As the house ! is about 150 years old and was in a dilapidated condition no attempt was made to save it. Instead, a hucket brigade was formed and the | houses were saved. The house was formerly occupied i by laborers at the Berlin brickyards. | Monday the family which has been residing at the house, moved out and, as far as is known, no one has been near the house since, the cause of the fire being a mystery.

The following communication has been received at the Herald office from ! Grand Juror A. H. Dresser who takes exception to an article which appeared | in Monday’s issue of the Herald and | which voiced comment of the action taken by the grand juror relative to his refusal to prosecute a court case | Sunday: | “To the Editor of the Herald: ! “I' se¢ by the statement in last night's (Monday's) Herald that Officer | Marino had to keep Patrick Dolan (Tierney) in the lockup over Sunday and this morning he was still there, due to the fact that the efforts of Offi- cer Marino to locate a grand juror who would prosecute the case were of no avail. “Officer Marino called on me yester- day afternoon to ask me if I would pfosecute a case this afternoon. I told him that I would not prosecute a case on Sunday but I would prose- cute any day in the week except on Sunday. T was ready to prosecute the case this morning if he had called on me. “‘Officer Marino could have seen me last evening or this morning as I live in his neighborhood. “I have held the office of justice of peace and also the office of grand juror for~several years before I was elected grand juror last October and | this was the first time that 1 was asked to prosecute on Sunday. ‘“There has been no justice court ! held on Sunday within the last two years in this. town. And court is not held on Sunday in Hartford, New Brit- ain, New Haven or other cities and towns in the state. “If the conditions of the lock-up are such that it is not fit.to keep a pris- oner in over Sunday it is time that the town officials should see that the lock-up is put in condition so that they can be kept over Sunday without holding court on that day. “Respectfully yours, “A. H. DRESSER, “Grand Juror.” Patrick Dolan, whose name was later discovered to.be Tierney, was taken into custody Saturday evening by Officer Marino. He was taken to the local lock-up to await trial on the charge of drunkenness. Sunday efforts were made by the oflicer to ccure a grand juror who would | rosecute the Grand Jurors Swillim and Wil were engaged | in business activities, according td¥ Constable Marino, and Grand Juror | Dresser refused to prosecute because it was Sunday. As a result Tierney was' kept in the lock-up over Sunday and was lib- erated Monday when a bondsman was secured. He was given a trial Mon- day evening before Judg A. H. Con- dell with S. S. Gwillim prosecuting. It developed during the trial that he was not a confirmed drunkard. Also it was learned that he was a work- ing man and plied his trade constant- | ly. ‘When it was learned Monday morn- ing that Grand Juror Dresser had re- | fused to prosecute the case on Sun- day thereby forcing the man to re- main within the confines of the lock- Uvp almost two days some comment was heard among the town people. It was stated that it was hardly human to keep a man charged with a minor oftense in the local lock-up for an unnccessary length of time owing to the obnoxious conditions which pre- vail in the basement of the town hall.

That the lock-up in its present con- dition is a disgrace to the town Plainville is the consensus of townspeople. ly admitted by anyofie who has had occasion to explore the basement of the town hall within the past few months. are being paid for by the town the conditions now prevalent both inside and outside of the steel cages are de- plorable. The old question of pro viding more adequate quarters is again being discussed. Inside one of the steel cages this morning were bottles, pails and other things which speak of anything but sanitation The blankets which are provided for those who fall into the meshes of the law were 1ttered around on the bunks and g off a nouseating odor as though they had rot been cleaned for months. Several citizens suggested that it nmight be a good idea for the health officer to make an investigation of the conditions which exist there. Town Clerk Usher expressed him- sclf this morning as being in favor of a new structure being erected vihich would serve only as a lock-up. He said that such a building could be s | erected on the south side of the town hall but separate from it. As things are now, anyone who wishes is at liberty to obtain access to the inner recesses of the town hall where the steel cages are placed. In other towns visitors are not allowed to enter the jails at random but first must obtain permission. Also the deors of the town hall are said to be left open night and day and cftizens claim that lights in the building have been allowed to burn all night. Shower Is Tendered. A shower was tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hartson last eve- ning by a large number of friends at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Mor- ley of 386 Park street. The affair was hold court on Sunday in towns throughout the state, cases have been | tried on the Sabbath day in this town. ! In fact, persons taken into custody | or. Saturday nights and charged with minor offenses, were, as a general rule, tried the following day. During the past few years Judge A H. Condell and Grand Juror S Gwillim have presided - over cases of this naturc. Both of thes nien agree that it is lamentable kcep a man charged with a minor violation of the law imprisoned ovei Sunday. This they state because the conditions at the lock-up are poor and have been for several years and it a workingman is arrested on:Sat- urday and tried on Sunday it gives him a chance to resume his labors Monday morning. There have been times when offend- | crs of the hobo type, who think the | world owes them a living, have been | token into custody on Saturday and kept in the lock-up until Monday be- pleting arrangements for an interest- ing program.
