Supt. Thompson appeared to consid-
err that the receiver was as bad as
the thief and according took out "a
warrant for NJ. S. Briery of Hallow-
ell, who had been buying the stolen
so@es. Mr. Briery had every appear
ance of being an honest man and as
sured the court that he did not know
that the soles had been stolen. Supt.
Thompson thought that the man
should be made an example of and de-
sired to stop the thefts in the future
He took the ground that if customers
could not be found for the pilfered
goods the thefts would stop. During
the proceedings he remarked that
they could not stop the thieving I'M
less they had some help from outside
and the court Immediately remarked
that thus far they had been given
every possible assistance from the
court and Supt. Thompson FASTENED
to assure the court that such was the
case and that the help was appreciat-
ed.
The court found Mr.. Briery not
guilty and suggested to him that in
the future he be little more careful
about purchasing his stock of soles.
Mr. Briery said that if he was ever
again arraigned for such thing the
judge might send him to Thomaston.
as hereafter he should purchase all
his stock from headquarters.
