Wheeler, 75, Walks From ‘Waterbury—Is Naval Veteran of following < i the Civil War. r George R. Wheeler, better known as “Cap,” a globe trotter and adven- turer of world renown and one of the seven living members of the crew of the United States battleship Kear- sarge when it successfully engaged and. sunk the Confederate privateer Alabama off the coast of France dur- ing the Civil war, passed through d | this place this morning en route for his old home in South Framingham, Mass. Tht sailor is now 75 years of age, but is strong and robust and takes great pride in his remarkable physical endurance, It is as a pedestrian that *Cap” Wheeler excells and he had with him authentic statements from practically every country on the face of the globe through which he has walked during the past 30 years. He has just re- turned to America and says that in times of war it seems good to be back again in the U. S. A, “Capt.” i Wheeler arrived in New Britain at :30 o’clock this morning after hav- jins walked here from Waterbury, { which city he left at 3. From here he i started for Hartford. The record of the old sea man is t. {an interesting one. He enlisted in the United States Navy at an early age and served throughout the Civil war, He was in many important en- gagements betwten Confederate blockade runners and Union . boats and was later assigned as a member of the crew of the battleship Kear- sarge to which was assigned the task of running down the Confederate boat Alabama fitted out by England h game between the Bartlett and | for the cause of the Confederacy. school grounds. ays the Smith © team and the Smalley f Wednesday. ground teams at the On Wednesday the East grounds and on Thursday the the Burritt teams while it street team battles with the “team at the Bartlett grounds, veekly athletic meets also be- the at the grounds, Events for Vividly the old man recalls the sum- mer day in 1864 when the Kearsage located the Alabama in the French port of Cherbourg and later gave battle outside the three mile limit.

ICKINSON "FAITHFUL WIFE AID T0 ERRING SPOUSE Reluctant to Testify Against Him and Helps Raise Bond \ Devotion of a wife for the one who, although alleged to have erred in | later years, once accompanied her to the altar, made protestations of love and assured her of fidelity during re- maining years, was graphically trated in connection with police court session when Thomas Toney of 8 Franklin street was reluctant to testify against her husband, accused of misconduct with Mrs, Julia Schaefer of 8 Stanley street, and, afterwards, bent efforts’ to the greatest extent in raising bonds of $700 for his freedom under the Sep- tember term of superior caurt in Hartford. She had been unsuccessful, at a late hour, in raising the required bonds. Both of the accused, held under probable cause by a ruling of Judge James T. Meskill, were bound over to superior court arraignment under bonds of $700 each. Their ar- rest in an attic room of the apar ments occupied by Mr, and Mrs. Toney followed a sensational raid late Sat- urday night by Sergeant George J. Kelly and Policeman Michael Meehan, during which procedure the door of a locked attic room was broken down. Toney was represented by Judge Wi liam F. Mangan, who offered prac- tically no evidence in defense of the allegations with the exception of not guilty pleas. 1t was testified the two have been intimate for some time, Mrs., Toney alleging the woman implicated has seemingly been a siren for her hus- band, has handled him according to her desires and been responsible for the breaking up of a once happy home, Several times, it was testified, Mrs. Toney has complained to Chief William J. Rawlings and other police officials relative to the alleged conduct of the two ‘platonic lovers.” She was asked to make complaint at a time when proper evidence could be secured. The time, she felt, came Saturday night when, according to her testimony, she saw her husband go from the living rooms of their apart- ments to an attic room and lock the door. Policeman Meehan was notified and communicated with headquarters and Sergeant Kelly. About 10 minutes later the raid took place with the breaking down of the door and ar- rests. Through.Judge Mangan, Toney entered a formal plea of not guilty. Mrs. Schaefer expressed ignorance is to proper method of plea, although entering no denial of intimacy with Toney and being found in the attic room at his home during the time in question. Once Reported to Have Left City The state allesed Mr. and Mrs. Toney have lived far apart from har- mony, domestically, for some time, the former having been accused some time ago of having left the city with Mrs. Schaefer, who, it was testified, seemed to be his affinity or “Platonic friend.” It was alleged the woman took considerable money at the time, held in a joint akcount with herself and her husband. Stylishly dressed and attractive in appearance, Mrs. Schaefer appeared in marked contrast to Mrs, Toney, who clearly showed the care-worn ex- pression often indicated on the faces of those undergoing domestic tribula- tions. Mrs. Tooney, in" her prior com- plaints to the authorities and on the witness stand today, indicated little personsal bitterness towards her hus- band but indicated her belief his al- leged paramour was responsible for departure from any conventional do- mestic paths, Sergeant Kelly testified relative to his visit to the Franklin 'street ad- dress. Policeman Meehan supported his superior's relation of conditions found while Charles Schaefer, hus- band of the accused woman, and Mrs. Toney, wife of the accused man tes- tified in a damaging manner. Mrs. Toney testified she was present when her husband took the accused woman to the attic, remonstrated, as she has often done before, and was informed “if you don’t like it, you can leave the house.” Patience, as a virtue, ended, the testimony being she still loved Toney but was determined to break up his intimacy with Mrs. Schaefer. Policemen on the beat had been “in- formed to watch the premises, follow- ing prior complaints by Mrs. Toney, this resulting in Policemen being within call and orders from head- quarters being imperative as to ag gressive methods being used in the arrest of the two accused. Sailor on Rampage. Wearing the blue of Uncle Sam’s “sea soldiers,” Henry Ruskiewicz, un- til his enlistment a resident of 225 High street, where his parents now live, was fined $13 and costs for in- toxication and injury to private prop- erty Saturday night while on a ram- page, it was testified, due to the re- sults of ill-advised use of liquor. He was arrested by Patrol attendant Gustay Hellberg and Supernumerary Policeman Edward M. Kiely. It was testified he broke a window and oth- erwise conducted himself improperly. The accused told a strange tale of having been approached by a man showing an alleged Secret Service badge and later being laid out by an unidentified man leading a crowd of men armed with black jac! other deadly weapons. ‘He s was “knocked out cold” by the men, remained so for a time and then, upon recovery, went on BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes | Indigestion.

Policemen testified he was mainly un- der the influence of John Barleycorn and there was no indications of evi- dence to substantiate his wild state- ments. Beat Wife With Strap. Because, as he testified, his wife, Helen, struck him over the head with a beer bottle as a diversion while friends were being entertained Wlad- islaw Novetka of 212 Hartford ave- nue used a strap on the one he once promised to protect and support, said use of strap allesed to have resulted in numerous flesh discolorations. Mrs. Novetka testified he has previously treated her in this manner but not in a manner so pronounced as to give her cause for complaint. Be- cause of lack of previous record of misconduct, the accused was placed in charge of Probation Officer Edward C. Connolly for an attempt to adjust the domestic differences. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods did not oppose the motion. Thomas McDonnell was fined $3 and costs for breach of the -peace, it being testified by Sergeant Theodore Johnson the accused was responsible for a disturbance on Main street. Severin Stabbe of 132 Whiting street, arrested by Policeman John L. Carlson for assault upon Edward Klernan of Bassett street, was fined $3 with costs. An argument over ice caused the differences, ‘Without Motor License, William Yourkewitch of 14 Beatty street was fined $3 without costs for failure to have his motor vehicle operator’s license with him when stopped by Paliceman Patrick Howley on Lafayette street Satufday night, Policeman Howley and Captain T, W. Grace testified the accused had no license with him following an automo- bile mishap of minor consequences and contended he had left it in his other clothes when making a hurried change. Later he testified he found it in a hip pocket of his trausers. Michael Lery was fined $7 and costs for making much trouble at his former boarding house on Washing- ton street, It was testified he had heen summarily ordered out of the place some time ago, allegations being he owed some money when he left. Saturday night, it was testified, he met a former companion roomer at the place, the latter explained he was “rushing the growler” and invited the accused to participate in the resultant joy. But joy was taken out of life for the two, at least Lery, it was testified, when the landlady met the two at the front door and emphatically denied entrance for Lery. It was testified he treated his former landlady in a way no woman wants to be treated. At- torney Kendall Pierce of Bristol ap- peared for the accused and conducted a searching cross examination of wit- nesses,. there being a number of legal tilts between him and Prosecuting Attorney Woods relative to the accept- ance of certain evidence, especially as to reputation of the landlady being of a trouble-making disposition, Auto Case Continued. Upon the request of Attorney A. A. Greenberg, who expressed a desire to secure the attendance of alleged es- sential witnesses, charges against Harry Ginsburg of having recklessly operated an automobile on Stanley Quarter thoroughfares last week, were continued for introduction of evidence Wednesday. M. P. Leghorn, Main street jeweler, is the principal complainant, the contention being Ginsburg endangered the safely of the Leghorn automobile and party by reckless ‘operation of his machine. In his complaint to the police, Leg- horn contended Ginshurg was run- ning as high as 60 miles an hour. ldentity of the operator was not known at the time of the trouble, the license number being taken from the markers and subjected to investiga- tion. Summons for Ginsburg’s ap- ‘pearance in court followed. After being subjected to a severe reprimand from Judge Meskill and informed it is the better policy to obey the mandates of a policeman, when told to move on, Daniel Gor- man of 33 Lawlor street was allowed to go under a suspended judgment, following arraignment on technical breach of the peace charges. Police- man William Strolls testified he or- dered several young men to move along and cease obstructing the side- walk Saturday night with all but the accused obeying the mandate. Even then, it was testified, there would have been no arrest had not the ac- cused made several remarks not in- cluded in Hoyle's guidance to proper public speech. The accused was pen- itent today and admitted he meant no offense, Sorry He Lost the Fourth. Supernumerary Policeman Michael Tlynn “broke into the big game'" Sat- { urday night when four started a “rough house” on Main street and needed his attention. With three of the men under arrest, the attention of Sergeant Theodore Johnson was attracted by the sound of swearing by the accused and loud verbal ob- jections. He went to Main and Commercial streets, assisting Police- man Flynn in getting his prisoners to headquarters. The latter's plaint was only he lost the ‘“fourth man and wanted to go back and get him.” He was assured a ‘catch” of three was a creditable record for a newly selected supernumerary and advised to let the fourth man go. Charged with breach of the peace, Andrew Germeila of 152 Kelsey street, Joseph Auks of 31 John street and Joseph Mies of 137 Kelsey street were fined $7 and costs each. Policeman Flynn received commendation from his su- periors for tackling a crowd of four unaided and getting three of the trouble makers to a box and checked until aid arrived. Even if he did consider it “old home week” for co-members of the Home Guard Saturday night in Main street, Thomas McDonald learned it is not permitted city sidewalks be blocked or “rough-housing” allowed, also that uniformed city palice possess authority in the absence of martial law. Arrested by Sergeant Theodore Johnson on Main street Saturday night for breach of the peace, he was fined $3 and costs. In his defense, he testified, he was imbued with en- thusiasm over meeting a fellow mem- ber of the Home Guard, slapped him on the back and otherwise acted in a manner that might be interpreted as baisterous. “I don’t mind how he treats me, if you can devise some means whereby I can get enough of his weekly pay envelope contents to meet household expenses,” pitifully pleaded Mrs. Wil- ilam Boronski of 223 High street as she appeared as the leading witness against her husband, accused by her of having assaulted her. She qon- tended the accused was good in every way, except when under the influence af liquor, that she does not mind his rough treatment and only wants some- thing devised to stop his use of liquor. Three months under the supervision of Probation Officer Connolly were ordered as judgment. Explaining they have an oppor- tunity to ga to work in good positions, Wiladislaw Stanfansicki, formerly of Beaver street, and Joseph Dichowski of Bristol were allowed to go under suspended sentence with advice to get work at once, Controversy as to whether a $2 or $20 bill was given at a purchase of food products last week at a Hartford avenue store in charge, it is alleged, of Mrs, Ethel Friedman of 86 Hart- ford avenue is to be taken wup for settlement July 21, Attornev M. D. saxe asking for the continuance in order to secure essential evidence. Mrs. Josephine Martisa, a resident of that nelghborhood contends she visited the store to buy food product gave a $20 bill for the purchase, re- ceived change for a $2 bill a refusal to rectify the alleged mistake.
