respondent please! When he is found
kindly tell HON that the name Jim
Friery" does not appear in the telephone
book of Putnam district, nor in the city
directory nor on the voting list. The
one and only place that Jim's name APP
| pears is on the record of the Putnam
city court and there it appears with
consistent frequency.
Jim was for the nth time arrest
ed in Willimantic last week and sent to
Brooklyn jail for drunkenness. In The
| Bulletins Willimantic column appeared
an account Of the Thread City court pro-
ceedings in which it was made to ap-
pear that Jim Friery of Putnam had
been up again and had been sent down
again. Why Willirnantic foists Jim on
| Putnam every time that he appears be.
| fore His Honor is the question that sew
| eral Putnam people have been asking
| and one Of the lawyers spoke to the
| Willimantic judge about it but has re-
| ceived no satisfaction yet from any quar-
/ ter. Putnam has never had Jim as
! citizen, does not claim him, does not
want him ana does not care to have him
| foisted upon It. Jim holds the county
record for time spent in Brooklyn jail
and when he returns there he is at
home. Jim Friery was before the city
| court in Willimantic last week and was
returned to his home in Brooklyn by
Judge F. il. Foss. and that's the truth
