 an itemized account of everything the trunk contained. Mrs. Clark is French lady and large part Of the goods were brought by her from France. Among these were many costly gowns, a very valuable large bronze clock on a base, every kind and description of cut glass, silverware, fine linen, etc. Then, in addition to this, there Was also large quantity of the same things of local manufacture and design. There were a number of handsome gowns which have just been finished and have never been worn; dress suit and other clothes belonging to Professor Clark; an oil painting, framed; some beautiful sofa cushions: a large number of books, a collar box, playing cards, opera glasses, a re- volver, and a hundred and one small articles O. silver and glassware. Be sides all these there was a very Valu- able silver tea kettle, on q silver heat CT, among the goods in the trunk. It is thought that $1,OOO is a fair estimate of the total valuation. Besides the goods belonging to Prof. Clark and his wife there were a number of things which look as though they had been stolen from some student. Among these are three fancy vests, white sweater with a blue flag on the breast on which are the letters IN. o. C."
 According to Captain Cowles, Carle- ton has made a confession and ac- knowledges the charges made against h jG full name is Charles Russell Carleton and that his home is in Portland, Ore. He says that he is seventeen years old, but the police say that he is at least twenty-five years old. He has a youthful appearance and is well spok- en. Carleton told Captain Cowles a story about his father having died in Portland about three years ago. Ac- cording to his story his father left quite fortune, but he was robbed of it by a dishonest agent, so he started out into the world for the purpose of mixing his own way. From a letter found on him the police believe that he stole an automobile in New York and came part way to this city in it. The letter is addressed to some girl in New York named Mabel" and Il the letter Carleton tells the girl that the automobile has broken down; that he is hard up" and asks that she send some money.
 As exactly as the police can find out, Carleton arrived here from New York last Monday afternoon. He engaged room at The Gibbons" on Meadow street and remained there until last Wednesday night, when he started his automobile trip to Hartford. The po- lice say that the original burglary at the Clark residence took pace on Tues day night and that he made two or three other trips there after that, leaV-. ing the front door open for the purr pose. The fact that he went up to the house in the automobile and took the trunk out of the, front door when many people were passing, is one of the most cold blooded" burglaries which has ever taken place ir this city.
 owing to the fact that Prof Clark and his wife wish to return to ossin- ing for over Sunday, the case will come up before the City court this morn ing and Carleton will undoubtedly ba bound over to the next term of the Superior court He does not seem to know anybody in town and no one has yet come forward to go bonds for him or offer him any kind Of assistance.
 Some of the valuable glassware in the trunk was badly broken, but the rest of the stuff was undamaged. Carleton told Captain Cowles that he intended to run the machine himself from Worcester Ito Boston. There he intended to dispose of the stolen goods ! and he then plahned to go in the ma chine to Portland. Maine, and there take a rest during the warm months, lie will, however, probably remain in Connecticut for several summers t1 come.
