He asked the court to bind the accused over, Attorney Ehrlich made a plea for the accused. Probable cause was fourd and the court bound Mokus over to the crim; inal court. FRUIT TFI’E\'ES AT WORK IN ORCHARDS That fruit thieves are again at work in Connecticut is suggested by reports from various parts of the state that or- chards have been robbed by persons who visited them in automobiles. Farmers in Connecticut have suffered from depre- daticns of tbis character in the past and that experience has created the impres- sion that fruit thieving has been re- sumed. Thefts occur in the nignt when the members of the farmer's household are asleep and they are conducted so noise- lessly, that many times not even the vigi- lant watchdog is aware of the presence of the thieves in the orchard. The first intimation that some of the victims have of their loss is when they see their trees in the morningg stripped of fruit. The fact that the robbery is done by persons who come. to the farm house in automobiles is supported by the exper- jence of some farmers whose elumbers were disturbed by neise from the autos and who had only time to rush out of their houses to ses the autos containing the bags of fruit being driven away.
