The question concerned the position of Amedio Polignani, the young detective who had associated with Carbone and Abarno until their arrest, posing as an anarchist. Justice Nott told the jury that the law does not regard as guilty a police officer, who, in the performance of his duty, aids in the commission of a crime, because he does not have the guilty conscience necessary to make a crime. Jury Explains Duress. One of the jurors then asked the justice to define duress and to state how far duress would excuse the commission of a crime. Justice Nott reported that if a defendant could prove that he had acted hecause he believed he was in danger of his life . or of bodily harm, then he should be excused.

WIND NEW BRIT. HALLORAN REPORT CONFOUNDS INSTITUTE CRITICS Professor Camp Shows Bi Increase in Dzmard for Books, Elc Advocates of reducing the appro- priation of the New Britain Institute recelved their answer at the annual | meeting of the managers of the In- stitute last night through the report of Professor D. N. Camp, New Brit- ain’s venerable educator. The report showed that there had been a large increase in the demand for books and periodicals at the Institute and that it would be hardly fair to those who patronize the Institute to cut the ap- propriation. The exact increase was as follows: Books from the main library for adults, incrcase of over six per cent.; books for children, in- crease of thirty-five per cent.; cir- culation in schools, increase of fifty- six per cent. Mayor Quigley Changes Mind. Mayor George A. Quigley was pres- ent at the meeting as an ex-officio member of the board of directors and the other directors took pains to show him how it would retard the progress of the Institute if the appropriation was slashed. Mayor Quigley is said to have been convinced that the re- dnction made by the common coun- cil was too radical and he is said also to have stated that the Institute need- ed an appropriation not much small- | er than that granted last year. In order to refute criticism ex- pressed in the council and board of finance and taxation that the direct- ors of the Institute expended city ap- propriations in a manner other than intended, Marcus White, secretary of the directors today issued a statement in which he said that any appropria- tion made by the city for upbuilding and maintenance of the library prop- er had been spent for that purpose and not for repairs or improvements to the building or surroundings. Officers Re-elected. All officers were re-elected for the coming year. They are as follows: President—Professor D. N. Camp. Vice prestdent—William H. Hart. Secretary-—Marcus White. Treasurer—Frederick 8. lain. Directors for three years—F. G. Platt, C. F. Smith and E. anley. Treasurer Chamberlain presented an interesting report showing the re- ceipts and expenditures for the past fiscal year. Professor Camp’s report was as fol- lows: 1014-15 Fruitful Year. & “The last year has been one of the most fruitful in results in the history of the library. “The effort of the preceding year to supply books at the school for the | pupils to read, has bheen continued with gratifying results. An increased love-of good books, and an intelligent and profitable use of books have been cultivated. “There has been a large increase of attendance in the children’s room, where instruction is given on the con- tents of books and their selection. “The circulation of books from the main library during the year was, for | adults, $11,211 volumes, an increase of 6,355 volumes, a little more than 6 per cent.; for children, 67,618 vol- umes, an increase of 17,574, or 35 per cent. “The school circulation, including books which went to adults from the | Fast street school, was 31,384 vol- umes, an increase of 11,275, or 56 per cent. Circulation 210,213 Volumes. “The entire circulation for the year was 210,213 volumes. In addition, a large number of books and magazines were read at the library by persons who prefer to come for their read to well.lighted, pleasant rooms, whe books and periodicals are found on open shelves. Eight thousand mount- ed pictures were circulated for use in the schools and for illustration. The reference room is visited daily students and others who find helps study and investigation in t ro Sclentific Books Necded. “The new inventions and discover- and the new application of known | make It desirable that the !i- brary should be supplied with the latest and best books on scientific sub- jec Chamber- “The library should have the latest | and best historical and biographica) | works, and there is also a constaat | demand for books of general ture. “The increased use of books makes it necessary that constant attention be given to rebinding and repairs. The expense of rebinging books and binding periodicals of the last year was nearly one thousand dollars. “During the last two vears, isclud- ing the time books have bheen sup- plied to schoools, 14,450 books were repaired at the library. The expense of rebinding and repairs will increase with the increased number of read- ers. The increase of those who take out books for home reading for the last year was 2,295, Science Room But No Funds. “The sclence room with a collee- tion of minerals and other objects in natural history is now ready to opened to the public, whenever the institute i{s provided with funds for litera- | an attendant. institute will when this “The influence of the be materially increased { room and the art room can be visited freely, at least for a few days each weék. “The co-operation of the tendent of schools and of has contributed to the usefulness books sent to the schools, and faithfulness of the librarians has helped to make the library in the highest degree a benefit to the city.” Treasurer Chamberlain’s Report.
