BECKETT IN FRANCE?
Information Cleaned From Message
 May Reveal Whereabouts of Man Branded as Deserter.

With Private Luman c. Beckett Of Company l. stationed at Willimantic. being sought as deserter. new twist to the case has appeared ard somewhat mystifies matters. Beckett sent a message to a friend in Hartford Wednesday of this week informing g that he will leave. the country Satur- day, bound for France, where he will serve with the entente allied troops. On the other hand. announcement was made Wednesday night by Cap tain A. H. Griswold of Company that Beckett had deserted his com pany, and requested that a watch be kept for his appearance in the city. And again, 1t has been learned that Beckett was seen about the city for week previous to the announcement that he had deserted. Whether he violated confidence during leave of absence is not known but appears probable because if he deserted a week ago it might be expected thac Captain Griswold would tell the po- lice here before. It also appears as though the message about his dePar- ture from the country is not true. be- cause no announcement has been made that he was given permission to leave Company I, and such an an nouncement would be made if he had been given permission to 20 to France. Developments are awaited with inter est.-Hartford Courant.
