 Tuesday in Torrington. was held in
 $I,5OO bail by order of Judge Ralph
 Wheeler in the superior court yester
 day afternoon at 4:3O o'clock. As in
 the case of Mdrsh, Attorney Kennedy
 appeared In a motion for bail. He
 said that Marsh has been unable to
 md bail and the prospect was that he
 would be unable to get it and conse-
 quently would have to remain in cus-
 tody.
 Prosecutor Kellogg replied that in
 view of the penalty. six months in jail
 up to hve years in the state prison. he
 thought the amount imposed in lne
 case of Marsh would suffice in this
 case also Indeed, said he. in view of
 the serious character of the crime. he
 considered five years in the state
 prison very light punishment. More
 over, in view of the accused having
 furnished $2,5O0 bail last spring. MT
 heiiogg thought he should be able to
 md $1,5O0 bail now. And then he gave notice to Mir Kennedy that at l snort calendar next Friday he will
 ask that the cases be assigned for nearing as soon as possible, certainly
 ourlng the present term of the court
 MT Kennedy said the accused would De here for trial. If for one moment
 he thought otherwise he assured the
 court he would not ask for q reduction
 oI pail He greatly doubted, however,
 1T ne would be able to prepare the case
 Tor this term. He reminded the court that the state had the advantage of
 him in that respect, having possession
 or all the evidence since the trial Re. turning to the question of ball, he said
 mat cases as serious as this, and often
 more so, have been released on bail of Sooo. vandemark is innocent now and
 he snail be innocent until a jury de
 clares him otherwise MT Kennedy saw no reason why the highest ball
 should be asked. If bali is put so 1 nigh that it cannot be obtained. the law might as we'll make the crime al- ieged an unbailable crime. If Vande- mark committed perjury. he asked,
 what Kept him here or inAthis vicinity | slnce! Gould he not easily have gone ] away? ! ct instead of going, he re- 1 mafned under the eyes of the sheriffs ] and the law. Rail was imposed as in Marsh's case, $1,5OO.

In brief. the story is as follows: The gold ring and watch were taken from Miss Arbs's room while she was sleeping on the night of January l2 It was necessary | to get into the room. The door was open and the window was down. but | not locked. It was found closed the following morning. 1lat morning McEvoy took ring to William Possner. a secondhand clothing dealer on Bank street, and got 16 cents for 1t. Me- | Evoy said he got only cents, and that | he borrowed the other 10 cents. The ring was identified by Arbs and his daughter as the latter's. Nothing has been heard of the watch Possner ac- qiainted the police and a week later McEvoy was arrested in Waterville Vi McEvoy said he came from Water vile on the afternoon of January 12. about o'clock He had been paid off and had SIT. He bought some things and then began drinking. About 10 o'clock he started for home from saloon on Meadow street and while crossing Mill street was set upon by two men, who knocked him down, beat him, took his hat and coat, hie goods and all his money. He spent that night with a friend named Nc Cabe on Meadow street. Next morn ing he met an old friend named Philip Gunner, who gave him the ring with the advice to get drink on 1t and lie took 1t to Posgner rather than raise the necessary price for the drink in the saloon. Gunner gave him the ring to wipe out debt of 30 cents which he gave Gunner the night be- fore to get bed.
