So James Clifford Is Taken Back to
Brattleboro Retreat from Which

Brattleboro, April 11.-An autom6-

II niles from Brattleboro. owned by
NJ. l.. Smith of Turner's Falls, Mass,
late last night took James Clifford
from bed and returned him to the
retreat from which institution Cliff
ford escaped a week before. Clifford's
advanced ideas in farming led to his
IDENTITY. After carrying ton and Il
half of hay from the barn packing
it around some logs and setting fire
to the hay in on effort to destroy the
logs, he told a neighbor, Il. h. Aldrich
of other plans which he had in m ma,
one of which was to renOve the tops
Of the hills and fill up the valleys,
making a perfectly level farm. lie
said he intended TO rid the land OF
rocks by consuming them with fire.
These methods, which he disclosed in
conversation last night with Mr. Aid
In oh, were so far in advance of those
! heretofore employed in the farming
community of Green River that Nj.
Aldrich was convinced that the new
conner needed invest eating, and he
notified Attorney John +. Gale OF
/ Guilford The latter made inquiry at
/ the retreat and was informed that a
patient who had been worHing about
the farm d sappeared week ago and
had not been heard from, The rest
was easy. What Clifford lived on is
mot known. There was no article OF
food in the house except tea and II
is known that Clifford helped him
! self to that. He kept a good fire IN
the kitchen range. His home is in

William L. Ettinger, superintendent Of
Schools. to cooperate with David
Hirshfield, Commissioner of Accounts,
IN the latter's investigation into the

of the board that the Commissioner
should be permitted to enter school
buildings for the purpose of checking
up the purchase, delivery and distribu-
ton of supplies and textbooks used by
the department. He said that Deputy

vised him that under the recent deci-
sion of the Court Of Appeals the Com
missioner of Accounts had such right.
