 The report that Jerry Fitzgerald had rollers placed under the block in which the store of W. N. Flynt & Sons is located, with an idea of nov ing it up to South Hadley Falls. is without foundation. On the other hand. it is a fact that he did pretty we'll considering he had other duties that kept him busy much of the time. Things have been missing at the store for some time, but there was 10 direct evidence pointing to Jerry He had been sleeping in the store for a num- Der of years to guard against other burglars, and had eloquent opportuni ties. He was to leave the employ of G. 0. Flynt Wednesday and watch was kept, ona him. Tuesday night, as suspicion had been aroused in some way Mir. Moves. who was watch ing hfCA saw him take something from the stock early Wednesday morning. He reported what he saw,, and a search was made of the baggage Jerry had packed to take away with him. Packed with other things were found a ham, four yeast t-cakes, five oranges, two pair overshoes. three pair of rub bers and pair of gloves. The gloves had the firms private cost mark on them aud were easily identified He put up good front at first, but finally weakened and confessed that he had been taking things for a number of years. He agreed to give up every thing he had taken, and l.. O. and G. 0. Flynt went with him to South Hadley Falls, where he has his home. Examination of the premises showed that he had been doing a wholesale business. Among the things found there were 100 neckties, one buffalo robe, lady's fur coat, three pair of portieres, two carpets, 50 rolls wall paper, snow shovel, a. steel shovel, hinges, door sets, spring balances, hammers, nozzle spray and small articles of hardware, four or five over coats, four or Ave suits of clothes, 15 pair trousers, 10 suits of underwear, 30 shirts, 25 pair of stockings, six pair of gloves, one pair rubber gloves, eight pair of shoes, six or eight pair oversboes, six pair rubbers, l 5 pounds of tea, 10 pounds of coffee, baking powder, cereals, canned goods and many small articles. MT. Fitzgerald agreed to pack up and ship the goods to MonsoE. Lyman and George went up again Thursday, fearing that in the haste of packing he might over. look something, and this proved to be the case. He omitted about a horse load. Most of the goods are now back at the store, and they make an imposing array. Jerry has wife and two sons. The boys are bright. manly fellows, and regret was felt in pushing the case on their account. The defendant is about the last person in town to have been suspected of dis honesty. He was thought to be per. fectly trustworthy. He did not drink or smoke and was very careful in money matters. In fact, he has laid by quite a little money. He was an extra good man in his business and posted. Whether the goods stolen represent She bulk of W hat has been taken. or whether he has disposed of some things, is not nown. From the nature of some of the things taken many are inclined to believe that he is 8 little of, and perhaps not fully accountable. The goods already recovered will amount to at least $500. He was taken into custody yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Studley and Officer Murray.
