IN JAIL AT ANSONIA

After forsaking his wife and family
here in Bennington several years ago,
and consorting with another woman,
Oliver e. Green and his paramour
we're brought up with a round turn at
Ansoria, Conn, last Thursday night,
and both placed under arrest In
court, Green pleaded guilty to charge
OF abandonment, and was bound over
to the superior court for trial. The
woman, who gave her name as Addie
Dual, was charged with improper COO
duct and, admitting her guilt, was
fined 81 and costs and given thirty
days in jail Bonds in the case of
Green were fixed at $500, which he was
unable to furnish, and both the accused
were taken to Jail.
The arrest of the pair was brought
about by letters sent to Chief Ellis by
Greene's wife. from North Bennington.
The first OF these was received some
weeks ago, the writer stating that she
had heard that man named o. E.
Green, whom she believed to be her
husband, was living at the Hotel Day
ton with woman said TO be his wife.
Mrs Green asked for information on
the subject and as a result OF the cor
respondence that followed between her
and the officer, the chief and Sergeant
I4arkin paid a visit to the hotel.
Green and the woman were found oc-
cupying the same room, and were TAX
en- to the police station and locked up.
IN her letters to the police, Mrs Green
stated that her husband had abandon
ed her five years ago, leaving her to
struggle along with two young chill
dren, boy and girl, as best she
could. How Mrs Green learned that
her husband was consorting with the
Dual woman, and that he was in An
sonia and living with her as his wife.
is not known. Mrs Green stated the
the woman had lived with other men,
and she asked the police to get hold of
both her erring spouse and his para
mour and keep them under lock and
key until she couli get to Ansonia.
In court, Green admitted most of
the facts as stated by Mrs Green. He
said he had good reasons for leaving
his wife, and had sent her money since
going away, for her support Prose
cutting Attorney Ford said the case was
a most aggravated one. Green thought
the court should be easy with him, but
Prosecuting Attorney Ford saw no
reason why man who had deserted
his wife and children, and taken up
with another woman, was entitled TO
ask the court for any mercy.
Green, the police learned, bad bee IN
living 10 Ansonia since last February.
At the hotel the couple were known as
man and wife, and their arrest caused
considerable talk at the hostelry.
Green gave his age as As years but
looks younger. The Dual woman said
she was 80 years old She presented
quite a neat appearance in court, but
said little or nothing and seemed glad
when the case was over and she was
led back to cell
Green took his arrest somewhat
philo' sph cally and before being taxi
en- to New Haven jail, played severa
tunes on the roller organ. Both the
man and woman we're we'll dressed and
the latter wore gold chain around
her neck TO which was attached what
looked like gold watch or locket.
Green will be we'll remembered In
this section as he has figured consid-
erably in police courts here. lie was
indicted several years ago charged
with committing burglary at the res
idence OF Mrs Skinner at North Ben
nington when $500 in gold was taken
but at the last term of county cour
the case was practically closed as sc
well were the tracks covered that bu
little evidence could be found against
him.
The woman arrested with him under
the name of Addie Dual was know
here as the common law wife of Georg,
Haynes, who is row serving a sentenc,
in the state prison for robbing Rut
land railroad freight cars at Nortl
Bennington. Since leaving here tn,
couple have resided in BrattleborC
and several towns in Connecticut be
fore going to Ansonia.
