EL0PERS ARRESTED
FOR MASS. POLICE
Honeymoon on Church Street In
terrupted by ConStable's Arrival

Matrimonial aspirations of James
Cavanaugh, 26, of Southbridge, Mass,
and Annie Bouchey, IT, Of Charlton,
Mass, received a setback last night
when they were arrested in room
at 20 Church street by Policeman
William Strolls and Constable Patrick
J. Daily of Massachusetts,. Cavanaugh
is charged with statutory offense to
which, it is expected, bigamy will be
added. A marriage license in their
possession showed that they were
married in Waterbury, November 2.
They were taken back to Massachu-
setts early today by Constable DAILY,
who has been trailing them since
October 81, the date the two are al
legged to have disappeared. Cava-
naugh says that the legal action is
all wrong and contends that the
woman with whom he has been liv-
ing in southbridge during the past
six years is not his legal wife. The
latter. according to Constable DAILY.
has a different opinion and plans to
prove it. The statutory charge Is
brought as a result Of alleged con-
duct October 81, prior to the second
marriage.
Cavanaugh and the Bouchey girl
we're accompanied to Waterbury and
New Britain by John F. Tully Of
South bridge and Miss Annie Casey of
Charlton City. They witnessed the
Waterbury wedding. 1t was an
nounced that they also plan a ven
ture into matrimony as soon as the
tive-day license law is complied with
and the consent of Miss Casey's rela-
tives can be secured. Her age is
given as 16 years.
When Cavanaugh left Southbridge
he Is alleged to have sold an auto
mobile belonging to the women known
as his wife as we'll as to have taken
her wedding ring, petticoats, locket
and chain. The wedding ring is said
to have been the one used in the Wa
lerbury ceremony.

"Abyssinia is a WIDELY inland ma
ton, being cut off from the Red sea
and the Gulf Of Alden by French and

from forty to $50 miles. To the north

the Anglo Egyptian Sudan. The
whole empire, which was formerly
known as Ethiopia, lies within the
tropics. although most of the in

the climate is temperate and health

"Adis Ababa has an elevation of
more than a mile and q quarter above
sea level. so that although it is in the
same latitude as the Isthmian seaport
of Panama, it enjoys a most salubri-

CAMPBELL CONVICTED ON
GAMBLING CHARGE

In Judge Balls court, Monday all
dav. the counsel for the defense of
O.. Campbell and Jess Sutton, held
on a gambling charge, kept up a stub
born fight, and finally after supper
they prevailed upon the jury to &C
quit Sutton, on some t~echnicalities.
Their principal point was that SUIT
ton ought not to be convicted on a
Ncharge in connection with which he
Ihad spoken at the coroner's trail
under compulsion, because no man
can lawfully be made to testify
against himself. It made no partic-
Mar difference to the jury in this
case that the defendant testified to
nut himself clear and not against
himself at the coroner's inquest. He
had testified on the subject of the
matter which brought him to trial,
the game at Campbell's house.
O. Campbell was found guilty of
gambling and sentenced to 80 days
in iail and to pay a 5000 fine. Cum
mings and Jones were made states
witnesses and it was proven that a
gambling game was in progress at
Campbe1l's home on the night of the
sheriff's visit which ended in the
shooting of John Harvey. The sheriffs
took away parafernalia such as al
WAYS is used in gambling games, and
some things not so common; a
strange device vas found, a card
with the tops of four kings on 1t,
evidently intended to appear to be a
row of kings placed over each timer.
