Break in at East Berlin School Sparks Indignation

Harrison Preater, son of Edwin G. Preater, was arrested in East Berlin for taking part in breaking into the new East Berlin school house about a month ago and vandalizing it. He confessed his role as officers charged and the town's anger grew as red currants, blue ink, and obscene writing scarred the brand new building. Walter Nye was later arrested in New Britain for a similar charge. Meanwhile a separate New York case involves forgery and petty larceny in the divorce suit of Mar C. Wood.

No lives lost, but tenants faced destitution and many firms reported partial or no insurance. Authorities suspect incendiary origin amid a spate of burglaries this year.
