WASIN bENNIGT'
IS ARRESTED
Young Man Who Was Here So
liciting Subscriptions.
WAS CAUGHT At GREENFIELD
He Was at His Old Game of Trying
To Get Money Claiming to
Represent Magazines

Greenfield, Sept 1.-THE Green
field police scored big victory to-
day when they took into custody a
clever swindler who has been sought
all over the country for several years.
A short time ago the local police de-
partment received circular from the
Curtis Publishing company of Rhila-
delphia announcing the existence of a
swindler who had been using the
name of periodicals of the company
as a means of defrauding the public.
In the circular was a photo and other
descriptive marks which would en-
able the police to identify him. His
name was given as Fred Roster,
though it was stated he had at least
80 different aliases.
This morning officer Fitzgerald
was at the depot when the train from
the east arrived just before IL o.
clock. A stranger alighted from the
train who answered the description
given in the circular. Having his
suspicious aroused, he followed the
fellow to Main street, where he was
soon at work plying his trade Salts
fed that he was the suspect he &C
quainted Chief Manning of his sus-
picions. They both watched the fell
low long enough to get the desired
evidence to bring about his convic-
ton.
He had succeeded in selling sub
scriptions to Charles. w. Minis at the
Franklin Savings institution and
John NJ. Hackley of the Hovey drug
store, each paying him $3.50. He
then entered the drug store of Chas
N. Payne, but before he had an OPP
portunity to do any business he was
taken into custody by the two Off
GERS. He protested his innocence
very strongly and showed what APP
peared to be credentials from the
Curtis Publishing company, which
would convince anybody but a per-
son who had seen the circular and
had recognized the swindler. He
was taken to the lookup. where he re-
NAMED till this afternoon, when at
special sitting of the police court
he was convicted and sentenced to
two months rest in the house of
correction.
When his term expires at the coun-
ty boarding house there will be other
police departments ready to extend
his vacation at the expense of the
county and states to which they be-
long.
When arrested he gave his name
as Mark A. Wendell and said he
came to Greenfield from Boston.

W|NDHAM COUNTY
SHERIFF IS IN
DIFFICULTY
Claim That He Is Holding the
Office Illegally
UNDER THE C ONSTiTUT ION
That Document Says That Town
Representative May Not Hold
the Office of Sheriff

Brattleboro, Sept lit has re-
manned for the newly-elected states
attorney of Windham county, Arthur
V. d. Piper of Jamaica, to make the
discovery" that the constitution pre-
vents a sheriff from holding the office
of town representative. This means
that Windham counts present sheriff
George c. Wright of Westminster,
has no legal status according to Sec.
26 of the second chapter of the con-
stitution of Vermont While Lawyer
Piper was turning over the leaves of
the general statutes at Newfane
Tuesday afternoon he came across
the following:
"Chap. 11-Sec. 26. No person in
this state shall be capable of holding
or exercising more than one of the
following offices at the same time,
viz: Governor, acknowledgement
judge'of the supreme court, treasurer
of the state. member of the council,
member of the general assembly, sur
veyor general or sheriff. Nor shall
any person holding any office of pro-
fit or trust under the authority of
Congress be eligible to any appoint
ment in the Legislature, or of hold
ing any executive or judiciary office
under this state"
Ii suddenly occurred to Mr. Piper
that Sheriff Wright was not eligible
to hold his office inasmuch as he was
a member OF the general assembly
from Westminster at the time he re-
ceived his appointment as sheriff
from Gov. John A. Mead. He is still
the representative from that town
and moreover has been reelected to
that office. Though 1t is probable
that Mr.. Wright will resign before be
ing sworn in as member of the
House of Representatives some of the
members OF the Windham county bar
are asking what effect Mr.. Wright's
disability will have upon many OF
the cases in which he and his depu-
ties have served papers. II Sheriff
Wright has no legal authority to ad'
minister the duties of the Office, then
the men he has deputized certainly
are equally without authority, and
the 1000 papers. more or less. which
| have been served in Windham county
during the last year are without eff
feet according to the law.
Sheriff Wright was shown the sec
ton of the constitution and had moth
ing TO say. Evidently the RESPONSE
bility for the appointment is up &c
Gov. Mead.

baggagemaster on the wrecked pas
senger train, is still suffering discom-
fort from his bruises and burns.
With the reduction of the swelling of
his shiulder and right side it was
discovered that he had a broken rib.
Last evening States Attorney w.
j. Meagher stated that he had heard
the rumor that money and valuables
had been taken from the persons OF
some of those injured in the wreck.
Mr.. Meagher stated that no COM
plants of any such nature had been
made to him, but that he had made
an investigation and found that
money and valuables belonging to
Conductor James H. Shufelt and
Harry Roebuck had been taken from
their person by proper authorities
Saturday evening while the mems
wounds were being dressed, but that
they had all been returned before
Sunday evening to immediate rela-
tives of the injured.
This morning James H. Shufelt
was resting comfortably and is show
ing gradual and continuous inn
provement. Mr.. Shufelt lost his
watch in the wreck. He remembers
of sitting by telegraph pole i'm
mediately after having been dragged
from the wreckage and discovering
his watch chain hanging loose. He
is of the opinion that his watch was
broken from its chain as he was TAX
en- out of the passenger coach through
a window. His roll of bills was in
tact, but he lost considerable small
change.
