DR. ]. V. WAYTE's JEWEgRY
 TAKEN nY WAT ERBuRY LAWYER
Gay Film fIanamerss Case Recalled Doctor and A. ". Harrington Now Serving Sentences.

W --+A -~-e---t~t--
 Attorneys in Waterbury have taken the jewelry that J. " Wayte, alias Dr. 1 Paul Pareant, for time a resident | of Norwich, had when he was arrest- | ed here over month ago in con> | pany with a woman whom A. w. Har- | rington of Norwich claimed was his common law wife. MT. Harrington was sentenced in the last term Of the superior court on the charge of de- frauding a New London hotel.
 The Waterbury American says:
 The handsome gold watch and chain, expensive diamond ring, gold cigar clipper. manicure set and other articles seized from J. v. Wayte, alias Dr. Paul Pareant, at the time he was arrested for passing phony checks in this city, were removed from the clerks office in the superior court today, after Attorney Edward F. Swee- ney had filed a. bond of $500 with the clerk of the court. The three inter- ested attorneys, MT. Sweeney, Walter g. Monagan and John H. Cassidy, signed the order and Messrs. Mona- gan and Cassidy went surety for MT. Sweeney.
 You see when Dr." Pareant and Jennie Harrington, alias Jennie Pa reant, were arrested here last winter the costly jewelry was found on the male prisoner and taken from him. They were held until after the case had reached the criminal branch of the superior court, and until after Pareant had been sentenced to state l prison for a term of eight years, and 1 the young woman sent to jail for a year. Then a scramble was made for the articles in possession of the court, claims for them being, filed by the I prisoner himself A. w. Harrington, and also the woman prisoner. In ad- dition there were several claimants from Norwich, represented by Attor- ney Cassidy.
 Clerk Marsh couldn't dispose of the seized articles when there was a con- test on hand, and thereupon has held
 them ever since. A short time ago
 the lawyers interested in the matter I reached an agreement and decided to
 have the goods removed from the
 court house, filing the necessary bond
 to protect MT. Marsh from any fur
 ther claims that might be entered.
 Just what is to be done with the
 watch and chain, and the diamond ring is not known, but the lawyers vii
 probably reach some sort of an agree
 ment as to their disposition. "Dr.
 Pareant doesn't want them now, anC has so informed his attorney Int
 same is true of the woman in tn,
 case, and also of Harrington, the mucl , interested individual who got himsel in trouble for telling everybody O.
 his deep interest and concern in tn,
 affairs of the female prisoner. Dr." Pareant is now in the stat prison. His wife intends to movl
 to Hartford and be near the prison.

LETTER FROM "sHEP."

County Superintendent M. H. Shep
ard has written Miss Aloda Zinn, as
sistant superintendent, from Narrows
Va, where he went several days age
to eat hog and hominy and cracking
bread with the old folks at home. Mr.
Shepard states that he has enjoyed
the finest Christmas ever and that he
will soon be ready to return to his
official duties in Chickasha and buckle
down to work with a renewed vim and
vigor. In the letter Mr.. Shepard states
that miserable weather has prevailed
throughout the entire Blue Ridge sec
ton ever since he arrived at his old
home. This weather, Mr.. Shepard
says, has prevented him from stirring
about much, just forcing him to stay
in one place all the time and do
nothing but eat" Those who know
"Shep" feel sure he has done his duty
in the gastronomic lines.

BRING LAW BOOKS
IN TRUNKL0AD LOTS

Chickasha is a municipality of
about twelve thousand souls. This
catalog includes the saved and the un-
saved, together with a round dozen
leading citizens who make their per-
manent headquarters in the Grady
county JAIL Chickasha boasts one or
two schools, Carnegie library, three
or four beautiful churches, fine post
office building and federal court
structure, a goodly number of fair
| hotels, several beaneries, three rail
roads with stations attached, a coul.-y
courthouse with a district courtroom
of fearful and wonderful architecture
included within its innermost inwards,
first-class city Jail with hot and
cold baths and gentlemanly attend
ants, but unfortunately no city law
library.
The unfortunately "no law library"
clause is what probably induced, per-
suaded, caused and occasioned Hon.
Henry Asp and Hon. A. T. Boys, lead
ing legal lights of Oklahoma City, to
ship a couple of trunks, loaded to the
muzzle with legal tones, to Chickasha
yesterday.
Attorneys Asp and Boys have case
pending argument in the district
court this morning. Hence the artil-
lery
A large crowd of curious citizens
who CHANGED to see the several
trunks carried into the courthouse this
morning, was present when the trunks
were opened. The crowd thought the
trunks contained simple Spirits Of
frumenti," captured possibly in re-
cent raid by the county officers. Great
was the disappointment when the un-
loading of the trunks brought to bear
no red liquor but volume after volume
OF dangerous legal learning. Coke on
Lyttleton and Blackstone and the Fed
eral Reporter and the Pacific Reporter
and Cooley on Torts and Tiedeman on
Real Property and Greenleaf on Eyi-
dence and Kelly on Justice Practice,
and the Revised Statutes of Oklahoma
and the likewise Of Missouri, Ken
lucky, Arkansas, Texas, Nova Scotia,
New South Wales and New England
we're a part of the first.
And all because Chickasha has not
provided a library for the use of the
visiting brethren learned in the law.
The matter has, it is stated, been
taken up by the "clock committee" OF
the city, and steps will be taken at
an early date to provide a means oil
eliminating the necessity Of visiting
attorneys being forced to tote" COM
plete libraries into Chickssha.

SEPTEMBER MORN

The producers of September
Morn," newest most original and frol-
icsome of musical comedies, which
comes to the Sugg, Thursday, Jan
uary 6, are extremely proud of the
fact that they have gathered for the
Gillespie-Stauffer play remarkable
chorus and ballet; one that is said TO
even surpass the memorable one
gathered by Henry w. Savage for his
prince of Pilsen" company and
which he specially organized for tour
during the season of 1909-l910-a bou-
quet of beauty and basket of Piisen
peaches" that literally turned the
heads of the dillettante. History
chronicles the fact that this special
chorus flock were certainly some
birds" Now comes the Martin and
Lemle bunch with an assertion from
them that their round up" is a
snowy string with plenty of pace and
lots of vim, all of which give
cachet and elegance to the three dance
finales closing each of the farago.
They have all been put through their
PAGES and perfectly trained by Virgil
Bennett, the most accomplished
maitre d'ballet in this country.
