BAILEY HELD FOR TRIAL
 AND HART FINED $25
Trial Took Place in Great Bar rington Court Last
 Week

The trial of Robert Bailey and Henry Hart occupied the attention of the district court Wednesday morning and afternoon. Attorney John s. Stone appearing for the de- fendant and Attorney H. C.: joyner for the commonwealth. The plain tiff in the case was Charles Ellis of New Marlboro. There were two charges against the men, one of breaking and entering and another of larceny, to which they plead not guilty. The latter case was the alleged larceny of 20 chickens be- longing to the plaintiff.
 In the course of the testimony it was alleged that Bailey and Hart had appeared at the house of one James Taylor, colored, on tke night of February 19 about midnight and were given shelter before leaving for their homes, having atte:ided a dance in Sheffield. Testimony also showed that on their way to their respective homes it was necessary to pass the home of MT. Ellis The next morning MT. Ellis on going to feed his poultry discovered the loss of about 20 of them, and also found three which had been killed and left in the barn. On trip to Norfolk, Conn.,, he went to local market where he found what he believed to be the carcasses of his missing hens.
 The identity of these particular ak 1o11 ba x.1o17iI lively swear to before the court. His daughter, Mrs. Harry Elwell. cor roborated his testimony but was more positive in her assertion that one of the fowls had been the prop erty of her father. Another wit ness, MT. Gibbs of Southfield, testi- fled that he had received a basketful of poultry from Hart, who IT. turn testified that he had received them from Mrs. Canf1eld for whom he was working at the time, and vho he said had sent him to sell them at the market.
 Bailey was not called to the stand during the trial. William Connors of Norfolk, Conn.,, testified to MT. Hart's honesty and integrity during the years he had known him. As the evidence on the side of the common wealth was chiefly circumstantial the court bound Bailey over to the July sitting of the grand jury and fixed bail at $40O, which was not forthcoming at the conclusion of the trail.
 In regard to Hart the breaking and entering case was filed away but he was fined $25 on the charge of larceny, MT. Connors of Norfolk fur nishing the necessary funds. Edwin M. Stanton of Mill River, deputy sheriff, had charge of the men and had arrested them shortly after the alleged larceny.
 One of the features of the case was the claim of the defense that the purely circumstantial evidence was, in this case, not considered sufficient for the conviction of Bailey and for this reason the court was in justice forced to hold him for the grand jury session and until sufficient evidence could be obtained either to convict or find him not guilty.-Courier.
