The obstacles that prevented the le-
gal ceding OF a site for new post
office in westerly has been removed,
and now the proverbial red tape can
be Embossed. The proposed site, prac-
ticaIly where the present building now
stands, was found ineligible, because
of the absence of a street or alleywsy
on two sides. but now the site may be
accepted, a provision waving this re-
quiFement having been included In the
public buildings bill which has passed
the house.
II 10 officially announced that the
Rheds Island Temperance league has
nothing to do with the Oliver T. Cav
Set liquor case in Westerly and that
the statement that the league was to
send its prosecuting officer to push the
case against Gavitt is untrue.
Assistant Superintendent Dutton OF
Westerly states that the league is not
going to prosecute this case. He de-
ctares THAI the league knows nothing
of this particular case, and that it
Is one that must be handled by the
prosecuting officers of the town Of
Westerly. He had heard, however,
that Town Solicitor Kingsley had call
ed to his assistance Attorney Huddy
Of Providence, who had prosecuted
cases for the league and was consid-
cred authority on laws relating to the
illegal sale OF liquor in Rhode Island.
1t was not in any sense a case with
which the state league had any con-
nectiopt, and II Mr.. Huddy assisted in
the prosecution he would do so at the
expense OF the town Of Westerly and
not the Rhode Island State Temper
Ance league.
Chief Murphy Of the Norwich police
fierce has left q warrant for the arrest
Of Albert Fuller, the horse thief with
Sheriff John B. Wilcox at the Wash
kRgton county jail, where Fuller is
AaaH in default Of bail for trial in the
superior court. This IS done to pre-
vent the escape of Fuller from prose-
cution In Connecticut. In case bonds
were furnished by pals with the in
tention OF forfeiture.
When Chief Murphy visited Wester-
~ last Thursday with Danny Driscol,
who identified Fuller as the fellow who
got away with the Chapman team in
1905, he took back with him a slip
Of paper upon which the name E. E.
Fuller was written. and 1t was found
TO be identical with the signature of
the man who took The Chapman team
to the theft in Norwich. Chief Muir
ply has not only discriminating, but
positive and direct evidence, against
Fuller, and therefore swore out a war
rant for his arrest as soon as re-
leased by Rhode Island authorities.
Chief Bransfield Is receiving queries
from police in sections OF Pennsylva-
MIA, New York, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts, Delaware and Connecticut
o@noernIng the documentary evidence
found in the possession OF Fuller at
~ time Of his arrest and IL is prob
2ble that others connected with Fuller
IN his horse thieving operations will
be under arrest at an early date.
