State Policeman Robert Hurley Of
Hartford did a quick and effective
piece of work Mondav in clearing up
the burglary at the Bradley residence
on Pomfret street. Hurley received
word of the break in Hartford Mon
day morning and at o'clock in the
afternoon he came into Putnam with
William M. Lee, "a, of Chaplin, who
confesses to being guilty of the break.
. The house entered is one of the
finest on Pomfret street and Is known
as the George Lathrop Bradley place.
A window was forced open to gain
entrance and as the place is vacant
during the winter months Lee had
plenty of time to ransack the house,
which he proceeded to do in a thor
ough manner. The work was done
during the early hours of Sunday
morning. Dressers and trunks were
broken open and everything movable
was turned topsy turvy. Candle grease
stains the costly floor coverings in
various rooms. Just what was taken
cannot be ascertained until the Brad
leys are communicated with. because
Lee was not laxative on the subject
After ranaacking the house another
building on the place known as the
office was visited. The cellar door was
forced open, but a locked door at the
head of the stairs prevented access 70
the upper pert of the building.
Deputy Sheriff George S. Holbrook
of this city accompanied State Police
man Hurley in the search for the bur-
glar. Lee, because OF certain circum-
stances. was believed to know some
thing of the affair and when charged
with the crime his nerve wavered and
his confession was gradually made.
Lee is employed as a farmland at
Pomfret. He will be given a hearing
before Justice Charles o. Thompson at
Pomfret this (Tuesday) morning.
Lee was locked up Monday night at
police headquarters for safe keeping
and will be taken to Pomfret this
morning. ~
