PUTNAM

All business likely to be considered at the Octouer term of the superior court for the disposition of cases on the criminal list was probably cleared up by noon of Thursday, when adjourn ment was taken until Il a. m. this (Fri- day) morning. Adjournment was taken until today to permit of disposition of any case that might come into the office of the state attorney before II o'clock If no business develops adjournment to- day will be sine die.
 State prison sentences were imposed on three prisoners Thursday morning. It was anticipated that there would be trial of the case of the state vs. Charles Harris, who entered a plea of not gull ty last week, but his decision Thursday morning to change his plea averted this possibility and he, with his two com panions, Clarence Robinson and James Henry, all of whom finally pleaded guil- ty to larceny, were each sentenced to serve not less than two nor more than five years in the state prison.
 Harris, Robinson and Henry, all col ored, pleaded guilty to larceny in con- uection with a recent robbery of a freight car, from which goods valued at l S604 were stolen at Plainfeld. The goods consisted of pieces of cotton ma 1 terials shipped by manufacturing con- 1 cern. Harris was captured by railroad detectives when he and his partners re- l turned with a truck on night soon af- i ter the occasion on which the goods were removed from the car in which 1 they were to have been shipped and at- | tempted to carry away the loot. Rob- | inson and Henry escaped in the dark ness, but were aDprehended near this city by Captain J. H. Bulger and Off eer William Jarvas of the Putnam po- | lice on the morning, following their get away from Plainheld. All hail iron Providence. They took their sentence with the greatest calm. Harris even per hitting himself broad grin.
 Following the disposition of the cases against Harris, Robinson and Henry State Attorney Charles E. Searls recon mended that several cases on the pro bation list be noIled of the sentence i'm posed when the cases were before tht court indefinitely suspended. These in | cluded the cases of the state vs. Alloy sfus F. Ryan. carrying concealed weap ons; state vs. Stanley Kaminsky, theft state vs Amadee Durocher. breaking and entering; state vs. Angelo Lavana theft; state vs. Adore Benoit, statutor, and theft; state vs. Edward Mignault Dayville, stealing.
