Army of Unemployed in Berlin, Residents of Worthington ridge Judge Suspends Sentences in Cases of Five Freight “Hoppers.” IMPORTANT MEETING OF GRANGE Evening.— To Be Held Tomorrow From National Convention at ‘Washington.—Brief Items. The Berlin town court, at its ses- sion this morning, judiclally recog- nized the present business depression, inasmuch as Judge George Griswold gave five freight riders the benefit of a doubt and, accepting testimony to the effect that they were without money op means and traveling for the purpose .of getting employment, sus- pended a fifteen days’ jail sentence which he had imposed. The prisoners were James Mario of New York, J, Wright of New York, George Wise of New Haven, George Saviteer of Meriden and Steve Vulet &f Three Rivers, Mass. All pleaded guilty to trespassing on railroad prop- erty. They were arrested by John F. Ma- hany of Westfield, Ma and Wil- liam J. Donnelly of Waterbury, spe- ial police agents of the New York, ‘ew Haven and Hartford railroad, late Saturday afternoon as they were seen alighting from a freight which had just come in from New Haven. They were turned over to Officer William J. Ritchie, who locked them up in the town jail. The railroad officers gating the placing of a New Britain branch tracks &pprehended the trespassers. testified on the stand this morning that the railroad has been annoyed very much of late by young mien who persisted in “hopping” freights.

HAD ~ CONCUSSION OF BRAIN English Resident Showed Remarkable Vitality — Motorcyelist Absolved From Responsibility—Plainville A. C. Wins Ball Game—Notes. The funeral of Peter Willlam Mitch- ell, the aged pedestrian’ who died ye terday afternoon from injuries re- ceived in collision with a motorcyele on the New Britain road Saturda night, will be held tomorrow after- noon at 2:30 from hig late residence at No, 24 Maple street. Rev., M Thurston, pastor of the® Methodist church, will officiate and interment will be in West cemeter: John W. Brewer of Summer street, Bristol, driver of the motoreycle, has been exonerated from responsibility for the accident by the relatives of the deceased and by Medical FEx- aminer Theodore G. Wright. No at- tempt will be made by the local au- thorities to hold Brewer for further investigation of the accident. Mr. Mitchell was walking from New Britain to his home whensthe accl- dent happened. By 9:30 o'clock he had reached a point just bevond the residence of Charles P. Hart, where there is a turn in the road and where the view is shut off by two large barns close to the highway, Here he no- ticed a Buick automobile standing on the wrong side of the road while tire repairs were being made. Mr. Mitchel]l had just passed this machine when Brewer swung around the bend going towards Plainville. On the rear seat of the motorcycle was Mrs. M. Haskell, also of Bristol. Brewer says that he was running on second speed and not traveling more than ten miles an hour, How the Accident Happened. Blinded by the bright headlights on the car by the side of the road, Brewer swung out with a wide detour and then guided his machine back to his own side of the road, to find Mr. Mitchell right in front of him. Ap- plication of the emergency brake came too late. The motorcycle struck Mr, Mitchell a glancing blow, knock- ing him flat on the road. Mrs. Has- kell was also thrown to the road and rendered unconscious. Brewer him- self escaped injury. While Mrs. Haskell was being car- ried to the home of Charles P. Hart to receive attention, Mr. Mitchell picked himself up, brushed the dust from his clothes, and started on down the hill towards Plainville. His shoul- der was injured and he had receivea several bad cuts and bruises on his face. Refused n Ride Home. A few hundred yards from the scene of the accident Mr. Mitchell met Jeremiah B. Lewis who, realiz ing that the pedestrian was injured, offered to take him home in a car riage. Mr. Mitchell declined this of- fer of assistance, saying that he was well able to walk home. He arrived at his home on Maple street shortly. after 11 o'clock. Mrs. Mitchell, who was roused from bed to let him in, did not notice any- thing unusual about his appearance. He bathed his face and immediately went to bed. Meanwhile reports of the accident nhad reached his son, John H. Mitch- ell of East street, who had returned by trolley from New Britain about 10 o'clock. When he called at the home of his parents he found his fa- ther in a restle: semi-conscious sleep. He protested that he did not need medical attention and said that he would be all right in the morning. At midnight he became riously Il and Dr. J. C. Tanner was called to dress his injuries and make him comfortable for the night. The phy- siclan ‘found that Mr. Mitchell had a bad gash on the top of his head. Early vester morning he lapsed into unconsciousness, steadily grew weaker during the day and died at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Had Concussion of Brain. After investigation of the case, Medical Examiner T. G. Wright of New Britain id that death was caused by concussion of the brain. 1t s thought that Mr. Mitch- ell also received serlous internal in- Jjuries. It is incidence quainted met with making an remarkable co- by those who were ac- with Mr. Mitchell, that he an accident at the same locality in White Oak two years ago this summer in the memorable after- math of the Plainviile riot.

A thick saved him from a fracture of the skull. On that occasion he showed his usual forti- tude and reticence by refusing to admit that the wound on his head was more than a trivial scratch. Mr. Mitchell came to from Bentley, Yorkshire, England, in 1887. He was sixty-eight years old, He had lived a quiet, unassuming life, with his chief interest in his home and his family. He is survived by a wife, one son, John H. Mitchell, and a brother, George Mitchell of New Britain. The supposition is that he had spent the evening with his brother Saturday night and had left his house about 8:30 to walk home, John W. Brewer, the motorcyclist, is a lineman employed by the South- ern New England Telephone com- pany. He called at Mr. Mitchell's home twice yesterday to inquire af- ter the victim of the accident and was completely unnerved to find, on his second visit, that Mr. Mitchel's in- juries had proven fatal. Bristol Man Arrested. Herman Keller, a resident of Bris- tol who has been causing some anxi- ety to the police of that city, was ar- rested this morning on Main street by Constable Philip Marino. He was placed In the lock-up and will be glven a hearing when he recovers from a bad attack of intoxication. Keller recently arranged a real es- tate transfer in Bristol which enriches his pocket to the extent of $125 and then suddenly disappeared. The Bristol police, fearing that he had met with foul play at the hands of certain par- ties who were interested in the money let it be known that they would like to find him. When arrested this morning he had the $125 in his pock- et. when he met the s who were chased In the Plainville Hot “Dogs” and Corr The members of the Musicale Oc- tette club had an enjoyable corn- roast at Spring Ledge on Saturday af- ternoon. Roast corn and frankfur- ters, baked potatoes and all the “fixin's” associated with a good old- fashioned New England corn roast, helped to appease the appetites of the musicians. The visitors applauded several selections rendered by the club. The members of the organiza- tion are Edward Nilson, Carl Nilson, George Nlilson, Nels Nilson, Wallace Beckwith, John Harris, Frank John- son and J. H. Stone. Plainville A, C. Wins. In the first of a series of three games to settle the much-disputed point of the town baseball cham- pionship, the Plainville Athletic club, piloted by Munager Herbert Ewald, defeated Manager Harr Donahue's Federals at Woodford's field yester- day afternoon by the score of 18 to 14. . All kinds of base hits predominat- ed, Cunningham and Wadsworth composed the battery for the victors and Guino and Jackson for the van- quished. The players on both teams are con- fident that the two concluding games will be battle royals, contests well worth seeing. Taken to Hospital. William L. Cooke, son of Mr, and Mrs, John W.
