Meskill in police court to- day. Appesring as counsel for the accused, Senator Edward W. Broder ‘of Hartford conducted a spirited and stubborn defense, subjected witnesses to a grilling cross-examination and engaged in several tilts_over legal points with Assistant Prosecuting At- torney J\’oaeph G. Woods. Bonds for an appeal were fixed at $150. ‘Walking with difficulty on crutches and explaining that surgeons say it will be about two months more be- fore his fractured ankles knit suf- ficlently for him to walk unaided, Samuel Applebaum of 23 Olive street, victim of the collision, gave a version of his experience that was unshaken under the close cross examination of Senator Broder. The frequent con- tinuances In the case have been oc- casioned by his inability to appear in court and testify. According to testimony, Applebaum was proceeding in a westerly direction ! with his automobile when the deliv- ery truck, in charge of the accuse approached from an opposite dire tion. At a sharp curve, he testified, the bakery truck grazed his machine in such a way as to cause it to turn turtle, throwing him out and caus- dition to numerous abrasions and gen- eral shock. He testified that, as the collision took place, he called for aid but that the accused kept on his ‘way without stopping to ascertain the amount of damage resulting. But for residents of that neighborhood, hearing the shouts and coming to his assistance, Applebaum testified, re- sults would nndoubtedly have bun ! much more serious for him. The defense entered testimony that the delivery truck was subjected to a rigid scrutiny upon its return to Hartford but no marks of a collision could be located. In itmposing sen- tence, Judge Meskill said that it was OIL 1 Somethmg leferent ina Talk on By an establishment Clothing that has been for thirty-four years a leader in catering to the apparel wants of ‘the men of Hartford and icinity.

Coat canvas, alpaca and silk were also purchased in targe quantities at the then low prices. o L G390 ASYLUMSL Connecting Wik 140 TNUMBUAL 3B Waiving examination through' At- torney A. W. Upson, Mrs. Ella Doug- las, wife of Willlam Douglas, a trave- ling salesman of 40 Wesleyan avenue, Boston, said to be connected .with a prominent Massachusetts family, was bound over to the June term of su- perior court charged with misconduct with Willlam Relyea, contractor and builder of New Haven and Hartford. Accompanied by her husband and At- torney Upson, an attractively gowned figure, she sat in the court room until formal action was over and then hurriedly left. Her age is given as 37 on the court records and, when originally arrested May 5 at the Hotel Beloin, she gave her address as 222 ‘Washington street, Hartford. Her Boston address and family connec- tions were afterwards ascertained. Continuance from the original ar- raignment was directed in order that her husbasd might be located and notified of his wife’s plight. Because of the illness of Judge Willlam F. Mangan, counsel for Rel- yea in the case, his arraignment was continued for a week. Relyea was in court but made no statement and was not formally arraigned. Attorney Elas T- Ringrose represented Judge /Mangan, in the case and asked for a {continusnce: of .two weeks.

Attorney Ringrose then agreed to the continuance of ona week. Bonds were continued at $700 each. Relyea and Mrs. Douglas were ar- rested at the Hotel Beloin after the former had made complaint to the police that his fair companion had abstracted $90 from one of his trous- er pockets. This she denied and both pleaded not guilty at the first ar- raignment. The authorities claim that the two registered as man and wife and that appearances and ad- missions were sufficiently damaging 'to warrant the misconduct charges. Bartender Helps Himself. Upon the request of - Attorney M. D. Saxe, the hearing of theft charges against' Bernard Anolovieswisy of 34 Orange street, bartender in the Dawson block saloon on Main street, was continued until Tuesday. Lasislaw Askawavich, complainant in the inci- dent that resulted in arrest, states that he and three others went into the saloon and had three beers and three eggs, the bill amounting to 30 cents. In payment, he states, a $10 bill was given, out of which change amounting to $9.20 was re- celved. According to the complaint, the accused, when his attention was called to the change and bill, reached over and took four §0-cent pieces out of the money on the bar and put them in his pocket without going near the cash register. An argument followed which resulted in Policeman Michael Massey being called into the case. All implicated were taken to police head- quarters where, after hearing argu- ments pro and con, Captain Thomas ‘W. Grace ordered the arrest of Ano- lovieswisy. According to the police, he showed signs of liquor and made an alleged confession that he took the fifty cent pisces. Charged with ‘assault upon a fel- low employe relative to wheéther a waste box should be in one place or another, Alexander Schneider of 53 Linden street, a foreman at the Lan- ders, Frary & Clark plant, was fined $3. Judge Meskill charactered the assault as one without serious con- sequences. The accused, at first claimed an appeal and bonds were fixed at $100. Later, he decided to defer such action and paid the fine. Not only was James Scully of 92 Hart street much intoxicated on Hartford avenue yesterday but he got his head wedged through a fence in such a manner as to be helpless and cause wonderment of passersby- Traf- fic Supervisor Clarence Lamphere and Policeman James Skelly had the same ‘wonderment as they approached in Tesponse to complaints. With aif- culty they extricated €kully from his plight. Today he pleaded hard for leniency but was informed that he had been in court Tuesday on a like charge and had made the same plea. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed with warning that another appear- ance within six months will mean & Jail term. —_—— Confirmation - Photos at reduced prices.

On Saturday, June 2, there will take place, in this city, an affair which has the strongest kind of an appeal to the sympathy and support of every citi- sen. With characteristic generosity and & fine fraternal spirit the Elks of Now Britain have given the use of their home on Washington street and in those spacious reoms the civic de- partment of the Woman's club will hold a big comnrunity card party and the proceeds will be given to the New Britain chapter of the American Red Cross for the purpese of carrying on its local war relief work. The association of the Red Cross had its origin in an attempt to miti- gate the horrors of war by becom- ing an arm of the military service and applying the principles of hu. manity through o s and a trained staff. It has fulfilled the pur- pose of its origin ina comprehensive and all embracing manner. The Red Cross has attained more than recog- nition- It has gone far beyond the need of praise. Thé Red Cross is one of the most solemn facts on earth today—solemn because of the war which has made its service so neces- sary. This war has given women their opportunity to serve which they have not been slow to seize, and in no sphere of usefulness has this been more pronounced than in Red Cross work—helping to solve the problem of saving all that is possible to save from the human wreckage of the war. The civic department of the Wom- an’s club has recognized its opportun- ity to serve in this great work and the committee in charge of the card party is working very hard to make it a success. A most cordial invitation s ex- tended to everyone in the city to co-operate with them by attending the party and so insuring its success. ‘There will be plenty of tables for cards and any games may be played- There will be an opportunity for every one to help the cause and to spend a pleasant afternoon while doing so. ‘The civic card party will be a fitting and a pleasing climax to the big mem- bership campaign and one of the pleasing features will be the an- nouncement of the result of the big campaign which will be made there during the afternoon. This will in- terest everybody and everybody should be there to hear the resuilt. The chalrman of this affair is Her-, bert L. Mills and the ccmlttou are as follows: Tickets—Mrs. Ira E. Hicks, Mrs. Rufus F. Hemenway, Miss Annie Cop- ley. Flowers—Mrs. Andrew J. Sloper, Mrs. Robert N. Peck, Mrs. Harold T. Sloper, Mrs. Kenneth Sloper. Refreshments—Mrs. Isaac D. Rus- sell, Mrs. James H. Robinson. Publicity—Mrs. John E. Martin. Favors—Mrs. George 8- Talcott. Tables—Mrs. Frank J. Porter. SPELLACY TO SPEAK HERE New Britain Lodge, B. P. O. E, Se- cured U. S.

E., as the principal speaker at the anmn.l Flag Day exer- cises on June 14. It was originally intended to hold a public observance but this plan was found to be impracticable and the exercises will be restricted to members of the lodge and invited guests, among whom will be members ot Stanley Post, Grand Army of the Republic The veterans were the guests of the lodge at the exercises last year and the affair was enjoyable for all concerned- The announcement that Mr. Spel- lacy will speak assures the lodge of one of the most successful observances in its history.
