BY mlNeF NTom GradlGH FtaCGs
A sequel to the Fred H. Wood case
developed Saturday when Eugene
osier, Paul St. George, Louis Dupre
and Alexander .Dupre, all Of Putnam.
were arrested, charged with receiving
and concealing goods stolen from the
Bradley estate at Pomfret. The ar
rest of the men was based on evidence
secured from Charles Miller. who bur-
glarized the Bradley mansion and Is
now a prisoner in Brooklyn jail. The
facts furnished were worked up by
state Policeman Robert Hurley of
Hartford. The four prisoners were
taken over to Pomfret Saturday morn
ing for a special reason and the pre-
linfinary hearing was held in that town
before Justice John Larned.
Charles o. Thompson, a grand juror,
prosecuted for the state. Attorney
Mahlon H. Gessler of Putnam anoear-
ed for the defendants and entered
demurrer to the charges, which was
overruled by the court. Osier was
charged with receiving goods to the
value Of s250. He was found guilty,
fined IS and sentenced to thirty days
in jail. Osier took an appeal and
was released under a bond of 500,
furnished by Or. Omer Larue, to ap-
pear later in the superior court. st.
George and the two Dupres were all
bound over, the court finding probable
cause. st. George was charged with
receiving goods valued at S29. Alex
ander Dupre with receiving goods val
ued at $21 and Louis Dupre with re-
ceiving goods valued at 1901. st.
Georges bond OF $500 was furnished
by Fred H. Wood
DR. Larue went the $500 bonds of
Louis Dupre, and Alfred Dupre the
$3.50 bond of Alexander Dupre.
All the things that Miller told the
officers regarding his breaks and sales
OF goods to the men implicated are so
near to being true as to cause another
sensation In Putnam. The goods sold
bv Miller to the four men bound over
Saturday have been recovered and are
III possession Of the local officers. They
consist Of a miscellaneous collection
of articles. such as would be taken
by q burglar with plenty of leisure
TO select from a fashionably fitted res
idence. French clocks. brio a brac,
wearing apparel and innumerable other
articles are included in the list. Mill
er sold his ILL., gotten collection for rid
iculously small prices and did not re-
ceive in total as much as some Of the
separate pieces are worth.

A bride, gowned as she came from
the altar in a pretty dress OF white
and with veil and wreath attracted
attention at the station Saturday aft
ernoon while waiting for a Boston,
bound train. The bridal party was
from out of town.
With all the wires In working order
and temporarily repaired, a tired set
Of linemen came in Saturday night,
after struggling With the ruin caused
by the ice storm of two weeks ago,
all the hours the day light has per-
mitted since that time. Sunday was
their first day of rest after one Of
the most strenuous periods Of labor
they have ever been called upon to
undergo.
