Morton , under arrest In Southbridgo , Mass. , fora series of burglaries , thefts and petty larcenies. For months the people cf the town have bjon victimized , the work of the thltf having inclnded about everything , from breaking and en tering a house to cutting down clothes lines. Flower gardens and greenhouses have also snfferttd extensively. Although the loial police did their bes * , uud out side assistances was called iu , no clue was discovered until Wednesday afternoon. Then T. J. Harrington , who has lost n number of valuable plan's , rocognizjd same of them growing in Morton s well- cartd-for garden. The same night aomo ono entered a pool-room in the ccntir of the town and stole a desk containing over § 100 in cash. Later tha desk was ound on fire in an alleyway in the rear of the Public Library Building. Bojs who were lounging in the pool-room were positive that they saw Morton , who is known all over town as "Chub , " leaving the saloon with the desk under his arm. The neoEsaary papers were procured , and Morton was arrested. His honoo was searched and a most astonishing find , even to Southbrldge people who thought they know all ubjnt the thefts , wai tha result. There were many rare pUutu , Homo of which had boon broken up and thrjwn into iho rubbinh pile , u trunk filled with an extoniico and elegant as sortment of ladies hojo , property lost by drummers who had visited tha town ; silver spoons stolen from the express company ; children's stockings ; a market- nun's hamper packed with higti priced cloth ; house rags , partially worn ; ardclua of wearing apparel belonging to tbo ladles and gcntiemtu In various puts of the town , a shot gun , ttblo end bed lin en In all moro than $500 worth of prop erty , nearly a'l ' of which has boon Iden tified as having been taken from persons In town. Much that baa been stolen within the past few weeks is yet undis covered It wai astonishing how mtny people visited the house cf fllorlon after the search had begun , representatives of nearly every family pntt'ng ' iu an appoir- ince In qnoat of missing article ! , and iinndreds gathering put of curlcslty. Morton was arraigned in court on Fri day , and was bold for trial in 85 000 bonds , which were promptly furnished. Ln the evening ho was on tha street as isnsi , driving a trotting horse , cf which jo is tbo owner. "Ohnb" Morton , Is iho only aon of Lortnz ) Morton , ono of the solid men of the town , who Is estimated to bo worth from $50,000 to $100,000. Ho was for many years the proprietor of a clothing store , in which most of his wealth was ac cumulated , but for a number of years past ho has been a gentleman of leisure , UwaYS having money to loan on good security and npeoalating considerably in real estate. Father and sou live on ad joining estates near the center of the town. The yonng man ia about twenty- five years old. Ho wai born and has always lived in the town , and was for some time a clerk in his father's store , but since that was closed hai had no reg ular employment. Ho baa never been regarded aa a bad boy , He has been a frequenter ot the fifteen-ball peal rorms and the skating rink , but bai never spent money so freely as to attract attention , Although the evidence against Morton li regarded es conclusive , the people of the town are at a lots to understand tbo case. Young Morton bait never wanted for anything , and the burglaries and thefts have not been committed with a viotr of nocuiing money or goods which could bo turned into money. In feet , no attempt bai ever bon mida to dlapoie of them , as far as the police luvo been able to discover , Moiton simply stawicg them In his own house. Much cf thu piopony found on his premises , which has been identified , by others as ( stolenfrom them , ha very little valno if any. Among some there is a feeling that Merion has simply bzon a tool in tbo hands of others , and tbat they have taken the moro valu able articles and disposed of them. To ascerla'n ' If there ia any fonndatien for such belief iho casohasbton continued to bll-w nn nv tiia'ion ; , but it ia not believed - lieved tbat any tnch cotdition of affairs will be discovered , as none of thu parties whose houses havn been robbed claimed to have lost anything of proator Talne thin the articles fonnd ia Moiton'a house. The greatest cotnpl int from the outset has been cf the annoyance caused by the thefts rather than the amount of the pecuniary lost. Xjlttlo Sammy lildon. Albany Express.
