A Maryland commuter corn-

The complaint was filed with
this hftdfstate Commerce Commis-

Miss Hefiin contended the sus-

She said that 16 other steam
engine trains operated by B. d o.

result was unreasonable, dis

Barry, Society Jewel
Thief, Is Released
And Rearrested
BY the Associoted Press

ATTICA, N. Y, Nov. Is
Arthur Barry. spectacularly sue
cessful society jewel thief and a
ringleader of the 1929 Auburn
Prison riot, was released from
State prison today and immedi-
ately rearrested.
AS soon as the 59-year- old
white-haired convict stepped out
side Attica State Prison on parole,
he was picked up by three Mas
sau County detectives.
The detectives executed six old
bench warrants from the case that
was Barry's downfall-the $780,
900 jewel burglary on the home
of Financier Jesse l.. Livermore
% years ago.
Barry. a former playmate of
millionaires who became a ring
leader in a riot at Auburn State
Prison on July %, 1929, hopes that
time may have weakened the case
against him.
Silent on His Past
+ Barry won't say much about
his past-about the years when
police estimated he picked up
between $4,OOO,OOO and 10000
600 worth of loot. Only $50,000
worth ever was recovered.
He summed up his feelings while
talking briefly with newsmen out
side the prison.
There's nothing much I can
say" he remarked. I'D just like
to forget the whole thing"
When Barry left the prison he
was led to the Nassau police car
and started on the trip back.
Prison authorities said Barry's
record since coming to Attica from
Auburn in 1887 was unmarried.
His home town is Worcester,
Mass.
Partner Died in Jail.
1t was the Live-more affair that
led to mis- imp .sonment and that
of his partner, Earl Monaghan,
known as Boston Billy.
Monaghan and Barry were
tried on a number of indictments
in 1927. Monaghan got so years
and died in prison.
Barry got only Is years, but
two years later he led the Au-
burn riot involving 1,7O0 prison.
ers. Two men were killed.
Barry escaped and was free for
three years before he was retaken
in New Jersey. For this escapade
he got another seven years.
The warrants that still remain
charge Barry with first degree as
sault, robbery and burglary. But
Nassau County authorities don't
know how much of case they
have.
