TAYLOR IS HELD
Outlaw Who Said He Would Kill All
Policemen, is Now Lodged III
Windsor County Jail.

East Windsor, Conn, Nov. 22.-
Connecticut laid first claim to Claud
R. Taylor, outlaw, captured in Will
ington yesterday, when the man was
presented before Judge Ralph M.
Grant here this noon, charged with
stealing a horse, wagon and harness
from Paul Smith of this town, the
property being worth $500. Horse
stealing has been felony in this state
even back to Colonial days and the
court, after Taylor had pleaded guilty,
declined to take jurisdiction and held
him in $4,000 bonds for the superior
court.
Taylor refreshed after a night in
the Hartford Jail, was brought here
by machine heavily ironed and state
policemen Hurley and Wheeler were
his guards. He was returned to Jail
at once. Massachusetts wants him
for horse thefts and hold ups commit
ted in Ware and other places.
Taylor has served eleven years in
prison and in letter written, but not
mailed. to a Springfield paper, he
threa tened the lives of several per
sons. He says that three years IN
prison would have made a man of
him, but that eleven years behind the
bars caused him to hate society,""
Society," he said, would have to square
accounts for his being in prison for
such a length of time.

lea.
AS for the five who did not appear
at headquarters, the Herald adds, it is
reported that when found harsh mea-
sures against them will be taken.
The American provost marshal
here. explaining the roundup Of am
bulance men said that about 800
young men whose enlistment as am
bulance drivers in the French army
had expired had refused to enlist in
the American army and were lettering
about Paris. They have been in
formed that within a fortnight they
must enlist. or return TO- America.
The French authorities will be
asked to cancel their residence per-
mits and the American army authori-
ties will take up their passports unless
they enlist or return voluntarily to
the United States.
The provost marshal general as
serted that many Of these men had
not registered under the selective
draft law, and that their presence in
Paris, where they are idle would not
be tolerated.

delay gave British time to develop
the Germans would be successful If
