The accrsed was John Welch, a big fellow, who says he came from Maine and intend ed to work in the Noank ship yard Patrolman Thomas Fox. of the Mystic section of the town. has been satisfied for some time that there was more or less bootlesging going on in his juris- diction but it had been extremely dif- h3ult to obtain sufficient evidence to warrant arrest. Tuesday night he saw Welch talking to a group of sail ors and he determined to watch what might transpire to the finish. and he forthwith donned civilian clothes. and laid aside his uniform. He saw Welch leave the sailors and go to a saloon, When Welch came out he went direct to where the sailors were in waiting, with Fox close behind. Welch pro- duced a large bottle of whiskey and was in the act of handing it to one of the sailors, when Fox interfered grasped the bottle, saying: I'll take that. and I'll take you, too" address. ing Welch. The big fellow from Maine hesitated for a moment, but when Fox laid hand on him he went to the lock. up without resistance.
 When in court this charge read to him was: You are charged, without having license. therefore, ,->did keer sspirituous and intoxicating liquor with intent to sell. and did sell to sailor or sailors of the United States navy spfrituous and intoxicating liouor.'

A Norwich -bound trolley car, the
 touring car of A. Caplan of New Lon
 don. and the motor-tr of Isaac
 Sherman, were in a side collision in
 Broad street, at the head of Main.
 just before noon, Wednesday, but the
 total resultant damage will probably
 not exceed $100. The trolley car and
 Caplan car were going in the same di- rection toward Dixon square and the Sherman truck was going in the direc- ton of the bridge and to Pawcatuck. The three vehicles were abreast, just as the trolley car went onto the main line from the Stonington branch. MT. Cap1an's car was to the left of the trolley car and on the left side of the street, and he saw that there was not room for his car to pass between the trolley car and the truck. He applied the emergency brake but it did not hold. The Caplan car struck the rear fender of the truck, bent the fender and did slight damage to the truck. Then the touring car slowed against the trolley caA, which was quickly brought to a standstill, but not before the side of the trolley car bore evil dence of the collision, in the scraping 1 off of a streak of paint.
 The forward axle of the Caplan car was bent, the left forward wheel dam- aged and minor damages done to the forward end. After making temper airy repairs the car was started under l it's own power for garage, but on reaching Dixon square, the tire of the
 dansaged wheel gave way. Then there
 was brief delay before proceeding tc the garage. Mr. Caplan says it is the | first time he had driven the car and | supposed the brakes were reliable. Po- 1 liceman Curtin was witness of the ac- cident and took the names of the oper- ators of the three vehicles and theil designating numbers.
