler follow- ed them to an automobile which was parked across from the Palace theater. They saw him and sped away, turning into Lafayette street before he could get close enough to | detain them, but he caught the registration number and reported it at police headquarters. Returning to his beat after Motorcycle Officer W. S. Strolls had been detailed to scour the north- western part of the city, Officer Liebler encountered the car at Main and Myrtle streets, a red traffic light having stopped it. He ques- tioned the trio, Pierson being at the wheel, and brought them to the police station where they were searched and questioned at length. Newspaper clippings concerning the activities of members of the *pants gang” in New York and a jail break in Bridgeport were in their pockets, | and the suit of clothes and the ho. siery were in the car. They would nit admit anything of an incriminat- ing nature, Officer Liebler said. After the routine testimony of Caslowitz and Birnbaum to fix the value of the loot had been offered today Judge Traceski asked if any of the trio cared( to say anything. Fitzpatrick said simply that he wanted “to get this over with now MO —_— JAMES NEWMAN., EUGENE PIERSON. and T promise I will straighten out,” while Newman said he had just been releaseda from Bridgeport jail |and feund it impossible to find em- ployment. Pierson, who only today changed his plea from not guilty to guilty, said he had no intention of stealing anything when he left Bridgeport to drive Newman to Hartford, where they met Fitzpat- rick. Prosecuting Attorney Woods read their records to the court and recommended the maximum penal- ty. Fitzpatrick and Newman have been in Vermont state’s prison in addition to having served jail sen- tences, while Pierson has a jail rec- ord in Bridgeport.
