Henry Bailey of Calais, who was
persuaded by his counsel on April ID
to plead guilty to the larceny Of about
hundred dollars worth Of household
articles from the house OF Mrs. Laura
Davis, was sentenced the 10th to not
/ less than three years and not more
than four years in states prison at
/ Windsor. The burglary case against
him was mol pressed. II was stated
that Bailey had always borne a good
reputation for honesty. In fact he had
been very scrupulous. At one time
he walked mile and a half to pay
back two cents he had been overpaid
In making change for some kerosene.
He had insisted all OF the time and
even now Insists that he is innocent.
As a result OF the search of his house,
however, it has been developed that
this Davis larceny or burglary is not
the only one he has been connected
with. Two of Bailey's brothers have
developed a suicidal mania, and Il IS
suspected that he is kleptomaniac.
