The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-11-26

William White and Richard Freeman
We're arraigned on charge of horse
stealing and held until tomorrow in
bonds of $500 each, to answer. They
were brought here by Officers Parker
and Hammer Of Harvard.
They were captured in Breeman's
brothers home near GrOton at Z o'clock
last night, by the Harvard officers and
four officers from Groton. Hiram Gro
Yer of Harvard, who resides in the
West Bare Hill district, owns a steed
worth about SIS. But, poor as it was,
somebody entered his barn on Wednes-
day night and stole the animal. 1t is
alleged that White and Freeman are
the men. Freeman is a meat carrier
by occupation, powerfully framed and
strong as a bull.
Freeman said to the correspondent of
The Spy; They found me at supper
and they all Jumped ON me at once
They pointed four pistols at my head
and threatened to blow my brains out
Even then it seems that Freeman made
hard resistance, While White looked
on. Up to date, the prisoners have not
been able to secure bail. They will
have a hearing tomorrow morning.
Freeman will admit he was seen lead
ing horse, but will attempt to prove
that it was not the stolen horse.
The Temperance Associates have a
comfortable room ili the bank block

ment has had harmonious existence
ever since.
As measure of appreciation, the
ladies Of the union are going TO give a
banquet to the Associates in the room
Tuesday evening. Rev. w. w Jordan
Will make the occasion additionally en-
joyable by telling about his trip to Eu-
rope. AS the Temperance Associates

to include their wives.
