The boys were brought to Benning
ton late last night from Watertown
Mass, by Deputy Sheriff Ralph H
White where they had been held al
the request Of States Attorney Geo
A. Mathers. II was necessary for the
deputy to secure waiyor of requis
ition process before he could proceed
with his prisoners and he was delayed
for nentire day at Watertown,
According to frank confessions
made by the boys they broke into a
switchmens shanty at East Dorset

Italian currency valued at S2S7 They
also took a number Of articles a por-
ton of which were recovered later.

The clerk and the superintendent
have been carrying out series Of In.

the village were using less water than
in October. a year ago. and t'at some
of them had made changes which
limited their use of village water to
not much more than the quantity
