Carroll’s Trial Set For Monday—Will Return Here.

Sheriff McColly has received a letter from Milwaukee, Wis., which states that the trial of Sam Carroll, who is charged with having removed a mortgaged automobile from that state, will take place next Monday. April 3rd. The letter states that Carroll hopes by that date to have made arrangements to pay off the indebtedness and the expenses incurred and if he does this it is inferred that he will not be-prosecuted^ - He stated to the person who had written to Sheriff McColly that he would return here. Carroll’s arrest, it should be understood, so that he will not suffer any buisrtess injury in consequence of a misunderstanding, was not for stealing the car, as was first published, but for having taken it from the state when it was mortgaged. It is the belief of Carroll’s counsel that he did not know he was violating any law when he came here. He had worked in large garages in Milwaukee and knew many persons who toured from that city through Rensselaer and met and talked with a number of them and evidently never tried to cover up his identity in any manner. His acquaintances here hope that he is able to raise what money is needed to get him put of trouble.
