HATCH & BELLOWS
FINED $50 EACH
For Selling Railroad Tickets Known
by Them to Have Been Stolen
Conductor Fined sS0O-Ryder
Not Sentenced.

County court took Il recess Tuesday
until July 10 when il will convene IN
the county clerk s Office in Brattleboro
to complete the unfinished court bust,
ness of the session. 1t is expected
that the adjourned session VIII last
but few days as the docket is pretty
well cleared. q. A. Bowtell, the Bos'
ton a. Maine conductor who was
charged with larceny of tickets from
the railroad company, was fined 500 ana
costs which he paid. His sentence was
not pronounced until the case against
Ii. A. Hatch and IL. n. Bellows,
charged with selling tickets known by
them to have been stolen, had been
given to the jury, States Attorney
Bacon moved for sentence in the case
against DR.. j. NJ. Ryder Monday, but
sentence was suspended on statement
of counsel for the defendant that he
probably would be able to secure bail
IN the sum of $1,000 within n short
time.
The case against Hatch and Bellows
was called Thursday and continued un
til Saturday afternoon. The witnesses
called by the state were A. ii. Thomp-
son, L. l.. Shedd, Deputy Sheriff Nj. 4.
Davis, j. n. George and six or seven
spoilers, both men and women, IN his
employ, and five conductors on the
Cheshire division of the b. n Nj. rail
road. The witnesses for the defense
were Messrs. Hatch and Bellows and
q. A. Bowtell. Both Hatch and Bel
lows testified that they had purchased
tickets of G. A. Bowtell in good
faith, paying the same prices that they
paid Others and that they had no in
timation that things were not as they
should be. Mr.. Bowtell testified that
he had sold tickets to Hatch Il Bel
lows; that he had never offered tickets
which he had not come honestly by UNI
til the middle of last February; that
he had never in any way intimated to
Hatch Il Bellows that the tickets he
offered after the middle of February
were different from those he had OF
fered previous to that date. The state
argued that inasmuch as a large mum
Der of tickets, all from Mr.. Bowtell S
route, were offered since the middle OF
February and the fact that he was a
conductor should have aroused the sus'
picions of the brokers, and in short
that the circumstances were such that
they amounted to constructive knowl-
edge on the part of the brokers that
the tickets had been stolen. The case
was given to the jury at 3 p. III. Satur-
day and not reaching verdict that af-
ternoon they were locked up over Sun
day and Monday morning reported a
verdict on the 18th count OF the in
formation, the tickets described in this
count being the most of those taken
when deputy with a search warrant
visited the store two weeks ago.
Tuesday each was sentenced to pay
a fine of $50 and costs. The case may
60 to the supreme court on exceptions.
1t is reported that on the first bal
lot the jury stood 10 to in favor OF
conviction on the entire 10 counts, the
final verdict being compromise.
Hatch l. Bellows were defended by g.
Ii. Williams and 7. +. o 'Brien of Bel
lows Falls and A. +. Schwenk of
BrattlebOro.
