Bridgeport Official Went
Off to the Wilds Above
. Westport to Serve a Body
Writ On a Citizen who it-
tempted fraud.
John G. Simmendinger is now an
inmate of the North avenue retreat, in
Bridgeport, as the result of the service
of a body writ by Deputy Sheriff Dooi‘
an. last Saturday. The defendant is
accused of having disposed of mortgag-
ed property and he may yet have to
answer upon a criminal charge.
Sheriff Doolan had quite an inter-
esting experience In getting his hands
on Mr. Simmendiuger. Incidentally
Fred 'I‘roska, who resides in Westport,
got himself into trouble by interfer-
ing with an officer of the law, and
he may have to answer, as a oom-
plaint has been made to Attorney
flurry ll. Sherwood, who does the
prosecuting for Westport.
Simmendingcr for several months
ran a little shoemaking and shoe rev
pairing store at No. 10 Meadow street.
In his store he had a shoe sewing
machine and other small machines
used in shoemaking. He owns the
building, but leases the land.
In his hour of necessity be secured
a loan of $165 from Conrad Schubler,
a hard working wood turner in the
employ of the Frank Miller Lumber
Go. To secure this loan Simmendluger
gave a mortgage on his personal prop-
erty in the little store.
llut things did not go well. John
decided to sell, and he did It without
saying a word. so it is claimed, to the
man who held the mortgage. Then
John left Westport, and the places that
knew him so long, knew him no more.
'lonrad found this out in due time and
he was mad. He called in the law
and the writs were drawn. They were
placed in the. hands of Deputy Sheriff
Doolau. In the full belief that he
would sooner or later find his man.
The sheriff does not often miss his
game and this time was up to the
average. He learned that Simmeri-
dlnger was away up in the northwest
corner of Westport, right where Wll~
um. Weston and Norwalk come to
gcthcr. The officer of the law got out
his team and started for the long
driva through the country.
Arriving at the place where Sim-
meudinger was supposed to be the
sheriff looked around and soon found
his man. John at first showed no de-
sire to dispute the arrest. But a few
moments later, as he was about to go
into the carriage and start for Bridge
port Troska came around and said
something to Simmendinger in tht
language which Deputy Doolan does;
not speak and understand.
The purport of the remarks, how-
ever, were quickly apparent. John
changed his mind and, Enid he would
not go. The sheriff smiled and said be
guessed he would.
There was some talk and Troska
was Mr. Buttinski. Then the sheriff
flashed his badge and warned Troska
not to interfere. But the latter kept
on urging and Simmendinger refused
to go, .
Then the sheriff got in his work. Hf
wiped out his revolver and hinted at
all sorts of things. Mr. Simmendinger
like Davy Crockett's coon, promptly
cauie down and was soon on his way
to Bridgeport.
As he was unable to get half he was
locked up to await the action of the
court. It is said that if he does not
make a settlement he will be proceed-
ed against in a criminal action. The
punishment for the offense which may
be charged against him is not more
. than six months in Jail, or a fine of
$200, or both,
