STAY SENTENCES
ON -FOUR CHARGED
With LARCENY AUTO


The statements Of Frank Breedo
and Lyle Harrington, who appeared
Wednesday morning at the Kennebec
County Superior Court for sentence
after pleading nolo contendre to g.
charge OF larceny of an automobile,
were SO much at variance with the
tale told a few days before by Will
liam Taylor and George Chase
whose cases had been disposed OF for
this session Of court, on the same
count, that Judge William II. Fisher
decided to stay sentence until he
could have Taylor and Chase brought
into court and their stories could be
checked over. All four men are or
Gardiner and they did not fight the
case, all pleading nolo contendre.
Chase and Taylor were released upon
bail until the April term of court
to await sentence after they had
given their version of the happen
ing. When Breedo and Harrington
told Of the same occurrence there
were several discrepancies which
Judge Fisher did not feel he could
ignore.
AS a result also of statements
made by Harrington with regard to
talks which he had had with OIL
Gals after he was arrested, STATE
Detective Arthur Robinson Is to be
in court today to give his version OF
the happenings. This case will again
be taken up at IL o'clock this morn
ing.
