In his 1914 portrayal of "Jean Val
jean" came Paddy Driscoll TO Barre last
night. Exuding the pure ozone of the
Roxbury limberlost and with the pun
gent odor of green spruce still clinging
to his mackinaw, Paddy alighted from
southbound trolley car, took cogniz-
ance Of his surroundings and started to-
ward police headquarters, for the even
ing was damp and chilly little wind
was beating down from the west Pad
dy brushed past the crowd of statesmen
who were just then arbitrating the ca
nal tolls differences on the sunny side
of Prospect street and walked into the
police station. Kind. hearted officers
welcomed the visitor as John Coffin OF
Roxbury, Mass, on his way to Bur
lngton, and complied with his request |
for berth until morning. Drise Ills |
to conceal his identity was sue
cessful until Officer Gamble came in for |
station duty. He had seen the husky |
before and it was en- the Of |
ficer's recognition that Paddy was moved |
to disclose. his right name. To-day Dris- |
coll denied emphatically that his line |
Of communication with relatives in
Keene, n. H., had been cut. He said
he was on his way to Keepe to ar
range for the disinterment of the strang-
er who was buried under the name of /
Patrick Driscoll early in the week.
