suffered by the worthless check oper-
atoms OF Or. Paul Pareant, alias DIR.
J. Vernon Waite. in this city last
December, visited Waterbury on Tues
| day, where the doctor and his woman
companion, the wife of Alexander
Harrington OF this city, were arrested
last Saturday and are held for pre-
sentiment in the superior court.
Upon his return here the Norwich
man said that ne had been successful
| in Identifying among the goods that
| the Waterbury police seized in the
room occupied by the couple in a Wa
terbury hotel a number OF articles that
came from Norwich stores. These were
what the doctor and the woman Sc
cured by the tender of worthless
checks just before they left Norwich
| in the last week of December.
Among the articles identified were
a Norwich drug store, fur lined coat
that came from a Norwich store, and
some jewelry which probably came
from here, although there are some
points of dispute about that. 1t is
believed that all the articles secured
from Norwich stores will be recovered,
including a set of furs which were
bought for the woman who posed in
Waterbury as Pareant's wife.
Alexander Harrington in Waterbury.
Alexander Harrington of this city
and Brooklyn, n. Y, is in Waterbury
endeavoring to straighten out the mud
die in his wife's affairs with Pareant.
He explains her actions in deserving
him and running off with Pareant in
the same way that he did when he
first reported the case here the week
before Christmas. He claimed then it
was a case of hypnotism and he says
the same now in Waterbury.
Regarding Mr. Harrington's appear
ance in Waterbury on Monday, the
a orla Ranl1hiiCoY1 said.
Harrington has forgiven his wife for
running away from him and says he
is willing to pay all her debts and
take hsr back home with him. He
claims that all the while his wife was
with Paresnt that she was hypnotized.
There is no doubt but that he hyp-

think that she was under his influence
all the time that she travelled with
| him.
Mr.. Harrington advanced another
1 theory as to Pareaat's antecedents. He
said that a. one time Pareant was a
| butler in a New JERSEY summer re-
sort. He never was e. doctor, Mr..
Harrington says, unless. perhaps" he
added, he was a horse doctor"
! Introduced in Norwich.
MY wife and 1 got along nicely
until we became acquainted with Par
can't" he said. I'VE were living in
Norwich at the time and through mu-
tuaI friends Pareant was introduced
to us. He came rather highly recon-
mended and we did not doubt but that
he was all he represented himself to

| before he finally left town.
Wife Not Responsible

what he said all the time.

with that scoundrel, I'll forgive hel
