Smith of Kensington The example made of Hulburt E. ‘Hubbard of Meriden last week when Judge George Griswold fined him $10 and costs for a total of $25, for wan- tonly killing song birds in violation of the law, had no effect on Martin Sofio and M. Coritte of New Britain. Both were arrested by Head Game ‘Warden of Hartford County Edmund L. Pease of Thompssonville yesterday, . charged with killing song birds, not % nhaving a license and shooting on the sabbath. Judge Griswold found both of the accused guilty and imposed a fine of $27 without costs against ¢ eoflo, in whose possession a young bluejay was found, and Coritte was assessed $17 without costs. Acting on numerous complaints that he has received Warden Pease paid a visit to this town yesterday afternoon. While passing near the filter beds he was attracted by shooting. Upon further investigation he came upon Sofio and his companion with shot- » guns under their arms He requested the men to exhibit their licenses and wheén neither could produce the re- quired paper .he searched them and finding a recently slaughtered bluejay in their possession, he placed both men under arrest. When given an opportunity to speak in their own defense both the accused pleaded ignorance of the law. They were out for a little pleasure ara seeing a bird they tested their gkill. They wished to bring the bird home for the baby. As both men are married and have children, Prosecutor William H. Gib- ney asked for a fine rather than a jail sentence in order to not inflict too yuch hardship on the innocent fami- *lies. In fining the men Judge Gris- wold warned both that should they ever appear before him 7 °i~ charged with the same offense tiic: 2ld be failed. Judge Griswold that he is determined to stop the sla ter- | ing of song birds, which are | disappearing. i Wanted an Auto Ride. Although a warrant had been serv- d on her to appear in the court this morning to answer to the charge of assaulting Mrs. Thomas Capsticks, Mrs- Paul Balog of Beckley was not present when' lher name was called by Prosecutor Gibney. Her husband. however, was on hand and when as! ed what was the reason for his w absence he answered in an insolenc manner. “I told you yesterday that my wife won’t come to court unless you send pn automobile ‘after her.” Sheriff Clark was at once dispatch- rapidiy | cemetery- Mr. Smith was forty three years of age and was a native of New Bri- tain. He is survived by his wife, who is prostrated with grief. Mr. Smith was emploved as an engineer at the Berlin power station and Saturday at- tended to his duties as usual. Coming home in the evening, he complained of feeling tired but ate a hearty sup- per and appeared much refreshed. Later he complained of experiencing a difficulty in breathing and Dr. Gris- wold was called but before he could arrive the man was dead When asked his name Balog he- came fresh and answered that he hold told the court his name a hun- dred times. He laughed and took the proceedings as a huge joke. “I'll show you,” he said. When informed that if he didn’t change his attitude the charge of contempt of the court would also be preferred against him Balog at once began to see things in a different light.
