The Flanagan Case.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Rogers of
Pawtucket served warrant on William
III. Gooding at the instance OF A. w.
Quigg, agent of the New York Life In.
| surance Company, in suit for damages
to the amount OF $1,000. Henry Fales
furnished surety in the sum Of 81 900 for
Mr.. Gooding's appearance for trial. 1t n
alleged that nearly four years ago Mr..
Gooding took out an insurance policy In
the New York Life through Agent Quigg,
which was not accepted, Mr.. Gooding
refusing to pay the premium.
An agent OF rival company, it is said,
| got Mr.. Gooding to sign a paper which
stated that he (Mr. Gooding) had been ac-
cepted as risk by the New York Life
Insurance Company without passing Q
medical examination.
Then, it is said, James b. Gooding,
brother of William, told something about
this. Mr.. Quigg heard Of it and immedi-
ately brought the suit.
A LIMERICK Liquor Case.
This morning in the District Court Mary
A. Foley was before Judge Goff charged
with keeping liquor for sale and for SELL
ing to Special Liquor Officer Samuel Hark.
ness about two weeks ago. Thomas w.
| Robinson appeared for the defendant and
| the prisoner admitted sufficient evidences
to convict and appealed.
Pay of the Police.
The correspondents of the Democratic
papers have been accused of charging the
Board of Firewards with extravaganza
because they voted to raise the pay of the
police from!s60 month to f15 week, an
increase of $50 year. The TRIBUNE has
not accused the Board OF extravaganza In
that matter and has never said a word
against the increase in salary for tho
police. The members of the police force
in the Fire District do more work than
the Pawtucket officers, they cover mora
territory, do more extra duty and do not
have the accommodations such as the
Pawtucket police enjoy. The police are
not too well paid. IL the members Of the
force are honest, faithful officers, and the
people have the assurance that they are,
some of them having served for years and
the new men now on the pay roll have
proven themselves worthy wearers Of the
blue, they should receive a fair remunera-
tion for their services and s15 for seven
days work is none too much. The matter
has been fully stated before in these coll
umns that formerly the police got the
half fines as the special officers do, but
now all fines are turned over to the Dis.
| trict and such fines amount on an average
| 81 200 a year. SO that it is money saved
for the District to raise the pay and take
the fines. The TRIBUNE has never op-
posed the increase and.never will when it
is for faithful public servant.
The Flanagan Larceny Case.
This morning the trial of Margaret
Flanagan was heard. Miss Flanagan
was charged with the larceny of soma
clothing, linen and picture to the va.uo
OF about s6. The particulars have been
given i'm the TRIBUNE.
Miss Flanagan said she bought all tha
goods at different places and that she did
not come from Attleboro with Officer
Keene voluntarily. She said the officials
threatened to put the handouts on her
and then she came. The court found her
guilty and fined her s. and costs.
