ST. ALBANS MAN
ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF CHICKEN THEFT

St Adams, Dec 6.--Dan Murphy was
arrested Saturday evening near the
Colonial Inn, where he had gone to
deliver a quantity of chickens. he hav-
ing furnished DR.. G. c. Berkeley with
several earlier in the week. Murphy
had eleven fat ones In Il bag when Of
ficer Robert Walker arrested him.
Murphy, with his plumber. was taken
to the Jail and locked up, while loudly
protesting his innocence
Chief Mahoney. with a search war
rant, went to Murphys home, which
Murphy owns, on Federal street. and
there found. among other things, a
number of tools and implements. and
quantity Of grain recently stolen
from the city barn. a rooster and four
hens alive. the remainder OF l. c. Rob
inson's flock stolen the first part of
the week. together with a dozen other
fowls. now awaiting Identification by
their owners.
That Murphy had been doing an ex-
tensive business was evidenced by the
feathers and remains found on his
property, it being estimated that the
feathers of 200 chickens were found in
the parlor and kitchen, in the process
or being dried and cured. Murphy
', and his family evidently utilized every
thing.
Murphy. who formerly was in the
army, and at one time lived in Barre,
was clever in his operations. and never
left clue by which he could be traced
suspicion was not directed toward him
until II became known that he was
selling chickens at bargain prices and
making his deliveries after dark. He
has also been selling chickens to Bev-
ms, the meat man.
The prisoner at first strongly pro-
claimed his Innocence, denying every
change made but finally. when ques-
toned by Chief Mahoney, confessed to
the theft of the Sharon and Robinson
fowls
