“DANIELSON AND PUTNAM DANIELSON «.Henry M. Reardon, for Alleged Em- bezziement of $2,000 from Mina M. Wright, Taken t> Jail by Sheriff Sib- ley—Arrested in New York—Held in $5,000 Bonds. Henry M. Reardon, 55, of New York, was Jocked up at the Brooklyn jail Tuesday, where he was taken Mon- day night by Sheriff Preston B. Sib- ley, by whom he was brought back from New York to Plainfield to face a charge of hkaving embezzled $2,000 from Mina M, Wright of that town. Reardon was arraigned before Jus- tice of the Peace George R. Torrey and probable cause found for helding him for trial at the March term of the superior court for Windham county, In default of the amount of his bond, fixed at $5,000, he was taken to jail, ‘where he said Tuesday that he expect- ed to be released soon on bail The embezzlement charge against Reardon grows out of an alleged tran- saction with Mina M. Wright in which it is claimed that he secured $2,000 from her for stock in the Columbian- Sterling Publishing company, after representing that the stock was a 16 per cent. investment during the year previous to the deal out of which the suit grows, and that he never deliv- ered all the stock for which she put up her money. It was said Tuesday by a promi- nent Plainfleld man who went tn New York to identify Reardon after his ar- rest, that about $25,000 of Plainfleld people’s money has been invested in the magazine that has had its troubles aired so much of late. It is not known that any more of.4hese people will bring suits, though they may do so. There is also a charge against Rear- don ¢f obtalming money from Miss Wright under false pretences, this in connection with the purchase of other stocks. In the apprehensicn of Reardon, Sheriff Sibley had something of an effort to make. Last week notice was made of the arrest of Reardon in New York for using the United States mail to defraud and of the fact that he had been bound over after a hearing be- fore Commissioner Shields to await a further hearing on December 1, his bonds being fixed at $3,500, in defaulf of which he was committed to the Tombs. State Attorney Searls of Putnam be- ing advised of his arrest, secured a bench warrant last week from Judge ¥dwin B. Gager, charging Reardon with the embezzlement count cited. Sheriff Sibley Thursday secured a re- quisition, reached Albany that night, and secured his warrant, arriving at New York Friday afternoon. Here he found that Reardon had been re- leased on bail from the Tombs and was at large and he placed his war- rant In the hands of Deputy Police Commissioner Sylvester Brireton, who advised the sheriff to return home, as it might be many days before Rear- don could be arrested. Sunday, however, Mr. Sibley re- celved word that Reardon had been ar- rested at 51 Wall street, and to pro- ceed to New York at once and take him. This the sheriff did, being ac- companied by A. H. Mathewson of Plainfield, who would be able to iden- tify Reardon in case that point was raised to prevent extradition. Mr. Mathewson's presence prevent- ed this point being raised, but Rear- don’s counsel contended that his pre- vious arrest and holding by United States authorities was sufficient to prevent his being taken out of the state until after the other matter was settled. This claim was not upheld by the city authorities of New York, how- ever, they deciding that while Rear- don was at liberty he was liable to arrest for any other offence; there- fore he was held and after presenta- tlon in the district attorney’s office Monday, was turned over to Sheriff Sibley and brought to Central Village Monday night. Reardon waived examivation and was bound over and jailed as indicat- The utmost courtesy was extended Sheriff Stbley by all who had any part in the proceedings incident tc. getting the prisoner back to Connecticut.

PUTNAM Tangled Case in Superior Court Grow- ing out of Domestic Troubles of Thirza Woodhead’s Heirs—Not So Many School Children—Dramatic Night at Pomfret School. In the supericr court here Tuesday, Judge Kdwin B. Gager, presiding, all of the day was consumed in taking ev idence in the case of the state of Con- necticut vs. the Maryland Fidelity & Deposit Co., Attorneys Charles R, Searls and Charles L. Torrey for the plaintiff, and Attorneys Robinson and Robinson, New Haven, for the defend- ant. An outline of the basis of the action is as follows: Thirza Woodhead died about four years ago. Her son, Fred Woodhead of Worcester, was named as administrator of her estate. Later, Frei's wife, Mary Louise, se- cured a divorce from him and in con- Lection therewith was allowed alimony at the rate 6f $8 a week. In 1308 she brought suit in Connec- ticut to recaver accrued alimony to in Killingly e and in the suit garnisheed his distributive thare of ‘ihirza Wood- head’s estate, and got judgment for about $2,000. She then brought scire facias suit against him as adminis- trator of the estate to recover the money which had been garnisheed, which suit failed, because he was found to be without the oney that should bhave been in his possession as admin- trator of his mother’s estate. The present suit, therefore, is against the fid ty and deposit company which supplied nis bonds as administrator. the present suit is that Mrs. Woodhead of the fact that her s something of a spend- t and that she had been a party s getting rid of some of the mon- The defence in along lines ant the Mr. Woodhead died about a year ago.

While the figures are not yet com- pleted for publication, it is known that the total will show a sligsht decrease from the enumeration figures of 1910, and in this connection it may be not- ed that this has been the case for the past four rs, during which a slight but steady dec has been shown; the total loss in that time being esti- mated at about 300. The reason for this is difficult to determine. Commissioners Finishing Report.
