He was jailed, so it is said, so that he might be avaflable for fedcral officers if, after investigation, such action was deemed Jjustificable. Getehell is not a Ger- man. He was born in Maine, mariied in Pawcatuck, has resided there for, many years, and was émployed as night watehman at ‘the Cottrell plant for a Jong time, and not a man can be found in the big plant who doubis the loyalty of Getchell. True, he talks considerably, especially after indulg- ing in intoxicants, and might have been inveigled into saying things that he did not mean, but those who know him best declare that he is without malice and is loyal and harmless. It seemis that Wanch, the complain- ant, wa& afrested for non-support, soon after or about the same time, that he charged Getchell with mak- ing “seditious utterances” Getchell had sold Wanch some furniture and was unable to colieet the Salance due. He went to the Wanch home fo make a collection, and it was on this visit that the alleged seditious talk oc- curred, so it is alleged. It is possi- ble, that it was not from patriotic mo- tives that the charges werq miade. An investization by the prosécuting at- torney will probably show that a mis- take was made in accepting the com- plaint of sedition. although there may have been iustification of the charge of breach of the peace.
