Inquiry in Barre Satisfied Manchester
Police About Harry Mason

A message from Manchester, N. H.,
stating that Harry Mason was held be-
cause of failure to show a registration
card, was relayed by Chief Connolly of
Montpelier to Barre police headquarters
this forenoon, with the result that Chief
Sinclair this afternoon opened the way
for the mans release by assuring the
Manchester authorities that Mason had
registered. When Mason was detained
by the Manchester police it was suspect
ed that he had failed to register, al
though the man declared that his blue
card was in the possession of his wife in
Montpelier, The police in the capital got
the message of inquiry and then it de-
veloped that Masons wife lived in Barre.
When interviewed by Chief Sinclair at
her home, "a Elm street, Mrs. Mason
produced card showing that her hus-
band registered here in June.
Mason left Barre some time ago, after
having worked here as derrickman. and
is said to have been employed lately in
Manchester The police here were of the
opinion that no other charge had been
preferred against Mason in Manchester
and that he would be released at once.
