/ The work on the extension of the water service from Pleasant View to Weekapaug did not = progress very much THursday, as about fifty of the Italian laborers failed to put in ap- pearance. There was no strike or any semblance of a strike, the men simply did not report for work. They started as usual from their homes and board- ed the special work car for Weeka- paug. When Conductor McCarroll was collecting the fares, one of the party handed him a fifty cent piece and re- ceived proper change, In the next seat one of the vmen handed the conductor a twenty-five nt coin and received the change. He isted that he had given the con- ductor a half dollar and demanded the change due from a coin of that de- nomination. The conductor was sure that the passenger was mistaken. He, however, examined the money in his possession and there was but one balf dollar. Then there was a dispute, nearly every laborer in the car, from the frong:.seat to the rear, declaring that they.saw the passenger give the conductor a half dollar. There wag open and frequent accu- sation thnt“h., conductor had been in the habit of short-changing the labor- ers. As the conductor was positive he ad made no mistake in the change, te declined to give the complaining passenger the extra twenty-five cents “demanded. There was considerable talk among the men and when the car reached the Pleasant View switch, one of the party, presumably a self-se- lected leader, shouted: “All off,” and off théy got to a man. The party of laborers trudged back to the village of Westerly and went direct to the local office of the Norwich & Westerly Traction company. For- mal complaint was made against the conductor and the men demanded that the trolley company pay them each $2 for the loss of the day’s work. They were assured that the charge against he conductor would be investigated, ut that there was nothing doing in paying the men for the loss of their time. .only one of their number was directly interested in the transaction and that the rest, at least, should have con- tinued on to their work. Some of the men said that by reason of not repofrting for work at Weeka- paug they would probably be dis- charged, -but this point was subse- quently satisfactorily adjusted. after oonference between General Manager Anderson and Superintendent Elliott with Thomas McKenzie, superintend- ent of the water works. Just as soon after the trouble as was possible, Conductor McCarroll went to the superintendent's office and asked for an investigation. His report and the cash register in the car were examined and found correct, and, as far as the officials could learn, McCar- roll was not at fault. Albord Ennis, 21, married, son of re- spectable and honest parents, resi- dents of the town of Hopkinton, was arrested In Bradford on a serious charge by Chief of Police Thomas E. Brown, late Wednesday afternocon. The ticket office at Bradford was entered Tuesday night and $66 stolen from a sealed envelope in a desk drawer. Rail- road Agents Curran and Hanifan were notified of the theft and made an In- vestigation. Suspicions pointed to En- nis and the railroad agents called Con- | stable John Catto into the case. e went to the home of Ennis in Hopkin- ton and invited him into the to of Westerly, telling Ennis plainly %that he was suspected of the crime. With the ticket agent, the two railroad ents and Constable’ Catto present, gmis confessed his guilt, but not un- after the officers produced incrim- inating proof. Chief Brown was sent for and he arrested Ennis and escort- ed him to the police station in Wes- terly. Thursday morning the young man’s parents visited him and urged him to tell the truth. Ennis declared he was innocent and that he had lied to the officers when given to understand that the payment of $66 would end the | matter, as he thought it better to pay the money rather than face trial, with its attendant expense and inconve- nlence. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ennis were keenly sensitive to the unfortunate condition and both expressed belief that their son was mentally unbal- anced and could not conceive of any motive to commit the theft as alleged. Subsequently there was a heart-to- heart talk with the accused, his father and Chief Brown, when Ennis con- fessed that he had stolen the money. According to his story, he had been employed for a vear and a-half as a telephone inspector in New York city >nd while thers contracted the habit | of gambling. When he left New York | and returned home he left a gambling | debt unsettled. The gambler, the il- | legal creditor of Eunis, came to Brad- | ford to collect that debt and threat- | ened exposure and bodily harm unless the debt was paid forthwith, FEnnis saw the ticket agent place money in the ‘gpyelope, saw him seal the same with wax, put the envelope in a book and place it in a drawer in the desk. He resoived to get that money and s2ve himself from exposure and his ; wife child, father, mother and sister from disgrace. FHe says that shortly after the theft he gave the moneyv to the New York gambler, who imme- diately disappeared. Ennis sobbed and ~cried during the recital of the smr,\-r“]‘{? of his erime and declared that he had | told the truth.

He said that his gambling while in New York was on horse racing and that one of his as- sociates was a police officer in the big cify. He declared that if he had decided to have the case tried on its merits and insisted ypen his innocence he could have received financial as- sistance from New York. He told va- ried and conflicting matters in con- nection with the crime and the police do not believe now that he has told the truth. Ennis was arraigned before Judse Oliver H.

It congests the entire body The results are colds, fevers, piles, headaches, and nervousness, with its accompanying indigestion and sleep- lessenss. There is only one thing to do, and that is to remove the troublse; and when nature seems unable to do it, outside aid is necessary. You will find the best of all outside aids a remedy that many thousands are now using for this very purpose, called Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Many hundreds of let- ters are received by Dr. Caldwell tell- ing: of the good results obtained, and among the enthusiastic letters is one from Lieut. G. W. Vaughn, of 623 W. North St., Decatur, Ill. He is 72 and has had a bad liver and stomach since he came out of the army. He says he tried everything, but never succeeded in getting permanent relief until he took Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pep- sin.
