Judge George G. Griswold in the . town court this morning and each was | fined $5. Sentence was suspended on payment of the costs of the court. In the absence of Prosecutor Wil- P liam H. Gibney, who is confined to ghis home with illness, Ex-Tax Col- [ector Elmer E. Austin conducted the b :t.e in a commendable manner for le state. When put to plea all with ithe exception of Joseph Hamille and [ Harold Sanders entered a plea of “guilty. Mamille .and Sanders con- tended they were not culpable as they were attired with swimming suits, Svhile the other boys were donned o‘Iy in nature’s raiment. As none of the accused had reached Xhe age of twenty-one years, Joseph L. Sanders, father of Harold San- ders, was appointed guardian by the court. In behalf of the boys, Mr. San- ders said that they had not known that they were doing wrong when s they went swimming in the Mattabes- sett river. This was the first time many of them had visited the swim- ming hole. He pleaded that the court should be lenient with the boys. As for his son, he said, a judgment of not guilty should be entered against him. The boy, he asserted, was at- tired in a bathing suit. Harold Sanders took the stand and corroborated his father’s statements, saying that he had on a bathing suit when arrested by the officers. Under crgss-examination of Prosccutor Aus- tim, he admitted that he - ha un- ;;dressed in full view of pas: v be- . fore he donned the suit. “I was shaded by another boy,” he said. When given an opportunity * to i ‘make a plea in thelr own defense none of the boys were quick in iling themselves of the oppor- ity, After a few moments of iting, however, John Lugli took it upon his shoulders to testify in be- /half of himself and his companions. e did not know that there was any aw prohibiting swimming in the iver. If he had knowh that there he testified. Sheriff Clark took the stand and wu of arresting the swimmers., He 1d that of late he had received nu- erous. complaints about men and boys swimming in the river. Many of them ran around the banks nude and made themselves further objection- able by shouting at pedestrians. Neighbors living about the swimming hole and trolley officials had com- plained, to him. He was assisted in making the arrests by Constables Hackett and Austin. Hamille, who had entered a plea of not guilty, asked the court if he could make a statement. He said he had worn a bathing, suit under- neath his clothes and so no chargc could be preferred against him. He said Sanders had also on a bathing suit. These statements conflicted with Sanders previous testimony. In imposing sentence Judge Gris- j wold claimed that the boys were old | enough to know better. Bonds in case of appeal were fixed at $25. The boys paid up after court. Selectment Gibney Sick. Suffering from a severe attack of acute indigestion, Selectman William H. Gibney s confined to his bed at his home on Worthington Ridge. Mr. morning and is under the care of Drs. R, M. and M. H. Griswold of Kensing- ton. In speaking of Mr. Gibney's con- dition this morning Dr. R. M. Gris- wold said that although he is not seriously sick Mr. Gibney will be con- { fined to his home for several days to f3und guilty of indecent exposure by | come. Excursion on August 28. Final plans are being completed by the employes of the American Paper Goods company for the excursion which is to be held at Savin Rock, New Haven, on Saturday, August 28. Many were of the opinion that the excursion should have been held at Lake Compounce while others thought that Savin Rock should be the place. By an overwhelming vore of over 200 it was decided upon Savin Rock. The trip will be made by trolley and after arriving in New Haven a shore dinner will be served. Boat races and many other athletic events will be indulged in. The feature of the af- ternoon at the “Rock” will be the baseball game between the married and the single men. There is a great deal of rivalry between the two fac- tions at the factory and both are con- fident of winning. It is also being planned to have a ball game among the fair sex and fromn report from the back lote around Kensington, where the young ladies are said to be diligently practicing each evening, they will make the men look like ama- teurs. Married in Kensington. It became known today that James Arthur Ellis of New York and Mrs. Emma Sanford, widow of James San- ford of Meriden and the daughter of George W. Pettis of Portland, Conn., were married in Kensington on Sat- urday afternoon. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Carleton Hazen, pastor of the Kensington Congrega tional church, in the rectory church. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis plan to make their home in Portland until Septem- ber 1, after which tney will remove to New. York where they will make their permanent residence. Rain Damages Crops. Although it is impossible to definite. ly estimate the amount of damage which was done to tae crops in this town early last evening by the rain and hail storm which swept over here, it is thought that the Joss will amount ' to several hundreds of dollars. !ing for several Gibney was taken sick early yesterday | of the | Many acres of corn were swept Gown by the storm and laid to waste. The deluge also damaged the potato crops considerably. Many farmers this morning expressed tne opinion that yesterday's storm did more damage to the crops than any other that has taken place this summer. The roads were inundated a few minutes after the storm startea and pedes- trians returning home from work ex- perienced considerable trouble. Does Father Know? Those having occasion to engage weeks, are of the { opinion that he knows where his son is. For some unknown reason how- ever, when asked about the boy he de- nies that he is cognizant of his where- | arouts. This morning Mr. Fransen, while at- | tending the Rosenberg cuse made the statement that he thinks that the case had something to do with mnis son's disappearance. he disclaimed knowledge of it. A few days ago in speaking to one | auestions as to where the boy is. claimed that the boy was lured away | from home by his older brother. It and that David does not live at home.

Grand Juror Gwillim explained that a number of weeks ago the accused was sentenced to jail for thirty days but was released on probation on his promise to do better. He was again arrested a short time later and was given a second chance after he had taken the pledge. The prosecutor didn’t believe he was entitled to any further consideration.

He believes there mizht be an improvement if the were eliminated. | Hay Crop Ruined. 1 ! According to the farmers, the hay crop. in this locality is practically ruined this'year.
