FOR STEALING DIAMOND
Former Barre Clerk Arrested al
Montreal.

Barre, June 25.-Chief OF Police
David Faulkner has received tele-
gram from the detective department
of the Montreal police that willard
Mckinley, man who Is wanted In this
city for alleged grand larceny had
been arrested there and was being
held for the arrival Of the Barre police
and that he had consented to come to
Barre without extradition. The arrest
grew out OF a complaint made to Chief
Faulkner some three weeks since by
s. H. Forsyth, who had valuable
diamond ring stolen from his office.
Mckinley was for time employed
at Mr.. Forsyth's Office and suspicion
pointed to him. Chief Faulkner COM
municated with the police of Halifax,
where 1t was thought that Mckinley
might be, and also with the police OF
Montreal. The local police head re-
ceived communication from the Hall
fax police, stating that Mckinley had
been there and was wearing dia-
mond ring. which might or might not
be the one that he is alleged to have
stolen In Barre, and that he had left
for Montreal. The Montreal authori-
ties were then communicated with,
and Mckinley was spotted by de.
tectve and placed under arrest.
