Norwalker Thought
Fairfield Constable
Lived At The Jail
The following appeared in the
l‘l‘ltlii‘i‘POl‘t Telegram this morning:
“There was considerable humor in
a. situation at the county jail on
North avenue Monday when a rest-
dent of South Norwalk insisted that
Constable H. R. Elwood of Fairlield
was an inmate of the institution. The
man entered the building and ask-
ed the keeper to see Elwood. The
keeper. thinking that the man want-
ed to see one of the prisoners looked
over the “hotel register" carefully
but could find no such name.
"When he so advised the man. the
Norwalk resident was indignant and
said he knew he was there. that
there was no mistake about it. that
he must be there.
"A few questions as to where El-
wood was sentenced and similar in-
formation that Elwood had not been
sentenced but that the man wanted
to give Elwood the fine and cost for
a man who had been sentenced in
the Fall-field town court Monday
morning followed.
“when the exact. situation was
sensed and the nature of the failure
of the minds of the jail keeper and
the
by those in the keepers“, office. there
was a general laugh all around."

out that it was necessary to go back
tor a considerable period and pre.
pare the report. He brought out the
tact that the council had the right
to discharge the members of the
bridge committee- at any time and
appoint new ones and informed the
