nORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1920 & WESTERLY | Beginning at 1.380 Friday merning and continuing until 5. a dozen private resi- dences were entered and shots were fired by the burglar at a pursuing milk- man. The burglar was eventually ar- rested by Policeman Champlain of the regular force, assisted by Speciy Officer Thompson, at Bradferd, and by eight o'- clock, the quitk-acting burglar was in a cell at the Westerly police station. Some Job for a small town police foree. The burglar gives his name as Russelt Williams, age 24, residence 404 Wash- ington strest, Providence, a reamer by ‘oc- cupation and last employed by the Build- ing iron cempany in Providence. He de- clared that he was mot a professional burglar, and with the exception of a term in the reformatory at Pottstown, Pa., he never served time for any of- fence. He says he was released from that institution six years ago, has been married five years and has a wife and two children in Providence. The first intimation the police had that a burglar was at work in the town was a telephone call at 1.30 from the home of Robert Meikle, and Sergeant Ferguson and Policeman Curtin respond- ed. While these officers were investi- gating a call came from Robert Barr at 2 o'clock, and at 2.30 still another call came from Albert Spargo. Al] this time the policemen were busy patrolling the section, trying to get a line on the burglar but without success. At about 5.30 Arthur G. Wheeler, Jr., of the Hinckley Hill section, came into Dixon square with his milk delivery au- tomebile. Fe was told of the burglaries and requested to be on the lookout for the burglar, and it he happened to-get on to any clue te notify the police. As Mr, Whepter was about te deliver milk at the Derringer house in High street, he saw a man on the veranda. As Wheel- approached the man jumped from the veranda and ran and Wheeler pursued. They ran between the Beringer house ana the residence of William Pike into a garden in the rear, Williams throwing away a biack bag he carried. The chase continued tq a point between the Dwight Rogers ant Mrs. John Crandall resi- dences. During the chase, and whon Wheeler was about to close in on him, Williams fired two shots at his pursuer but fortunately the bullets missed the mark After his arrest, Willlams teld the pe- lice, that he saw them several times in automobiles while they were looking him up and knew it was all off with him d that the getting of him was only a ratter of a short time, After eluding his pursuers, Willlams atarted for Bradford where Policeman Champlin had been sent. On the highway he was seen to dodge inte some bushes by the roadside and then take to the railroad track by Frank Sulllvan, who notified the policemen and Specia! Officer Thompson that the man they were seek- ing was headed toward Bradford. Will- lams say that after the automobile had passed him, the one operated by Mr. Sul- livan knew he would be nabbed hefor he passed the next station. This bellef was strengthened when he walked by a tew- er house, feeling sure that his coming would be flaghed ahead. As be neared the statien he saw twe men walk out onto the track and look down in the direction where he was, and concluded they were waiting for him. They did not have fo wait long. said Williams. He save he made no effort to ¢lude these two men as he felt sure he would be in police custody before he could reach Providence, as he knew the ce of Westerly were on his trail Williams says he wanted to get his wife and two children to Pittstown, Pa., and did net have the money to pay the railroad fare, 2o he came to Westerly to get the monev. He says he arrivea n Westerly by train between 9 and 10 o'clock Thursday night. and that it was his first visit here. He knew nothing of the layout of the town and selected the section for his werk haphazard. It ie rather queer, he sald that he worked in such a small gection, and was a bit sur- prised to find that when the milkman 1 him he was in about the same he commenced his work. The houses visited by Williams, and sty taken from each, as reported e police, are as follows: Vose, 10 Chester avenue, $25 and two auto ke Albert Spargo Schoel street, $1. Charles Rollins, 58 Schoel street, $71.50, ring valued at 5 es Rae 55 Cross street, $4, Willard, 55 Cross street, $50 and ring valued at850. sander Aitken, Cross street, $3. corge Rae, 38 School street. two di- rings valued at $400 each and a g Whitehead, 11 Spruce street, “n %20 postal savings bonds, two $100 nds of same issue. These were in a tin % which Williams broke open and put ag. = says he called at other houses, scared off by people moving house. He added that a mau ‘watchful ear,” can hear the flightest movement in a house during the stillness of the early moming hours. It was subsequently learned that Wil- llams made attempt to enter the resi- ences of Joseph L. Lenehan and Charles J. Butler Williams told the pellee whewe they could find the black bag containing his ®neak shoes and the stolen bonds, and they were found as indicated. The rest of the loot was found on his psrson. He said %4 of the money belonged to him d the rest to the other people. Willlams insisted that he worked alone, gained entrance by removing window screens. All the stolen property has been recov- ared, and, in addition the police have two unclaimed ladies’ watches. He in- dicated where a screw driver he used could be found, near the Westerly Lum- ber company plant, and it was found there. Willisms persistently denfed that he had a revolver, and therefore did not shoot at the milkman, He declared that he was willing to tell all he knew of his ramblings of the night befcre, and tell he truth, and was ready to make oath that he did not have a revolver. Just before noon, after some grilling, he ac- linowledged that he did have a reveiver and had thrown it away with his flash light in the rear of a building in the Westerly Lumber yard and in the vieinity of & granite cutting shed. Pelice officers made a search but without suceess. It was planned to make another aeareh, and if the revolver and flash light is not found, Williams will be taken te the place to locate them. Police Chief Brown communieated with the Providence police department con- cerning Williams, and learned that he came from Boston a few weeks since and boarded with Benjamin Byron at 404 Washington strest. He was without funds, and left his place of abode at 7 o'clock Thursday night, saying that he was going to New York. The Providence police believe Williams has been doing small thieving jobs in that city, and thereby got money enough to pay his way to Westerly and had $4 left. A colored man, 22, a prisoner at the Providence county jail for robbery ana assault, made his escape Thursday while at work on the state farm. This man's oame is Richard Stewart on the jail rec- ords. Thinking that Williams and Stew- art might be the same persen, Chief Brown had a telephone talk with jail officials. He was informed that the man beld in Westerly was not the escaped eonviet. Williams will be arraigned at a spe- {pial session of the Third distriet court to with a i B e MM A it adiack B N T B A 0 S R0 DS sl ot ISR RO AT be held today (Saturday) and the case carried t0 the superior court for Wash- ington county. Whatever the bond may be, Williams cannot furnish, and he will be committed to jail until presented to the grand jury.

An attempt was made to break and enter the Central theatre, early Friday morning, the would-be intruders evi- dently bent on getting the cash the safe contained. An empiove had some work that could not be done until after the evening performance. After finishing the work he concluded to remain in the theatre during the night. He heard a noise in the rear of the theatre and investigated. He was about to lift the latch of a rear door, when he heard a cutting near the latch from the outside. He then opened the door and saw t men retreating up the bank to the rail- road track. The men had split the threshold, probably expecting fo pry open the door from the bottom. Failing in this, they began cutting a hols through the door, when detected and hurriedly quit.
