 Raimo has admitted stealing ten tires from the storage building of the Free Motors O., of Naugatuck, in Beacon Falls. He is scheduled to be arraigned in superior court today on the charge.

 The three tires, for which Rus sell, through WilkaS, paid $25 each to Oliver Provost of Naugatuck who allegedly acted as Raimo's agent, were presented as evidence to the court. Trooper Dunphy said they were found hidden in a hay loft on the Russell property.
 Wilkas, who said he keeps com pany with RuSsell's sister said he offered to get the tires from Pro- vost, for whom he had worked as gasoline station attendant and tire salesman.
 The first order for two tires was filled, he said. and $50 was paid to Provost. He said he did not know that the tires were stolen or that the serial numbers had been burned off. Later another tire was bought for an additional $25 he said.
 Under questioning by Judge T. E..
