rg" NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1912 WESTERLY FAT MEN'S CLAMBAKE Held Thursday For 38th Season at Brightman’s Pond—Dam- age Done By Wednesday Night's Storm—Artillerymen Make Good Scores at Sf vited to New London. tate Rifle Range—Firemen In- At the heartng before Judge Breed in the town court of Stonington Wed- nesday, in the case egainst Charles Blumeniyrg, the ex-rallroad charged with attempting to break enter the Mystic rallroad station, the E. W. Carpenter company clothing store and the Workingmen's club in Pawcatuck, several Rhode Island of- ficers and two railroad detectives were present and taking notes. They were Chief Thomas E. Brown, Sergt. Edwin H. West and Frederick T. Mitchell of the Westerly police department, John R. Wilcox, sheriff of Washington county, and Railroad Detectives Vin- cent of New London and Hanafy of . They were present to learn, if possi- ble, whether Blumenthal could be.con- nected with robberies and attempted robberies in Westerly and Watch Hill and at stations along the line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. The Westerly police are sat- isfied that Blumenberg committed bur- glary at the Bannon and Peters stores, as he was in Westerly at that time and the mode of entrance was identi- cal with that at the Carpenter store. In court Blumenberg testified that he hed not been in Westerly for the past six monthe until last Saturday. Chief Brown and Sheriff Wilcox called on an aunt of Blumenberg in Mechanic street, Pawcatuck, immediately after the hearing and learned that he had been in Westerly frequently during the pest three months and was heére on the day of the Downie & Wheeler eircus, and at the time of the robbery of the Main street stores. Blumen- berg may also be connected with the burglary of the Willard hardware store. o Sheriffl Wilcox believes that he saw Blumenberg at Watch Hill on two occasions during the period that breaks were being made at some of the cottages, and was about to appre- hend him as a suspicious character when he disappeared. Detective Hanafy says he has been en the trail of Blumenberg for over two weeks, for entering the Sharon station, and for robberies along the line of the system. The bunch of ci- gars that Blumenberg had in his pos mession Hanafy _identified as bein stolen from the East Greenwich boat club house, Detective Vincent was personally acquainted with Blumenberg, when hi resided in Groton, and worked as brakeman, flagman and freight con- ductor. The detective was satisfied that Blumenberg committed burglary at the Groton ferry house in New London and when he started on the trail Blumenberg left his train and disappeared. He was subsequently located in Springfield, Boston and Providence, but it was understood that no arrest would be made if he kept beyond the borders of Connecticut. Vincent declares that Blumenberg committed the robbery at the Edge- comb store in Groton on the eighth of the present month and that arrange- ment had been made to arrest him for that crime.

A large maple tree in front of Reuter's on the Watch Hill road was blown down, carrying with it the wires and three poles of the trolley and teiephone line. Several telephones were put out of business, and traffic on ithe trolley road was materially dis- turbed. As soon as possible repairs were made, obstructions removed, and troliey business resumed. Thursday, the poles were replaced and all evi- dence of the damage removed. So far as known the storm occasioned no other damage in Westerly, The thirty-eighth annual clambake of the Westerly Fat Men's club was Beld at Barnes' point, Brightman's pond, Thursday. There was a large attendance of members and guests, and the pleasures were fully up to the high standard. The time was that to be eligible to membership in the club the candidate must weigh two hun- dred pounds or over, but now men of any weight and from any place are eligible. The weight standard is, however, maintained, but the scales are adjusted that a candidate whose actual weight is 110 will tip the scales at 210. For thirty-seven successive years, these meets have been held at Bright- man's, at the old Brightman home- stead, but change was made this year to Barnes’, as hakes are served no more at the famed Brightman's, so All the granite for the new town hall and courthouse has been set, and the granite coping has been all cut at the New England Granite works and delivered to the contractor, except ten pieces.
