 Burglary

Discharged on charges of theft of Mentish of 112 West street, this city and theft of two automobile tires valued at s30 and one rim valued at s. the property of Guy Miller, an employe of Elijah Rogers of SouthinGton, Anthony Hubeny, aged IS, of Prospect street, Southington, and John Tadisco, aged IS, of Mill! street. Southington, were arrested by State Policeman Watrous after po- lice court this morning on warrants charging them with breaking and entering the hardware store of J. Lacourciere Co. Of PIantsville on October IS. Cassinlir Smarcuz. aged IS, of Mill street. Southngton. the third member of the trio facing prosecution for the alleged burglary was bound over to the superior court in bonds of 5000 by Judge B. W. filling on the theft charges. In the event that he Is able to ob- tain bonds, he will be arrested and taken to Southington to stand trial. otherwise he will be taken to Hart ford county jail to await a hearing In superior court.
 When presented before Judge All ing this morning. the trio entered pleas of not guilty. They were rep resented by Attorney Noble E. Pierce of Bristol. who claimed a discharge for Tadisco and Hubney on the ground that no evidence had been offered to connect them with tn, theft of the automobile and the tires and rim. The mere fact that they were present when the alleged stolen articles were recovered is not sufficient to connect them with the theft, he contended, and Judge filling agreed with him. The local court is concerned only with the al legged New Britain offenses, Judge filling said, as he granted the mo- tion for discharge.
 Relative to the bond In Snar- cuz's case. Judge filling said he wanted it high enough to assure the state of Connecticut that the young man will be in superior court when his case Is called. Attorney Pierce said he has known Sr1arcuZ for some time and Is certain that he has no money. Still. the attorney remarked. he has often been sur prised at the ability. of friends of accused men to raise bonds ana he wants to be prepared in the event that someone comes to the assist ance of Smnrcuz. In reply to Judge Anine. the attorney said he consid- OTIS 5000 a reasonable bond.

The state police were on the hunt for the past few months and claim they would prop ably have arrested the trio but TOT the recovery of a stolen canoe ny the owner. Had the canoe been left where 1t WAS found, a trap might have been operated success fully for the capture of the alleged thieves. One canoe, valued at ahout s275, has not been recovered, but others have been found, and ac- cording to the state police, the trio can be connected with the thefts.
 In police court, Sergeant Elllnser testified that he end sergeant O'Mara went to Rogers peach oTcn- ard and found the trio there, Mon day afternoon.
