Edmund Hall Of Woodbury., was arrested
at the Centennial charged with stealing n
pair Of slippers which we're found in his
pocket. He was admitted to bail in the sum
Of Eve hundred dollars, which was immeji-

F u hearing to-day, but there is no prospect Of
serious results to him, as u n0lle pros will
be entered. The belief among those who
know MIR. Hall best is that this is "put up
job" and the slippers were put in his pocket

idea that he is guilty Of theft. If it was
done for joke, it was mean joke, and not
at all creditable to the erpetrator'-Mont-
pelier Journal.
