Over.FOnd of veal-A Calf Theft Case
"A Weary Fugit1ve's Return-A
Free Man Once More-Genera1 News
of the Town.
Early last September Hugh J. Quigley,
Horace Barney and Allen Russell, none of
whom claim to belong to the aristocraey of
the borough, were on drunk, and during
that interesting period contracted an in
clination for veal, and to satisfy that de-
sire went over to East Wallingford near
the Air Line railroad and stole calf from
Street Williams. The result was that
Quigley and Barney were arrested and
were each fined 81 and costs. Quigley was
fortunate enough to have the wherewith to
settle up, while Barney had to 60 to Jail to
work out the fine and costs. Allen Rus
sell, who was equally guilty, eluded arrest
and skipped out of town, and since that
time has managed to keep out of the
clutches of the law by many hairbreadth
escapes, but finally tired of being fugt-
tive from justice decided to return to Wal
lingford and throw himself upon the mercy
of the court, and Saturday evening ap-
peared before Judge Hubbard with 0. Il.
D. Fowler as his counsel and pleaded
guilty. Before the judge gave his decision
Prosecuting Attorney Harrison stated to
| the court that he had been in correspond
ence with an uncle of Russell's who had
| represented that his nephew was anxious
| to settle up the matter and that he was in
| possession of certain important facts that
/ would tend to criminate certain persons OF
another and more important crime, which
he would disclose, providing he could be
assured of getting clear himself. Russell
when questioned by his attorney, dis.
claimed any such intention and the matter
was dropped. Russell's attorney thought
that his client had already been severely
punished for the crime by his expert
ence in roughing it in avoiding cap
ture by the officers. Judge Hubbard re
marked that he had no doubt that tn
young man has suffered many discomfort
during the past few months of his way
ward career, but the law did not usual,
allow culprits to choose their owl
method of punishment and the fact o
the suffering already incurred would in n
manner tend to influence him in his disposition Q
the case, but as the prisoner had pleade
amounting to ss4:ss, which as they were quit 9t
| in trying to effect his arrest, would go ia
| towards offsetting his mistake in not standing
trial at the time the others did. The fine an
| costs, 81 95, were paid by a relative and Rus
