apprehension of one Eddie McHall, whose real name is Edmond McEIall, alias Richard Delaney. at PawtuclSet, R. I.
 'It was found that McHall was working at Danielson about that time and his associations in some cases, while here, were with those who pre- viously had 8 criminal record, and this, with his record at PawtucAet, to- gether with some information. led to his apprehension.
 After a full examination, the detec- tives and others interested in the mat ter were satisfied that he was not in Danielson on the night of March 21, and therefore not connected with the shooting. The court continued the case for two weeks
 McHall has been released from cus- tody. He was arrested in Putnam by Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimshaw af- ter he had accompanied from Rhode Island a private detective that had been working on the case.
 Mothers Day Exercises.

The youngest per son present was little Esther Swaffieid, 5 months, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. w D. Swaff1eld. White roses were dis tributed among the mothers who att tended the exercises.
 A Mere Fiction.
 Coroner Arthur c. Bill has found that what appeared like an opportuni- ty to get some valuable evidence in connection with the Lambert murder case is of no value. There was a story to the effect that man travelling by the Lambert house heard the report of a gun. and going to the Lambert home to investigate, found the man now held for the murder beating his wife (Mrs Lambert) with the stock of the gun. The man remonstrated with Lambert, so the story went. and was told by the murderer to go away or he would kill him. too.
 Coroner BilIs investigation of the yarn develops that there was no foun- dation for it. The man who was sup posed to have arrived at the Lambert home when the crime was being com mitted was not there at the time, and it has further been learned from his employer that he was at work as usual on the day of the murder.
 Cars Stalled for Two Hours.

ROBBED OF sa25.
PerryviIIe Woodchopper Claims to Have Been Held Up in Lonely Cabin.

Joseph Lamoreaux of Perryville has complained to the police of this city that he was robbed of s226 by two masked men that entered the wood sleeping at 8 o'clock Sunday morn ing According to the tale told Cap tain Murray, the two robbers held him up at the point of revolvers. Af- ter they had secured his money they bound his hands behind his back and tied his feet together.
 After the men had gone Lamoreaux rolled out the cabin door and over rough country studded with stumps and rocks and made difficult of pae- sage on account of brush. travelling three quarters of a mile in this man ner.
 It was after daylight when he reached the roadside and lay there until found by some passerby to whom he told his story and by whom the bindings on his wrists and ankles were removed.
 Lamoreaux came to this city and told his story to Captain Murray Monday He said that he was here Saturday night and did some trading, returning to the camp during the late evening. There are certain circum- stances connected with the robbery that may eventually result in evidence being secured that will cause the ar rest of the responsible parties but up to Monday night nothing special had developed.
 I4amoreaux had the money that was stolen from him sent from a relative in Canada, where he intended going in short time. There is reason to believe that certain persons were aware of the fact that he had the money, which he kept in a belt around his waist, and also that the same per sons were aware of the fact that he would be alone in the cabin where the robbery occurred during the early hours of Sunday morning.
