It has heen said that he has never had a decision reversed by | the higher courts. Colonel Jarvis, being a fair-minded man, it was hard to see jusy why he | should wish to oust the judge, and ppearances now point to the stories | originating from some of his political enemies. Now that the judgeship is settled, the next question will be the | appointment of a prosecutor, which is done by the judge. Richard Mur- ray has been mentioned as a likely { candidate for the position, as he has | made a study of law at Columbia w | versity and is also a graduate from Munhattan eollege. Mr. Murray has { 2130 had a great deal of practical ex- Lerience in law work, as at one fime he was in the office of former 1 trict Attorney Osborne of New York city.

Farrell to Be Quecstioned by Officers If He Can Be Located—Jury De- cides Day Was Capable of Making | Will—selectman on Committee. | With Captain Robert N. Hurley of | the state police department wbrking ‘}Ol\ the case, the investigation of the | alleged hold-up which is said to have occurred in the driveway near the Hotel Clarendon Tuesday night when, Joseph TFarrell claims to have been assaulted and robbed by two Plain- ville young men, procseded with more vigor today and it was expected here | that the suspects and their alleged vietim would be examined before night, arrests resulting if Farrel's original complairt can be substan- tiated. Farrell could not be located yes- | terday by the local authorities and it _could not be definitely learned whether his alleged assailants had separated him from his money or whether his claims regarding being robbed of several hundred dollars was but a dream. Farrell was badly in- toxicated at the time the alleged assault took place, accounting in a measure for fajlure of people with whom he talked aKout the affair pay- ing but little attention to his story. The townspeople are wrought up considerably over the affair and de- termined to see that it has a full in- vestization they ‘aused a complaint police department. He assigned Cap- tain Hurley to search for the facts and the latter was at work on the case todav. Hints of laxity on the part of the local authorities have been made by citizens who have taken an interest in the investigation. They arghe that had the authorities shown a disposi- tion to investigate at the time the re- port of the holdup was made, the truh of Frrell's story would easily have been learned. Captain Hurley expects to locate Farrell and if thé latter sticks to his original story the voung men who it is alleged participated in the holdup will he brought into court. There were reports in circulation to the ef- fect that eye-witnesses of the incident have declared that Farrell's assailants were frightened away hefore they had an opportunity to search him careful- 1y, and if they secured any money at all, the amount would not exceed the few dollars which thelr victim had in his pocket, his “roll” having been hid- {den in his underclothing. George Gagnor and a young negro {named Camnridge, familiarly known 15 ““Spot.” are reported to have been Toarrell’s assailants. Gagnor left town a short time after the alleged assault, although his friends claim that he had previously arranged to go to Avon, where he has been employved recently, and that the fight or rob- bery had nothing to do with his de- parture. Nothing that has occurred here in a long time has caused a near sensa- tion to compare with that attending the alleged robbery. First Selectman Johnson denied this morning that the state police were called into the case at his solicitation. He made several inquiries regarding the report of the robbery, but could get 1Mttle information other than that contained in the many conflicting storfes circulated In connection with it. Postmaster P. J. Prior was indig- nant today over what he considered the failure of the authorittes to take the proper action, and he declared that the case will be run down no matter what course the local police elect to follow. Former Resident Dead. Word has been received here of the death of Mrs. Jane A. Roden, a former resident of this place, which occurred Tuesday evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Gearge FE. Cooley of Hartford. Mrs. Roden had been living with her daughter for some time. She was 84 vears of age and was born in Farmington.

If you are not known at a bank and wish to get accommodation, banks will require an endorser. Lax-a-Tone was not known in New Britain, we did not simply tell the New Britain people what a wonderful remedy we had, although we knew it. ‘We have - given you endorsements from reputable people here and them tell you their experience with | Lax-a-Tone. In other words, we have not asked you to take our unsupported word, as we feel if a remedy has merit it can easily be proved, and the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
