WESTERLY

FOuce Cnlef Inon1dS E.. BroWn fldS finally received definite information from the police department of New York city relative to the theft of an automobile in that city by Sailors Love and Johnson, who were arrested here last Wednesday night, and the stolen automobile placed in a local garage. Chief Brown received a telegram that | member of the New York detective | force and the owner of the automobile | would arrive in Westerly on Monday, l hut they had not arrived when this 1 report closed.
 Love and Johnson are held here in | 5000 bonds each for the theft of an extra tire from the automobile of Will liam Brown of Mystic, and Johnson has the additional charge against him of operating an automobile with 1 out an operators license. Should the New York officer want the sailors to prosecute them for the theft of the automobile, they will be turned over to him and the eases against them have been discontinued.
 Soon after the arrest of Love and Johnson, who are stationed at the Brooklyn navy yard, the naval author itieS at New London were notified, and information came back that the naval authorities did not want the sailors, until formally released by the civil au tnorities and the punishment of their CT ime.
 But for the notification from the New York police. Love ana Johnson would have been committed to the Kingston jail to await trial before the superior court for Washington coun- tY. This will be their fate unless they are turned over to the representative of the New York police department.
