Found in Barn at Plainfield
Suffering from Sew
eral Wounds
CASE is REPORTED
TO STATES ATTORNEY
One Theory Is That He In
fiicted Wounds on
Himself

The states attorneys Office was noti-
fed yesterday of stabbing affair in
Plainfeld that is beginning to assume
serious aspects. Deputy Sheriff f. G.
Bartlett telephoned the meagre details of
the affair to States Attorney j. Ward
Carver, who is conducting an investiga-
tion.
Sometime Sunday forenoon Solomon
Bartlett, brother of the deputy, who
lives one mile out of Plainfield village,
went to one of his barns and discovered
q man lying unconscious in the hay.
Closer examination revealed at least
three knife wounds in the mans body
and limbs. Later Bartlett recognized the
man as one of his employees, Swede,
who had been working in the woods
around Plainfeld. A physician who was
summoned found deep cash in the
breast, second wound in the right arm
and a superficial wound in the neck. In
The barn careful search disclosed
knife. No one in the vicinity of Plain
field seems to know the mans name, al
though number of his countrymen are
employed in the woods thereabouts. 1t
is expected that the Swede will recover
Papers found on his person indicate that
his name may be William Thatolf, al
though this fact has not been established
beyond doubt. The Plainfield author
tiles believe that someone will come for
ward to tell more about the man.
Two theories prevail One assigns the
cause of the mans condition to attempt
ed self destruction. According to the
authorities there is every reason to be.
lieye that he had been drinking and by
some it is surmised that he had inflicted
the wounds himself while under the in
fluenee of liquor. From the appearance
of the hay it looked yesterday as though
he had slept in the barn all night. An
other surmise has it that Thatolf, il that
IS his name, engaged in an alteration
with some of his countrymen He il
still confined at the Bartlett farmhouse
and doctors who attend him say he has
a fair chance for recovery.
To-day the states attorney kept in
touch with the situation and was ready
to go to Plainfield at any moment to as.
sumo personal charge of the investiga-
tion. Since numbering operations began
there has been a considerable influx of
woodsmen in Plainfeld and the injured
man was one of several who passed that
way several weeks ago. He is of middle
age and is believed to be unmarried
Plainfield officers hope TO get state
ment from him as soon as he recovers
: In conversation with Deputy Bart.
lett this afternoon, the states alto ncy
learned that the man had partially re-
covered consciousness and had furnished
the officers with story of being stlbbcd
and then robbed of sum which r1icht
have been $50 or S400.

LooTING OF CAR CHARGED.
Two Men Have Been Arrested in the
City of Burlington.

Burlington, Feb. l6.-The looting of a
freight car in the Central Vermont
yards Thursday night OF last week has
led to the arrest of James Louis Laduke,
better known as Louis Laduke, and
Charles Fleury, the charge against each
being burglary. Laduke, who. comes
near to holding the record for the num-
Der of convictions against one man for
intoxication in city court, has been out
of the state hospital at Waterbury for
only short time, having been com
lnitted to the Institution for the treat
ment some months ago. The cure evi-
IDENTIFY did not work in his case, for
complaint was made that he was in
toxicated a few days ago and he was
taken into custody, which led to the
discovery that he knew something about
a satchel that had been lost and ad-
vertised in the local papers and that GER
tain articles stolen from the car above
mentioned were on his premises.
There was stolen from the car a
quantity of smoking and chewing to-
baceo, some packages of cereal and some
candy. When Laduke's house at HOE
Pearl street was searched by virtue of
a warrant issued by the states attorney
Saturday afternoon, a lot of the stolen
stuff was found in a bag. II was also
ascertained that he had sold travelling
bag to John Fleury for SIPS. This was
recovered and in it were a silk dress and
some tobacco of the kind that was taken
from the Central Vermont car. The bag
and the dress in it were the property OF
Mrs. John Collins of Chazy, n. Y, the
bag having fallen from hack when
Mrs. Collins was on her way to the
train. 1t was evidently found by Laduke.
When it was sold to John Fleury,
he was arrested on suspicion of being an
accomplice of Ladukes.
