Ridgefield Purchased Auto in Boston—Proved to Bé Car Stolen from Providence Dealers. A seven passenger touring car, pur- chased in Boston, at a garage, some weeks ago by George W. Ridgefield of Elmville, was seized here Friday as the property of Pugh Brothers, auto- mobile dealers, of Providence, and ‘aken back to that city by representa- tives of the concern. The car was stolen from Pugh Brothers last fall and no trace of it was obtalned up to the early part of this week. A line on the whereabouts of the car was finally obtained through the motor vehicle department at Hart- ford and the Providence fjrm ‘immedi- ately took steps to arrange for the seizure of the car from ‘out of the possession of Mr. Ridgefield, who is an_innocént victim of the transaction. . Mr. Ridgefield bought the “car as any other buyer would make such a purchase, paying $800 for the machine and running it down to his place in this town under numbers furnished by the garage. He did not register it un- til this week, as the weather and roads have not been well suited to comfortable automobiling, so it was a decided shock to him to have his car seized as one that had been stolen last fall. It is also indicated that the Boston rarage people are entirely innocent of iny complicity with the person who stole the car, for, it is understood, they bought it from a man who represented himself as the owner of two cars, for sne of which he had no particular seed at the time he disposed of it. It was zssumed nere Friday that \fr. Ridzefield will be able to'recover Jis meney from the garage people and ‘hat they in turn will make recovery GET NEW KIDNEYS!

In the superior court here Friday, Mrs. May Alberfa Rice was granted an uncontested divorce from Trenor A. Rice, of Canterbury. Judge Webb heard the case.

Charles Guilty. Jury Finds Yarlane Not Friday, the jury in the case of Georgia Karpane vs, Charles Yarlane, commenced Thursday, brought in a verdict of not guilty to the charge against the defendant. The jury was out forty minutes. Miss Karpane, who is only 17 years of age, charged against the-defendant, that he was the father of her child, born in February of this year, and sought damages. Yarlane denied that he had ever been guilty of such relations with Miss Karpane as she charged against him. The jury’s decision in the case seem- ed to be based on the statement of Miss Karpane that she had never been intimate with Yarlane until such time a sthey came t olive in a certain house in the northerly part of Danielson, taken with the fact that the date of the birth of the child; would seem to indicate this to be very strange.
