 The capture of the men is related in story elsewhere in this paper. They were bound over from a justice court in North Grosvenordale and were committed to jail in default of S5 .000 bonds.
 The series of crimes committed by these young men and the fact that they carried weapons led the states attorney to suggest that they be im- prisoned. Public Defender Harry E. Back asked for lenieney. He pointed out that both young men are married and that families depend upon them for support. He said that they show ed repentent mood and suggested that they had acted and done their thinking afterward.

aminer R. C. Paine of Thompson was called and stated that the man had been dead a week. Decomposition had begun to set in. Death was due to natural causes. The body was re- moved by A Gilman & Company and funeral was held in Putnam Sat urday.
 Neighbors of Mir. Love recalled that they had not seen him for a week previous to the finding of his body This caused little alarm as he was retiring and allowed no one to enter his home. He was a sufferer from asthma and could not lie down. He slept in the chair where he died.
 Tenants complained of a bad odor in the corridor of the First Na- tional Store building. Patrolman Blanchette was called. He traced the odor to the apartment occupied by MT. Love. The officer broke open the locked door and found the body.
 Notwithstanding his solitary life and desire to live as semi-recluse those who knew Mir. Love liked him and knew him for a generous man, giving from time to time of his money. An instance is cited where he gave tradesman fifty cents for bringing his can of kerosene to his home.
 Little is known of the man. He is survived by two nieces.
