Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-04-03

l | the official mind of the police. Sherlff
 Rigney seemed to be in very good hu- nor. His smiles were so many they
 scarcely had room on his face. He
 was as communicative as usual, that
 is. he had nothing to say. He held an
 executive session with Detective Gillian
 in his office in the court house building l in the forenoon.
 1 Colonel Burpee was out of town and
 was not expected until this evening. Some of the strike breakers are leav- 1 ing town and some new hands are
 breaking in.
 A few of the strikers have found
 temporary employment, but are still ready to return to work on the cars at l a moments notice.
 An employ of the trolley company
 stated to-day that while the traffic on
 the cars during the day time has in
 creased considerably, there is very lit
 tie traffic during the night.
 Many of the strikers buses have l been taken off their routes, the Water bury Ice corporation, which owns the
 horses, having taken them for their I use, as the ice consuming season will | soon open.
 Frank Miller said this afternoon | that he expected to return to work as l inspector for the trolley company in a short time. During his sojourn in Hart ford he worked as driver on a team for a company in that city.
 Friends of Sheriff Rigney claim the l reward will be paid to him. He it was, " hn
 and shaped it for use in the courts. While some of the detectives were
 working on a north end gang Rigney
 was unearthing the plot in the west
 end. He claims he did it all alone.
 q. F. Lunny says he has been given
 unearned notoriety in connection with.
 the arrests of the strikers and others for the assault on the Waterville troll ley car crew. He says he has had
 nothing to do with the cases whatever.
 and because brother of one of those
 arrested happens to be in his employ
 is no good reason why he had any in- side track on the evidence It is pre-
 sumed MT Lunny's reportoriaI friends
 were anxious to see him get some of 1 the reward offered
 David O. Marsh, who was bailed out y last night, was seen this morning by a Democrat reporter. He said he ex- pected to be bailed out. but was pre- pared to make the best he could of the situation if nobody came ito the rescue. Like all the others, he didn't appear to
 be much alarmed about the affair and spoke like one who felt that he had nothing to fear President Barrett ,4. lJ,@ nT

 Some of the strike breakers are get ting a touch of the spring fever and | feel that they would prefer to spend | the summer in some other part of the country. so that in all probability
 many of them will bid goodbye to Wa terbury about Easter. 'Boss" Far Hey appears to like the place and may
 decide to take up a permanent resi- dence here, although there are people who claim that no matter what way | the strike goes there will be some big
 changes in the makeup of the trolley company's employees before things get I back to their normal condition After the trimmers went on strike. | lights would not allow the non-union 1 trimmers that were brought to town l by the trolley company to trim their l lights. It is said that they took this course rather than provoke any inter- ruptions to their business with the un- 1 ion men in their employ. It will be re- l called that in one concern one or two | men quit work on that account The
 other day, however, the non-union trim
 mers were admitted to some of the fac tories and now they are admitted to all 1 of them This explains why there are
 so many trimmers in the company's employ Before the strike eight men l did all the work.
 Three Waterbury men have joined l the ranks of the strike breakers. They are Charles Eggleston of Water vile, formerly employed at the New
 England Watch factory; Harry Bren- l nan of North Main street and an Ital- 1 ian who formerly resided in the Brook | lyn district The last mentioned, when The started to work q few days ago on l the North Main street line, told a friend that he was thoroughly familiar
 with the streets of this city as he had I lived here for fourteen years. Brennan started to work on Monday and is on
 the Oakville line. Eggleston went to 1 work this morning They are being
 paid at the rate of wages which was paid to the former trolleymen, who are now on strike.
 A fellow representing himself as a
 deputy sheriff created consternation i'll
 the Brooklyn district last night and if l half what he is said to have done be ] true it was fortunate that someone did
 not get into trouble with him. He I colIared people, on the streets and de-
 manded their names. followed men and I women into stores, held up two fellows
 on the sidewalk and got their names,
 and was starting out to find out who I lived in all that part of the town when
 someone called the attention of an off,
 cer to his conduct This is not right
 There is trouble enough in the commun- I ity now without having more made by
 men who are paid to preserve the pub l lie peace One of the police officers and several private citizens know who l fhe man is and if it can be shown that
 he is one of Sheriff Dunhams men, l the sheriff should give hm a leave of l absence until he gets from under the | weather
