An excellent memory for faces re- sulted in the appearance of Harry L. Livinstone and Robert L. Murphy in police court before Judge James T. Meskill this morning on the charges of obtaining money under false pre- tenses and theft. Livinstone and Murphy visited George L. Damon’s shoe store November 10, last, and flim-flammed Miss O'Brien, the cashier, out of $10. Yesterday she saw the two men ‘on the street and called the attention of Traffic Supervisor L phere to them. He made the arre and in court today ILivinstone v fined $25 for theft. Murphy was dis- charged. The prosecution of the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses fell. Judge W. . Mangan was counsel for the accused. Miss O'Brien testified that on the Saturday night in question the ac- cused, who had been noticed in front of the store, entered and purchased two pairs of ‘ladies’ shoe laces. Liv- instone gave a $20 bill in payment. He remarked that he thought he had more money, but couldn’t find it at the time. While Misg O'Brien was counting the money he found 50 cents. Miss O'Brien was ready to use the smaller sum but Livinstone would have the bill hbroken. Then he changed his mind and decided he would have the $10 bill changed also. ‘He had po-keted the smaller change. Livinstone confuzed Miss O'Brien and he walked out .. ith $10 belonging to the store. All this time Murphy s at the other end of the store. Kieley testified that she had on Livinstone and, having a that there was something unus about the pair she warned Mrs. waited Fogarty recognized the pris- the ones who were in the James T. O'Connor gave corroborative testimony. The only cvidence against Murphy was that when Livinstone completed his tran- tion he remarked to Murphy “all right” and both hurried out of the store.

STANLEY'S WILL | Gity to Get Estate IT Daughte Has No Children 'MAY TOTAL ABOUT $400,000 Tifte Use of Estate is Given and Daughter, But If Latter I Without Issuc City Gets for Walnut Hill Park, Indications are that the will of the { late Charles B. Stanley, secretary and of the Stanley Rule and Level Co.,, who died on April 20, will be strongly contested by relatives of | the testators. The will is of more than passing interest to the city of New Britain inasmuch as in it Mr. Stanley provided that his wife shall | have the life use of the estate and {at her death his daughter, Mrs, Ruth | Stanley Bates, shall have it during her lifetime, but if she dies without leaving children or issue of children the entire estate will revert to the ity of New Britain to be used for the care and maintenance of Walnut | Hill park. Although the estate has | not been inventoried, it is roughly es- timated that it will aggregate between : $300,000 and $400,000. Life Use Left to Wife. Mr. Stanley's will was drafted in April 1916, and later three codicils were attached. After providing for the payment of all debts and funeral expenses, the will bequeaths all house- hold furniture and personal effects to Mr. Stanley’'s wife, Mrs. Bllena D. Stanley. The rest of the estate is left in trust to the Connecticut Trust and | Safe Despoit company of Hartford to manage as directed in the other para- will. Provision | | | | treasurer is also Stanle graphs of the made that long Mr: lives the trustee of the e | to her the remaining net lall the income from his estate Another paragraph adds that if, ing any vear, the income from ate shall be less than $7,000 rustee 1l have power to draw from the principal such sum as the trustee and judge of probate shall consider ncessary to bring the total up to $7,000. Continuing, Mr. Stanley's will directs that at the death of his wife alt the income from estate sholl g0 to his daughter, Mrs. Ruth Stan- ley Bates, during her lifetime, but she shall not have the power “of an- ticipation, or selling, or pledging or | assigning the income.” Upon the death of the testator's daughter the will orders that the estate shall go to | her child or children, suc of her body,” share and share alike. Fur- thermore it expressly states that “‘the word ‘child or children’ herein used, shall not be so construed as to include { any child or children by adoption, and f there be any adopted child or chil- dren, 1 exclude, preclude and bar such adopted child or children from receiving or inheriting any part: or | share of my estate. Would Affect New Britain, Another important paragraph In Mr. Stanley’s will is the one in which provision is made this if his daughter dies without Jeaving a child or children or issue of any deceased child, then at her death “I direct that said part or share * * * be still held intrust by the said trustee and the income thereof be paid in perpetuity for the care, up-keep and maintenance of Walnut Hill park, so-called, in the city of New Britain, said income to be paid to the board commission or authority having the charge of the care of said park.” Again provision i a as income dur- the his made that if Mrs. Ruth Stanley Bate: hall have died before the testator's wife, leaving children or issue of deceased children, then such child or issue shall receive “equally per stirpes all the incomes and principal which would have been paid to any daughter if living.” the same paragraph the will directs that if the daughter dies without is- sue befare Mr. Stanley’s wife then the net income of the estate shall, at the death of Mrs. Stanley revert to the city as previously provided. Directions are also given that the trustee invest not more than $5,000 in any one sccurity and permi given to sell any stock ti advisable. The trustee given authority to exercise judgment in tho sale or transfer of real estate or pe sonal property and the recommenda- tion is made that the income from such sales be invested in mortgages or corporate or municipal bonds of | high grade but not more than $5,000 be put in any one securty. Hearing Next Friday. A hearing on the will is scheduled to be held in the probate court here next Friday. Tt is understood that ilhc will may be contested and it is likewise hinted that Mr, Bates, son- in-law of the testator, is instrumental in questioning the will.

Hartford, May 4.—As a penalty for overcharging on sugar deliveries ind in lieu of attempting to make re- funds to the trade affected, Blake & Backes, sugar brokers in this city ave been ordered to pay $1,000 to the American Red Cross. This infor- wation, coming from Washington, was confirmed by inquiry at the headquarters in this city of the fed- eral food administration for Connec- ticut. It appears that the violations of the administration’s sugar regula- tions extended over several months and the $1,000 penalty well covers the total ~ profiteering by Blake & | Backes, who are the largest sugar in the state. It was pointed out at the food administra- { tion offices that Joseph Reiter, a | Prooklyn sugar wholesaler, was re- | cently compelled to donate $1,842 to | the Red Cross as the equivalent of his excessive profits from charging 317 per 1,000 pounds of sugar. Both these concerns will be permitted to continue in business provided they hereafter conform strictly to the ad- c ministration’s rules and regulations, [ T:P2 T’qu, Bridgeport, Conn.; Pri- Turther violation of -which, however, | vates Kenneth M.

Stanberry, Highland Park, vocation of their licenses. Mich. In explaining the details of violations, it was said Blake & Packes were notified, April 15, by Kobert Scoville, federal food admin- isirator for Connecticut, that the en- forcement division of the food ad- ministration at Washington felt that some penalty should be imposed for violations and that in view of the ap- pzrent impossibility of a separate re- fund being made to every individual sugar consumer who had been over- charged, it was ruled that $1,000 be contributed to the Red Cross, this amount being based on the excessive charges since January 1, during a period when the administration’s reg- ulations governing sugar distribution were widely known. The specific charges firm appear to be that it charged more than twenty-five cents profit per hundred pounds plus the freight. Three Washington divisions of the food administration, the sugar, d tribution and enforcement felt that for some time Blake & Backes had heen injuring the sugar business in this section and insisted upon the rule that twenty-fivo cents be the gross profits over the refiner's list price, plus freight to ‘the buyer’s market. This twenty-five cents in- cludes cartage both to the buyer's wurehouse and to the retail dealer, except in cases, where, before the war, it was customary to charge re- tailers cartage. This drayage charge i« seldom allowed and is always very carefully scrutinized by the food ad- wministration. Tt was explained today that Blake & Backes promptly stopped such | charges when notified weeks ago by {he food administration that the were violations of the regulation Another factor in favor of Blake & Tackes was that during the sugar shortage they did everything possible to effect an equitable distribution.
