THEFTS AT GRAF TON.
Station Robbed of the Zinc
and Copper Used in
the Batteries.

For the past month number of pet
ty thefts have occurred at the battery
house on the Boston & Albany rail
road in Grafton, which might have re-
suited in great loss of life had the
thieves been allowed to continue their
work unmolested.
Thirteen batteries stored in signal
house at Grafton have been robbed
twice during the past month of the
zinc and copper which is needed to
keep the batteries in working order.
Yesterday morning Inspector Fisher,
Special officer Michael Deedy and Of
ficer Brady arrested Vincenzo Checkele,
Frank Pegano and James Gheckele, af-
ter finding the copper and zinc battery
furnishings in their possessions, and
they were booked at station 1 on a
charge of breaking and entering.
The first theft occurred Saturday,
April 8, and Special officer Deedy, who
is employed by the Boston & Albany
railroad, was put on the case. The bat
teries are stored in a house built es-
pecially for them and are used for
running the signals at that section of
the road.
Very often the batteries are used and
red lights thrown for engineers to run
their trains along cautiously as other
trains are coming in opposite directions
little behind time. Should the bat
teries be out of order at any time and
several trains be running behind time
in that section loss of life would pro-
badly result from the deranged signal
system The men relieved the bat
teries of their filings the first time at
night and from that time until Friday,
April 2S when the second theft ocEur-
red, the place has been watched off and
on but the men were not caught in
the act. Monday the local police were
put on the case and Inspector Fisher
made a round of the junk shops looking
for the zinc and copper.
Yesterday he found so pieces Of zinc
and Is pieces of copper at Abraham Ed
inburg's junk shop on Plum street hid
den away in a big bag of rags, belong
ing to the three men arrested.
They will be taken to Westboro to-
morrow for trial as the theft occurred
in the section of the state which comes
under the jurisdiction of the Westboro
court. Both times the copper and zinc
were stolen, the lock on the battery
house door was wrenched off.
