The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-07-19
FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, July 19.-Frank Ryan of Bridgeport Was arrested yesterday by Sheriff Elwood for attempting to de- | fraud Wallace Bulkley, the local liv- | eryman. His case was partially heard | yesterday before Justice Bacon Wake | man, but continued until 5 o'clock I this afternon. Early in'the week Ryan secured horse and team of Livery
 man Bulkley,> representing that he had 1 business in Greenfield Hill. The horse
 and team was found late Monday eve-' I ming in Greens Farms abandoned by Ryan. Complaint was made to Sheriff l Elwood, who located Ryan yesterday. morning at Fairfield beach. He was found driving another team which he claimed was the property of a cousin, | residing in Milford. Ryan told the authorities that he handed over Bulk ley's rig to another young man on
 Monday, evening with instructions to
 return the outfit to Bulkley's stables.
 He also gave the "other fellow three dollars, the hire of the rig. He states. he saw the other felloW'' in Bridge. port on Tuesday and learned to his: satisfaction that the turnout had been, returned to Bulkley's., The trial was. postponed to allow the sheriff to bring the "other fellow in as witness.
 Sheriff Elwood is of the opinion that
 this is not the first time that Ryan
 has held up liverymen. He thinks that the young man has a penchant3 for good looking rigs and not having the funds with which to secure them offers a glib story to liveryman and generally secures team The sheriff does not think the young man wants to steal or dispose of such turn outs, but has weakness for having a pretty, girl at his side. The sheriff was so
 confident of his statement that he ventured the fact after Ryan had de- parted from Justice Wakemans office he would hasten off to the beach to keep a date with a certain young wo- man there. Part of the sheriff's ven- ture was right, for Ryan did dash off in his carriage along the Danbury road to the beach Sheriff Elwood thinks Ryan is the man who secured a team some time ago from a South port 1lveryman,. representing to the latter that he was employed with the state highway department and wanted to look over the work his men were doing in that locality. That team was also found abandoned
