A government agent and immigration
officer from Boston made an unheralded
call on Virginia Laffargo with warrant
for his arrest on the charge Of being an
anarchist Mr. Root, the agent, served
the warrant Wednesday night and it
was complete surprise TO the North
Main street printer, employed in the
printing establishment of Henry Fasola
known as the Modern Printing company
This warrant was issued In Washington
D. c., on Aug. IL, 1918, and since that
time has been lying in the Boston de-
partment of labor office, apparently
waiting for someone TO make trip in
this direction Laffargo, reputed to be a
quiet and peaceable Italian, who has re-
sided in Barre for the past 20 years,
working at his trades as q baker and
printer, was enjoying the comforts Of
home life when the officer appeared and
ii took some few minutes for him to
realize Just what the agent was about.
Mr. LafFargo sought the counsel of At
torney j. Ward Carver, who, together
with the agent. made o thorough inyes.
tigation of the case Mr. Root was com
pletely satisfied that Latfargo did not
believe in the creed which he was charged
with espousing and though the papers
demanded that he be taken to Boston,
Mr.. Root returned without him, satisfied
that he had found the man he sought
but that he was a very peaceable and
quiet citizen. However Mr.. Laffargo is
held under $1,000 bond, for his appear
ance in Boston later, if wanted Antonio
Fasoli and Orreste BofIino went bail
for HIM just how this warrant
came to be issued is unknown to any
one implicated in the investigation here.
Mr.. Root believes it resulted from an
arrest of an anarchist in Boston, former.
" workman in this city. He at one
time asked Mr. Laffargo if he was an
anarchist and was assured that he was.
This Mr.. Laffargo acknowledged yester-
day but when questioned as to the mean
ing of the word gave definition entirely
different from the usual Interpretation
