A woman's purse, opened and yawning
empty, was picked up this morning near
the refuse can at the junction Of North
Main, Elm and Washington streets and
its presence there may point to robbery,
as il is not considered probable that the
! owner would throw away an article
which was in good state of preservation.
One theory is that robber, after remov-
ing the contents of the purse, hurled the
receptacle away as Of no use to him or
her and because it might prove damaging
evidence If found on the person. The po-
lice have received no report of the theft
Of purse lately. The purse can be seen
at The Times office, where it was brought
by the finder.
After eight months voluntary service
in the United States army, seven weeks
of which were spent in the trenches of
northern France, Sergeant John Amedy
of Barre felt the longing for home and
for sight Of his wife and four children so
strong that after returning to this coun-
try he could not wait for furlough and
came through from Colonia, N. j., with
out that necessary paper. That took
about all his avalable cash and he did
not have the money with which To pur-
chase a return ticket So Sergeant Amedy
has been staying at his home here, mabs
| ing no effort at conceaIment but never
theless violating regulation of the serv-
ice. Yesterday the call came from the
army camp at Coloua, n. j., to hold Ser
geant Amedy, and the police took him in
charge at once TO await the arrival OF a
guard from Fort Ethan Allen. The guard
came to Barre this forenoon and took the
Barre man in charge. Sergeant Amedy is
member of the 49th L. S. infantry.
