Completes a Sentence in States Prison for

/
Burglary Only to Be Arrested by Sheriff
Wilkins for Grand Larceny-Will Be Tried
in September,
Elroy Kent who last week completed
a sentence in states prison at Windsor
for burglary was brought to Brattle
boro Saturday by Sheriff \. W. j. Will
kins and taken to Newfane to await
the September term of court when he
will be tried for larceny. Kent escaped
from prison last January but was cap
tured in Manchester through the eff
forts of Chief of Police Hall. A story
of his career of crime was published in
the Reformer at the time of his cap
ture but another brief rehearsal of his
record may be interesting.
Kent is but % years old, but he has
record as burglar, and according to
his own story. he has been arrested 40
less than six times. In 1896 he was SEN
fenced to two years in the house of
correction for entering the store of B.
NJ. Adams in Townshend. In 1899 a
house in Putney was burglarized.
Sheriff wilkins traced the burglar,
whom he believed was Kent. to Bur
lington. where he lost the trail While
in Burlington. Sheriff Wilkins learned
of burglary in Milton. On dark
night. man was seen to enter cloth
ing store in that town. The proprietor
was notified and three men kept watch
of the store. Soon the man left the
store with some plunder and started to
run. but charge of shot in the back
brought him down. Mr.. wilkins iden-
titled him as Elroy Kent. He was sen
fenced to three years in states prison,
but escaped from that institution last
January. He came to Brattleboro and
stopped with his cousin, W. G. Kent.
During the night he searched his
cousin clothes, found Sl2 and depart
ed with it, The case was placed in the
hands of Chief of Police Hall. who
traced Kent to Holyoke, Mass, thence
to Manchester, this state, where he was
found in the cellar of his mothers
house. He was brought to Brattleboro
placed under bonds in the sum of $500,
but in default of bail was taken to
Newfane Jail Governor Stickney
learned of his arrest and ordered him
to the state prison to com
plete his sentence.

sherman's Postmaster Charged With Rob-
bing the Government.

Drury \. Sherman, formerly post
master at Sherman, small village in
Whitingham was arraigned at Rutland
yesterday on a charge of violating the
United States postal laws by making
false returns of stamp cancellation to
the government auditor and by using
postage stamps to buy merchandise.
He waived examination and was bound
up to the federal grand jury at Wind
sor in May. In default of Sl500 bail
Sherman was committed to the county
Jail. He had been making falsifica-
tions for over a year. The village of
Sherman was named after the post

ran the only store in the village, land

since 1856.

tended to upbuild and broaden and
deepen community life, in short his
hearty and cordial disposition to lend
hand" wherever needed-all have
left an impress of depth and useful
ness such as is given to few lives to
chisel.
Faults and failings he had, like all
of poor humanity: but average him up
and scarce are the characters that
would show so large balance Oh the
right side. Large was his bounty and
his soul sincere. His blood was one
of good red corpuscles and the impul-
siveness with which he dashed into
Richmond at the head of a troop while
Gen. Draper was yelling orders to stop
showed itself in a hot
blast of temper: but when he had had
time to cool off, never was there
iuster or fairer man in his views or
one reader to undo an injury In all
the strenuous tussle of life, himself at
times the target of profuse abuse, look
back and think how almost never you
heard George Hooker ever say an un-
kind or unworthy thing of anybody.

] Illustrative of his personal kindness il
may be said that once when there wa.
occasion to look it up there were found
"a different notes in a single booR
/ which he had signed 70 aid others
I There was not bit of the coward ir
/ him morally or physically. The an
cestor. John Hooker, bishop and mar
tyr, bound at the stake in 1555 with
protracted suffering because of the use
of green wood for fagots. gave the
world one of the most impressive spec
tacles of fortitude ii ever witnessed
In his descendant spoke the same spirit
radiant with the rollicking humor that
never deserted him in any situation.
when from the bloody field at Cold
Harbor where 30 per cent. of his bri-
gade fell. he was borne, shot through
again and again, his reply TO anxious
comrades was, 'All right boys: I've
been travelling with this show for three
years and this is my first benefit. = In
Col Hooker's genealogical tree indeed
are to be easily seen the sources of his
composition and quality The first of
his ancestors that history knows was
the MARTYR bishop above alluded to.
Another was the famous Bishop Rich
ard Hooker of the 10th century. whom
Hallamwell styles, "the finest as we'll as
the most philosophical writer of the
Elizabethan period and whom all crit
les rank next only to Shakespeare. Bacon
and Spenser among Englishmen in his
deep-reaching intellectual influence.
Other famous Englishmen of the fam

great hotanist. and his son, DR.. j. D.

Thence through Ireland came the
American branch of the family includ-
ing Thomas Hooker, one of the first
ministers of Cambridge. Mass. one of
the founders of Connecticut and often
called 1.-The Luther of New England. "
From that family besides Fighting
Joe" Hooker of the Civil War. came
John Hooker, the grandfather of the
Colonel. who settled in Londonderry
about a century ago.
His inheritance. intellectual and
moral, from such a line has appeared
in all his life work. whereof are many
instances, like his superb management.
so much praised at the time, of the Gar
field memorial exercises in Congress,
and the. phenomenal success he has
made of our Valley Fair But besides
unusual executive ability, he had, in
different form. the extraordinary felic-
ity of expression of the great Bishop
Richard and the Timber play of his wit
was seen on every occasion that afford
ed a chance and the numberless anec-
dotes of it will be heard for genera
tions. But more than that. it is not
too much to say that in all his public
service, though with jollity and with /
out pretense, his earnest endeavor was
to approach the great Bishops ideal of
law. that its seat sis the bosom of .
God, whose voice the harmony of the /
world -
Truly as we lay away one of the best /

ever had. we may believe:
Peaceful. tender
