Martin, who has been sick at his
home on West Main street since his
return from Providence, where he
was robbed of $2,700 last week, had
recovered sufficiently yesterday after
noon to give an account Of his expert
ence in Providence. He says that
the newspaper story that the robbery
took place on the train and that one
of the passengers who pretended to
be doctor was very attentive to him
was all made up" He was feeling
bad when he got off the train and
went into the smoking room Of the
Providence depot to sit down. He
became faint and the next thing he
knew the train announcer and
policeman were raising him up and
the policeman was telling some fell
low to "clear out" He was sent to
Waterman's stable in hack and was
there placed on couch where he
remained half an hour Or more. He
heard Waterman telling some of the
men that he had received telephone
message from the depot that he Mar
TIM was down and out" in the wait
ing room with tough gang around
him, and that some one ought to look
after him. Then, Mr. Martin says,
he thought of his money for the first
time, and, upon investigation, he dis
covered that 1t was gone. He had
over 5000 in trouser pocket and
the rest of the 50, 700 was in an inside
vest pocket. The trouser pocket was
cut open and the inside vest pocket
lad been torn. The chief-of-police
was notified and three detectives were
sent to the stable, to whom Mr. Martin
told his story.

Grounds Are Flooded.

Attorneys Stokes and Blansfeld
have brought suit for the st Georges
Lithuanian society of Naugatuck
against the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad company for
damages of $4,000. The society
owns the property known as Linwood

er near where the railroad company
made improvements. Last summer,
it is alleged, the company, in the
course of its operations, pushed the
river bed eastward. Now, the society

$4,000 square feet Of the park is I'M

space of 1900 is effected. The
river intrudes distance of 800 feet

turnable to the superior court.
