the wiles of wandering gypsy fortune
teller. Shumway was working in the

preached by the woman, who belonged to
large band Of gypsies. He ordered her
from the premises but she persisted and
he went into the front part Of the hotel
with her. He took out q large wallet
containing between $500 and S400 and ex-
tracted some change, giving this to the
woman to get rid of her. He laid the
wallet on a piano and returned to his
work. He missed his pocketbook and
returning to the front room found that it
had disappeared. He notified the police
and the wanderers were spprehended
about three miles below Putney, en-
camped on the Charles Glidden farm. He
arrested the entire lot and took them
back to Putney. Mr.. Shumway recov-
cred all but small part of his money

woman she was released. The gypsies
left for Brattleboro.
Edward Muzzey, aged 10, of Clare
mont, n. H., and John McLoud, aged 16,
OF Barre were arrested last week wednes-
day charged with stealing two bicycles a
few days before in ClaIemont. The bicy-
Giles were recovered but the boys were
held on account of committing a more Sc

Fairlee. The boys, it seems, rode the
wheels to White River Junction, where
they sold one for so cents and the other
for 81. so, intending to go to Barre, where
McLoud lived. Instead, they went over
the Passumpsie road to Fsirlee. There
they broke into a general store, stealing
watches, knives, money and jeweIry,
which were found in their possession.

Muzzey outran the officers, jumping on q
south-bound passenger train and riding
to White River Junction, clinging to the
rear Of the tender OF the locomotive.

SCOT and dust and presented q sorry spec
tacle. He.was taken back to Fairlee but

ture. Muzzey had only recently returned
from the state industrial school, where be
u as sentenced to two years for burglary.
He was pardoned after serving year.

that since his mothers second marriage
he has been ill-treated at home and has

Francesca Gennelaro, 81 years old last
April, who came to this country about
three years ago from a town near Mes
sina, Italy, and who came to this state re-
emily to work with gang of Italians
getting out pulp wood near Plymouth
Kingdom in the town OF Reading.
stabbed and killed a fellow countryman,
Castellini Ceppino, boss OF the camp, last
week Monday. He attempted to kill
Luisa Thiralci. the woman in the case,
but was prevented from killing her by
Vineenzo Miratoto, an eye witness of the
crime. 1t is said that Gennelaro, Ceppino
and the woman came from the same town
in Italy, and that Gennslaro was jealous Of
Ceppino. The trouble started at their
home ia Itsly and Gennelaro traced them
to Reading, where the woman was cook
in the lumber camp. The knife used by
the murderer was a wicked looking stilet-
to, about seven inches long, dull, and
looking as though it might have been
made from an old file. Gennelaro later
tried to kill himself with a stone eigh-
ing one pound and fourteen ounces, but
without success. He had also in his pos
session 32-caliber revolver, which he did
not use. When the officers arrived at
the scene of the crime the Italians had
bound Gennelaro and tied him to a log.
Both Gennelaro and Miratoto were tax
en- to Woodstock and lodged in Windsor
county Jail. GenneIsro has taken out his
first naturalization papers at Boston.
