CRIMINAL CHARGE.
4 -. /
ly been made against one Isaac Blanchard,
who ii Is claimed has lived in Barnard
ard towns adjoining, wandering about
the country pilfering from farmers and
others.
Blanchard is generally accompanied by
his wife and daughter, girl y Or IA years
old and one or two other women and il Is
said they frequently sleep in barns and
schoolhouses wherever and whenever
they can find an entrance unobserved.
Last spring he, in company with man
by the name OF Bailey Osmore, built
shanty of one room on land belonging to
Levi Blanchard in Barnard. Mr.. Osmore
has daughter that is a cripple from
birth, cannot stand on her feet and is al.
most helpless. There in the shanty with
only one room all these people have lived
so far this summer, Blanchard with wife
and girl and Osmore with his crippled
daughter, Mary, % years old.
Autut iouE Nttks ago MARY gave DlFln 7
TOT living child, the mother claiming
Isaac Blanc hard to be the father OF il. Mr..
Osmore and his pitiable daughter came to
Barnard and entered complaint to Grand
Juror John A. Moore. The crime being of
such serious character, the grand Juror
Immediately turned the case over to States
Attorney sargent, who made and gave
the papers to High Sheriff Spafford
with orders to make an immediate arrest.
Blanchard, hearing of the complaint,
kept In hiding and was not seen in the
day time. Tuesday night of last week the
sheriff, with deputies, Thomas OF Wood
stock aud Moore OF Ludlow and Grand
Juror Moore of Barnard, surrounded toe
shanty and with no trouble bagged the I
game. Passing through Barnard village r
little before daylight, they landed Isaac
in Woodstock jail to await the action of
the grand Jury next December. He
might thank his stars that the crime was
in a community where the
citizens are willing the law should take !
its course. No doubt this animal
should have been arrested for vagrancy I
two years ago, satisfying many who have !
been terribly annoyed by his conduct, {
also perhaps avoiding this calamity which =
falls on Mary Osmore. II would also have I
Sheriff Spa ford of a hard nights I.
