CLAIMED TO BE
 PCNEMAH co. INSPECTOR.
Young Man Stole Three Watches and Other Articles in the Village Mon- day.

Claiming to be an inspector employ ed by the Ponenah company to ascer- tain the need of repairs in their tene- ments. and armed with notebook and pencil to help out the deception, a clever young man went through mum Der of houses in the village on Monday and made off with three watches and other valuable jewelry.
 Philip BergerOn, weaver, who lives with his sister. Mrs Noise Labrecoque, at No. 6 South B. street, was perhaps the heaviest loser, the thief taking his gold watch, chain, two rings and other jewelry. From the cest of Christopher Seidel, who boards with Mrs. John Frohmader of Mo-. 64 Norwich avenue, a gold watch was stolen A silver watch was taken from the tenement oc- cupied by the St. Onge family on North A street.
 A number of other tenements were reported entered by the bogus inspec- tor in his work of examining the cleo tric wiring plastering, chirnneys, etc., but nothing was found missing after his departure. He was a person of plausible address and there was little suspicion of him, although now the people admit that an Inspector of build ings seemed a new departure for the POnemah company.
 tice this week, preparatory to leaving
 When Officer John Reeves was noti- fled of the thefts Tuesday morning he acquainted Chief Murphy of the Nor wich police with the facts. Later Off, cer Reeves endeavored to get a de- scription of the thief from the various families visited, and although his eff forts did not result in an eitirely clear idea of the mans appearance, he was described as young man of medium height thin, wearing a black suit, gray overcoat and green hat From what Officer Reeves found and from the number of houses visited during the day, it was his opinion that there might have been two thieves working together.
