The funeral party left Westerly for Putnam in a special car attached to the 12.15 train for New London,. where transfer was made to the Norwich and Worcester branch to Putnam. The bearers were Dr. James M. Crowley, Eugene Dris- coll, Thomas F. Lenihan, Joseph. H. McGuinness, Thomas Cowley, James Shea, John Keegan and Louis Cella, Jr. Burial was in St. Mary's ceme- tery, Putnam. . Referring to Rev. Father O'Leary's good work whey, in Bristol the Hart- ford Post says® Father O'Leary was for many years assistant pastor of St. Joseph's church in this city under Rev. M. B. Roddan. - He came here in 1804 and remained here until 1899. During his stay in this city Father O’Leary made many friends among the residents, both Protestants and Cath- clics, and was beloved by all who knew him. Because of his modesty and dif- fidence and his distaste for honors and publicity only those friends who knew him Intimately guessed the full mag- nitude of his scholarship and attain- ments; although all recognized Hhis priestly zeal and sanctity. Rogers E. Trainer, a young clerk in the town clerk’s office, was of the opinion that there could be no serious defect with the new police cells and, being of mechanical turn, he investi- gated. He noticed that in painting. the painter had poked the end of the brush filled with paint into the lock sockets on the door jambs. This paint had become so hardened that it pre- vented the lock bolts from entering 0 the end of the sockets, and in con- 'sequence the locking was not rigid and the bolts could be easily sheved back and the door opened. Mr. Train- er picked the paint from the sockets and the mystery was solved. Tke cell doors were then locked securely and it was shown that a prisoner once in a cell was a prisoner until released in the legal and regulaj way. There is nothing the matter with the steel cells in the new Westerly police sta- tion, in case Thomas Pratt is recap- tured. - —— William M, Blake, a former well known grani an of Westerly, died Saturday at his home in Chicage, in his seventy-fourth year and burial will be at River Bend, the hody arriving here today. Mr. Blake came to Wes- terly from Scotland and resided here for thirty-six years, removing to Chi- cago three years ago. He is survived by a son, Willlam J. Blake, and a daughter, Margaret Blake, of Ohlcago; also a brother, James, of Westerly. and a brother and two sisters in Scot- land.
