PUTNAM

 on Sunday So Captain J. H. Bulger was informed. Wiskacy first attracted at tention while roaming about the streets 1 Sunday evening. Officer Chandler mo- ticed that the man acted somewhat queerly and seemed to be particularly interested in motor vehicles parked about the business section. The. officers first impression was that Wiskacy might be an automobile thief, so he kept close watch upon him and, finally, about 1.3o 1 Monday morning, decided that there was
 something radically wrong with Wis ] kacy so arrested him and locked him up l Search of the mans clothing revealed an unusual collection of properties, in- 1 cluding empty tobacco cans, pocket l full of corn, nuts. hairpins magazines l and a quantity of sliced apples. He also had what looked like half a pillow slip filled with sliced apples.
 1 A monogram on the mans shirt gave
 a clue that indicated that the prisoner | was an escaped inmate Of the Norwich 1 institution and a telephone conversation established this to be the case.
 This should prove a busy Tuesday
 morning in the Putnam city court, for l six men will answer to charges that 1 have been preferred against them since 1 the weekend. None of the sextette were held at the police station Monday,
 all having given satisfactory guarantee of their appearance today. Five of the
 men will be charged with having been I intoxicated.
 James Houghton. who lives in the Quadic section, will be charged with 1 violation of the motor vehicle laws.
 Cases assigned to he heard in the su-
 perior court in this city today fTuesday) will not go to trial and the iurymen who had been summoned have been notified
 not to put in an appearance.
 ! In the case of the Automobile Insur-
 ance company Ts Napoleon Muire postpon ement has been made necessary because the plaintiff, a resident of this Il that figures in the case be brought to this city in order that the court and |. juryrnen may have 8 chance to see Rt. This car was one of those seized here last winter when officers were rounding up cars stolen in different sections of New England and sold here to unsus- pecting purchasers. MT. Muire bought
 the car in good faith, but it was taken
 away from him and has since been re- sold; and the man now owning the ma chine is off on a tour. Another case as- , signed for today was that of the Fire mems Fund Insurance company vs. Jesse Rich of this city. One of the principal witnesses in this case is i'll, so the trial also must be delayed
 , There seemed to be doubt Monday as ! to whether there will be trial of the ? Bednarz-Chudak cases assigned for 3 Wednesday, so the weeks assignments are considerably upset
