Accused Put to Plea as Grim inal Term Gets Under
 Way
Forser Remanded for Sentence
 Tuesday

Opened with prayer by the Rev. John E.. Duxbury of the Methodist church the September criminal term of the superior court got under way in this city Tuesday morning. Judge Newell Jennings is on the bench. A number of cases were disposed of during the day. Others have been as signed for trial.
 Frank Hammer. alias F'rancisca Susa. alias James Kelley, alias Jam es Smith. and admitting more aliases, plead guilty to ten counts of utter ing worthless checks. The bad paper was spread from Moosup to Putnam in individual amounts ranging from s20 to $s5. totaling approximately s350 in all.
 Among the allegations were two operations in Putnam. On May 9th Susa. as the man calls himself now, passed a cheek for $30 at the Put nam Savings bank The check was drawn on the Phoenix State Bank & Trust Co.. of Hartford to the order of James Kelley and signed John Kelley. On the same day there is an allegation that a check for x35 drawn on the same Hartford bank to the order of John Smith and sign ed by William Smith was presented at the Citizens National Bank.
 Other banks victimized by Susa under the name of Smith or Kelley. were the Willimantic Institute for Savings, First National Bank of Plainheld, Moosup Trust Co, Daniel son Trust Co.,, Brooklyn Savings Bank. Windham County National Bank. Danielson. A cheek was also passed at the A & P store, WiIliman- tic and on one Carter P. Williams.
 The arrest of the man came about when he applied for a marriage li- conducted by Rowe Wheeler of States Attorney Bradford's office re- suited in Susa being apprehended. When Susa appeared for sentence Judge Jennings said there was some doubt in his mind as to whether he could sentence him to states prison under the section of the statute on < which the complaint was based. He ' said that he thought that because of : the mental condition of the accused he should be sent to states prison if way to do 1t can be worked out as they are better able to care for him there.
 Stole Automobiles |. William Hallon. minor, was sen- tenced Co the state reformatory af- ter pleading guilty to the theft of an automobile. Judge Jennings said that possible sentence of thirty years denoted how serious the leeis- lature looked upon this crime. Ha said that he understood that the | young man is wanted in Hartford for a similar offense and that he in- tended the penalty to cover both of- lenses.
 Arthur l.. Balcolm plead guilty to embezzlement of S2s1.5s from Windham fire company. He had no previous record and Judge Jennings said he believed there was a chance for his reformation. In reply to q question Balcolm said he would CO., operate in making the loss good. A sentence of one year in jail waz suspended and the accused was plac- ed on probation for six months and ordered to pay costs of court and of probation.

Two Boston Youths Picked Up By Police.-Father Takes
 Them Home
Willing Now to Absorb More
 Education

Two boys. James Gardner. i2, of 36 Gurney street, Boston, and Chris tiphus Bowman, IA. of i466 Fremont street. Boston, started for Texas Monday. They felt that they had been educated sufficiently, in fact were surfeited with studying so de- sided to 20 where men are men and there is lots of room to turn around. They told no one their plans; just started.
 Monday night the adventurers got as far as Providence. Here the old CT of the two decided he had gone as far toward the Lone Star state as he cared td go. He wanted to re- turn to his own fireside and was will ling to absorb little more eduea- tion. The l2-year old did not care to pursue the adventure alone so it was agreed that they back track to the Hub.
 On Wrong Trail
 Jumping a truck the lads later dis covered that they were on the wrong trail. They were travelling west instead of east They arrived in
 
 protection of some old apple trees for the night.
 About three o'clock it became cold. If there had been any sleep for the young heroes there was no more. They set out for the nearest village along the trail, which hap pened to be Putnam. At about half past three o'clock the youths reached School street. Patrolman Wallen was making his rounds and saw the pair. He had an interview with the boys and put them up in the police station for the rest of the night. Wednesday Probation Officer Peter Gardner took charge of the young men. They had a nickle be- tween them. However, they were given a breakfast. Their parents were notified. The father of the Bowman boy arrived by train. The next train back to Boston carried the young adventurers.
