S LA s i LED HER T0 STEAL Mrs. Bowles Tells of Being in Garfinkle’s - Power Unshaken in major detail under the grilling cross examination of: oppos- ing counsel, the old story of love scorned-and Cupld®’s guidance into paths apart from honesty and the dic- tates of conscience was simply and dramatically told before Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morn- ing by Mrs. Hilda Bowles of 14 Lilac street, principal witness against Michael Garfinkle, . peddler, of §0 Whiting street, charged with being implicated in the theft and. disposal of twenty high-grade sweaters from the American Hosiery company’s plant. All the more dramatic because ofgthe straight-forward and simple manner in which the testimony was given, it apparently, clinched the case against Garfinkle, probable cause be- ing found and he ‘was bound over to | p, the June term of superior court under bongs of $1,000. .

She told how, after she had gone to bed, his re- Pulses had prevented her from sieep- ing and, dressing, she went to his homé, braving the elements to ask his torgivaness and to plead that old relations be continued.

Saturday, she said, a trip was taken to Hartford and it was con- tended that Garfinkle came to the apartments then, ransacked the bureau drawers and took away pledes of Jewelry that he had given her as gifts. #I really loved him,” she said, “nursed him in sickness and was willing to do anything that I could for him, But if the quarrel meant that we were through,” she continued, “I told him that I must have more money for the sweaters. He made me a thief and treated me with little consideration.” Martin K., Pascoe, vice-president and treasurer of the American H company, testified as to,the value of the sweaters, identified them as being products of his concern and said that &ales slips showed that Mrs. Bowles had bought none of' them. Mrs. Bowles said that she had known Garfinkle for about two years and that his “strange influence” over her was felt from the initial, meeting. She testified that she is a fhative of England and has been in this country about eleven years. Judge Gaffney produced no wit- nesses for the defense, but closely cross-examined the state’s witnesses. Schlafer Waives Examination. Walving examination and making no statement excepting a plea ‘of not guilty, Hyman Schlafer, peddler, of 219 North street, was arraigned on four counts of theft in connection with . the case against Harry Goldberg, for- mer shipping clerk for Gordon Bros., "How’s This? ‘We offer On 'm -n\:‘mmfltfll‘- mflwn‘t rid of catal ge! of catarrh. free. her $10 {According held for superior court charged with obtaining goods under falss: pretenses.

That the dis- approval was almed directly at New Britain and Waterbury, ‘where such suard ‘units have been organized, there is not much daubt in the minds of local officials for the complaint specifically stated “two cities,” and such would apply to, the two named. Mayor G, A. Quigley, when ques- | tioned concerning this disapproval this morning, disclaimed any intention io embarrass the state in recruiting the National Guard or Home Guard. “As mayor of the city I certainly do-mot want to do a single thing that. will 4 confiict with the Home Gusrd, and I don’t think we have,” he said, “Thp New Britain Rifle club was organfseed months before the Home Guard: was lever thought of and I, as mayor, was authorized by the common coundil to swear in such deputies at the Febru- ary meeting, previous to the time the @overnor issued his Home Guard call,” The Objection.

SOPRANO SOLOIST SECURED Mildred Greaham of the OCollegate Church on' Fifth Avenue, New York, to Be Heard at Concert. Mildred Graham, soprano soloist at the Collegate church on Fifth avenue, New York city, has been engaged to #ing the soprano solos in “King Olat,” the work to be given by the New Brit- ain Choral society st its second con- cert. Miss Graham possesses a re- markably rich, dramatic soprano voice that will show to a fine advantage in the many difficult solos in “King Olat.” The Choral soclety feels that it is fortumate in obtaining so able a soloist. ‘With - Arthur Middleton, baritone, Theodore Karl, tenor and . Mildred Graham soprano, a lerge and well- trained chorus eomposed of the best voices in the city and a picked or- chestra of thirty pleces, the offices of the society feel that this concert is one that will long be remembered by the music lovers of New Britain, ' The date of the.concert has been changed from Tuesday evening, May 29 to June 1, Friday evening, to ac- commodate the merchants in town ‘who-'will kesp their place of business open on:Tuesday night. 5 OUT AGAINST McOABE. . \ It was reported -in the fifth ward this Worning: that Mathew ‘Kotowskl of Orange stfest is to be a candidate against Alderman William J. McCabe for the republican nomination for alderman. Paul Nurzcak, the demo- cratic candidate, is reported as mak- ing a spirited campaign. “From two cities come the reports of the formation of semi-private or- sanizations that . are arming for spécial duty. They plan to be in readiness to be swarn as canstables or special police in case of local troubls, the men to be armed with revolvers. The-ordinary status of such bodies is in considerable doubt. Of course they 'would not come under thé description of legal defenders so provided in in- ternational law. i reason given for such or- tion is that the promoters de- sire to make sure that their town and factiries’ shall not be robbed or de- fense in case of an emergency which might call the Home Guards outfit to another town. In other weords, they adopt for their individual town the very principle which the governor and the legisiature adopted for the state relative to the Nationgl Guard. “At Home Guard headquarters, to- day, it was sald that this reveals a serious . misapprehensien of the- plan for the guard.” Headquarters has constantly in mind possible tricks by a very clever foe. Ome such trick 'would be to start trouble by fire, ex- plosion of disorder in one community store |in order to draw, away troops from another comm and then bring disaster on the unprotected com- munity. It is clear, then, that there 'would be little sending of traops from thei® home town :unless the emergency called for everything and everybody. “Of course a “home town" is best protected by a ntingent of the guard, properly officered, uniformed, drilled and armed and under the di- and {rect orders of the governor and his officers. ' Extra aid by the private body is all right, but no town can be provided for as it should be by that alone. Headquarters believe that that must be obvious to any one who gives thought to possibilities. Rifie Club Organized Last Fall. It was last September or October that the New Britain Rifie club was! formed under the National Rifle assor ciation. Members enrolled at that time :Q-nd have been enrolling up to date. At the meeting of the common council in February Mayor Quigley ad- dressed the members, explaining the need of additional deputies in case of trouble. He then asked for permis- sion to purchase 150 deputy police badges and it was accorded him with- out a single dissenting vote. These badges are being made now by the Traut & Hine Manufacturing company. Al this preliminary action took place before the Home Guard move Was started and the plans for the military company were formulgted at the same time. The mayor stated this morn- ing that possibly the term “military” as applied to the Rifle club company, insofar as it is officially connected with the city, is a misnomer. It will not be a military company in the sense of Peing an armed force to repel a na- tional enemy. It will be strictly an auxiliary police force to protect ‘the elty alene. It would be called into service only in case the police de- partment, the supernumeraries and others could not handle any situation. The military aspect of the company is private entirely. The members desire some military| training and will be given driils. That is the plan, pure and simple, the mayor stated. As for embarrassing the National Guard or Home Guard, the mayor ven- tured the opinion that in case of hos- tilitiew he has no doubt that the ranks of the unofficial military company would be materially thinned by mem- bers enfisting in the service of state or _country. ’ Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock the ‘members of the New Britain City Guard and all others of the public who are interested in' the move are urged to attend a meeting In the state armory. Men will be measured for uniforms and equipment and fur- ther enlistinents will be made. It .is ted that this meeting will be at- tended by seversl hundred men and .
