The writ was made returnahle Co the Windham County Superior Court but, after hearing, was ordered transferred to the United Statse District Court where 1t has since been pending.

 The claim is not allowed as a pre- ferred claim kn. stands upon the same footing as that of depositors and the Woolen Company will be allowed it's pro rata share in dividends declared.
 Transactions with the bank by the Woolen Company in which funds were invested and reinyested in Liberty Bonds upon authorization of the Wool en Company, brought about a situa- ton wherein the bonds of the company were left in the banks hands. When the bank went into the hands of receiyer the bonds of the Wooden Com pany could not be found. Claim was made in due course by the Woolen Company but, with many other similar claims for securities left in the hands of the bank. the claim was denied by the receiver and notice 10 that effect sent to the company.
 While the allowance of the receiver upon authorization of the comptroller will doubtless effect similar claims it does not determine the status Of claims for missing securities which can not be. or are not. traced to the funds of the bank.

 St. Laurent was arraigned in court. Thursday morning. His Putnam wife and infant child occupied spectators seats in the court room and beside them sat Mrs. Laurent's parents. There was no appearance of the alleg- ed first Mrs. St. Laurent in court. St. Laurent in the prisoners pen did not once glance toward where Mrs. St. Laurent and his infant child and her parents sat. Through his counsel, Attorney Irving H. Miron, demur- Ter to the complaint for bigamy was entered. The demurrer was overruled and no evidence was introduced. Prob able cause was found by Judge Geis- sler who ordered the man held for the superior court in bonds of $500.
 St. Laurent has lived in Putnam but a few years. He has worked in several barber shops in the city and therefore has quite wide acquaint. ance. None of his friends or ae- quaintances however came forward to go surety on his bond and he was talk en to the county jail at Brooklyn.
