Clarence Chandler, apparently a
model young man OF Bennington, who
had for several years been in charge
of the Harry Willoughby meat market,
was arrested Oct. 21 by Sheriff Wilson
on the charge of embezzlement, the
sum specified in the writ being $1,000.
Willoughby, who recently purchased
the market of c. c. Thompson, sus-
pected that he was losing money and
set a watch for Chandler which re-
suited in evidence enough to warrant
his arrest.
Ellis g. Warden, acting as chief of
police in Brattleboro, Oct. 81, arrested
John Moore of Worcester, Mass, for
intoxication about midnight and on
reaching the lookup was assaulted by
his prisoner while another man, Peter
Deyo, came up behind and struck the
officer in the eye. Warden turned to-
ward Deyo and Moore struck him in
the other eye, knocking him down.
The officer was quickly on his feet and
started for Deyo. but the latter ran
away. Moore started to run but the
officer grabbed his club and knocked
him down. Moore started again and
was knocked down a second time be-
fore he was subdued. Deyo was ar
rested again Oct. 23,when arragined he
waived examination and was put I'M
der bonds in the sum of $500 for his

Thomas & Heaton, Montpelier law
yers, went to Elmore the goth to de-
fend a man by the name OF Albin Pill
bin, who was alleged to have shot a
deer out of season. The trial took
place i'm a little schoolhouse between
Elmore and Wolcott and created the
keenest interest in that locality, the
whole town Of Elmore turning out to
witness the proceedings. Joseph Mar
shall. the chief witness, had reported
to the game warden that he had seen
Pilbin on Monday night, Oct. 10, with
a deers leg on his back and this led to
his arrest. Upon cross examination
the defending attorneys drew from
Marshall that it was pretty dark, he
(MarshalD was not certain that 1t was
Pilbin he saw, that he was not posi-
tive what he saw might not have been
a stick of wood on the mans back in
stead OF a deer's leg, and on this the
case was won, saving Pilbin a 500
fine.
John II. Belden, Jr., formerly of
Dandy, has been arrested charged with
being short in his accounts several
hundred dollars. For long time MIR.
Belden was in the employ OF Frank f.
Lewis of Pownal, resigning his posi-
ton about three weeks ago to take
one, as it was supposed. in Benning-
ton. After leaving Mr.. Lewis the lat
ter was satisfied that there was some
thing wrong and began a systematic
examination OF Belden's work and
found the shortage. A warrant tor
his arrest was issued and Deputy Sher-
if Norwood of Pownal went TO Dan
by where Belden was located and ar
rested him, returning with him to
Pownal. The deputy allowed Belden
to 90 to hotel for his dinner when he
went to his own home. When he re-
turned Belden had disappeared and
was already across the line into Mas
sachusetts. He returned, however, for
the hearing at Pownal and gave bail
for his appearance before the grand
jury in June.
Charles F. Tulley. young postoffice
clerk at Bellows Falls, was arrested
Friday for robbing the mails. For
over a year his personal habits
have not been good and in September
his resignation was asked for and
since then he had been unemployed.
Reports OF letters lost there or in
transit were made and an investiga-
ton brought him under suspicion.
The specific charge, to which Tulley
confessed. was the theft of a letter
containing a note and $50 in money
sent by Geo. NJ. Cory of Saxtons River
to the Bellows Falls National bank
Aug. 81. Tulley destroyed the note
and used the money to pay his bills.
He was indicted and bail was placed
at 5000, which his counsel. IL. ID.
Ryder of Bellows Falls, furnished. He
made promises of reformation and
gave his word TO abstain from the use
of liquor. The promises were all
broken and he has been intoxicated
almost constantly since his release.
His bondsman learning of his condi-
ton refused TO continue on the bond
and his surrender followed. Tulley
was taken to Rutland Oct. 26 and
given in charge of United States
Marshal Chapman and the case will
probably be tried at the February term
of court.
