Levin of Cornwall Bridge was $72.31 in all, for bringing four cows and, a heifer from New York state to Sharon.
 on, but there the hedfer collapsed and had to be left in a barn, where ft died. Levin took the remaining four cows to Cornwall Bridge, but there learned that Deputy Commission Of Domestic Animals Frank A. Ingram had been informed of the case as be- ing suspicious He skipped back to New York state. It was learned that Rabbi Morris Schulnan had furnish ed a. share of the purchase money that was paid for the cattle, and the rabbi was put under bonds of Sz00. Inn mediately after this Levin returned to Sharon and accepted the warrant that had been issued for him The cows have been consigned to Bridgeport for slaughter, after which they will be-. examined to see if they are fit for food. So far as can be seen, there is nothing the matter with them The authorities have been led to believe that Levin was acting as the agent of butcher I1ereabouts, but so far have not been able to find evidence that points to this.
