Plafnville News SENT TO JAIL FOR STEALING POTATOES Joseph Dcgnan Had Contracted To
 Cater For A Local C:anlbake. NEED WATER MAIN EXTENSION
Plainville Water co. Has No Funds for New Construction-C. H. Newton Is Not Interested in Politics-New Mail Service at Postoffice-Notes

Joseph Degnan of Forestville. known to the local authorities as Saw Horse" Degnan was arrested last night by Deputy Sheriff w. C. Hart and Officer John Conlon charged with stealing two bags of potatoes from the Man. chester Brothers farm. He was tried this morning before Justice S. P. Will Hams and found guilty. Unable to pay his fine of $3 and costs am ount- ing to $16 he was taken to the Hart ford jail by Officer ConIon.
 The arrest and conviction of Deg nan is the first. step in a campaign undertaken by the local officers to protect farms in the Red Stone Hill district from the activities of thieves. Arthur Whisky Bates, another fel- low involved in the case, skipped out but the authorities expect to arrest him today.
 Degnan, Bates, and several of their associates who have been sleeping in the old slaughter house barn near Bank street have been carrying on an extensive business in garden truck. Yesterday Degnan contracted with the proprietor of local hotel to furnish potatoes, tomatoes and corn for a clambake to be held tom He then proceeded to go on foraging expedition to gather the vegetables.
 Officer Conlon was notified that two large bags of potatoes had been found under a shed near the slaughter house barn. He conferred with Deputy Sheriff Hart and they decided to make a thorough investigation of the case. By the time Officer Conlon reached the slaughter .house barn Degnan had hired a teamster to carry the potatoes to the hotel.
 Degnan protested his innocence when he was arrested. He claimed that he had been given permission to dig the potatoes in Frank Caf- ferty,s lot. Placing Degnan in the lookup the authorities went out to trace the ownership of the pilfered "spuds' They took samples of the potatoes grown on the Manchester Brothers local farm, on Ollie Olson's farm and on the Cafferty field. The potatoes in Cafferty's lot were small and undeveloped. The officers could not find any evidence that Degnan had taken the potatoes from this field.
 Using the laboratory method and comparing the samples. Officer Con- lon came to the conclusion that the sacks of potatoes had been stolen from the Manchester farm. Investi- gation showed that he was right. Mr. Olson has been complaining of thefts from his garden but Degnan and his gang did not visit the Olson farm on this trip. .t.
 Confronted with the evidence se- cured by the officers Degnan changed his story. He said that he had started to dig potatoes in Frank Caf- ferty's lot when he met some other fellows who offered to sell him enough

publics is wrong i'm principle. The

the original Monroe doctrine into an
