J.. 28, 1921, Rumson, Feb. New Britain Herald On reading the New Britain news of Feb. 26th of the death of Leonard Belden, 81, 1t my memory of the murder of Frank Cad- well in the winter of 1863 for which Cha "~ Gilbert served a life sentence in \ 1ersfield prison. Cadwell was a subwritute broker (quite a business I at that time) and carried a good deal | of money as the price of substitution | was anywhere from $100 to $1,000, !according to the customer. On the evening of the murder Cadwell met the Gilbert party including father and 'brother and others in a bar-room in ! the basement of the Strickland house (Now Bronson, owned at that time by | Newt Hulbert, (late selectman).

To shorten the walk to the house, they cut across lots from North and Judd's shop, between the Home lot and Swamp lot. There was a fence to cross. It was at this fence the deed was done by some sharp tool, probably a hatchet, (it was never found). He had a gash in his head which must have killed him instant- FAT MORE FISH And Save Moncy on Your Meals A\g Theso Prices: Splendid Shore Haddock Nice Long Island Flounders Splendid Fat Blue Fish (whole fish) Scrod Steak Bluo Fish Steak Rockport Cod .

New Britain, Conn., Feb. 28, 19 Herald: The New Britain Gentlemen: We read with much interest, some indignation. and considerable per- plexity the letter signed “A Taxpayer’ in your edition of February 22d. After consideration, we have reached the conclusion that its writer seriously misunderstands some phases of the school situation, and that he will be glad to read a reply to his criticisms {from the point of view of a teacher lin your schools. In regard to the matter of vaca- | tions: We feel quite sure that no de- | ception of the public is intended, and | still more certain that ! be practiced, in view of the number gf families who send children daily to the schools. The taxpayers surely understand, or salaries are voted for a school vear of approximately 180 days, this mat- ter being regulated by state law. (This particular school year in New Britain is, we believe, 195 days). Wherever school is suspended (in this instance for five days, not for ten) the days are merely added to the end of the year. The majority of teachers pre- fer teaching in March to late June, but it is felt that better resuilts are obtained from the pupils if sustained effort for forty hours per week is not continued over long. unbroken perifods. When a teacher Is absent for so much as a half day from her class-room, for reasons other | her own illness, her salary is deduct- | ed for that absence on that “hourly ! basis” which your correspondent de- mands; this is a condition which | exists in no other salaried profession. ‘ Does this taxpayer realize the con- | ditions under which a teacher lives iin a city llke New Britain?

KNOW HIM? John A. audrews, of the Andrewn Furniture store posed for the silhouette which we printed last evening, a fact which 27 people realized in short order, short enough to allow them to get their slips of paper with his name upon it into the Herald office before an early hour today. Adolph G. Olson, of 275 Maple street was the first of the 27 and he will receive the dollar which the Herald offers as a prize to the per- son first guessing the identity of the owner of the silhouette which we pub- lish each evening. Those who guessed correctly on last evening’s silhouette, up to this morning were Thomas Conway, William Linne, L. ‘Goff, lsadore Koplowitz, Gertrude Anderson, L. A.
