Embezzler Roberts Bound Over to the
Superior Court.
Michael McCabe was brought into the
station Saturday evening, drunk. Yes
terday morning Chief Egan allowed him
to depart. In the afternoon he was
brought in again. This morning he was
fined IS and costs. He astonished the
clerk by drawing three or four ten dol
lar bills from his pocket and settling his
account.
Daniel Cullom. a youth 81 years old,
drank enough whiskey yesterday to
make him ugly and then went to the
| home of his sick sister aud began to
break up things generally. Officer Pagan
arrested him. Judge Bradstreet gave
him 30 days and costs on each COM
plant.
In the case of George w. Roberts for
embezzlement from the Smith & Griggs
manufacturing company, Attorney
O'Nell entered a demurrer to the COM
plant. Judge Bradstreet overruled the
demurrer. State Attorney Terry was
satisfied with the present bond and Rob
erts was bound over to the next term of
the Waterbury superior court under
bonds Of $1,000. Roberts was present
in court and did not have that careworn
look his first appearance in court pre-
sented. He laughed and chatted with
his bondsman and seemed not at all af-
fected by the trouble which lies before
him. Many are of the opinion that the
bonds should be increased but if the con-
Germ which is the loser by the embeZZle-
ment is not over-anxious to increase the
amount, then the community at large
can not complain.

LABOR TO ConrnR
A Convention to be Held In Hartford
Thursday June "a.


Thursday June 80.
A call has been issued for q conference
of the representatives of all the labor or
CARNATIONS of the state to be held in
Hartford, Thursday, June 90. Invita-
tions will be sent to all local assemblies
Of the knights of labor, all branches OF
the several farmers organizations and
trades unions in the state tfor the
purpose of comforting on all matters of
all interest to the workers, and to devise
some method whereby the farmers, the
manufacturers. the merchants and the
laborers of the state may be united into
one powerful organization to make COM
mon cause against common enemy;
and that we may be the better prepared
to work unitedly for the people, and the
continuance of our free institutions"
The basis of representation will be one
delegate from each organization having
100 members or less, and two delegates
from each organization having more
than 100 members in good standing. 1t
is not known how many delegates there
will be in the convention. The knights
of labor will send thirty or forty. The
the call by sending a good representa-
ton. There is much uncertainty, how
ever, as to the attitude of the various
farmers organizations. Their response
to the preliminary call for the addresses
of secretaries was not very encouraging
and it is doubtful if many farmers will
be found at the conference. 1t is hoped
by the promoters of the conference
that it will result in better men being
put forward for Office and the raising Of
new issues in the state campaign. The
movement is not intended to be partisan,
though it is expected to be political if
the attendance at the conference is any
thing like what is expected.
