Ross said that when arrested he had offered to take the officer into his car and if he could get fifty miles an hour out of it he would give it to him. As a clincher t%v‘m‘s plea of not guilty Ross said: ‘‘Well, if I was going twenty-five miles an ‘hour the officer would have to go fifty miles an hour to catch me, wouldn’t he?” ‘ \ Swift Fined Total of $105.

Cooper appeared for Mr. Swift and entered a plea of nolle contendere, Judge Meskill fined the accused $5 and costs for drunkenness and $100 and costs for reckless driving. Philips Held For Superior Court, It is apparent that the well known H. Wilmont Philips has committed his last offense for ‘'some’ time, for this morning Judge Meskill found prob- able cause against him and he was bound over to the June term of the superfor court in bonds of $500. On February 23 Philips was in court, charged with forging a check. As a result of his disclosures several High school boys were arraigned in court to testify against Isidore Simons for selling liquor to minors. As the time Philips was placed on probation. Sub- sequently he went to Providence and there got into trouble that landed him once more in the tolls of the police. Yesterday the youth, who is only about. Seventeen vears of age, stoile $35 from his father and fled. He was chased by 'Harmon Johnson and caught as he was trying to reach the | depot. Sergeant Bamforth placed him under arrest yesterday afternoon. The judge revoked his previous probation this morning ‘@nd sbotnd him over to the next term of .the superior court. Police in Liquor Raid. Waddling up Park street at 3 o’clock Sunday morning with an un- usually heavy dress suit case being continually changed from' one hand to the other, Wadislaw Zak was ap- proached by 'Officers Hanford Dart and Horace Mercure.. In the suit case was found twenty-seven bottles of beer, which accounted for the weight. Zak showed an indisposition to tell the minions of the law where he pro- cured the beverage, so the two of- ficers, notified Captain Grace , and asked for instructions, Officer ' Gus Hellberg, who is old in the service, was sent down and administered a convincing. little third degree of his own invention. Zak readily told where he got his booze and named Benjamin Zachus, of No. 2 Pleasant street as the proprietor. The police raided Zachus' house and found that he had been doing a land office business. One hundred and twenty bottles of beer»were found as well as ninety-four eémpty beer bot- tles and fifty empty whisky bottles: This morning Sachus was charged with two violations of the liquor law by Liquor ‘Prosecutor ‘B. W. Alling, and the case was continued until Wed- nesday morning in bonds of $200. Indecent Exposure Case. George Simons was fined $35 and costs for indecent exposure on Bige- low street, between 9 and 10 o’clock Saturday night. He ‘was arrested af- iter a short chase by Officer Dart on complaint of Mrs. Doane and Mrs. Kirk. Both women testified to the man’s indecent actions and vulgar re- marks. Simons denied the accusations and told a rambling story of ‘“both women coming after me and so I took:. a little run for myself, thinking it would be all over.” Many Drunks in Court. John Webber was arrested yester. day by Officer Woods far drunken- ness. It was his first appearance in the local court and the judge gave him a warning, suspending sen- tence. Patrick Sullivan, also drunk, was given a suspended sentence. He was arrested by Officer John Carlson at the railroad station. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed on An- thony Resofski for drunkenness. He was arrested by Officer Mercure at 1:6Q, o’clock Sunday morning while he was sleeping on the raflroad tracks between Church and Chest. hut streets. Louis Heck, another drunk, drew a suspended sentence. Officer Co#grove arpested him omn Main street at 3 o’clock Saturday. Officer Hellberg arrested Harry Smith for drunkenness. Harry was sent to jall for twenty days, Tried to Jolly Cops. “You'd better mind your own bus- iness and let the officers alome,” said Judge Meskill to John Slater, ar- rested by Officers Dart and Mercure on Maple street early Sunday morn- ing.” He was charged with drunk. enness and breach of the peace, but ‘giri, is strong in his denunciation of drickson, he 'said, and picked him | out of the spectators. The war- rant was changed and Hendrickson was charged with the offense and Mattson was charged with assault- ing Julian Drensick. , Both denied the charges. A nolle was' entered in. each case. Other Cases on Docket. The charges of drunkenness and breach of the peace against John | Casalavich was denied by him. A companion offender, John Snyder, charged with " breach of the peace, also pleaded not; guilty. Officer Quirk was sent o SnyQer's home | on Smaliey street late Saturday night and found everybody excited and Casalavich drunk.: Mrs. Sny. der said her husband smashed up some’ crockery because she would not give him money and then went to a saloon with Casalavich. Neither did ' anything to warrant their ar- rest, said the woman. Casalavich said Snyder threw him down stairs| because he demanded $10 due him. Snyder was discharged -and Casala- vich was fined $3 and costs. The case against Dr. Richard Brown,. which was continued from last Friday when he was sentenced to jail for drunkenness, was' contin- 'ued until tomorraw ' morning AYy this time it is expected' that the for- mer physician will be committed to the .insane retreat at Middletown.

TRES 10 NURDER GRt-HE MRS (Continued. from~ First Page!)" v and Mrs. Cianci friends on Walnut street, leaving their daughter alone with “hen'itwo brothers, Joseph and Anthony, aged nine and twelve years. The two boys tell a graphic story of the shooting;,” but have no'clear idea as to time. . One says he.was down stairs when he heard a shot. He rushed to the frant door and saw Carpentere running down the out- side stairs and race up Cherry street. The boy then went upstairs and in ‘her bedroom. he found his sister lay- ing on the floor with the revolver be- side her. went to visit IAay Long Time on' Floor. Panic stricken and not knowing what elSe to do but get his parents, the terrified youngster ran way up to ‘Walnut street and notified his mother and father that his sister was shot. They hurried home and it was not until after their arrival that the at- tempted murder became known. Therefore it is probable that the un- fortunate girl lay bleeding on the floor close onto an hour before she received any assistance at all. Girl Identifies Assailant. When arrested Carpentere stoutly maintained his innocence; Deter- mined to take no chances on his iden- tification, Prosecutor Klett and Chief. Rawlings took their prisoner to the hospital, . Keeping him out of sight the girl was asked if she knew who shot her. She replied that she did. Could she identify him if she saw him, she was asked, and replied in the af- firmative. Carpentere was then brought be- side her cot and she pointed to him and exclaimed: “He's the man who shot me.” The accused man threw up his hands in Thorror ‘and .exclaimed: ‘Paulina, if you were dying would you say that I shot you?” “Yes, if 1 was dving I'd say you shot me,” replied the girl. In her weakened condition this effort was screly taxing her strength and with this last denouement of the prisoner she turned over on her side, complain- ing of terrific pains in the abdomen. Sam’s Love ‘Was Spurned. "Mr. Cianci, father of the wounded Carpentere, He says that he former- ly boarded at his house but that he forced his attentions on his daughter and even made such proposals to her that he finally ordered him to.leave, It is also said that the girl hersglf spurned Carpentere’s avowels of love and even chided him about $10 he owed her father for back board. At the time of the shooting it s said that Carpentere had approached the girl with a foul suggestion and that maddened by her scorn he drew his revolver and fired. Was Divorced Tast Friday.

The Gulflight's cargo, Mr. Kennedy said, ;consisted of gasoline and oil in biflk and in cases.
