MONTY TAKEN SICK
 AFTER HIS REAHHEsT
Found in Attic in VersaiIIes-Is Now
 in Cell at Police Station.

Since about 550 o'clock Monday af ternoon, George (Duke) Monty's ad- dress has been Cell 10, Norwich Po- lice Headquarters For the preceding 24 hours Monty had been enjoying a l period of liberty, but part of this time had been spent hidden away under a feather bed in the attic of his fatherss home in Versailles. It was here that Constable George Tetreault of Yer sallles found him on Monday after noon, when he searched the house. It was the first arrest that the consta- ble has made since bis recent ap- peintment. He brought the man at once to the station house here and Cell 10 has been Monty's domicile since except for the time that he spent in showing the station house force how he had made his escape. Monty,s idea in taking French leave on Sunday afternoell was that he could not stand being shut up all
 alone and he would be perfectly sat isfied to attend trial when notice of the time and place should have been given him through The Bulletin. He evidently didn't figure on whether this would satisfy the police or not. After he had been brought back to the police station he showed Chief ] Linton where he had left the follow ! ing note in the cliffonier in the wo- mems room, tntendinfi to have the po- 1 lice find it:
 To All Who This May Concern: l I have gone. but not for good. Pub fish the date, hour. etc, of my hearing
 in the Norwich Bulletin and I will be there without fail. 1 cannot stand | this loneliness alone.
 Respectfully yours truly,
 | G. H. MONTY. Esquire. He also showed how he had forced
 back the bolt of the Yale latch by using the wire from a toilet paper Fholder. Then he hid his implement under a mattress
 l During Monday night Monty claim ed that he was sick and Capt. D. ! Twomey called in Dr. A. c. Freeman The doctor found that Montv's stom-
 ach was upset and prescribed for hin
 with the result that Monty was feel ing better in a few hours.

 Greeneville, coming out near St Mary's cemeterv. Here he ran acros
 an automobilist who upon reques , took him in. He rode in the machin [ to Jewett City. They he decided t , return nearer to his home and wake } through Lisbon to a farm owned b l Clarence Mills. Here he invited him
 self to supper after which he hire - Mills to drive him to Versailles Dur g ing the ride to Versailles Monty claim g he covered himself over with a blan ) bet owing to the darnpness and whil . under cover he states that some ( = the officers out looking for him pass l ed.
