To Hot Hot Ill Town
Another stranger to South Norwalk,
who was suspected of being a hotel
beat, spent yesterday in confinement ill
the South Norwaik lockup.
Two weeks ago the man. who pur-
ported to be Dr. Willard T. Parsons.
arrived at the Haviland liotcl. ill
Washington street. and _ urns given
quarters. The man claimed to have
recently been connected with a sani-
tarlum in New York state. and he
made an effort to have olle started ill
Norwulk. but (lid not meet with mucll
success fronl the capitalists ill town.
The “doctor“ also had a patent folding
crate, which he alleges will be a money
maker, providing he can get anyone in-
terested in the. project. He claims tllc
object of the crate is that. after goods
have been shipped away ill it. It can
be folded into a very small compass,
and returned to the original owner at
slight expense. and will thereby result
in a large saving on crates during the
course. of a season.
it may be that this patent has some
merit. but Dr. Parsons could not find
anyone here who desired to trust the
sum necessary for its manufacture to
an entire stranger.
During Dr. Parson's two weeks' so-
journ at the Haviland House he had
made no more toward a settlement
with the proprietor. and last Saturday
night, ill view of the numerous beats
which the landlord had read about.
there was some suspicions that the
“doctor" blight not be all right. When
he left-tile hotel, and was absent for
several hours. it was believed that he
had disappeared, forgetting to settle
his indebtedness. The. police were not-
ified, and they began looking him up.
He was finally lucatcd in Norwalk. hav-
ing gone there for a friendly game of
checkers.
It was decided to place him under
arrest. the charges being drunkenness
and defrauding the hotel. and he was
taken to the South Norwalk lockup.
Here he told Chief of Police Vollmcr
yesterday. that he had no intention of
defrauding the hotel people. or anyone
else. He was honest. he said. and was
simply awaiting the arrival of some
money, wllicll livid evidently been de-
laycd somewhere along lhc line, This
morning. before Judge Taylor, the
man’s case was continued. alld he was
taken to the Norwalk Hospital. suffer-
ing from alcoholism. ihc fellow is in
had shape. and a few days at this ill-
siitutlon. it was thought. would bring
him around all right. The charges
against lllln will be pressed.
Another “qllcer" individual spent
Sunday in one of the cages at the South
Norwalk station house. He was charg-
ed with disturbing the peace. and it is
believed that he is mentally unbalanc—
ed. He gave tillI name of John Jos~
cph. and Saturday night was in the
Hotel Clifford lobby. writing a letter.
He noted In a peculiar manner. and
some of his remarks led to the belief
that ho was insane. Officer Waller
Hall was summoned. and after an ar—
gument. placed the man under arrest.
Yesterday he. told Chief ‘Volimcr that
everyone thought he was crazy. and
asked the. chief Why he did not send
him to Middletown. and not be troubled
with him In the lockup. lie was given
thirty days, but sentence was suspend-
ed. provided he got out of town. The
fellow made a bee line for Bridgeport.
Frank Kelly. arrested last night, by
Captain filallatone. for making himself
a nuisance about Dr. H. C. Bhercr’s
home, was fined 86 and costs.
