When the first persons from the bor ough arrived, water had to be brought from the adjoining farm as the weil and all around it was afire. In order to work the pump the men had to be covered with carpets, and worked va- liantly, turn about. The roof and rear of “the ‘house had already begun - to blaze and the bags which were used | were of no avail. But the timely ar- | rival of the chemicals which were | turned on put an end to the fire. The barn was burned and evervthing had Dbeen removed from the house.

TAKEN TO WETHERSFIELD Seven Prisoners Who Have Held Since The March Term Court. Been of Seven prisoners under sentence to state prison were taken from the jail at Brooklyn on Tuesday to Wethers- fleld In-'charge of Sheriff Preston B. Sibley and Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimshaw of Attawaugan. The men have been heid at the jail since the March term of the court because there has been no room for them In the te prison. Tuesday morning they were, taken {o Hartford by tramn. The men were munacled together in groups of four:and three. The (rain_was mude without incident the officers delivering the men at the state prison about noon when another deiegation of seven came in from Tolland county. he delegations from the two coun- ties weain filled the state prisou to capacity.

On Tuesday Sherift Preston B. Sibley and Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimshaw, Attawaugan, took from the jail at Brooklyn to the state prison at Weth- ersfield, Toni Russell, Thomas Drasco and Toni Rasler, the three young ban- dits who held up Nelson Leclair at his home on Park street on the morning of March 31. In connection with the removal of the prisoners, sentenced at {he Tust term of the superior court to serve from one to three vears in the state prison, there was an interesting development. When the three desperates entered the Leclair home each had a revolver and when they left they took along Le- clair’s, which they found in his room, making them four weapons. When they were captured by Deputy Sherift Grimshaw at Attawaugan this fact was known to him, but when the men were searched at the local police station only three revolvers could be found. One fellow xplained this by saying that he hac volvers iutc the brush near Attawau- gan and this statement was accepted as true. Tuesday while riding along with the prisoners Grimshaw asked ~ Drasco Wwhat he had really done with the re- volver and the prisoner, after being as- sured that he would not be further punished if he gave the desired infor. mation, said that the officer would find Putnam police station. When Mr. Grimshaw got back to Putnam at 4 o'clock he went to the police station and after getting in touch with Captain Murray the little tick from No. 3 was braught out into the office and searched. In the filling the gun was found, fully loaded. Dras- co also explained that the weapon hid- Leclair’s, and this also proves to be true. Drasco said in talking about hiding the weapon that he considered this evidence that he was not a real bad man, pointing out the fact that he had a chance to kill one of the officers if he desired to do so after he had been locked in his cell He explained how he managed to get by the officers with the gun when they were searching him by saying that he had slipped it down inside his trousers, but not in the legs thereof. Since Drasco occupied the cell where the gun was hidden a number of other prisoners have been held there, but no one of them nor the officers charge suspected that the revolver wa concealed in the bedding o clever had it been put aw. prisoner. With ‘the three prisoners mestioned four others were taken from the jail at Brooklyn to Wethersfield, a total of | seven, the men having been held at | Brooklyn since early in the spring on account of the crowded condition of | the state institution. | MARRIED FIFTY YEARS.
