INVESTIGATION
OF CULLEN CASE
IS INSTITUTED

Under the direction of Governor M.
H. Holcomb the State Aid Society. an
organization connected with the State
Board Of Charities. will investigate
what seems to be an effort upon the
part of the town of New Fairfield and
relatives to shift the care of Arthur
W. Cullen of New York, believed in
sane, to the county and the state.
Cullen Is not INDECENT, but has bank
books showing considerable deposits
and other sources of income.
Early this week Cullen was received
at the county Jail in Bridgeport by
Sheriff S. e. Pease on commitment
from New Fairfield on a charge Of as
sault. He was sentenced for 80 days,
and with the costs in the case might
have to serve about 10 days more. 1t
was soon ascertained in the Jail that
Cullen is not mentally competent.
The assault for which Cullen was
committed was but trivial affair and
occurred in New Fairfield.
Sheriff Pease did not like the aspect
Of the case and reported it to Cover
nor Holconb.
