Cabot, treasurer of the New England

conspiracy to steal and the receipt of
papers stolen from Coakley. The papers
were involved in disbarment proceed
ings brought against Altah G. Sleeper.

dercd a verdict of not guilty in the case
of Cabot.

been taken; Il is no defense that they
thought that their conduct was justi-
fable"

ALLEGED ACCOMPLICE
IN TWO BREAKS CAUGHT
Barre Police Arrest Roydan Robinson,
Who Is Said to Have Confessed Com
plicity With Harold Cheever.

That the burglary in the N. d. Phelps
company store early Sunday morning
was not a one-man affair was estab-
lished by the police last night when
they arrested and are alleged to have
secured confession from Roydan Rob
inson, aged 2s years, that he was an
accomplice of Harold Cheever, aged y
years, who was caught in the store
through the promptness Of the tip Civ
en- the police after a person in the Vi
cinity heard the crash of glass as
Cheever crawled through the window
of side door.
Robinson was supposed to give the
alarm to Chceyer by tapping on the
front window, but the prompt arrival
of Deputy Chief Gamble through the
alIeyway between the Gordon and Miles
blocks caused Robinson to flee, leaving
Cheever to meet the situation alone.
However, the fight of Robinson from
the scene did not pass unnoticed by
persons on the street and their state
ments taken in conjunction with par
tial admissions from Cheever that he
had an accomplice soon turned sus-
picion ON Robinson, who, on first ques-
tioning, denied completely but later
owned up, according to the police.
But the warrant on which Robinson
was arrested did not relate to the
Phelps store burglary but TO the break
ing and entering of the building Of the
Barre Creamery and Cold Storage COM
pany, corner of North Main and Gran
lite streets, last Wednesday night both
Robinson and Cheever having admitted
that break, it is alleged, after Gheever
had previously denied connection with
the case in spite OF the fact that a
screwdriyer found on his person sun
day morning fitted into mark in the
woodwork near window OF the cream
cry. When questioned sharply by the
police and prosecuting officer, both men
we're said to have made clean breast |
Of the creamery break in addition to
the Phelps robbery.
Entrance to the creamery building |
was made by way of window III the /
rear on Granite street a locked door /
with glass panel separated the rear
from the store, and the /
glass was smashed SO that an inserted
hand turned the bolt. Goods stolen at
The creamery consisted Of ten cartons
81 cigarets. half box of cigars and
two one pound boxes of chocolates.
When asked last night why they
had made the breaks, both men de-
,lared. according to the police, they
iidnf know why. They have been go
ng about together recently, Robinson
iaving come back to Barre a short
.ime ago from Dorset, where he had

worked on farm in East Montpelier

er would be heard either this after
