rancy, declared that his arrest was a
grievous error, as for months he had
been employed at Warren's quarry and
had just come into town to spend
Saturday evening with friends when
a policeman ran him in. Judge Fritz
hearkened to the tale and then ap-
piled the hand test, finding that Mr..

there was no complaint on file nor was
Policeman A. Jewell, who made the
arrest, present to attend to the mat
ter. The Judge then delivered a few
remarks that were not eulogistic of
the way in which the case had been
handled by the police. Later in the

retary Westcott of the Eagles. Wad-
ham is under $4,000 bonds. He will
be arraigned this morning.
