DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS DANIELSON Alvin L. Bradley, much wanted burg- lar and jail-breaker, was brought back to Brooklyn during Thursday by Captain Robert H. Hurley and Officer Howard Eliott of the state police and flurld:;"' afternoon he was locked in thé same cell from which he escaped on November 23. His chances of getting away again, all may be assured. are exceedingly stim. Bradley was brought to Brooklyn from St. Vincent's hospital at Bridgeport, where he was taken a few days ago after e had been knocked down and injured by an automobile as he stepped off a trolley. His ankle was sprained and his leg bruised and he sustained some minor abrasions on the head. He was not seriously injured, however, and would have been able to leave the hos- pital within a few days were it not for CASTORIA Fer Infants and Children in Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the ;mnmd A.

Moosup Div. the fact that Sergeant Frank Verellf of the state police recognized him as he was passing through one of the wards. At thé jail, Bradley taiked freely of his wanderings since his escape. After mak- ing his way ouf of the jail with Frank Mason, who was also being held there. they headed west and the following night slept in the mill boarding house at Eag.e- ville. This was on Sunday night. On Monday night they went on to Williman- tic. where, according to Bradley, Mason went to the cellar of a house in what Is known as the Stone Bow and dug up about $100 in cash which he had huried in a stocking and which, also according to Bradley, was part of the loot from ® break that occurred at a store in Willi- mantic and which Mason is suspected of having been implicated in. Bradley also surprised the state police and jail officials when he informed them that when he was searched after his ar- rest in Putnam and later when he was searched upon being committed . to jail that they overlooked over $400, mostly large bill, which he had sewed in the in- ner lning of his vest. He had this money when he escaped from fail and with the $100 that Mason dug up in Willimantie they were well fixed for funds. Getting out of Willmantic they made thelr way. to Springfield, where they sep- arated. Mason going toward Worcester and Bradley heading west for New York state, where he spent some time in dif- ferent cities and then drifted down to New York, going from there to Philadel- phia and then on to Pittsburg.- Later he made his way back to {oringfield and then to his home city of Worcester. where the police hd been on the lookout for him from the time of His escape. = From Worcester he took a run down to Prov- idence, where the police also are inte- rested in interviewing him. then to Fall River and from there to - Bridgeport, where the combined carelessness of him- self and the driver 'of ~ flivver landed him in a hospital .and eventually back In jail.

This was one of the “big” news items of Thursday ‘in Putnam. The cider, which |} now packs a kick like that of an army mule, fell into the hands of the police during a Saturday night raid . conduct- ed here. several weeks ago. Wright was | haled into court charged with reputa- tion. He was fined on the reputation count, but decided to contest the destruc- tion of his cer. which was seized ana taken away hy the raiding officers. The hearing to determine whether the cider should be declafed a nuisance and order- ed destroved came up before Judge:M. M. Geissler in_the city court Thursday morning. Prosecuting :Attorney Ernest C. Morse anpeared for the state and At- torney Arthur G. Macdonald represented | Mr. Wright's interests. Mr. Morse introduced a communication from a state chemist to whom sampfes of the cider were sent for analysis and this report showed that the different barrels of cider ranged in-aleoholic con- ent from 4 and a fraction per cent. to 5 and a fraction. The cider was seized December 11, and. Attorney Macdonald contended that the tests for alcoholic content were' fiot made wntil two weeks after the cider was seized, 8o the report couid not be re- garded as accurately showing how much alcobgl the cider contained at the time it was taken from and out of Mr Wright's possession: that the report did not definitely establish that the cider was fermented at the time of the seizure. - Attornsy Macdonald further argued that no specific intent to eell -the cider had been shown .and that it is not con- trary to law for ome to posses even fer- mented cider so long as it not offerea for sale. Judge Geisler ruled that” the hould be returned to Mr. Wright. The barrels of the liquid therefore will be returned at the expense of the city. As no one appeared to ciaim the grain alcohol and other intoxicants that were seized in other raids made on December 11, the court ordered that these be de- cider son escaped from jail at the mil board- ing hous¢ at Bageville. Sradley had toid the officers of a “chewing match” that took place ai the boarding house on the night that he and Mason siopped there. 1t so happened that Roche and Daley were there on the same night. They emembered the “chewing match” and the | fact that tWo.men came in and gog rooms, though they did not realize at tn etime that the newcomers were the escaped pris- oners. Bradley and-his wife and her brothers will be arraigned in the superior court at Willimantic next Wednesday, it has been | arranged. | In the meantime due care wiil be taken at the jail ¥ see that none of them get a chance to escape. Ufficers Wil now concentrate their efforts on getting Mason into custody again. He engineered the escape in which Bradiey figured and on | his own account made his second escape from the same jai] and by the same method within a perid of a few years. The recapture of Bradley is regarded as a piece of real luck. Senator Archibald Maecdonald, of this district, expressed Thursday his willing- ness to accompany a group of Killingly men that he suggests shouid include the town representatives in the.general as- sembly. tne selectmen of the town and other citizens who- are interested to in- terview State. Highway Commissioner Bennett relative to. the construction of the stretch of ctate highway leading through this town to Little Rest at the Rhode Island border. Senator Macdonald believes this to be the proper move before taking any independent action such as may be receiving consideration here to bring abovt the speedy construction of this badly needed stretc of highway. Thursday afternoon the bedy of Mrs. | Mary Wojtowicz, 22, wife of Joseph Woj- towicz of the White Row, was brought here from the state sanatorium at Nor- Norwich, where she died. in charge. of Undertaker L. E. Kennedy. Mrs. Wojto- wicz had been a patient at the institu- tion for some time. Mrs. E. H. Keach will h.ve the mem- bers of the Civic federation at her home for a meeting. this afternoon. As vagrants, Patrick Reche and Them- as Daley, weil known to the locl poiice, were before Judge W. F. Woodward in the town court Thursday morning. They | had dsked for lodging the night before. were givén that and a jail sentence for good measure in the morning, and not to thie rregret.
