Money Not Yet Recovered
Chances Of recovering $295O
claimed to have been lost yester-
day by Michael Homony Of New
York, former resident here, seemed
slim today. Police were still search
ing for the money which Mr.. Homony
reported he lost about 1920 Mon
day morning. He did not discover
his loss until 1880 in the afternoon,
he said.
He had planned to deposit 1t, he
said, In the local banks, coming here
from New York Saturday, but the
banks were closed when he arrived,
and were, of course, closed yester-
day. He went to. the local passenger
station to ask about train and
stopped In the mems rest room while
there. Later, on the suggestion of
Captain Vincent Skelly Of the local
police force to whom he reported
the loss, he went back and is said to
have found the pocketbook In back
Of the steam pipes In the mems
room, ripped open with no money
in it.
He said the money represented 20
years OF savings. He formerly
worked at the Naugatuck Chemical
company and is now employed as a
porter at So Broadway, New York
city. He planned to take vacation
to Europe this summer but his hopes
went aglimmering with the loss of
the rt1ony. As many use the pas
senger station In the day, police do
not think highly Of their chances of
recovering the money. A $500 re-
ward for the return of the money
has been offered.
