WORE OFF MANS CLOTHES.
And Then Was Fined for Stealing Them
as Well as Watch.

Bellows Falls, Dec. l9.-Lillian Hill
dreth, aged 25, of Randolph, pleaded
guilty to the charge of larceny in the
municipal court yesterday afternoon and
was fined $50 and costs OF Sl0.29 by
Justice z. II. Albee. She could not pay
and was sentenced to 1870 days in the
house of correction at Rutland. The
woman was arrested at the railroad sta
ton here Wednesday night about 1880
o'clock as she was about to board train
for White River Junction, after George
Burnham, who runs a lodging near Cold
River, n. H., notified the police that all
his clothes and his watch had been stol-
en-. He did not make the complaint him
self because Miss Hildreth had taken his
clothes while he was asleep in a room
at lodging house, and he was forced to
call other roomers to help him in his
difficulty.
According to the woman's story she
came here from Fitehburg Wednesday
morning and met Burnham on the street.
They went to the lodging house and
when Burnham went to sleep she donned
his clothes and left her own in the room.
The police arrested her at the station
and after returning Burnham's clothes
to him locked him in the police station
as a material witness.
Miss Hildreth gave Chief of Police w.
s. Severance a gold watch and asked
that it be returned to a woman in Wor-
cester, Mass, from whose home it was
taken by her few days ago.

merous changes throughout the Burling-
ton diocese, representative delegation
of parishioners of St Monica's church
gathered at the parsonage on Summer

well reception. The affair came as a
great surprise to Rev. Griffin when about
twenty of his parishioners entered the
house and informed him of their mis-
sion. j. B. Kelley presented him good
sized purse of gold.
In making the presentation, Mr.. Kelley
spoke of the services Rev. Griffin had
rendered to the local parish and how his
wide circle of friends sincerely regretted
his departure to other fields. When prof
fering the purse, Mr.. Kelley said that
it was a token of the esteem in which
he was regarded by his parishioners.
Rev. Griffin, recovering, responded brief
ly. The evening was passed in a social
manner, the party dispensing at an early
hour. extending their best wishes for
success in his new field.

wINoosKI MILL DAMAGED.
Burlington Firemen Called Because
Winooski Alarm Was Not Running.

Winooski, Dee l9.-Damage amount
ing to between $4,000 and $4,000 was
done yesterday afternoon at the Ameri-
can Woolen eompany's mill, the loss
being mostly in yarn which was badly
damaged by water. The Burlington fire
departments auto truck responded to a
call about 2;30 o'clock. The fire started
in some unknown manner in one of the
dryers and before it was chacked spread
to the stock room on the second floor
But little damage was done by fire, there
being mostly a bad smudge. The mill
hose was spread and water turned on
The Winooski department was not
called out, although it was reported that
il had been. The alarm system was out
of order, which was the reason of call
ing the Burlington department. The
trouble in the fire alarm system, which
was out OF order for the past two days,
was repaired yesterday afterEe5n after
the chief OF the fire department, James
Halloran, had put in days work hunt
ing up the trouble. There was an open
circuit at the fire alarm box near the
new high school building 1t was dis
covered that one OF the boxes, fastened
by about three screws to the pole, had
become unfastened and dropped down
from its regular position. This is
thought to have been caused by linemen
coming in contact with the box in as
cending or descending the pole. It was
also learned that the system at the
Lafayette hose room was defective when
the jar of closing the door caused the
alarm to ring one stroke The system
was in good working order last evening.

after 10 witnesses had been examined
by Grand Juror A. g. Fay. The st

plaint made by the grand juror. Much
of the mornings testimony centercd
around a meeting OF the Bohemians on
the top floor OF the A. Tomasi block on
recent Sunday night. The meeting
eliminated in the arrest and convic-
tion of several men on breach of peace
charges Examination of none of the
witnesses elected any evidence that
would incriminate the st. Johns There
was little cross-examination.
George Walker, the first to take the
stand, said he had known the st. John
family during his 10 weeks tenure of
a room on the highest floor Of the build
ing. He had been in their fiat, but had
never made any purchases. Mae Ship
man testified to knowing st. John by
sight. She said she was on the top floor
the Sunday night that certain of the
witnesses were implicated in an alleged
fight. She was in the room where they
foregathered, saw liquor, but didn't
know whence it came Alex. Mulch said
he had been in the same room; he had
seen the liquor there but couldn't for
the life OF him tell where it came from.
Izetta Sargent, who said she lived at
liz Brooklyn street city, said she had
been in the A. Tomasi block, but had
never entered st. Johns fiat. In reply
to further questioning, she said she had
been in the room where trouble was
brewed on the Sunday night previously
mentioned at the hearing. She, too, saw
what she thought was liquor, but
couldn't tell who brought it into the
ROOM
f. J. Ruddy said he knew the st.
Johns and had been TO their fat, but
had never bought anything there. Yes,
he had seen people there, fellows he
knew by sight, but not by name. Guy
Vitagliano, who said he managed fruit
store. testified to carrying part of his
laundry and telephone messages to Mrs.
st. John Frequently he visited the
tenement Sundays. In answer to the
grand jurors question, he admitted that
he had been sending some of his laun-
dry over to Charlie Wong. Not being
altogether familiar with the interior of
st. Johns tenement, Vitagliano said he
had never seen any liquor there, to say
nothing of having purchased it there.
Irving St John. hostler, said he was
acquainted with st. John. Leonard was
his cousin, he explained. He knew where
the family lived only by hearsay. We
had not been in the house. On being
cross examined, st. John said he hadn't
had any intercourse, whatsoever, with
Cousin Leonard for year, until he was
arrested. Arthur st. John, also a host
Ter, hadn't been to his cousins house in
a year. No he hadn't bought liquor of
the respondent, he said. Amsey Matott
testified to aequaintanceship with st.
John, although he had never been in his
house. Henry Rollins said he had visit
ed the fiat when he was roomer at
the Tomasi block. He denied having
purchased liquor there
