 Patrolman James Foley, who baqced
 the amateur bandits of Mystic, Rueh-
 row and Arnold, and thereby placed in 1 durance vile two men who have been committing thefts in Westerly, Ston-> 1 lngton and Mystic for the past three 1 years, had for some time suspected 1 these two men as being the perpetrat- ors of burglaries and minor thefts and 1 had been keeping tabs on them, wait ing until he could secure evidence suf- 1 f1cient to convict before making an l arrest. When Carl koe1b of the Ston- l ington velvet mill was held up and relieved of a bag containing $1o,600 1 the two weeks payroll of the mill, Patrolrnan Foley got busy. He found 1 that RushroW and Arnold were not at
 work that day, that they had taken a 1 day off and as a matter of fact had l not voted. While other officers and [ 1 section of StOnington for the bandits, ] PatrOlman Foley held fast to the opin- 1 ion that Rushrow and Arnold were 1 the men wanted. He told other officers l to come with him and help cage the l birds, but they insisted they were on l the right trail.
 1 Patrolman Foley was convinced that l cirCu--Stantial evidence is sometimes | equally as strong as direct evidence, l and he took a chance He arrested he fNrrn J4vifll 1Io I i man O'Connell of StOnington, and then ] called in Deputy Sheriff William H. i Casey, who succeeded in getting com | plete confessions from both RuShrow
 and Arnold. was a clever bit Of 1 detective work and clarified the mys- i terious atmosphere of crime that pre- 1 vailed Tn this section.

 were taken to the site of the Ston- l ington holdup and Arnold pointed out
 the course taken in the getaway. He l said he threw his revolver into the 1 brush soon after he was struck with ! small birdshot from the gun fired by i Surveyor Hamilton. RuShrow had se- 1 creted his revolver in a stone wall near 1 Industrial place, which he pointed out. 1 The weapon was secured by Sheriff ] Casey.
 i It was explained that the reason 1 why they did not carry the bag of 1 cash away, instead of hiding it in a | SlOIG W dIls WcS tIIdI they were uEdDI6
 to run and carry the bag, as it weighed 1 so pounds. The bag was relayed sev- l eral times. but the pursuers were gain l ing and they decided to hide the mon 1 ey, intending to return and get it | later. All Monday afternoon and 1 evening the two men were hidden in i thick brush and one of them said they 1 lay so still that quail actually walked l over them They saw Sheriff Casey 1 in an automobile pass in the roadway ! -5. .r,+,o 1 portions of the pursuing party were 1 so near that their voices were audible. 1 They left their hiding place about

 Trade. the principal speakers being 1 Everett E. Whipple, Frederick H. ] Buffum and William Segar.
