Two days later he went to where he left the car, did more or less damage to it and then notified the police that he had found the car abandoned.

POMFRET BOY NOW
 UNDER RESTRAINT
Leonard Wolfenden, 19, Has Sentence Suspended For
 One Year
Criminal Term Superior Court Opens
 Thursday

Seven of the eleven criminal cases which were ready for trial when the Windham County Superior Court opened at Willimantic last Thursday. were disposed of on pleas of guilty. Four defendants entered pleas of not guilty and will go trial later in the term.
 The only case from this end of the county was that of Leonard Wolfen- den of Pomfret, charged with receiv- ing an automobile that had been stol- en. The boy was sentenced to the state reformatory and the execu- ton of the sentence was suspended for one year.
 The September criminal term was convened following court vacation during July and August. Judge Ed ward M Yeomans was on the bench. States Attorney Howard C. Bradford of Putnam was in court for the first time since his serious illness and pre- sented the accused for trial. It was his first appearance in court since last May. Prayer was offered by Rev. D. W. Lovett of the Baptist church. When court adjourned in the afternoon it was until Tuesday morning when the murder cases were assigned for trial.
 Enters Plea of Guilty
 The case of young Wolfenden was the first one taken up. He was re- presented by Harry E. Back of Dan ielson, public defender, and entered a plea of guilty.
 On June llth last Putnam boy was arrested for the theft of an auto mobile During the investigation of the case it was discovered that an other automobile, stolen in Provi- denee, had been received by the Pom fret young man. The Putnam boy was not in court. He is in New York be-

Captain Jarvis and Zito Guy Leave For Montreal Tues
 day Morning
Case Concerns Stolen Auto of Local
 Taximan

Captain of Police William Jarvis and Zito Guy, local taxi driver. left Putnam Tuesday morning shortly af- ter nine o'clock in Mir Guys automo- bile. Their destination was Montreal. where both will be witnesses in a criminal case which is an outgrowth of the theft of an automobile from Mir Guy back in 1923. The ear was stol- en at night from the owners garage and was subsequently, located in Cana da. Accompanying the two witnesses in the case was State Policeman Scran- ton. who is having his vacation and makes the trip as a passenger. The party expects to be back in Putnam Sunday.
 Just what the situation Is in the matter is not clear even to the two witnesses. lt Is understood that the Guy car was disposed of illegally by officials in Montreal. That subse- Quently a lawyer succeeded in obtain ing money settlement. That the check made in settlement was made out to Mir. Guy and the lawyer forged his name, obtained the money and never turned it over
 The two Putnam witnesses will es- tahlish the fact that the ear was stol- en, that 1t was traced Co Montreal, and that Mir. Guy never received any part of the alleged cash settlement.

PLEA

What started out as hear
ne on transfers developed into
,Ha fare increase hearing today
before the Public Utilities
commission, when William r.
Ham, president of the Wash
ngton Railway and Electric
Company, asked for q Decent
cash fare or three tickets for
rs cents on the bus line operat-
ing on Bladensburg Road
Northeast.
Mr.. Ham told the commission that
The bus lines had lost SASH since It
was inaugurated five years ago as 2
substitute for the rail line formerly
operated by his company.
The 1O-cent fare. Mr.. Ham said,
S. needed to help make up the deficit.
For some time the fare on the
Bladensburg buses have been the
same as those charged on the street
car lines. Free transfers have been
ISSUED at Fifteenth and II streets
N p.
Th action of President Ham indi.
eated that the Public Utilities Com
mission will be forced to call another
hearing when fare increase Of that
cornpany will be considered.
Today's move by the washington
Railway and Electric Company, COM
ing right on the heels Of fare I'M
crease demand Of the Capital Trac-
ton Company, ID regarded ~ sig
:1ificant.
Mr.. Ham argued today that the 10
cent fare e in force on the Burleigh
ard Rhode Island Avenue bus lines
Of his company.
The traction head told the com
mission that his company would
give free transfers to the Bladens-
burg busses when the 10-cent cash
6are is paid.
When tokens are used his COM
spany proposes to charge 2 cents
Tor transfers, which would mean 2
"trip cost of 10 1-3 cents. This sit
laaafion would encourage the pay
ment of the higher 10-cent cash
fare.
