MYSTIC MAN
Had Long Wait in Court-Herbert
S. Davis Finally Gets Discharge
from Bankruptcy.

Herbert S. Davis, who lives in Mys-
tic, got discharge from bankruptcy
from Judge James P. Platt in the
district court of the United States
Wednesday, says the Hartford Cour-
ant. He was a broker in Norwich and
New London and was adjudicated
bankrupt on August II, 1908 When
the brokerage house on whose wire
he was blew out" and wouldn't set
tie with him. Davis was unable to pay
his obligations and fled the pet'tion.
In November, 1908, Davis filed a petit
ton for a discharge and it was re-
ferred To Amos A. Browning of Nor
wich as special master. Several of
the creditors made objection to the
discharge. On March 4. 1909, Mr.
Browning filed a report recommend
ing a discharge for Davis and then
in the United States court to the re-
port of the master There the matter
lay until yesterday when it was tax
en- u. for hearing on the exceptions
Since he original exceptions We're
filed some of the creditors have with
drawn their objections. William T.
Connor of New London appeared yes
terday for Samuel Prince of New Lon
don, an objecting creditor and Curtis
Morgan of New London appeared for
Davis. Mr.. Connors principal objec-
ton was that certain real estate to
which Davis wife had title was really
owned by Davis and should have gone
into his assets for the benefit of cred
itors Judge Platt made the discov-
cry that in the specifications of objec-
ton filed in the interest of Mr. Prince
no mention was made of this particu-
lar real estate. That made it clear
that Mr.. Common was arguing outside
the record. Judge Plat final1yt sus-
tanned the report of the special mas
ter and discharged Davis from bank
ruptcy. rq

dozen or more of the bronzed females

telling gag as an entering wedge. In
one store, one of the vagabonds grab
bed some money from a man and ran
into the street. but she was caught
and compelled to disgorge. Other like
attempts were made and the fact
reached Deputy Chief Brown, who was
the solitary police officer on duty and
who was busy in the enforcement of
the traffic ordinance. He, however,
soon got on the trail of the offenders,
but they managed to get across the
Broad street bridge and into the vii

Wednesday evening, and, without per-
mission, turned ali their livestock into
the meadow lot of Thomas Greene.
When the owner expostulated he was
abused and threatened with bodily
harm if he interfered in any way with
the gypsy band.

Charles P. Ecclestone, who in the

an attempt at robbery by members
of the thievish gang. Roger Lewis
had been held I'D and relieved of S17,

UP and searched but no large amount
of money was taken from him.
Officer Ecclestone succeeded in re-
covering the stolen money although
the spokesman of the gang disclaimed
any knowledge of the theft, but said
he settled to avoid trouble. The Off
Ger ordered the gang TO move on and
out of the town of Richmond. but they
declined, whereupon the officer pro-
claimed that If they We're not out of
town within half an hour the whole
dirty bunch would be arrested. Mr..
Ecciestone scurried around in his au-
tonlobile and gathered together fair
sized posse ready to obey his COM
msnd. They proceeded to the camp,
but when they arrived the gypsies had
departed. The band encamped the
balance of the night at White Rock,
and from there proceeded westward by
way of Westerly
