Roscoe and Barney Patterson and An
drew Murray were arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Cooley, assisted by W. II. Carroll,
at the local Central Vermont station about
1890 o'clock Friday morning, charged with
breaking and entering Car with the intent
OF stealing beer that WAS being shipped to
Milton. The hearings in the case were
held before Justice j. A. Burleigb in the
village hall Friday and continued through
the day and evening. Grand Juror Dale
prosecuted, l.. @. Moody appeared for the
Patterson boys and George Morse for Muir
ray. Thre have been several cases of
stealing recently in the vicinity of the sta.
ticn. The officer and his companion were
on guard there on this occasion for some
reason which they decline to divulge but
admit that the capture they made was q
surprise to hem. AS they testified that
Roscoe Patterson was the prime mover in
the affair, his brother remaining on the sta
ton platform and Murray following only az
far as the car, Barney was discharged and
Murray held under $50 bail to appear
before the grand jury at a later date.
Roscoe's defense was that recently several
Cinnamon have come over the line from
10 do De- N.1-a
here for Boston-which Is said to be true
and that he and his companions were lying
in wait to see if there would not be a lot OF
them to go through that night. The fact
that when Roscoe was caught in the car be
had in his hands bottle and tunnel, which
he told the officers he got at home and also
that he entered the car to get beer, caused
Justice Burleigh to hold him under bonds
OF $500 to await the action of the grand jury
in September. George Patterson, father OF
Roscoe, became surety for the amount. 1t
Is not believed Roscoe's notion was to steal
for the object of gain but boyish prank TO
obtain some beer as the average boy would
take apples from wayside orchard.
