Mrs. Edward S. Bradley of Bev- 
erly, who recently moved away from 
Manchester, met with an accidert 
last Saturday. She was leaning 
against a piazza railing, when tie 
railing gave way, letting Mrs. Brad- 
ley fall to the ground. Her shoulder 
was dislocated and she was uncon- 
scious for an hour. Miss Flosste

When Frank J. Sullivan and 
Thomas Byrnes, who gave Boston as 
their home, were confronted in Salem 
District Court Wednesday with a big 
array of witnesses, whom they hal 
defrauded by a fake charity scheme, 
they slipped out of the court room 
and made their getaway, forfeiting a 
bond. Manchester was one of the 
towns visited by the alleged crooks 
and at least two well-known citizens 
contributed. Town Treasurer Edwin 
P. Stanley donated $5 to the men and 
Postmaster Frank A. Foster also was 
victimized. Chief of Police Sullivan 
with the other two Manchester men 
appeared in court Wednesday. The 
alleged fakers will probably be in- 
dicted by the Grand Jury and .their 
apprehension is expected.
