Grimshaw had been watching the house in the inter ests of the owner, Mrs. X. W. Atwood of Wauregan, as It was thought that some one was sleeping there, the house at the time being aneeeupied by the owner.
 Clifford was arraigned in the town court of killingly, Friday, and admit. ted that he was the man responsible. He stated that he found the door open and walked in, claiming that he had no home and wanted to get in out of the rain. He said he had been subsist- ing on apples since his discharge from jail q few days previous.
 Clifford had been in Jail to serve a sentence imposed by the Putnam city court and had just been discharged. When arraigned in this city charged with the theft of a bicycle from the yard of whipple X Gilpatrie he stout ly maintained his innocence and made scene in court when he excitedly protested that the was no thief. The young man had been about the city apparently diving on his wits and worked himself into the sym pathies of some good hearted people and religious organizations. The bicycle was found taken apart in his room but he said that he intended to return 1t.
