I, Albert Lambert, 22, Ed- ward Keating, 24, and Alfred Pike, 20, of Riverpoint, R. L cCormick told the court that he was a chauffeur by occupation and during the summer had driven a pri- vate car for a party in Providence. He claimed to be on his way to Hart- ford to obtain a job. He showed his Rhode Island chauffeur’s license. He said that he and his companions had ridden outside on the freight train until they had reached Moosup, when they discovered that the car in which they were found was open and they had climbed into it. He and Lam- bert were on the train when Pike and Keating had Doarded the train at Washington. Judge Arnold fined him ($1 and costs and then remitted both, Lambert stated that ke had no crade but worked in shops and had worked for two months for the New Haven system in Providence, but had been out of a job for several weeks past. The last work he did was in Akron, Ohio, where he worked three day; in a rubber factory. le came bac home by beating freights. He said he expected to get work in the rub- ber works in Hartford. He saig all the money he had was 75 cents and | he was hanging on to that .to wash up w in the morning and present a respectable appearance when he ap- plied for work. Lambert’s attitude in court would indicate that he took his arrest as a joke, but he changed his | ideas upon the subject when the court | imposed a sentence of 20 days in the | county jall at Brooklyn. Keating informed the court that his home was in Riverpoint, R. I, and that he worked at anything he could find to do. He had worked in bleacheries and at handling brick and cement on construction work. There | was no work in Riverpoint and he had | started for Hartford to see if he could land a job. He was sentenced to 18 days in the county jail. Pike said he had no regular occupation and that he was on his way to Hartford to see if he coulg get a job. The court im- posed a fine of $1 and costs upon | him and then remitted both. 5 Judge Arnold, in fining McCormick | and Pike, said that he did so because of their age, both being minors. He gave them a lecture about beating | their way about the country on freight trains and informed them that they would be vastly more likely to obtain employment at home, where they were known than in strange cities where they had no friends or acqueintances to intercede for them.

STAFFORD SPRINGS Mysterious Shot May Result in Er- nest Handle’s Death—Baker-Wilbur Marriage. Ernest Handle who was brought to the Johnson Memorial hospital a few days ago suffering from a bullet wound in the head is in a precarious condition and the physicians say that there 1is little chance for his re- covery. Handle lived with his parents and brothers near Crystal lake and it was at first thought tht there might have been a serious crime committed as he had trouble Sunday with his brother Fred. Investigation thus far indicates that the shot was accidental as Ernest had chased his brother with the gun and his father who had just come to the house saw the gun in Ernest’s hands and immediately heard it discharged ,so that the indications are elther that it was accidental or that suicide was intended. Handle has been unconscious since he was shot. Baker-Wilbur, Leonard B. Baker and Miss Isabelle ‘Wilbur were married in Everett, Mass., Tuesday afternoon.
