Edward Vealey, who was employed at the plant of the Bradford Dyeing association in Bradford, was before Judgé Oliver H. Williams in the Third distriet court, Friday, charged with the theft of lumber to the value of £35, the pfopérty of Charles P. He- recting buildings Vealey, who pléaded guilty, said he came from England seven years ago, and had been emplaved at Bradford time of his arrest, when he was dis- charged. He declared this theft was the only blemish on his character, and could not understand just why he did it. He said the realization of the crime had been a severe punishment to him and brought undeserved dis- grace and depression t ohis wife. Town Solicitor Agard told the court that the act, or acts of Vealey were premeditated, as the lumber had been stolen piecemeal by Vealey, who used it in the construction of a garage, painting the work as it pro- gressed in the hope of prevénting identification of the stolen building material While there was no mitigating eir- cumstances; the man keenly felt his situation and realized the possible and perhaps deserved punishment, which inflicted must be borne in part by his innocent wife. Theretore, the solici- tor said he would not urge the court for jail sentence. Vealey was fined $25 and costs which he paid. James Mollonson, accused of steal- ing a block. tackle and falls, and a hoisting jack, from the George C. Moore mpany, changéd his plea of not gyilty ‘to nolo. His counsel, At- torney Roche, pleaded for leniency for the accused on thé ground that his client took the articlés without con- sent of the owner, but with no inten- tion of stealing them. He intended to return them, but this he failed to do, Solicitor Agard stated that Mollon- son while in the employ of the George C. Moore company, stole the block, head of the house that's all that is necessary.
