writing machine. Not only did they see her write it. they said, but they told the officers that she sent her daughter up to Webster to mail it for her.
 The result of these childish diselos- ures was the arrest of Mrs. Beca and her being held under bonds for ap- pearanee in the justice court next Monday.
 Woman Had Key
 According to the police Mrs. Beca was caretaker or hOusekeeper m the John home. She did the house work and cared for Johns clothes. It is the theory of the officers that the woman had a key to the house and used this in the night season while John and his brother slept. This ae- counts for the mysterious breaks while doors and windows were all locked According to the story every lock was found intact following the burglaries and no windows or doors broken. If the woman had a key and used it as the police alege this would be possible.
 It is said that the police do not as- art that the woman personally wrote the letter but that it was written Tor her by a i6-year old Roumanian boy, George Naun, not long in this eoun- try and. the police believe, ignorant of the serious nature of the act.
 Police stated in court that when they interviewed Mrs. Beca, Satur- day. they discovered a pocketbook containing Sf00 hidden in her sleeve. She said she received it from a Rou- manian society. A fifty dollar bill they found she said was gift from a sister in Worcester. The sister, 1t Is said, denied making such a gift

North Grosvenordale Man in Limelight Again.-Letter
 Threatens Death
State Police Cause Arrest of Miss
 Olimba Beea

Dimitri John of North Grosvenor- dale. twice in the limelight on reports that his home had been entered by burglars, comes right up front stage in his most recent tale to the state police. As the result of his story a woman next door has been arrested on charges of breaking and entering and intimidation. She was brought beroe Justice F. r. Tourtellotte, Tuesday morning The case was con- tinued and she was released on Fur nishing a bond of $500.
 John is unmarried and lives with his brother. He is said to have sub stantial real estate holdings in South bridge and apparently lives on his in- come. He has no other visible means of support. Last November John re- ported Go the state police that he and his brother locked all of the doors and windows in the house and went to bed In the morning when they awoke, John said. his S35O diamond ring and other articles were missing Only a month or two ago John report ed a similar break and said that his clothing had been stolen.
 More Interesting
 The third story, which John related to the officers this weekend, is more interesting in it's novelty than plain burglary. John, who says he has feared for his life since the first burglary, showed the state police of- fcers a letter he had received post marked Webster. The letter was writ ten on typewriter and contained threats against his life. He was in- formed that no matter how many guards he surrounded himself with the writer's gang would kill him. As means of emphasizing the threat to kill. the writer had drawn crude pic ture of person with head severed from the body and formidable look ing dagger.
 In response to Johns story. sup ported by exhibit A, the state police started an investigation John has a typewriter in his home. This was immediately the object Of close scrutiny and thorough examination. The result was that the officers were convinced that the letter had been written on Johns machine A sheet of paper used to make the print upon the original sheet more clear was found Co bear imprints of the letter which came by mail from Webster. IL looked like clear case of John writing to himself for the excitement of returning again to the center of the stage.
 Wrong Conelusion
 If the reader has reached that con elusion he is wrong. That is one of the interesting features of unravel- ing mysteries. When the investi- gator thinks he has the case fin the bag something turns up and the real culprit is found elsewhere.
 Mrs 0limbia Beea. 36, lives neigh Dor to John. Her husband was run down by an automobile. and it is said John Is friendly with the man who drove the ear. Whether or not this has any bearing on the case is not known. When the police accused the woman of going over to Johns home and using Johns typewriter Co write John a letter, not quieting epistle but one that filled John with fear Mrs. Beca stoutlv denied that she was the typist. Her l2-year old daughter and a boy of l3. relative of the Beca woman, told the officers that they went with Mrs. Beca to Johns home and saw her manipulate Johns tpye-
