Norwich bulletin., 1920-03-17

The police have recovered still another lot of the loot taken from freight cars, yet all that has been To- cated is but comparatively small portion of the quantity stolen. Mon day evening at Phsbe Rock in the woods lying between Oak street and Narragansett avenue, with, the aid of boys of a searchisg party, were found several rolls of sneeting, cuts of suit i ing for men and women, boys cloth- 1 ing, blankets, stockings and another | large lot of army cloth. This lot was | placed in the woods before the goods l recovered Sunday were, put there, as l these good were rain soaked, while l the latter were dry and must have l been left in the woods Saturday night. 1 It is evident that undetected thieves are removing the loot from their prem l ises in the hope of avoiding detection, l the police being satisfied that the two | large lots of merchandise found in the l woods were not in the hcusAs search | ed Friday of last week. when seven men were arrested charged with theft 1 froM the freight cars at Bradford and | Westerly. One of these men was re- | leased and the other six are out on bail, five on s5,eoe each and one on l ss.oso. It is believed that all the
 
 f ound when they were arrested. | Both the local and railroad po- | lice are of the opinion that there are at least sixteen men directly iMp1i- | eated in these freight ear breaks. In | fact Sergeant Greene and Patrelfnan Parkinson of the rialread police, who iswitnessed the breaking and entering l of a freight car at Bradford, counted that number in the gang. The officers captured the man on gfiuard, and while taking hin to the railroad tow er to summon aid from New London, the men the officers locked in the car made their escape.
 . Much of the army cloth recovered had been cut, into lengths of three yards. showing that the thieves. or their aecomplices had been busied in an effort to make an equal division of the spoils. Some of this cloth was used in making-up boys suits. as tive unfinished jackets were found in the merchandise recovered.
 Not far from Phebe Rock, the police found a smaller pile of water soaked stock, which included skirts under wear, stockings and cigarettes.
 As these thefts cover quite a period there is reason to believe that dress goods and suitings have been disposed of in New London, in Norwich and il | have reached Dew York It is als, kown that suk pieces have been di! posed of right here in Westerly.
