the Eidse homo IN Pomfret trouble de-
veloped With their machine, and Leon
Shackstt WAS asked to fix It. In the
meantime Bcadlsy and Edward Shack
EFT broke into the Elliot house and
took the rugs. The building was un-
occupied, according to Bradley, and
the furniture was all covered up.
Bradley insisted that his wife did not
know Of their mission, and said that
she would not have let him go if she
had. Leon Shackett did not know of
the theft either, as he was asleep in
the rear Of the machine when they re-
turned.
Bradley also told the court that he
owed 1920 on the machine which was
used in hauling away the loot, which
was ono reason why he resorted to
thievery. The man to whom he owed
the money, Charles Schlessinger, of
No. Agate street, Worcester, told
him that he would take tires or other
auto equipment in part payment Of
the debt. He afterwards disposed Of
some Of the rugs and other stolen ar
6cles to SeAlessinger, who was subse-
uuently brought to trial in Worcester
for His implication in the matter.
Bradley deaied. alphabetically breaking

extent in regard to his wanderings af-
ter breaking jail In regard to con-
fession made by him while in jail,
Bradley said there WAS such thing
but that he had signed it without being

What Edward shackett Said

Edward Shackett, %, said that he
VISA born in Canada and was an auto
mechanic by trade. He was married
in 1911 and had two children, aged
two and four years respectively. He
did not know where they were going
when he and Bradley started out on
the occasion Of the first burglary.
After he got drunk he helped take
some OF the articles. Bradley also
handed him thirty dollars for his
share Of the work. Shackett told prac-
tically the same story in regard to the
presence Of his brother Leon and Mrs.
Webb in their car on the occasion OF
the Elliot burglary as that given by
Bradley. Edward also repudiated
parts of his alleged sign confession
which was read to him.
Loon Shackett Testifies
Leon w. Shackett gave his age to
the court as % and said he had never
been in trouble before. He, too, was
mechanic and painter by trade. He
told of fixing Bradley's ear at the lat
ter's request and said he then got IN
the back part. of the machine and went
to sleep. When he woke up there were
two white bags piled on top of him.
He wanted to know what was in them
and Bradley told him it was none OF
his d business. He was finally
informed that they contained clothing
and shoes.
Attorney O'Connell called on the
mother of the Shackett boys and Mrs.
Bradley to testify, but she refused,
saying she had nothing to say. Mrs.
Mary Shackett, their grandmother
however, said that they had always
| been good children and Edward was a
good provider for his family.
Captain Robert T. Hurley Of the
state police testified at some length in
regard to the confessions signed by
the four accused, three of which. he
said. were signed in his presence after
they had been re-read. He also told q
the search for the stolen goodssssome
of which were found at the home OF
the father of the Shacketts, some at
the home of Mrs. Webb, and still some
more In a second hand store in Provi-
dence. They had been unable to To-
cate the rugs and the Egyptian neck
lace belonging to Mrs. Hardy. In tell
ing of the confessions, Captain Hurley
said that at the preliminary trial N
Putnam, Edward Shackett had ex-
pressed a desire to talk with his sister
and then said that he was willing to
tell everything. Captain Hurley fur
Their stated that in his opinion Bradley
and Edward Shackett were the master
minds of the gang.
Council Heard
Following the noon recess counsel
wore heard. Attorneys Torrey, Dan
ahey and O'Connell set the cases OF
their clients before the court In as
good a light as possible. States Aat-
torney Searls in answer stated that in
times like the present, when society Is
subjected to great danger, the per-
sons committing crime should be more
severely dealt with than might De the
! case IN normal times.
