The troop has been in existence for about four years under the super- vision ‘of the New Britain execytive. The faet that the troop was under New Britain jurisdiction gave the bove greater facilities for amusement and for mental, bodily and spiritual welfare on account of the advantages offered to them at the New Britain headquarters. The boys are under the supervision of Scoutmaster Mer- tom J. Lamb, who accepted the posi- ‘tion a few weeks age. They have rooms in Grange hall where they hotd their meetings, but have no facilities for social or athletic enterprises.

The fruit growers expect, it is said, that only a few trees will bear any fruit in 1920. The cold weather ruined the buds and many of the trees’ are' entirely destroyed. There will be no crop to satisfy the'demands in commercia] business. Senator Eli- jah Rogers of Southington, who has a peach orchard on the East moun- tain, is one of the largest peach growers in this section of the state. This is not the only part of the state which suffered from the unusu- ally cold winter reports of the ruin of peach 2rops coming from all parts of the state. At the rccent meeting in ! Hartford of peach growersare reports from all parts of Connecticut were | similar, being to the effect that the state growers would net be able to enter the market this year .as -they will have 1o crops.

New Haven, Feb. 23.—The trial of William Jones on.the charge of mur- dering Mrs. Esther Hopcroft on June 19 last is scheduled to come at the present term of the criminal side of the superior court, presided over by Judge Gardiner Greene. This case will follow the trial of Antonio Valen- tino, which has been before the court for a week and which will be resumed tomorrow. The Valentino trial will probably last all this week and may not come to a conclusion before early next wegk. Jones, it will be remembered. was held criminally responsible for the death of Mrs. Hopcroft, a woman 63 vears old, who was found dead in her room in a barn in the rear of 83 Dick erman streef. She was found stran gled on the morning of June 21 las and had been last seen alive two nights before. The barn where the tragedy came is a two story affair, the lower floor of which was being used as a garage and part of the upper floor as living apartment by Mrs. Hop- croft. It was owned by Mrs. Mary Elis of 83 Dickerman street. Two men used the space below to store cars, one of whom was Jones. When the death of Mrs. Hopcroft was discovered each of these men was examined and after a day or so Jones was locked up in the county jail upon orders of the coroner and he has not since been at liberty. Indicted Last July. Coroner Eli Mix made an extensive examination of many witnesses and pursued a vigorous and long investi- gation and his finding, which held Jones responsible, was lowed ,by a grand jury indictment early in July. After the grand jury preseptment Jones secured counseél and began to prepare to defend him- self against the murder charge. After the discovery of the crime in the Dickerman strest barn many tales concerning the affair were noised about. some of them .includ- ing the most shocking details, but these later were proven to be un- true through official findings. Great interest was aroused eover the case quickly fol- | and much was printed about it Y and elsewhere. Since his incarceration county jail Jones has provel model prisoner and heads the fare body there. He appears chi ful, the atlendants there say. seemingly rests assured that his nocence will be proven. Great Police Activity. This case was subject to great 1a { on the part of the police and de ptives who followed up an almest o r!e&s number of “clues” furnished persons who thought they *f something’” on some one.
