Three Chicke Thieves Caught Near Plainville

Three alleged chicken thieves were arrested Tuesday night by Sheriff John W. Bowman and deputies on a farm two miles west of Plainville.

Suspects are Charles Cueley, 28, Jenttie Cole, 31, and Chanley, a nephew of Cole. The trio, living in a small three-room house used partly for keeping chickens, were found at Ley home after returning from St Francieville, and were returning to sell the stolen stock. Sheriff Bowman said more thefts may be cleared before their arraignment before Judge Hastings.
