CHARLES RYAN GASSED IN
 FRANCE

Captain Joseph A. Ryan of the po- lice department has received a letter from his son, Charles, who is in France with an infantry regiment, telling him of his son being gassed. The incident occurred while Private Ky an was asleep in his dugout, with a group of other men of the command. It appears that the Germans had been drenching that sector with gas for some time and that some of this gas, which had cleared away in the open spaees above ground had seeped down into the dugout, where all were asleep, and so were without warning cf it's deadly presence. Private Ryan escaped any severe effects of the gas, however, and from what he says in his letter it is probable that he has finally recovered by this time.

ABSCONDING HOTEL CLERK ARRESTED AS HE STEPPED
 FROM PORTO RICO BOAT
Arthur P. Hamlin Took Money From Putnam
 Inn Safe And Fled Last March
Had Been Porto Rico As Steward-Bames Rum
 and Women for Downfall.

Arthur P. Hamlin, formerly clerk in the Putnam Inn, was arrested at Yonkers, N. Y, Thursday. by County Detective William Jackson, when he stepped from a boat that had just ar rived from Porto Rico. Hamlin was apprehended on a warrant charging him with embedding $335.24 from K. C Rogers of the Putnam Inn. Ham lin waived extradition and was imme- diately brought to Connecticut He was kept in Willimantic over Sunday and Monday morning was brought to Putnam in an automobile and ar raigned in the Putnam city court. He pleaded guilty
 Hamlin said: "The only thing ask is that the court and Mir Rogers will allow me to earn the money. This Is my first offense of this kind, and it will be my last'
 Hamlin was bound over to the su- uerior court under bond of 5000, and being unable to furnish it, was taken to jail.
 While in Putnam Hamlin dressed neatly and was of good appearance. Monday morning he wore dark grey suit of coarse material without vest. His hair was not neatly trimmed and his face had not felt razor for few days. He appeared to have been hay ing rough time since he left Putnam in the early morning hours with the money of his employer on his person.
 Hamlin was in Putnam some weeks before his disappearance. He was recommended by hotel employ ment agency While he did not inn press MT. Rogers very strongly, he was in need of help and took the man on temporarily.
 On Friday morning, March 22, when Landlord Rogers of the hotel came down stairs, he started to check up the cash as his first duty. He went to> open the cash register on the desk and found that it was open al ready and also empty. He made fur ther investigation and found that the cash from the safe had also disappear ed. He was immediately suspicious and went to see if the night clerk,
Putnam patriot., 1918-09-13

Hamlin, was in his room. He found he was missing.
 Mr. Rogers immediately got busy. It was learned that Hamlin had hired an automobile from Pepin's garage and was taken to Providence at O. clock in the morning. Mir Rogers got a quick start and went to the Rhode Island city and notified the police there He also made investigation himself, going to several morning trains. It has since been learned that Hamlin spent the night at the Dor rance hotel, after meeting a woman. He slipped through the police and boarded a train for New York.
 Mir. Rogers returned to Putnam. He said after his return that he would get Hamlin and was willing to spend money to do so. He notified
 he state police and other officials and kept on quietly with his own investi- gation MT. Rogers takes the stand that it is the duty of every citizen, so far as possible, to bring to justice such people as Hamlin. He also be- Iieved that it was a duty he owed oth- CT hotel men and the hotel mems as sociation, to put Hamlin where he would not fleece others.
 Mir. Rogers has kept in close touch with the pursuit of Hamlin since the first and. while not caring for person. al credit for his apprehension, is well satisfied with the result obtained.
 County Detective Jackson has been at work on the case a great deal, wis iting one place and another. It was learned that Hamlin went to New York. where he gave the woman the money he got dishonestly and got lit tel if any benefit from it himself. He shipped to France on transport as a steward and after his return shipped on a vessel to Porto Rico. This was learned and when the vessel reached the Yonkers pier on the return trip the officer nabbed his man.
 After the arrest, the officer says, Himlin admitted his guilt and said that liquor and women were to blame for his troubles. He said that if al lowed the chance he would work and pay back the money.
