sight. On Feb 10 their case will come up In
the Superior Court in Greenwich. Sam Suther-
land is to appear this morning at o'clock
before Judge II. W. T. Hoyt in the
Town Hail. Deputy Sheriff Dayton was
engaged yesterday In serving subppnas upon
witnesses in this case. They will testify that
Sutherland was at home oil day Monday when
young Ward Waterbury was kidnapped. That
won't help Sutherland much, though. for In
Connecticut an accessory before the fact In a
crime like this Is tried as a principal. and Is
equally guilty in tho eyes OF tho law.
Waterbury and Mccain were in adjoining
cells yesterday afternoon when the writer Wis
tied tho jail. Each could hear every word

Then Waterbury denied emphatically that
he had ever threatened to kill his young
cousin. lie said Ward went with him willing
ly. and that neither he nor anybody else had
thought OF harming him.

Judge Hoyt said no thought Connecticut
would not give UP Waterbury or McCann to
