Chicken Thieves.

Newtown officers have captured
another gang of thieves; Newcomers
this time. Some days ago, the chief of
police at Fairfax, West Virginia, sent
word to Deputy Sheriff Glover that two
boys, Walter Wilmot and Elmer Fem
wick, suspected of completely in Il bur-
glary there, were in Newtown.
From the photographs and description
sent, there was no difficulty in finding
the boys, one at Tax Collector George
III. Botsford's, the other near Botsford
Hill. While acknowledging their iden-
tity, they disclaimed all completely in
the crime. Sheriff Glover and Landlord
Houlihan arrested one, however and
Constables j. III. Blackman aud James
Kelly the other. While conveying them
to the lookup, u remark was dropped
which lead Sheriff Glover to think that
Henry Wilmot, who has occupied the
Elan Tongue place, was guilty of steal
ing chickens from Mr. Alexander Smith,
who lives on the turnpike and is known
as s'Chicken'' Smith and Wilmot was
arrested on this charge. Meantime,
telegram to Fairfax brought word to let
the boys go and they returned to Bots
ford. They are willing to be taken to
West Virginia, but have no money to
pay their fare.
When Henry Wilmot was brought into
Judge Beecher's office and placed on tri-
al before Justice G. w. Dayton, he said
that he and Cordelia Judson, who lives
at his house and whom, he says, is his
cousin, went to Mr. Smiths on the night
of February IL. He stood on the bridge
near the house, while she went on. In
about Is minutes, she reappeared with a
chicken under her shawl. After hearing
Wilmot's story, Prosecuting Attorney
Beecher sent him TO the lookup and sum-
moned Cordelia Judson. Her story was
that she stood on the bridge while VIII
mot got the chicken. ON the evening o.
the 18th. 1t also appears that the poul
try was sold in South Britain. The Jud
son woman denies that she is any rela
tion to Wilmot and says that Wilmots
, wife is in State prison. Her husband
she says, has also been in State prison
but is now in New York with anothe
woman.
Mr. Alexander Smith was placed on tn
# stand at the Monday evening hearing i
Judge Beecher's Office and his testimon
|. and the peculiar manner in which it wa
Z given convulsed the court and the
spectators who crowded in. Mr. Smit
testified to the loss of his chickens, the
value, etc. He also spoke of the none
which was stolen from its hiding plac
beneath the mattress OF his bed and say
that he knows where 1t went, althoug
Ir there is, as yet, no direct evidence COZ
Meeting either Wilmot or Mrs Judso
y with its theft. Though but 80, IL was
heavy loss for the old gentleman.
Probable cause was found against bot
p Wilmot and Mrs Judson aud they wei
bound over for trial at the May term
/. the Superior court. They were taken
Bridgeport, Tuesday morning. Wilmot
es bond is $500, while that of Mrs Judse
is 5000.
= It IL understood that Wilm0t has e
pressed willingness to plead guilty
" burglary. Should he do so, State Alto
ney Fessenden will probably issue benz
warrants and dispose of the case at ono

Mary T. Kelly.

Last weeks BEE briefly noticed the
death of Miss Mary L. Kelly of Zoar,
who was but is years old. She had ever
been DESTROYS of teaching and, after at
tending the district school at Zoar and
Parsons select school at Sandy Hook,
On her return, she secured the position
of teacher at her home school, Zoar, and
remained nearly two years.
A hemorrhage, last Spring, caused her
to rest for several weeks, but she recov-
cred rapidly and again began to teach
when the school opened in September.
Only eight days elapsed, however, before
she was attacked by second and more
serious hemorrhage and compelled to
give mp all school duties. All that love
but to no avail; consumption had laid
its hand heavily upon her and her young
life was soon closed. Recognizing heI
sad condition, she was fully prepared to
meet her angel brother and trusted in
Him who doeth all things WE'LL Though
weak and emaclated, she suffered little
pain and was, even until the day of hel
death, able to be about the house and
occasionally ride out.
