Man Caught With
 Hootch

Middletown.-Martin Sierzegas of New Haven, and James DePalma of Bridgeport, were arrested yesterday os a charge Of illegally transporting. IL quor. The arrest took place Just as the two were about to unload thelr "booze.'' Policeman Joseph Doherty was working on another case at the time and became suspicious at the automobile. He looked the car over and found the liquor in the real seat.
 The automobile and the two men were brought to the police headquar- ters where the police found ten cans of gin and five cans of whiskey. Each contained one gallon. The two men had concealed the cans in bags and placed them under the seat to avoid suspicion.
 At the police headquarters two of the cans were opened and samples of the liquor were placed in bottles Both men were held by the local po- lice and were locked up, awaiting re- lease under $1,O00 bonds. It is alleged that the men had made a number of trips to Middletown as they were well acquainted here.

when the full force of the New York
 police cleanup is felt.
 On account of it's close proximity
 to New York, the auth critics of Con
 nectcut must be prepared, police of
 flclals say, if they are to keep the
 situation in hand, as the metropoIi-
 tan police continue their fight to force the criminals out of New York. It is thought u hat many of the crooks
 responsible for hold ups in Connecti- , cut commit these crimes while mak- ing their way across this state from New York to Boston, or vice versa. While in Hartford, Chief of Police Farrell has gone before the board of police commissioners for more pa trolmen on the force to cope with the l situation, authorities in other large cities of Connecticut are taking sim liar steps.
 Sheriffs to Attend. 1 Sneriffs invited to the conference are George H. Gabb, Hartford Coun- 1 ty; Thomas l.. Reilly, New Haven County; Sidney A. Brown, New Lon l don County; Simeon Pease, Fairfield County; Charles A Gates, Windhan County; Frank H. 'Turkington, Litch- l field County; Bert G. Thompson 1 Middlesex County, and Fred O. Vim
 ton, Holland County.
 | At a meeting of Windham County legislators in the Capitol on Tuesday | the fact was brought out that while 1 there were only six prisoners in the | Windham County Jail before the crime wave struck Connecticut, the | number has Increased to 34 within the last several weeks.

Mother jerks held his body a little
while, gazing into the face no longer

aware that Dolores knelt in the dirt

his eyes, to speak to her and tell her

to hers that she saw an old but very
faint white scar running diagonaliy

it.

While Ricardo watched beside the
unconscious Webster one of his aides
galloped up the street, to return pres

ers, into which Webster and Don Juan
Cafetero were laid and carried up the
palace driveway into the huge golden
reception hall where only the night
before Sarres had greeted the bellies

pointed to the streteher which had
been set down along the wall OF the
reception hall.
"'Ow about the other?' Mother

had, unfortunately, been SO much Of
q nuisance to her in life that she was
not minded to be troubled greatly
over him In death, although the Spar
tanlike manner of his exit had thrilled
the British bulldog blood In her.
1.-THE big fellow Isn't quite dead yet,
but I'm afraid he's q goner. The
surgeons have him in this room now.
Friend of yours, MissR, he inquired
In tones freighted with neighborly
sympathy.
Dolores nodded.
"Sorry | can't let You in, Miss" he
continued. "but the General ordered
me to Keep everybody out until the
doctors have finished looking him
over. Il was you, I'd wait in that
room across the hall; then you can
get the first news when the doctors
come out"
Mother jerks accepted his advice
and steered her charge into the room
indicated. As they waited, Ricardo
Ruey stood anxi0usly beside the table
on which John Stuart Websters big,
limp body reposed. while Doctor Pach-
eco, assisted by a Sobrantean con-
frere, went deftly over him with sur
