WALLINGFORD HAPPENINGS
Ia W IND ORDER LEAGUE TIID
SATURDAY, NIGHT.
Switch House In Yalesville and the Red
day-Queer Work In North Haven.

ants from New Haven, paid a visit to
the borough late Saturday night and
about midnight with Patrolman White
formed into two parties and made a
raid upon the Switch house, located in
Yalesville, near the depot, and the So
called Red House on the west side of
town, both well known houses of i'll re-
pute. Detective McClaire had charge
| of the Yalesville expedition and when
the house was reached found only the
housekeeper and the cook who were
lingford and placed on the upper floor
OF the lookup. White and party had
better luck at the Red House, and cap
| tured Title Shields who runs the place,
and four girls; also five men. All the
prisoners were brought over to town
and the men placed in the lookup and
the women in the court room. They
will be brought to trial this morning in
the borough court. The warrants for
the raid were signed by Judge Judd,
but the raid, it is said was under the
auspices of the Law and Order league.
Spoilers were getting in their work
| Sunday along the line from North Ha-
ven to Wallingford at the bicycle rests.
AT one place in North Haven they sue
| ceeded in getting glass of lager and
went away. An hour later they re-
| turned, and one of the men claiming he
| was a constable from North Haven
and showing badge on his coat lapel,
| agreed to settle, and no questions ask
ed, for $50. The proprietor gave him
$40 in cash and check on the First Ma
tional bank of Walingford for 500. The
so-called officers took the money and
departed. Upon advice of friends, who
learned the facts later, the victim of
the blackmail decided to stop payment
of the check and put the case in a law
yer's hands. The so-called officers had
no papers or warrants and had no au-
thority to accept money to settle such
a case which by law must be brought
before the proper authorities for dis
posal.
The bicycle rest" visited yesterday
was that of a Mr.. Lineweber, who re-
Gently came from New Jersey. He pur-
chased the farm where he now lives and
has kept the bicycle rest as side issue.
He is now engaged in the wholesale
fruit and vegetable business in Meriden
and is about to sell his farm and re-
move to that city NJ
1t was learned last evening that the
constable who called at Mr.. Lneweber's
house yesterday was Alpheus Larlip,
North Haven constable. Mr.. Lineweber
said last night that the constable told
him that if he would pay the $50 he
could sell all the beer he wanted to
without molestation.
Mr.. Lineweber has decided to stop
payment on the check this morning and
has placed the matter in the hands of
Attorney Danaher, of Meriden. What
action will be taken is not known.
Mr.. Lineweber says that not long ago |
Deputy Sheriff Beach, of North Haven, |
came to his house and found there six
cases of beer. He says that the dep |
uty sheriff took three of the cases and !
told him that he could settle by paying |
to Mr.. Beach $35, and that if he paid |
this amount there would be no prosecu-
ton. Mr.. Lineweber was in Meriden |
at that time and he further says that
when he heard that the deputy sheriff |
had been to his house he telephoned to
Mr.. Beach and it was over the tele-
phone, he says, that Mr.. Beach offered
to drop the case for $35. A check for
the amount was sent and when Mr..
reached home he found that
the other three cases of beer had been
taken.
An attempt was made last night to
reach Mr.. Beach by telephone The
person who answered the phone call,
however, said that Mr.. Beach was i'll
and could not be seen, and had been
Ill for several days with a malarial at
tack
