Attorney Brown representing the sccused stated that Freidberg was over sixty, and had-three chilwven living. He was now living in Moosup. Freidberg had mever been in court before and had guaranteed that the money value of the stolen cloth would be paid, a friend furn- ishing the necessary amount. Counsel believed fhat a jail sentence of thirty days would #e great enough. State's At- torney Searis stated that this sent asked by Attorney Brown belittled the erime committed and a longer sentence ghould be given. Judge Banks then sen- tenced Freidberg to four months in jail Angello Lenave, of Moosup, pleaded gullty to the charge of taking a roll of eloth from the U. 8, Finishing Co. plant in Sterlin®, the cloth being valued at $45. The theft took place June 19th last, and about 100 yards of cloth valued at 45 cents per yard was taken.. Attorney Samuel B. Harvey repreggnting the state explained how Lenave and his two com- panions sold this cloth and that two were sentenced during the last term of the criminal court. The defendant, althéugh taking part in the thefts' of the roils, did not share in the proceeds of the sale. He read from the statutes showing that where theft of goods did not total oyer $50 but was greater than $15, tife sen- tence should be not more than $100° fine nor more than & months in jail, or both, He recommendedhat a fine be given and this part of the sentence be carried out. A iall eentence should also be given, judgment suspended and the defendant placed in charge of the probation offi- cer. admitted his g nd the state reofrm- atory. was the yace for him. As to the | statement about the two companions hav- ing their cases nolled, he believed that good authority was the cause. Judge Banks sentenced Green to the state re- formatory, stating that in his opinion the reformatory would tend to make Greén change his ways rather than to make a confirmed criminal of him.

These birds are natives of much higher latitudes than this, and its appearance here is probably due (like the great - Arctic owls which have been seen in this state) to the ex- treme ¢old in the north; alto to the ease with which any bird travels with a #torm. Some years ago oOne Wwas seen here and shot by a local hunter. It was purchased by the Agassiz chapter and was mounted by a Providence taxidermist and oan now be seen at their rooms in the Slater library. It 15 to be added that in all the varied bird visitors from the north that have visited Jewett City since this distinguish- 64 visitor eamo, 30 years ago today, there have been the evening grosbeak, the goshawk and the northern owl, but mot once have lo¢al bird lovers seen a great northern shrike.
