request fell on deaf ears, since the

up deputy sheriff and put the same
request to him. Again his request

the town had failed to make any
such provision, he departed.
Deliberately he walked to the resi-
dence of William Ripley. Peering
through the window, he saw the local
iceman seated In the room. Then he
made a search for a stone. The first
one he found was big one. He
sent it crashing through the window
and it took sash and glass with It.
Meserve then ran all the way pack
to the Jail.
"Didn't I tell you I'd be back" he
asked, as he breathlessly told the
story of the crime he had just COM
mitted. Thirty days was the SEN
tence of the court.
Court records show that Meserve
pulled a similar stunt in Rochester,
