Young Man Twice Arrested Three Times In Court, Sent
 to Cheshire
Did Not Keep Promise to Nor Fsiti
 With the Court

Victor Lapoint. whose hectic week of petty crimes brought him into the llimelight last week. was arraigned in the superior court at Wiilimantic, Friday, following his arrest Wednes- day afternoon while driving drunk. He plead guilty. The suspended exc cution of a sentence to the state re- formatory was withdrawn and the sen.ence was put into affect Lapoint started trouble for him self last week Thursday night by get ting drunk. According to his story the drink made him sick and he went to the rear of Mullan's store because of his nausea. While there he notic- ed that a glass in the door was brok- en.
 Lapoint stuck his hand through the broken window and unlocked the door into the store office and he en- tered. This gave him access to the cash register.
 1 Substantisi Sum
 Edward Mullan, proprietor of the store. was in Boston during the day. He told his cashier to leave the money in the cash register and he would get 1t when he arrived home. For this reason there was ss5 in the reg ister and this Lapoint took. | The young man then went from the store to the railroad station to take a tire of of the ear of James Murray. He was seen committing this theft and the police notified |. Lapoint was arrested and as he was passing the store of the Church Cloth ing Company he was seen to throw away what looked to be a roll of paper An officer investigated end found if was roll of bills, s76. At the police station it was found that Lapoint's shoes were full of small change. What he did with the differ enee, some s10 or I2 is not known. The amount was made good to Mir. Mullan.
 Lapoint admitted the crimes in the city court and was bound over. On being urged by Lapoints mother to help her. local business man went surety on Lapoint's bond and he was released.
 Turns Penitsnt
 Tuesday in the superior court in Putnam, Lapoint appeared in a peni- tent mood and it was decided to give him a chance. A sentence to the re- formatory was imposed and execution of the sentence suspended for one year.
 Within forty-eight hours of the time he had made emphatic promise not to drink any more he was picked up by a state policeman while driv- | ing his automobile in an intoxicated condition. He got upon his knees and begged and promised and asked for still further leniency. This was re- fused by the officers and also by the court.
 The sentence to the state reforma- tory is an indeterminate sentence, no time being specified. Liberation on parole depends upon the conduct of the individual. Lapoint leaves behind him a wife and three small children.

 Inner Circle

Washington, April 1:.-(uP)--A bulky figure in the person Of Sen ator Charles S. Deneen will be wei comed into the inner council ot re- publican leaders here as result of his smashing victory over William Hale Thompson ill the Illinois prl- mary battle for control of the re- publican party Of that state. council leaders said today.
 pcneen win take to the Kansas City convention bloc Of at least 47 delegates instructed for former Gov crnor Frank Q. Lowdcn. He won them against Thompson slate Of delegates pledged 70 seek reelection of President Coolidge. Thompson will have only If delegates.
 More Glccful
 Republican leaders here generally were more gleeful about the Dcneen Victory than about any recent poli- teal happening. They have never played politically with Thompson and were fearful of what he might do with his Coolidge Pledge delegates at the convention.
 To fill their cup Of cheer, they were also thankful to Deneen for the defeat of former. Senator Elect Frank L. smith of Illinois. General ly 1t had been feared Smith would be reelected and would come down 10 the senate next session with s1l Il who voted last spring and again last December to oust Smith because Of his primary campaign expenditures were worried that they would be faced with the politically necessity Of voting against him annually.
 The Curtiss- Watson Dawes group in the senate is expected to work in harmony with Denecn, and some oi their cohorts have even suggested the possibility that he might be con. sidcred a possible compromise pres idental candidate in event Of 8 deadlock in the convention.
 While they realize that the Dcneer victory may be better interpreted as Thompson defeat, they are en. couraged that one of their group ha. assumed republican leadership ir the second most important politica state.
 Cleaned House
 we have cleaned house from within," one midwestcrn regular re publican said privately. and we dit not have to use a whitewash.'
 Tho democrats, too. are not dis pleased. They foresee the possibilit! of split in Illinois republican rank! in the November election. They tall about the possibility of Thompson ioinly hands openly or secrctl! with George Brennan, democrati leader of the state. to put Gov. \ Smith over if he is the democrati nominee. In return. they say. Bren nan might give Thompson some loca support.
