TECHNICAL CHARGE OF
GRAND LARCENY CASE
Sergeant Conroy Keeps Prisoner
at Augusta Friday Night and
Starts with Him Saturday
For New York

To be quickly transported from the
shores of one Of the msot beautiful
lakes to be found in Kenebec county,
where one has been realizing TO the
fullest extent the happiness which
comes from the enjoyment of cottage
life during the summer months in
Maine, to the narrow confines Of q
New York prison cell is something of
change Ia ones life but that such
thing is possible is shown by the
details of an incident which occurred
Friday afternoon at Lake Maranacook
when one James Francis C!innin ef
New York City, who had been enjoy
ing the summer months with his wife
at pine Crest" one of the cottages
on the shore of the lake, was arrest
ed by Detective Sergeant George I.
Conroy. also Of New York city, on a
technical charge Of grand larceny. Ser
geant Conroy brought his prisoner 10
Augusta, where ty the cooperation of
City Marshal Colgan he was kept at
the police station Friday night and
until about 80 Saturday afternoon,
when the serge ant brought his prison
er over town and took the 4.o5 express
fer Boston on his way to New York.
expecting to land Ciinnin in the Tombs
prison this morning,
In speaking of the ease Saturday
morning TO the Journal Sergeant Con-
roy said that he had been working on
il since Friday, Aug. Z, on which date
It was assigned To him. and was much
gratified at the success which attend
ed his efforts. The story of the cap
ture Of Clinnin is an interesting one,
taking up as 1t does bit by bit the
clues which brought the officer day by
day nearer to the vicinity of the man
whom he wanted and finally resulted
in the capture. Clinnin was first To-
Gated at Stamford. Conn, and was
traced from there TO Boston, and then
in turn to Portland, Augusta, VIM
throp, and finally from here to the
cottage on the shore OF Naranacook.
II is understood that Clinin was locat-
ed by means of letters for him which
came addressed to another party. The
capture is considered an important
one.
Sergeant conrey reached Winthrop
Friday and securing the assistance of
Deputy Sheriff John A, Foster of that
boat for a trip to the cottage where
the man wanted was stopping. Ser
eoantt conroy had never seen Clinnin
hut stated Saturday morning that
Wnen on their way to the cottage the
preceding day they saw in the dis
lance a boat with man in it fishing
he was impressed with the belief that
the man in the boat was the one
wanted by him His suspicion was
further strengthened whsn as the two
boats were heading for the shore the
stranger, who was evidently also sus-
picious. although the boat in which
were the officers was not near him,
stopped his boat some 200 feet off
shore and dropped his line overheard,
ostensibly to do some more fishing,
but really in Sergeant Conroy's opin-
ion to see what the men in the other
boat were going to do.

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES
Protest Against Killing Birds.

Protest Against Killing Birds.
The shooting of small birds known
as sand peeps" on Long Beach
near the Mitchell House. York, has
caused a vigorous protest to be made
to the police But the fact that the
law has been taken off these birds al
lows their wholesale slaughter, as
there are thousands of them along the
beaches at the present time. Seven
ty-five birds are allowed one person
in one days sport, although it is stat
ed that many more than this number
have been shot by people along the
beach. The method has been to take
an automobile and run along the
sands, the birds not soaring at these
machines, and from the seat of the
machines, and from the seat OF the
machine, fire into the flock. There
is. however law in regard to the
use of firearms, or the discharge of
guns, which could no doubt be in
voked, were anyone DESTROYS of max
ing complaint.

IS the latter boat approached the
shore, however, Sergeant Conroy hail
ed a lady near the landing and engag-
ed her in conversation, whereupon
Clinnin, evidently believing the two
officers to be cottagers, pulled in his
fish line and came in to the landing.
Continuing his story, Sergeant Con-
roy said that he had been warned at
headquarters before starting out on
the hunt that Clinnin was a danger
out man and carried an automatic
pistol, and not to take any chances
with him 80 that when Clinnin left
his boat and Sergeant Conroy stepped
up to him and told him that he wanted
him, the sergeant held in one hand
which was in his coat pocket a revol-
Yer, which he quickly held against
Clinnin's body, whereupon the latter
wilted and submitted TO arrest. His
face went white as he asked what he
was wanted for but upon being told
the charge he felt much relieved and
regaining his nerve remarked: "Oh,
that's all right"
When arrested Clinnin was clothed
only with a thin sleeveless boating
shirt, Khaki pants, shoes and stock
ings nothing of the nature Of a weap-
on being found upon him. He was
taken to &. his cottage near Craig s
Point, where he was allowed to dress
himself and pack a grip with neces-
sary articles for the trip to New York,
and was then brought to Augusta. On
arriving here he agreed to waive ex-
tradition rights and accompany the
officer to New York, and when they
left the city Saturday afternoon he
was apparently in the best Of spirits

Der of the Mystic Shrine. Until recent

statement. he had held the office OF

his age, went to the clubroom on the
afternoon of Sunday, July 10, and claimed

his father, who in turn gave it to Henry

vile. Mr.. Lemieux was present in court
and quickly disproved Belts statement
in regard to his having had the watch.
At the close of the hearing Betit was

One ether case was heard by the court
Saturday morning, that of a young Pol

rsigned for mis-spending his money by
wasting it in pool rooms. 1t came out
during the hearing that he had been in
this country but three months, that he
had become infatuated with the game
of pool, and that while he earned but 81

sr ending the greater part of it in the
game. Sentence was suspended in order
TO give him a chance to do better.
