for the. theft of an automobile spare tire, the property of William Brown Of Mystic. the. theft being committed | in Main street, Westerly. The arrest 1 led to the discovery that the automo- 1 bile in which the sailors arrived had | been stolen in New York city, Oct II. 1 Chief Brown communicated with the | New York police department, report i ing the recovery of the stolen automo- bile and awaited patiently for instruc- tions from that source. As none came the sailors were arraigned in the Third district, court. pleaded nolo 10 the charge of the theft of the automobile tire, and were held in 5000 bonds each. This case has been discontin- ued
 AS they were about to be committed 70 the Kingston jail, information came 1 from New York that an officer and the owner of the automobile would be l 1T. Westerly on Monday for the sailors and the car. but they did not arrive | on schedule time. but they did come i Tuesday night. The officer is Detec-
 tive William J. Hussey of the auto
 mobile section of the New York po- l lice department, and the owner of the | car is Maurice Holt, of brooklyn, q
 chemical manufacturer, and treasurer
 of the Preston Chemical company, h. corporated.s
 The detective explained that the de- iay in action was due to the difficulty I !n getting Mr.. Holt to come to West erly and identify the car. He is em- Ployed in war work in Washington and
 would prefer to remain in Washing ton rather than to lose time and mon e., too. in making the trip to West erly According to the detective, MT Holt did not seem to mind the loss of the car, and came with reluctance
 to recover his property. The sailor lads say they sold the spare tire val ued at $64 at New London garage
 for s.
 Detective Hussey said the car had been previously stolen last August and
 the thief is awaiting sentence. At that
 time the engine number, and other
 numbers of Identification were cn....etu
 and that some time was spent in sat-
 lsfymg the police department whether
 the car held in Westerly was really Mr. Holt's car, although it more the
 correct registry number plate. The car was readily idertied by Mir. . Holt, and the cases against Love and
 Johnson in the Third district court
 were discontinued With Mir Holt al
 the wheel, and Detective IIussey and the two sailors as passengers in the
 stolen car, start was made from Vest erly for New York at o'clock We'd
 nesday morning.
 Chief Brown tried to collect the cost
 of feeding the sailors for a week pending action by the New York po- 5 lice department. but the detective diJ Tot know of any fund available lui
 that purpose. The wealthy cnemica r manufacturer made no offer to make
 good the expense. It is cases of thi:
