 stroy property made ael,lii,se fur pub lication the fact that :, letter n which 8 threat to destroy the big plant of the Connecticut Mills company was made, was received in. it's mail by that concern last, Saturday morning.
 Local and state officers were immedi- ately called, following the receipt of the letter and both the parent plant and the Main street plant (fornnerly the Danielson Cotton company mills) of the Connecticut Mills company have since been, closely guarded.
 For reasons that may not be given out Spanos immediately fell under sus- pfcion He was questioned .Jy mill oth- cials. but was permitted to depart after their interview with him. The :nvesti- gation was continued, however, with the result that a warrant for Srano3 ar rest was issued Monday. That day he went to Boston for visiT. When ire returned here on the 9.15 train Wednes- , day morning he was arrested by Dep uty Sheriff Charles E. Aye., Who with other officers has been watching for his return. Spanos Wednesday ;tenied authorship of the threatening letter. as 1 he did when first questioned Saturday i The letter that has led to Spanos ar l rest resembles in tone and general trend missiyes that have been issued by Reds ! in various cities in the United States during the past year and more. This i particular letter demands that the Connecticut Mills company make ar engagements to operate it's plant forth with and give employment to workers 1 Tor it will be destroyed by a bomb with time fuse" And for good measure the 1 writer, who gives assurance that he is 8 i friend, adds in really chummy way l that We will not stop for the life of the i watchman Or anybody else"
 II The letter bore the signature c. I. V.
 of 2S.
 l That the case will receive the closest
 attention Of officials here was very evil
 dent Wednesday, when arrangements
 were under way to sift the whole mat ter to the bottom. Such r,diculeusly II wild proposition as is made in thu letter that has led to the arrest of Spsnos has | startled officials and others here into
 activity that does not promise well Tor
 anyone who attempts to intro '1ce any
 of the methods of the Reds into this peaceful section of New Englani where the average worker is as mortified al the threat that has been made as per sons possibly could be who centemplats ts it's seriousness with any degree o1 thought.
 Some officials here regard the letter as marking the tendency of the time. l and the belief on the part of some alieI workers that they can hrowbeat con ccrns into doing their wishes. l is pat s eRt to everyone, fl was oointed out b. - mill official here Wednesday that n, e plant is idle because its owners. wish i e so for their losses are far greater il 2 such q time as this than any operative 2 possibly can be.
 VI -Iafl < +hx, A l. initiative of a single person or whethe IS it represents a group of idle operative # of the Connecticut Mills company ha o not been decided Wednesday in tn e minds of officials Investigating the cas- IT but the signature indicates to some tha $ the writer was acting for a committee.
 SDanos has been employed at tn
 Connecticut Mills plant for a consid
 erable time. Officials decline to giv
 out why he fell under suspicion. but ir
 dicata that their grounds are sufficient IS strong to warrant the action they teo "a in causing his arrest and charging hil IS with a threat to destroy property by us 1T of q bomb. Id A curious feature about the letter 2, the line that contains announcement ( fe the plan to destroy the mills with |. bomb With time fuse.'. This is take to indicate that the writer has bee k, reading in detail Of the activities of u r. Reds, in New York and elsewhere, ( in that he knows something of bombs an their constrpction.
