 Herbert o. Spencer of Enfield Street has been arrested and is held 1T $5OOO bonds for the superior court, charged with embedding money al an administrator of an estate. Local interest is felt in the case owing tc the fact that Spencer married Miss Zella Oolburn, daughter of MT. and Mrs. John Colburn, who formerly lived in the north part of the town. The young man is charged with is- suing bad checks, and it is stated that he drew 5000 from the Stafford Savings bank, which was on deposit in his wife's name. She had asked him to draw it and deposit it in a Springfield bank, which is nearer their home. It seemed all right on the bank book. but inquiry at the institution developed the fact that he deposited but $1O, and then raised the figures on the pass book by adding cyphers It is estimated that Spencer is about $1O, 900 to the bad, and he has made a full confession. The theory is advanced that he is mental ly unbalanced, as he has no bad habits, and was considered very exemplary young man.
