was glad to hear of the scheme toes

expressed his regret at having had to

he would be able to visit these. is

eight shots were fired. Grassette
was shot through the hand and
George Savage, the driver of the
bandit car,>rece:ved a revolver
wound in the right hand. Grass
cites SON and two other liquor run
ners from Boston who were driving
a Hudson car We're oresent when
the shooting took place at the farm
in Abercorn.
An interesting phase of the case
hangs on the disposition Of the
1S0 quarts of liquors which were
captured by the St. Johnsbury Of
ficers. The liquor it is said does
not belong to the men who had it
in their car as it was stolen from
Grassette. If they did steal the
liquor, as alleged, the liquor be-
longs to Grassette and he is en-
titled to it, and it is held by some
customs officers, that it would have
to be returned him.
The rum running expedition
started Wednesday night from
Pawtucket, r. l., where the trio
in Savage's Packard car outfitted
for the expedition to Carada IN
search of a cargo Of liquor. Ac-
cording to Savage's story to the
sheriff ,Breght and Benkosky had
been to Canada before Oh rum
runring trips. He claims that
they agreed to give him $500 for
the use of his car and that ne was
to drive the car.
The party arrived in st. Johns
bury Thursday afternoon and
went to the Corner Garage where
they secured gas and had some
repair work done. They talked
freely among the men at work
there that they we're on a rum
running" trip. They went through
to Newport on Thursday night
and Friday went to Magog where
they expected to get a load of
liquor. They visited place where
Benkosky claimed he had secured
liquor before, but could not locate
the party they had dealt with OF
The previous visit.
They had the address of a party
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1921-08-01

in Abercon, P. G., so on Friday
they drove back to Newport and to
Richford and late Friday after
noon located the party in Abercon.
Arrangements were made for the
delivery of the liquor early the
next morning so the party drove
to Bowen's Corner where they
camped for the night. They clean
ed the spark plugs Of their car and
made it ready for fast getaway.
At 5 O'Clock Saturday morning
they were back at the farm house
five miles from Richford and
about four m les across the Inter
national boundary in Canada
where they secured the load Of
liquor.
The men tell conflicting stories
as to just what happened when
the liquor was delivered. One of
them says that he remained outside
the farm house while the other
two went inside and made arrange
ments for the delivery of the 400
quarts of Scotch whisky, rum, gin
and alcohol. He claims that
there was some conversation in
the farm house between the three
men at the farm, who had charge
of the liquor, and two of the
Pawtucket men. His story is that
he was then ordered to back into
the stable where the "a cases of
liquor were loaded in the back
seat of his car and it drove out
into the yard while the five men
returned TO the house. This man
claims that he had heard CONVEX
sation between Breght and Benkos-
ky that there were going "to stick
up" the owner of ire liquor. This
in the parlance of the underworld
means that he men expected to
get possession Of the liquor with
out paying for it.
According to this mans story he
heard shooting in the house and
saw Breght and Benkosky rush
out of the house and made a dash
for the car. Thew were firing as
they ran. One or two men of the
party in the house rushed out and
fired at the car which with Breght
and Benkosky on the running
board sped off down the road with
the liquor. Savage was wounded
in the left hand by the shots from
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1921-08-01
Groton about five minutes behind

Groton about five minutes behind
the bandit car.
At Groton was staged a scene
thai would do credit to western
movie thriller. Deputv Morris d..
Cofirin, the former well known
side judge of Caledonia county had
received the message from Sheriff
Worthen at North Danville to be
on the watch for the Rhode Island
car. He secured the aid of a
driver of a Ford truck who swung
his car across the main highway
and the news that a booze run
ming car was about to arrive ia
Groton brought out 40 to SO citi-
zens who awaited its arrival.
They did not have long to wait.
The booze car swept into town and
the driver of the Packard seeing
the crowd and the obstruction in
the street made turn to swing
up over the Little Italy road but
seeing this was futile the car
swung down the street and stopped
as two of the men jumped out on
the running board and with drawn
revolvers ordered the crowd to
stand back. Deputy Sheriff Cof-
frin demanded the men give them
selves up instead. one Of the men
jumped to the side of the deputy,
ordered him to hold UP his hands
while he searched him for a
weapon, and finding the deputy
unarmed ordered IN with a series
Of choice oaths to go over to a
rock bv the side of the road and
sit down and stay down. The
deputy did as he was told as he
was looking into the muzzle of {,
ugly looking U. S. army A caliber
automatic.
The other bandit held back the
crowd while the Ford truck driver
was told to move his car out of
the road. When he told the men
he would not do so he was struck
two severe blows in the head and
body with the butt of revolver
and he decided to move the car:
While this scene was being en-
acted several Groton men took
quiet sneak from the crowd and
got home to get rifles and revol-
yers. Upon their return they
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1921-08-01

found the bandit car had passed
the Ford and had started at full
peed over Bradley hill in the direc-
ton of Topsham. This is a rough
mountain road steep and rocky.
Paul Gage, the Groton garage
man soon had a posse organized
and he took the speediest car he
had in the garage and with four
men armed with rifles and revolv-
ers gave chase. After about three
miles the Page car began to over
haul the Packard so that the men
fired three shots into the Packard
car in the hope of blowing out a
tire or soaring the men into giving
up. But the Packard swept on up
the hill and at crossroads the
chase had become so hot that the
car was swung sharply up another
steep grade which it quickly be-
came evident ,owino' to the rough
ness of the road the car could not
make at high speed. Then the
bandits ran their car into the ditch
and abandoned it. The three men
disappeared in different directions.
During this time Sheriff Wor-
then and his party had reached
Groton and resumed the trail to-
wards Topsham. Sheriffs in other
counties had been notified and
the web was being drawn closer
about the bandit every hour.
The first man to be captured
was George Savage the owner of
the Packard car, who claims he
was offered $500 for the trip and
did not take any part in the shoot
ing at Abercon or in the buying
of the liquor He aid he got into
the woods and hid for nearly two
fhours under a small tree. ne
heard the posse being well organ
lied heard shooting in the woods
and knew that the Gig was up.
From the time he received the
wound at 5 a. m. it had received
no attention except a cloth tied
about his hand to check the flow
of blood. The wound panied him
severely. He had alternated with
Benkosky in drivin" the car.
He said that after a long wait
he concluded he would get back
into the road. He had no more

and telephone numbers were those
in various parts of Rhode Islanti
and Connecticut.
The Packard car which the
bandits abandoned was taken in
charge by Chief f Police Finley
and brought to st. Johnsbury. The
car were two revolvers which the
men had discarded as they asl +,
OF the 400 quarts of booze about
1870 quarts remained. The rsst
had been smashed during the wild
ride over the mountain rocds.
There was a heap of broken glass

who removed the wet goods and
had the car taken to Hopkins
Garage.
The men had but $50 between
them. 1t was evident that befo e
the getaway they had divided the
money they possessed as when
captured they each had about the
same amount. Of the three men
Savage makes by far the bes. ap-
pearance and appears the most in
telligent. Both Benkosky and
Breght are desperate looking char
acters. 1t is believed that they
engineered she booze running eye
petition and were. responsible for
the shooting affair in Canada.
One Of the party said that the
plan was to get the liquor by
sticking up" the owner ano then
to peddle in quarts to all the eus-
toners they could find in Provi-
dence and Pawtucket. The 400

tween $4,000 and $4,000.

than reached it when he ran into
J. Mcnamara a farmer Of Top
sham, who ordered him to throw
up his hands while dwelling a rifle
at him. Savage gave himself up
without trouble and was placed in
the custod of Officer "Tom" Wal
lace of St. Johnsbury who came up
q few minutes after the capture.
The prisoner was turned over to
Sheriff Worthen and brought to
the Jail at st. Johnsbury.
The second arrest was that of
Joseph Breght who was recogniz-
ed as he boarded a train at South
Ryegate and was arrested when
the train reached Wells River. He
protested his innocence and claim
ed to know nothing of the booze
running. He was held, however,
until his description was telephon-
ed to st. Johnsbury and Sheriff
Worthen ordered his arrest. He
was taken to McIndoes where
Chief Finley and Officer Coburn
brought him to St. Johnsbury and
lodged him in Jail.
On Breght was found bail re-
ceipt signed by E. w. Gibson
showing that he had been previ-
ouslv arrested at Newport for
booze running and had been re-
leased on bail.
The third and last capture was
that of Stephen Benkosky % wears
old of Whitman street, Pawtucket,
who appeared at the general store
in East Corinth and asked for a
hat. He was recognized as one of
the bandits. Sheriff Tracy at
Chelsea was at once notified. Ben
koskv tried to hire a conveyance
to take him to the nearest railroad
station. He was advised that he
known and after some talk he con-
sented to Give up his weapons and
surrender. He was taken to the
Jail at Bradford and Sunday morn
ing was turned over to Sheriff
Worthen of St. Johnsbury and the
prisoner brought to the jail here
by the sheriff.

Not whether"
But "How Much"

The wise automobilist no
longer asks himself, Shall I

He has seen too many ac-
cidents result in damage suits
to have any question in his
mind as to the necessity for
automobile insurance.
What he wants to know is:
"How much should | carry
to be really protected?"
To which we answer:
Judging by the hieh awards
which have been given for au-
tomobile injuries, every auto
mobilist should have his Ira

it would pay at least $4,000
