Probable cause was found, and the prisoner was bound over to the April term of the superior court It was learned that the cottage had been en. tered about a year ago last December A silver teapot, other articles of sll- yer, a suit of clothes and number of ether things were missing. In formation on the job was supplied by the woman known as Fluffy Rufhes, who was brought by freight from Monson by Dana Gary and the state police officers some time ago. This information led Levi Gary and State Officer Hurley to visit Locke's house in Eastford with a search warrant. Articles at Locke's house were posi- lively identified by MT. Gary, but the holder claimed that he had bought the things of another man. The woman claimed that there were three men concerned in the break. Two of them were in favor of burning the cottage down to conceal the theft, but the other man would not give his consent While the loss is not large, the case will be pushed in order to discourage this form of burglary.
