As the story was told, Kilgerman was coming from New Britain and came down Damon’s hill at a fast rate of speed and many local people who saw him claim he turned the Boston post corner on two wheels. A state motoreycle policeman followed him. in court last night, the policeman as- serted that it was necessary for him to go at a rate of.68 miles an hour to capture the speed:ier and he wouldn't { have dope it if Kilgerman had not had to slow up for a standing trolley car in front of the court house.

Case of Michael Christ. The case of Michael Christ was the next on the stand. Christ was arrest- ed in New Britain on noon by the police of that city on a warrant issued by the local authori- ties charging him with cruelty to ani- mals. It is claimed that Christ had a horse ut the time he was living in Berlin and did rs* cive it proper care The horse became sick and even at this time was not treated as it should have been. As a result it died and | was later said to have been left in a brook which flowed at the rear of Christ's home. that Christ had several pigs died, due to improper treatment. They were also placed in this brook, and consequently were a nuisance to the health of nearby neighbors.
