. in city court Wednesday afternoon, hav'
ing been arrested by Deputy Sheriff +, u,
( Campbell in Alton, n, H., last Tuesday
afternoon on the charge of non support,
for which the officer has held warrant
for few weeks. Bennett pleaded guilty
to the charge and was given sentence
OF four TO five months in the house Of

where he is employed on a farm. Dep
uty Sheriff L. +. Campbell did "A clever
piece of work in catching the man.
Through a relative OF his coming TO Wa.
terbury and shipping goods to one Ar.
thur Edwards in Alton Mr. Campbell
was able 10 trace the man to that town,
having found that IL was BENEFITS goods
that were shipped. He went TO Alton
Monday night, where he located the man
through the constable in that town. Ben
nett was arrested and made no objection
to coming TO Vermont. The history OF
the case goes back to complaint made
last winter TO the states attorney that
the children of the man and wife were
not being properly cared for and that
they were sent home from school because
they were not properly clothed Condi-
lions were found TO be very bad. Finally
two of the children were taken from the
family and are now in charge of the
board of charities and probation, while
the third is in the insane hospital. One
Of the children had TO sleep in the barn
because the family would not allow it in
the house last fall. There is also a
charge against Bennett and his wife in
county court, each of whom was on ST. !
900 bail. Bennett signed an order on
Wednesday afternoon so that the re-
mainder of that sum will be used in sup |
porting the two children. There is some
expense TO the town of Waterbury, a |
note of SIS and costs of the procedure |
which took place Wednesday that will |
be deducted from the 81 900 before the
amount is turned over to the state.
