pHELAN,s STORY WAS FALSE.
An Innocent Young Man Placed
Under Arrest For Robbery.

An Innocent Young Man Placed
Under Arrest For Robbery.
At an early hour on the morning of
Sunday, July 90, man giving his name
as William Phelan accosted Officer
Dean on Grand street and COM
planned that he early .h in the might night
cutter, employed in RoXbury and had
arrived in Waterbury on the 8 o'clock
New England train. When near the
lumber yard at the foot of Grand street
he was assaulted by unknown men and
beaten into insensibility. Six hours
later he recovered consciousness and
found that his watch and $40 in money
were missing. Officer Dean conducted
Phelan to the station house, where he
told substantially the same story. One
eye was cut and blackened and he had
the appearance of a man who was pretty
well "done up"
For two months the police have been
quietly working on the case ana yeSter-
day afternoon John Mccarthy, a ma
chinest employed in the Farrell Foundry
and Machine works at Ansonla,
was placed under arrest by Officer
Dodds and brought to this city,
charged with committing the as
sault and robbery. Mccarthy formerly
worked in this city and bears an excel
lent reputation. He declared that he
| was innocent of the crime and in very
short time produced evidence enough to
sho " that not only was he unjustly de-
tanned, but that Phelan had not been
assaulted or robbed.
On the night in question Phelan was
under the influence of liquor and few
minutes before IL o'clock was elected
| from Bank street saloon, after receiv-
ing black eye in fight. Nothing more
was seen of him until he told his tale of
woe to Officer Dean at 3 o'clock Sunday
morning. BY that time he had become
sober and told a straightforward story.
| When Phelan was put out of the
| saloon he left behind him box contain
ing a quantity of wearing apparel. The
saloon-keeper notified him Il number of
times to take the box away and a few
weeks ago at the request of Phelan
John Mccarthy called and took the box
which he gave to Phelan. For some
purpose best known to himself the latter
placed his watch in the box with note
reading something like this: Here is
the box and watch taken from Phelan
you will never see the money. he
then returned the box to Mccarthy with
the request that as soon us he, Phelan,
had left town, it be sent to his cousin,
an East Main street dressnaker. When
Mccarthy was about to leave town for
AnGonia he gave the box to district
messenger boy to be delivered to the
lady. She notified the police of the
note in the box, and the result was the
arrest of Mccarthy. AS soon as the
tangled story was unraveled he was re-
| leased. The police would be pleased to
i see Phelan once more.

THAT rRAMwAY LAYOUT.
Taxpayers Prepared to Protect Their
Rights.

The Connecticut Associated Press
sends out this story under Waterbury
date Waterbury capitalists and tax
payers are beginning to hunt for sup
posed African in a peculiar woodplle.
Almost before they know it the Water
bury and Naugatuck tramway company,
stands before them full armed, 1t still
looks innocent enough. but there is a
pretty general desire for formal intro
duction to the hackers of the company
first to relieve the feeling of strangers.
The company got its charter in one form
at the last legislature but it made no
noise about. Then 1t surveyed its
path from the center of Naugatuck
to the center of Waterbury,
through prominent streets and high
ways. The officers were announced and
the statement made that the head office
would be in Naugatuck. Two or three
Waterbury men and several Naugatuck
men are said to be interested in it but it
was certain that together they had not
enough capital for the whole enterprise
1t was sort of generally understood that
an outside concern was the power be-
hind the throne and thereupon the citi-
zens of Waterbury became chary.
The first to be tracked was Chapel
street in Simonsyille. According to the
tramway charter, the selectmen and a
III wv VA SAC SOii
mon council shall have all jurisdiction
in such matters, the -tramway company
to bear all expense. The selectmen
heard the protests of the Chapel street
porperty owners. They gave no deci-
sion but in some peculiar way inserted
into the call for the town meeting Octo-
Der 9Th clause calling on the town to
accept or reject the proposed layout.
Some of the citizens think they see in
this an attempt on the part of the un-
known power back of the tramway to
compel the town to bear the expense of
the changes. They are prepared to fight
the matter and also to cause the un-
known capitalists to make themselves
known if possible. This is only the first
step in the roads progress within the cir
cults of the town of Waterbury.

He Serves Travellers on the New
Haven II Derby Railroad.
Henry Warren, the active old news
boy, who serves the travellers on the
New Haven & Derby railroad. celebrated
his eighty-second birthday this week.
The only observance he made of it was
to deliver his papers as usual and receive
the congratulations of his friends. Mr.
Warren was born in Derby in 1903 and
was brought up there. He taught
school there thirty years and among his
pupils are now some of the leading men
in Derby and Ansonia. For twenty
four years Mr. Warren has been a news
boy. Eleven years he served the
patrons of the Naugatuck road and for
thirteen years he has run back and forth
between New Haven and Ansonia. He
was the first and only newsboy on the
Derby road. In twenty-five years he
has not seen a sick day, nor has he ever
missed a trip except during the blizzard,
and then only because the trains did not
run. He arises at $3.50 every morning
and retires at 8 in the evening. He is
active, full of fun, and as lively as some
of his old time school boys. He is bub-
bling over with good nature and re-
spends to every greeting pleasantly. He
never used liquor or tobacco.
