The Italian section of Westerly was in turmoil in the first hours of We'd | Resday when the innocent were arous- ed from peaceful slumber, by the fre- l quent discharge of firearms directed l by the officers at the fellows who es- capped and attempted to escape arrest, for breaking into freight cars and of stealing therefrom general merchan- disc. For a long time, in spite of the vigilance of the railroad and local police, cars were broken open and the town of Westerly. It is claimed that upwards of s15,o00 worth of goods had been stolen while in tran sit at these places, where freight cars had been placed on sidings. The of fcers were satisfied that most of the stealing was done at Bradford.
 About a week ago, Captain Ed. Roche of the railroad police, and Thomas E. Brown, chief of the West
 eriy police were in consultation and Chief Brown suggested that two of
 night service at Bradford, and that Q
 third man. an Italian, be engaged to
 work with the suspects, supposed to
