 News of the sudden attack and the possibility that an operation may be performed, reached this city thls morning, when Detective Sergeant Frederick Derrick who went to Wor- cester last night to bring the accused back, telephone to Captain of Detec- lives John H. Began of the change and asked for further instructions. Derrick was ordered to report back and will probably be sent to Worces- Barry'S physical condition is such that he can be removed he will be brought back
 Barry's parents have already en- gagged Attorney George Mara to act as counsel for the accused, and it was through Attorney Mara that Barry agreed to waive his extradition rights and return to this city. Barry will either be arraigned in the city court on Saturday or his case may be con- tinued until Monday when he will be placed on trial. He will probably at that time again waive examination and will be bound over to the Crimi- nal Superior court so that his trial may come up at the May term which starts one week tomorrow.
 No trace of Joseph Porter, Barys companion on the night of the shoot ing has been found by the police.

Much Secured By Fake ePer1rlits
Agent Fowler Issues Statement Pointing Out Nefarious Scheme of Forging Liquor Per mitS.

A sweeping warning was is sued today by Prohibition Agent Frank Fowler, of the To- cal office to druggists in this vicinity, many of whom have recently been victims of the lat est form of forgery-forged doctors prescriptions for whis- key.
 Source of Worry.
 Blanks have been printed similar to those used in this section of the state, and a nefarious practice long source of worry to Federal officers In the Metropolitan district, has within the past few days reached Connecr- cut.
 one of the instances that brought the scheme to light. whereby boot leggers are buying pints of good Whiskey at the government figure of s3 a pint, and reselling at an enor- m ous profit, was of an apparent reg lar prescription that gave doctor name and address in Norwalk. The address when investigated proved to be Water street. a poor section Of the town, where no doctor resides. The name was not a forgery in this case. but a myth.
 Agent Fowler in pointing out that Federal watch on prescriptions VIII be redoubled, warned the druggists who have licenses that they are re- sponsible and must watch closely all prescriptions. It is suggested that they obtain a set of signatures of all local physicians. that they may com- pare all signatures. and that in the cases where prescriptions are pre- scented from out-of-town physicia ms that they explain the necessary care to the customer. and. at the cus- toner's expense phone the physician whose name appears, to make cer- tain that the prescription Is bonafide.
 Fowler points out that the daring practice, which the government will prosecute for to the very limit, has been resorted to as a last method, in view of all other channels becoming so effectively closed oy prohibition of ficers in this state, who have but re- gently been comp1imated for the ex- cellency of the enforcement pro- gram as carried out in Connecticut.

Poplar Bluff Mott will take a

plications that have arisen over the
shipment of corpse from this city to
| Nashville, Tenn, and then back to
| Poplar Bluff. A judge of the Circuit
court already has ruled that jury
that tried the issues here, as to who
should pay the transportation charges
on the corpse for the round trip, made
a faux pas, and has ruled that a
new trial Is in order and has so de-
creed.
The body in question was that of
man murdered here some time ago
and believed to have been Theodore
Murray, who had been missing for
months from his home In Nashville,
Tenn. Mrs. Mary Murray, the mother,
heard of the finding Of the body and
wrote to the Frank Undertaking com
pany, asking that it furnish her with
a description Of the body. This was
done and the description was such as
to lead Mrs. Murray to believe that
the body was Enthusiastically that of
her son.
Body Sent c. o. D.
She sent instructions to have the
body sent G. O. D., depositing money
at once in the office of the American
Express company at Nashville. Upon
arrival Of the body at Nashville Mrs.
Murray viewed it, but did not have 1t
removed. She was in some doubt.
Other members of the family, however,
firmly believed that the body was that
of the son, Theodore. While the dis
fussion was at its height they were
