 Daniel l.. Freeman, r. The vote on the license question was, No license, 13S For license, 65. This shows that our citizens appreciate the good order maintained under the no license system during the past year. While it is undoubtedly true that spirits are yet sold to some extent in violation of the law, the difference between i- cense and no license is apparent. The New York Times of yesterday devoted nearly column to detailed account of the depredations of 8 gang of desperadoes who have been making havoc with everything in general and post offices in particular since last Jan uary. The depredations, according to the story of one of the gang Ryan by name, one of the four surprised by Sheriff Van Deusen between this village and Ashley Falls last summer, two es- caping) date back nearly three years. During the past year alone they have burglarized 12 post offices and made three unsuccessful attempts on the Birmingham office The first impor- tant clue to this crowd of roughs was gained when Sheriff Van Deusen so courageously captured the pair near William Germans in the northern part of this town. The names then given, Richard Hadley and Frank Howard, are aliases, but the officers have discovered their true names. Pictures of both are in the New York Rogues' gallery and they are old hands at the business, al though Hadley has wife and five chil- dren at his home in Bridgeport, where he has supposedly been leading an hon. est life for four years, or rather up to within the last nine months. He and his companion (Howard), both now lodged in the county jail at Litchfield, are old New York cracksmen and have been tough customers to meet. Paddy | AEJo on euu o1lu II al1oy, dl1ttS I dfuoy, are now in safe- keeping in New York city. When Ryan was confronted with proofs of his guilt, he made clean breast of everything, and tells quite ar interesting story. It will be introduced in the hearing to-day Wednesday, be. fore Q commissioner. Their crimes have mostly been perpetrated in this and Fairfield counties, but their cap ture of booty during their reign amount ed to many thousand dollars. Pos offices alone have suffered to the tune of $20,OOO. The trial of Hadley anG Howard will be called at Litchfeld next week, and we sincerely hope they will get the full extent of the law. The country may justly congratulate itsel upon so important @ capture and please give our deputy sheHSf all due honor.
