Weird Tale Of Early Morning
Holdup In PownaI
3 CAUGHT IN NORTH ADAMS
Put under Bonds of $4,000 Each
as Fugitiyes from State
of Vermont 4
3 CAUGHT IN NORTH ADAMS

Charles Burdick, who lives on the
Mohawk Trail, and George Hamel and
Frank Anlaw Of North Adams were
arrested by the Tunnel CITY police ear
ly this morning and lodged in the
city Jail as fugitiyes from Vemont.
During the forenoon the three were
arraigned in the North Adams district
court and were held In the sum OF
$4,000 each. Additional bail was or
dsred In the case OF Burdick on the
charge of operating an unlicensed au-
tomobile
The charge on which the three were
picked up by the North Adams police
was preferred by Raymond Lavalle
Of st. Albans, who claims that he and
his automobile were held up In the
town of Pownal shortly before 2 o.
clock. Lavalle claims that he was re-
leved of $1,000 in money and that
1875 quarts of alleged Gordon gin and
five gallons of alleged whiskey were
taken from his car.
Definite information OF the affair
wa difficult to obtain in North Ad-
ans this forenoon but from statements
made by Lavalle and rumors circulat-
ing abo-t the court room 1t would
appear that Lavalle was on his way
fom st. Albans to Bennington with
lord Of booze. Not being we'll ac-
G.ainted with the road, he lost his
way and went around the town into
Pownal. Realizing that he had missed
h'- d 3tination he had turned back
when three men jumped upon the run
ming board Of his car One OF the men
pushed a gun into his stomach, ac-
co,dlng OF Layalle, relieved the driver
of hi1 money and his liquid load and
tod him to beat it, Lavalle said he
followed instructions
At noon today Burdick obtained bail
and was released from custody. Ear
" this afternoon 1t was reported at
police headquarters in North Adams
that the STUFF" taken from Layalle's
car would he recovered in short order.
The whole affair is more or less
shrouded IN mystery. One report is
that the information that resulted in
tn, arrest came from Bennington by
telephone Another is that Lavalle
called up the police here before giving
any Information Of the raid to the
North Adams police.

Washington, March 1S.-An attack
on Secretary Mellon and Comptroller
of the Currency Crisslnger in connec-
tion with their stand on the soldiers
bonus bill was made yesterday in the
House by Representative Frear of
Wisconsin, a Republican member OF
the Ways and Means Committee and
leading opponent on the sales tax.
Mr.. Frear said Secretary Melon
had written a letter condemning the
compromise bonus bill without being
asked by any member OF the commit
tee for his opinion and had made his
letter of condemnation public before
it was received by the committee.
The Wisconsin member declared
that comptroller Criss niger did not
know what the bill contained when
he announced to the press that he
would advise national banks not 10
loan money on the adjusted service
certificates.
Congress- said Mr.. Frear, "is
warned daily, weekly and monthly

ury and Comptroller Crissinger and

that when the soldiers ask for loans

The freezing process that con.

who Aaye handed out many icicles to
Congress and to the soldiers recently.
Frequent threats we're reported that
