CARPENTER CASE NoLLED.
Windhan7 Silk Company Officials Sat-
 isfied Without Prosecution.

The case against Elmer E. Carpen- ter, assistant superintendent Of the NVindham Silk company, who vas ar rested Tuesday afternoon. charged with the larceny of sSS worth of silk goods from the company, was nolled in the police court Wednesday morn ing.
 This action was taken following 8 long conference Wednesday morning between officials of the company and Prosecuting Attorney E. Frank Bug bee. The prosecuting attorney in his statement to the court said that the officers of the company asked for le- nfency, as the accused had told the whole story of his transactions and taken the blame upon himself. No evidence was presented to the court.
 Tuesday evening the directors of tile Windham Silk company held a meeting. at which MT. Carpenter was present and the whole matter was cleared up. It is understood that Mir Carpenter has made restitution as far as he was able, and that out of con- sideration for his family, on whom the burden of conviction would fall, the directors decided to ask for lenieney in the matter

The amount carried on the building, was SIS, 800 and the sum allowed fer the loss was s&.156, There was no insur- ance oh either of the other garages in the read, both of which were total losses.
 Neither Mrs. Young nor has brother in-laSE, LeandeF- Smith, has decided on their future plans in connestion with the building. It was stated the day following the fire that the upper part of the structure would be rebuilt sub-i stantialIy as before the fire. at a req sonable sum, but the plans which are at present being considered would call for the erection of a modern hotel buildin~ on the site of the Johnson house and the tearing down of what is left of the old structure.
 1 new, modern hotel on Main street would add greatly to the appearance of the city and would. in the opinion of many, prove a good business prop osition from the start.
