THINKS THIEF
 A ''DEFECTIVE"
President of a Corporation Favors Leniency for Man
 Who Robbed Him
BAKER GETS 4 MONTHS

Edward Baker was in familiar quar- ters today in the city court where he was charged with burglarizing the plant of the Housatonic Rubber com pany at the corner of Knowlton and Stillman streets. Baker has a long record, having served two sentences in States prison for similar offenses. One term was of four years duration. Yes terday morning about o'clock Pa troIman Ramsey and Flynn caught Baker as he was making his way across Berkshire bridge. He was car rying four boxes of nickel plated holders for billiard chalk. Today Jus tin A. Wilson, president of the Housa- tonic Rubber company appeared as the complaining witness, but seemed disinclined to press the charge against Baker, He testified that the inside doors leading to the offices were not fastened, and that the prisoner might have entered through an open window. The complaint was then changed to read simple theft instead of burglary Judge Wilder gave Baker months in jail and fined him-$50 and costs and told him he was lucky to escape be- ing bound over to the Superior court on the more serious charge.
 MT. Wilson's reason for being len tent with Baker is said to be that he believes him to be a defective, rather than a criminal. And one of a class of persons for whom the state should establish system of perma- nent detention not punitive in it's na- ture, but deterrent.

 London, Aug. 16.-If the British gov sernment consu1nates the contemplated purchase of the new Clement Bayard airship which was completed Satur- day, it will have an aerial fleet-built and in the process of building-of eighteen craft. ten balloons. three rigid dirigibles and five non-rigid dirigibles.
 The government has not yet single aeroplane but that problem will prob ably be solved by the adoption of the Wright machine. This depends upon the coming experiments of Orville Wright here. The government is practically under contract to buy a number of Wright machines as soon as the experiments at the Isle of Shep- prey are concluded. Government of fcia1s are convinced that the Wright aeroplane is the best for war purposes despite Louis Bleriot's recent Channel flight in his monoplane.
 For the first time, too, an adequate s1m is to be spent by the government in aerostatic experiments. Last year Germany spent $67O,000, not counting s1. $50, 900 from private sources in this science. This year England is double $39O, 900 to this purpose.

 Then Herring went to the rooms of a young married daughter, Marguerite, and Mrs. Clara Bederman. another daughter. Both had locked their doors. however, and Herring was un- able to break them in.

RECLUSE
 MAY DIE Aged Washington Turney Clubbed With Gun for Shooting Pet Chicken RIBS BATTERED IN WITH HIS OWN GUN Farm Hand Charged With Assault With Intent to
 Kill Nurse Returns to Find Her Charge Weltering in
 Blood Pool

Stefan Bick, aged 35, a. farm hand employed on the Jennings place at Greenfield Hill, is being tried this aft ernoon at Fairfield for battering in the ribs of Washington Turney, aged 65, a recluse who occupies a few rooms in his house at Benson's corner and who lets the rest of the house to Bick and his family.
 Turney, who is eccentric, is bothered by the hoodlums of the town and goes about carrying a shot gun at times. About two months ago he fell and broke his leg chasing some boys who were bothering him. On Saturday a Mrs. Mary Allen of New Haven. who claims she has been nursing Turney since he was hurt, returned from a shopping trip to Bridgeport with a man named, Charles Whitney As she entered Turney's apartments she claimed she saw the old man lying on the floor in pool of blood and Bick standing over him with shot gun which he was using as a club. Mrs. Bick stood over the old man with an other gun, which she had pointed at Turney's head. Mrs. Allen claims that Bick dropped his gun and ran from the room when he saw her. Mrs. Bick showed fight and pointed the gun at her. Whitney jumped forward and
 
 the woman.
 Whitney and Mrs. Allen told a Far mer reporter that after the gun was taken from her Mrs. Bick sat down in a chair and viewed the body of the apparently dead man for a few min utes and then she fled from the room.
 Medical Examiner Donaldson was summoned. He found that Turney was badly done up. but might live. He had five broken ribs on the left side and the bones were forced against the left lung. Besides there were two deep cuts in the skull which penetrated the bone although there was no frac- ture beyond the incised wounds.
 The old man recovered consciousness and his chances of recovery are about even.
 Bick was arrested yesterday upon a warrant by Sheriff David A. Burr and this afternoon was arraigned before Justice Bacon Wakeman, charged with probably be held in heavy bonds until the condition of Turney is determin- ed.
 From what can be learned from the neighbors Turney caused the trouble by shooting a hen that was the, pet of several of the Bick children. It is said that the children saw the execu- ton of the hen and ran to their mother crying. Mrs. Bick sent for her him to explain. Both guns used by the Bicks are believed to be the prop erty of Turney. The defence of Bick will be that Turney threatened him with a gun and that he took the weapon away from Turney and used it to defend himself when the old man got a second weapon.
