SPAULDINC is
REARRESTED AS
he LEAVES JAIL

Charles F. Spaulding, alias c. F.
Craig, stepped from Jail today after
serving a one years sentence for forg-
cry only to be re-arrested on a war
rant from Pawtucket, R. l., upon a
similar charge. When arraigned to-
day in the City Court before Judge
Bartlett, he refused to waive eNtradi-
ton rights and was vemanded in 81, coo
bail by the court until tomorrow.
It will be remembered that little
more than a year ago Spaulding or
Craig, tried to cash a check for $40 at
the Atlantic Hotel, but the clerk be-
ing suspicious would only advance
him $40 on the paper while he inves-
tigated. While this check was being
lohed up, he cashed another one on
saloonkeeper for $40 and shortly af-
terwards was arrested.
1t developed that the method adopt
ed by Spaulding was to mail the
checks to himself from another city
and endeavor to get the hotel at
which he stopped to cash them.
While in Pawtucket, Spauldins
cashed a check for SIS signed by Ed
Fouler, and drawn on the Hampton
National Bank, Westfeld, Mass. He
| induced Frank R. SayweIl, of Paw
tucket, to cash the check which was
soon found to be forgery

COURT REBUKES
lawyer ACTING
IN MURDER CASE

eff this was not a case of murder
in the first degree where the life of a
man is at stake, I would not consider
your notion" Judge John P, Kellogg
in the Superior court today told Judge
N. c. Downs of Stamford, who had
asked for delay in the trial of the case
of John Chingos of Danbury, accused
of the murder for the killing of Alb
dullah Khougan in that city August
81 last.
at appears that you are counsel
for this man and it was your duty to
prepare the case whether you had re-
ceived your money or not. You have
not prepared your case, and unless ]
grant this motion we would have to
try a man for his life with his case
unprepared- I do not feel We should
dofsuch thing. For that reason, and
that reason alone, I will continue the
case until the May term of court"
Judge Kellogg said he would take
up the matter of appointing counsel
for Chingos so the case may be ready
for the next term of court.
When court opened States Attorney
Cummings announced he was ready to
proceed with the trial of Chingos, who
was indicted at the September term OF
court. An extra panel of 40 jurors
had been called, and he said the state
was ready.
Judge Downs explained he had beer
approached by friends of the accused
! asked to undertake the defense, anG
a sum of money had been paid him
with the promise of more within few
| days. He had not received any further
| sum.

British Steamer Brings
in Survivors and Four
Dead Bodies.
TWO WASHED OFF
FLOATING HAVEN
1ll-Destined Vessel, the
Cherokee, Was in
Coast Service.

Washington, Feb. 27 - The
naval tug Cherokee, formerly
belonging to the Luckenbach
Steamship Co., foundered yes
terday off Fenwick Island light
ship, 22 miles south of the Del
aware capes.
The Navy Department made
this announcement "The Navy
Department is advised that the
U. S. S. Cherokee, a navy tug,
foundered yesterday morning
off the Atlantic coast. Of the
10 aboard-five officers and 35
enlisted men-10 had been
landed at last accounts, these
having been taken to Philadel-
phia. Four dead were picked
up by steamships.
THE 10 known survivors got away
in the first life raft. -Four got away
on the second life raft, but two were
washed overheard and the other two
were dead when picked up by Brit
ish steamer
At o'clock yesterday morning a
wireless station on the coast. picked
up a call for help from the Cherokee.
The call was located at a point about
Is miles off the coast. Immediately a
naval coast patrol crew manned a
small cutter and started out in a so
mile gale to search for the distressed
tug. After an all day hunt the crew
returned last night and reported that
nothing had been found. 1t is sup
posed that passing vessels had picked
up the survivors and the dead before
the cutter reached the scene.
Announcement was made at the
Philadelphia maritime exchange thai
a British steamer, which passed the
quarantine station at Marcus Hook
was summoned by wireless to the as
| sistance of the Cherokee by another
| British steamer.
When this vessel arrived at the To-
cality where the tug foundered the
| crew wicked up two bodies of the
| crew. The ship steamed about the
| sea in the vicinity for some time bu
| failed to find any more dead survivors
| No trace of the lost tug was seen.
The Cherokee formerly was known
as the Edgar F. Luckenbach and wa!
requistioned by the United State
navy in October, 1917. She was bull
in 1891 at Camden, N. J., and regis
| tered PTS tons gross. Prior to he
being taken over for government US
the tug was engaged in towing barge
between north Atlantic ports.

as civilians when they boarded a train
shortly before 8 o'clock this morning
that delivered them into Camp Dew
ems, Aver, Mass.
They went as part OF the states last

tive draft army. The four men were
al from Division -Four. The rest of
the city's Is per cent. increment were
sent to Long Island forts in Decem-
Der to fill vacancies in the National
Guard Coast Artillery units.
AS the train passed through the
state more than 1000 other draftees
were picked up. The numbers in
other cities and towns were larger, be-
cause of the fact that most of Bridge

! in December. The men were due to

! afternoon.
The local boards are now prepar-
ing for the next call and are rushing
