Marchello Velichi was bound over o the December term of the superior ®ourt by Judge George G. Griswold fhis morning in the town court on the eharge of attempted crimina] assault ¢n Mrs, A, H.

[ Mr. Gibney served in that capac- ft¥®and will do sa until his successor qualifies. Rocco Belmont of Kensing- ‘ten acted & interpreter and Velichi entered a plea of not guilty. The first witness for the state was Mrs. A, H. Berseron of Kensington Mrs. Bergeron, who lives near the Paper Goods company, said that she Jeft her hame about 7 o'clock last gvening to go to the postoffice. had reached the spot between the ticquel and Venturo residences, when ghe was grabbed and dragged into the bushes alongside the road. The side- walk at this point is elevated and her mssailant came up so quickly that it it ;vas easy, despite her strenuaus re- gistance, to draw her from the street. Mrs. Bergeron called for help and her pgsailant put his hand over her mouth @nd later filled her mouth with dirt to prevent further cries. There is an electric light about 100 feet away, but the spot where the assault took place dark, according to the wit- ness. witness was unable to iden- tifsg the prisoner as her assailant, but gnid the man wore a sweater and a jap. His breath smelled & frive man, frightened by her cries, hid n the bushes and the first person she fiw was Miss Margaret Hull. Miss Hull, the next witness, said she yas returning home, when she heard plys. Bergeron's cries. She immedi- y ran to Dominlc Venturo, who vas on his veranda, having also heard he cries, and together they wert to Btie spot. As they approached a man jumped out of the bushes and Mrs. sergeron called, “There he goes.” She yrroborated Mrs. Bergeron’s testi- mony regarding the appearance of the hman and was positive that Velichi was the man she saw runni Dominic Venturo, Geo Alexander Schall and Charle j8o testified and recognized cner.

Lanterns Broken. little inconvenience has been caused the Suzio company lately by | the practice of breaking lanterns, | which are placed along th: ridge, where the new gutters are being con- structed. Mr. Davis, the foreman, has complained to the local authori- ties and an investigation will be made. Tivery-evening for the past week from 1wo to five lanterns have been smash- ed. Some are known to have been {Ivoken by passing autoists, but oth- crs, it is said, have been used as tar- gets by some embryo Alexanders and Johnsons. Not a Candidate, Griswold. The situation in the republican par- regarding the nominee for repre- Not a i ty, | sentative from this town to the next | legislature, was made a trifle more | complex this morning, when Judge .George G. Griswold made the state- ment, that he will not be a candidate for the nomination at the caucus next Friday evening. Judge Griswold had | been approached by several members of the party and asked to allow his name to be placed before the caucus, but he declined sayini he is to busy with various other duties. At present there Is but one candidate, Colonel Charles M. Jarvis, but it is said that those desiring Judge Griswold as the party nominee are looking up another | man to oppose Colonel Jarvis at the | caucus, All this is particularly pleasing to the democrats, who in view of the ap- | parent split in the ranks of their op- ponents, can see nothing but.a party victory this fall. L. A. Westcott of { Bast Berlin is the logical candidate | and leaders of the party are making i every effort to have him run. Probate Convention Tonight. The republican probate convention for the district of Berlin will be held [ this evening at 8 o'clock in the re- publican headquarters in New Britain. | At the time the local delegation was | chosen, it was believed the members would - oppose Judge B.

He com- municated with the Waterbury police. { The latter had been put to consic erable trouble in attempting to pac the owner of the stolen outfit as he was wildly excited over his loss. The authorities asked that the youngsters be held here until an officer could be sent for them. Rather than have them locked up in the Town buiiding Mr. Norton se- cured lodging for the little fellows for the night and this morning, with tears streaming down their faces, they started for home. They de- clared that they intended to return the team after they had a ride and had they not lost their way they had expected to return to the Brass City before nightfall, “Dead Man” Was Drunk. An excited autoist hailed Constable Philip Marino at the center t morning and reported that he had seen the body of a dead man on the East street railroad crossing. Inves- tigation revealed that there was noth- ing wrong with the motorist’s eye- sight as the prosfrate form of a man was stretched across the tracks in the path of the dinky trains. His heart was beating regularly, however, and the officer found him to be but a plain drunk who had se- lected a precarious position in which to sleep. “The chap was too drunk to tell his name and he had to be carted to the lock-up. Slept at Freight House, Picked up by Officers Marino and David at the freight house platform last night, a stranger who gave hls name as J. F. Sullivan and claimed Meriden as his home, was taken into custody on the charge of intoxication. The man claimed that he had lost the trolley for Meriden and went to the freight house to sleep off his jag. He will be glven a hearing before Justice Cogdell late this afternoon.

The dead are Mrs. Clara Dilie, a passenger, and Otto Borshert, mo- torman.

The runaway car jumped the track and struck the northbound car. The combined weight of the two cars and the shock of the collision was too much for the wooden bridge, which sagged and then gave way. Edna Wddaington, a telephone op- erator, employed by the Erie Rall- road compayy, saw the accident from where she sat at her switchboard and turned in a call for ambulances, doe- tors and the fire department. The portion of the bridge which fell is just north of the river.

The the railroad proposes to suh- stitute negroes for the white truckers was again evidenced today when a second crew of fifty Souther~ darkies landed here.

Opposition which has developed to the efforts of one element to get the town to purchase voting machines for use at future elections indicates that. there will be a warm time at the spe- cial town meeting Monday evening when the question of abandoning the Australian ballot will be considered. The men responsible for the petition for the meeting admit that all are not in accord with their ideas and they confess that the outlook is not par- ticularly bright. They claim that the opposition comes from republican politicians and the saloonkeepers who claim that the machine is too complicated for prac- tical use. Postmaster P. J. Prior, who Is favorable to the voting ma- chine plan, is considerably wrought up over the attitude of the liquor dealers. This morning Le stated that if they use unfair tactics in their opposition to the acceptance of the proposition he will personally enter into a campaign next year to drive the saloons from the town. With other advocates he has re- ceived a series of letters from var- ious towns in which the machin are in use. All communications re- fer favorably to the machine. Mr. Prior calls attention to the fact that the state spent several thousand dol- lars to call a special session of the general embly to get through a measure cnabling the troops at the border to vote in the coming election. The soldiers constitute but three- fourts of one per cent. of the voters. Mr. Prior contends that more than five per cent. of the voters are an- rually disfranchised hecause of the | intricacies of Australian bhallot and | he argues that by expending a small | amouht their right of suffrage may be | of | he the to pur- exercised. The men, the republican opposed to the machine and they line up against the chase. The special session will be held in | connection with the adjourned annual town meeting and the voting-machine recognized leaders party, are said to introduction of are expected plan for its —— T . feature will probably be the most in teresting part of the session. Car Service Delayed. The operation of trolley cars on the Bristol and Plainville line was suspended for nearly two hours this morning owing to an accident, a truck on which was loaded a huge derrick timber having overturned near the switch on Forestville avenue. The timber was being brought from Hartford to Bristol where it was to be used in connection with the erec- tion of the new factory the New Departure company.
