Thomas Hall and Edwin Veitch
Arrested for the Robbery of
Everett E. Wheeler in
Snew‘den’s "Woods. ,
They Also Prove to be the Wire
Thieves. .
Ever since Everett E. Wheeler, who
keeps the little candy and fruit store on
Washington street, South. N orwalk,
was waylaid and robbed while passmg
through Snowden’s woods on hlS_ way
home to Whistleville, Saturday night,
July let, the police have been untiring
in their. efforts to capture the robbers.
Chief 'Vollmer has given the case spec-
ial attention, and several suspected
parties have beenarrestedon suspicion,
but after a rigid examination they were
released, as nothing could be proven
against them._
On Saturda
clue which Ie
the Chief secured a
to the arrest, Sunday,
' of, Thomas “Hall, of Whistleville, and
Edwin Veitch, of East Norwalk, two
young men who have not borne the
best of reputations. Both were ' ar-
rested at their homes by the officers,
and after being given sufficient infor~
mation by the officers to satisfy them
that they knew they were. guilty, both
prisoners confessed and tried to lay the
blame upon the other. Hall said that
about five weeks ago Veitch came to '
him and wanted to know if he knew
how much money old Wheeler general-
ly carried home with him on Saturday
nights. Hall replied that he under-
stood about $200, Whereupon Veitch
proposed that they should rob him
some night when he was gomg through
the woods on his way home. Hall
would have none of it and the_matter
was not mentioned again until June
24th, when Hall promised to go With
Veitch. They both met at the depot
that evening and proceeded to Snow-
den’s woods. Hall found an old rag on
the way and made two masks out of it
with which they disguised themselves.
They waited patiently and finally
Wheeler came along.- Hall sastthat
Veitch wanted him to strike_Wheeler,
but that his courage failed him and he
would not do it, so Wheeler was not
molested that night and the would-be
highwaymen returned home Without
carrying out their pm] ect. . . .
Several days after they met again and
it was arranged that they should rob
Wheeler on the night of July 1st. On
that night they met on Water street and
had several drinks together, and after
purchasing a bottle of whiskey proceed-
ed to the woods, gorng down Water
street to Raymond to Concord and from
there to the woods. On entering the
woods Veitch cut a club with which to
knock their victim down. Soon after
secreting themselves Mr. Wheeler came
along and Veitch hit him on the head
with the club, knocking him down.
Hall then grabbed him by the throat
and Veitch went through his pockets,
securing $14 in small change. Hall
says that Veitch gave him $4 of this
keeping the remaining 310 himself.
The men then left the woods and struck
the railroad track, walked to Stamford,
tookatrain for New York, and staid
there until Monday morning, when
their money being nearly exhausted,
they returned to South Norwalk.
eitch tells a somewhat different
story, laying the blame on Hall, claim-
ing that he did not known where they
were going when they started for the
woods on that eventful Saturday night.
He says that Hall came to his home in
East Norwalk on' that day and told him
he wanted to see him on Water street
that evening. He accordingly met him
and Hall took him to his home in
Whistlevillc, where he left him outside
while he went in and procured two
masks which be brought out. Hall
then told him to put one on and come
with him. He asked Hall what he was
going to do and he told him to “shut up”
and follow him. He followed to Snow-
den’s woods. cutting a club on the way.
They had been in the woods but a few
minutes when some one came along and
said “good evening l” He recognized
Mr. Wheeler’s voide and saw Hall strike
him twice, knocking him down. Hall
‘ then caught him by the throat and with
an oath told Veitch to go through his
pockets, which he did , securing 70 cents.
Hall said there must be more and told.
him to search again. The second
search revealed the change bag con-
taining $14. Veitch then told the same
story as Hall about going to New York.
Both men are thoroughly frightened
now that they are under arrest ; and in
addition to the story of the Wheeler
robbery told by Hall, he has confessed
that he and Veitch are the thieves who
stolefthe Norwalk andrSo‘uth Norwalk
Electric Light company’s wire at W his-
tleville last May ; also, that Veitch and
another party stole the wires from Tay-
lor avenue a short time since.
Hall and Veitch were brought before
Justice Barrett last Monday, and both
bound over to the Superior Court under
$1,000 for the Wheeler robbery. They
were also charged with stealing the
wire from the Electric Light company,
and both confessed their guilt. They
said that they sold the wire to Phillip
Harris, an East N orwalk j unkman, and
that Phillip Harris carted the wire from
Taylor avenue after it was stolen, and
that Ike Harris carted the wire'from
the Whistleville robbery. This places
the Harris Bros. in a very bad light,
and it is probable that they will be ar-
rested. Veitch testified that on the
Taylor avenue robbery Wolf Popp ac-
c'ompanied them. It is understood that
Popp has left town since the arrest.
The police deserve great credit for
the. arrest of these thieves, especially
Chief Vollmer, who has been unceas-
ing in his efforts to hunt the guilty
parties down, and he will no doubt
' come in forthe reward of 850 offered
' May 20th last; bythe Electric, Light
companyfor' the arrest and: conviction
of the thieves who stole the company’s
wire.

Increased Sound at Night.
I would has to as]: if you have ever
noticed the acoustic phenomenon of
greater audibiiity of sounds after night-
fall? Thefi have been hundreds of at-
tempts to account for this singularity in
the matter of sounds, the theories being
almost as numerous as the theorists
themselves. The ancients noticed that
the intensity of all sounds was increased
at night and ascribed the phenomenon
to various causes, some almost as absurd
as the reasons ('2) assigned by certain mod-
ern scientists—St. Louis Republic.

A Bargain Driven by Emerson
We were speaking of Emerson, and I
had shown my idolatry of that sweet
Athenian Yankee, when my friend said:
“There is no question that Ralph Waldo
Emerson was a grand old American
Socrates, or Plato if you will, but much
of the starch of my veneration for him
was taken out by the way he once con-
tended with the newsdealer at the Cause-
way street end of the Fitchburg depot-
for the reduction of the price of a Boston
evening daily paper because it was of the
issue of a day or two previous. It re-
minded me of the huckstering I wit-
nessed in a bakeshop some time before,
where a. woman insisted on having a
5-cent loaf for 3 cents because it was two
days old, and finally, after a wordy con-
tention with the worthy white capped
baker, compromised by paying 4 cents
for the bread. ' '
~ “Ralph, the venerable, had the cour- .
age of his mercenary convictions and in-
sisted for a time on havinga cent re'duc-
tion on the price or the paper. The
newsdealer, too, had the courage of his
trade and did not seem to care a-boubee
for ‘the author of the ‘Over Soul,’ al-
though I found afterward that he knew
the intellectually august gentleman with
whom he was dealing. Knowing the
person of the Concord philosopher, I was
amused enough. to wait over another
train, had not the purchaser and vendor
compromised, and the dear good man
bought the wished for old paper with '
another of that evening’s issue.”—JBos-
ton Globe.
Beginning Late In Life.
' “I still maintain that a person enter-
ing a profession late in life has no future
to speak of,” said one gentleman to an-
other as they sat chatting in a suburban
train speeding along the lake front. “I
really do not see how that is relevant,”
was the answer. “Every one is sure of
the present; no one of the future, no
matter what time of life he or she has
reached. When this woman graduated
from the law school a few years ago, the
fact that you shook your head and said
that it was absurd made me interested
to see what she, whose children were
grown when she began the study of law,
would accomplish.
“In five years she has built up a busi~
ness which makes her independent finan-
cially, which is- more than usually ac-
complish: .l by able and brilliant young
men. Whatever her future may be, her
present is all right, and she has abun-
dantly demonstrated that a woman may
begin life in a professional way when
she has reached middle age and make a
success of it. I really didn’t think she
would, but she has, and in doing so has
demonstrated what can be done by any
woman providing she has grit, energy
and fair ability. More often late.than
earlyin life women find themselves with-
out occupation or means of support, ‘and
it surely is an unmixedh good if they can
take up some congenial occupation by
means of which they can make a. living.”
-Chicago Post.
When a. Rattlesnake Feels Surprise.
The pig treats the snake with disrec
spect. not to say insolence—nothing,
ophidian or otherwiseAcan fascinate a
pig. If your "back garden is infested
with rattlesnakes, you “should keep pigs.
The pig dances contemptu’ously on the
rattlesnake and eats him with’much rel-
ish, rattles and' all. The last'emotion of
therattlesnake is intense astonishment,
and astonishment is natural in the cir-
cumstancos. Arespectable and experi-
enced rat: .lesnake, many years estab-
lished in business, has been accustomed
to spread panic everywhere within ear
and eye shot. Everything capable of
motion has started OK at the faintest
rustle of his rattles, and his view of ani-
mal life from those expressionles's eyes
has invariably been a back view and a
rapidly diminishing one.
After a lifelong experience of this sort,
to be unceremoniously rushed upon by a
common pig, to be treated as so much
swill, to be jumped upon, to be flouted and
snouted. and finally to be made a. snack
of—‘th‘is causes a feeling of very natural
and painful surprise, in the rattlesnake.
But a rattlesnake is only surprised in
this way once, and he is said to improve
the pork—Arthur Morrison in Strand
Magazine.
An Ingenious Swindle.
‘ A novel kind of swindle was practiced
in a German town the other day. A man
struggling along under a. heavy burden
suddenly s bled and crashed through

etor of the store demanded payment.
The porter said he had no money. Pass-
ersby advised- that he be searched. A
thousand mark note was found on him,
which, he said, belonged to his employer.
The storekeeper, however, deducted 100
marks for the valugof his window and
handed 900 marks change to the porter,
who went away swearing and protesting.
A little later the storekeeper discovered
the thousand mark note was spurious.—

HOBBS AND oils FLAG.
.AN EPISODE OF WAR DAYS IN‘THE
HARBOR OF HONG-KONG. I
An Impatient Yankee Skipper Who Had
. Confidence In His Ship and Who Dated
the Alabama—Flying Two Flags 111.15.00.-
, trial Waters—How the Escape Was Mod.»
. “During the greater part of the war,”
paid the retired skipper, “there were a
’39 number of American clippers stall-
,‘ 1n Kong-Kong harbor, having orders
.to remain there from their owners, who
feared the Alabama. This arrangement
did not at all please the captains and
officers, as many of us were anxious to
go home and ship in the navy, but orders
were orders. We could not leave the
ships, and the frequent visits of the Ala-
bama herselfto the harbor, forcing her-
self ‘into our midst,’ as the saying 3505,
were very vivid reminders that neutral
waters were a pretty good sort of an in—
vention. . .
“Although we passed the'long‘ weeks
and months as pleasantly as we could,
with' all kinds of arrangements for kill-.
ing time, both on shipboard and cQu
shore, there was of course a ontinual
and concerted growl going u 'r‘n.’r
little band of Yankee skippers, and old
Hobbs was the star growler of us an.
“His ship was the Humming Bird, a
brand new clipper hailing from Bogtop.
The .trip out to Bong-Kong had,been‘h'er
maiden One, and it was chafing to Ho bs’
not very smooth temper to have he '6
idle so early inher career. Having greht
faith in the ship’s speed and in his dwn
seainanship, he Was more than anxious
to put to sea and let Semmes catch him
if he could; but, like the rest of us, his
orders to remain were positive.
, “Occasionally a ship would manage to
clear by sailing under some foreign flag,
but as it was a complicated process in-
:volving fathoms of red tape and very of-
ten. fell through just when everything
seemed favorable it was not resorted to
very often. When it was'tried, however,
old Hobbs would go on his beam ends
with wrath._ He would fume and rant,
casting, aspersions on the patriotism of
the owners, the agents, the oflicials,.and
even the Chinese crew. He was so 'in-
tensely patriotic that to see a. good Yan—
kee craft sail under false colors would
keep him bofling for a week.
_ “You can see what his feelings were
when one day he was ordered to proceed
to Sumatra under the British flag. Ho
,fumed, ranted and - swore and then
lfumed, ranted and swore over again,
:with a few extra choice nautical anath-
emas thrown in for emphasis. This nec-
essary operation over, he sent ashore to
the native sailmaker’s for a British flag
f—the smallest to be had. When it came
aboard—it was about 2 by 4 feet in size
——Hobbs looked at it askance and or-
,dered it to be put out of sight until sail- .
lug day.
“Sailing day arrived, and the British
flag wits seen fluttering ' quietly from its
proper place on the Humming Bird. It
attracted mighty little attention, how—
ever, for the Alabama was entering the
,harbor. She floated slowly along and
‘dropped anchor exceedingly close to the
Humming Bird. About this time the
harbor master was seen in his boat; be—
ing rowed rapidly toward Hobbshship,
and a huge bundle of bunting about, the
size of an old shellback’s sea chest was
rapidly hauled to the maintop of the
- Humming Bird.
“The harbor master pulled up along-
side the Humming Bird and yelled for
the captain. It could be seen that he
was angry about- something. Hobbs
came to the rail in his plug hat and long
tailed bottle green coat, the customary
uniform. of . a skipper in those days,
and asked the harbor master what he
could do.
“ ‘I want you to take down that flag
instantly, sir,’ said the harbor master.
“ ‘Guess not,’ said Hobbs.
“ ‘It’s a disgrace, sir, and an insult to
hoist such a flag as that l’ "
“ ‘What’s the matter with the flag?’
said Hobbs, surprised.
“ ‘It’s all wrong, sir; the proportions
are all-.wrong. The field is too long for
its width, and the rest of it is too wide for
its length. The crosses are wrongly ar-
ranged, sir, and it is a. vile caricature of
honored flag, sir! Remove it imme—
'atelyt’
“ ‘Guess not,’ said Hobbs again. ‘That
flag was bought. in a. British port and
‘made by a British subject. He was a
'Chinaman, but that is neither here nor
there. I don’t care if it is the flag of
Patagonia, so long as it was sold to me
for that of England. Good 1:.:'>:"‘.‘.'-rig!’_
"The barber master had nothing to say
to this and started back, but he had no
sooner done so than the main halliardsv
were pulled, the bundle at the peak
broke out, and in a second the stars and
stripes were waving before the aston-
ished eyes of the harbor master, the Yan~
kee skippers and Captain Semmes of the
Alabama. Indeed, so large was Old
Glory, in this particular case that it al-
most brushed the Alabama’s decks, the
inside being sonear together. The huge
flag had been presented to the ship at
her launching and to the excited spec-
tators on this occasion seemed larger
than the ship herself. .
“The harbor master put about, angrier
than before, anddemanded explanations. ’
h “ ‘What does that flag meangjsir?’ said
9. , ‘ ' .
‘ “‘That’s my house flag,’ said Hobbs;
‘the trademark of my owners. I do not
know whether that red rag up there is
humpbacked and clubfooted or not, but
you can’t give me any points on the con-
struction of that article up there with ,.
the stripes on it. I propose to fly that _
flag how I please, when I please. and p
where I please, whether it'be in Hong-
Kong or in h—. For the second time,
good morning? and Hobbs went below.
, “Semmes was so over the stars
and stripes flauntin in , face that he
sworoto blow the timing Bird out of
the water if he ever caught her outside,
noumatter what» flag she?- sailed under.
He never did it, however. as this voyage »
, ng fireas so many others did, and as
shortly after this the Alabama exchanged
with the Kearsarge certain little civill-
ties we all know about his blowing days
were over.”—New York Sun.
