Herman, Winsted lawyer, ! who is charged with perjury, was re- sumed in the superior court here to- day before Judge Avery. ' Frank C. Stoddard, who is servinz | a sentence in Wethersfield on his own confession of perjury, was the first witness having been called to the| stand for a continuation of cross- examination by Leonard J. Nickerson, | counsel for Mr. Herman, Stoddard agreed that the principal question in- volved in the civil suit against hlm-' self and Barnes was whether the timber had been purchased from Mrs. Wood for & lump sum of $1,000 or for $8 a thousand feet. He was ques- tioned at length In regard to testi- mony given by himself and others in the civil action heard before Judge Haines and particularly bearing on alleged conversations Stoddard was #aid to have had with several persons who testified at the previous rial, in which Stoddard was declared to have told them he purchased the timber at $8 a thousand feet, and all of which Stoddard had denied. Further testimony was introduced concerning the payment of a check of $1,000 to Andrew J. Welch for payment of timber. Stoddard said the check was in full payment for the timber and wheh Barnes gave the check to Welch he told him it was paid, Weloh agreed to this in the presence of Stoddard. Frederick A. Curtiss of Hartford, | a teacher in the Normal school, was called as a handwriting expert. He identified the check a8 the one he had testified to in the civil action, and was of the opinion he had then given the words “in full for timber” had not been written at the time the check was prepared. Lucius P. Fuljer, assistant clerk ot the superior court, identified a photo. graphic copy of a receipt from .Mr. erman for the check given by Stod- dard to Welch which were in the files of the clerk. Judge Albert C. Bill, who said he had practiced Jaw for 35 years, was in the Brown school and | next called. He was asked by Mr. Alcorn if he had been called on by Barnes, and the admission of the question was immediately objected to by counsel for Herman. A wrangle on the admission of the question en- sued, the jury being excused white the question was being decided. Judge Avery excluded the question, the de- fense winning the point and Judge Bill was excused as a witness. ROTARIANS TO HEAR BOYS’ CLUB SPEAKER C. J.

J., March 30.— Joseph Trimineri, 22 years old, was found guilty by a jury tice Bergen in the Middlesex supreme court of the murder of Henry Kou- houpt, a farmer. The boy who was tried with his father, James, and his mother, Angelina, wax the only one convicted. The jury ignored a plea of his counsel for clemency. Bergen immediately e=ntenced boy to die in the electric chair. The Trimineris were accused of having murdered the farmer follow- ing a quarrel upon the objection Kouhoupt to the Trimineris digging ditches on their adjoining place, which Kouhoupt said would empty on his property. Joseph, testifying on Monday, assumed blame for the kill- ing, but said that he had shot in self-defense after Kouhoupt had emptied a pistol at him and had sought to strangle him. The self-de- fense version was corroborated by his mother and father. He received the verdict without a tremor. Mrs. Trimineri fainted and was carried from the court room, the ROB BANK OF $20,000 Bandits TFell Cashier and Teller and Escape Paul, St. March 30.—Five men en- tered the City .Bank of St. Paul yes- | terday afternoon, struck down the { cashier and a woman teller with the butts of their revolvers a with cash and boonds $20,000.

[ ln the house the committee on sales of land favorably reported on ‘!ho proposition to sell the farms in j East Granby acauired for a site for a tate prison. Adverse reports on to allow professional ®aseball and foothall on Sunday afternoons and of Representative (Mrs.) Hooker to allow classical music concerts Sun- day afternoon were accompanied by a statement that both these condi- tions will be provided for in an amendment to the present Sunday law. ~A Sunday bill also was rejected in the senate for the same reason. Four bills applying to telephone | service were unfavorably reported. and others the Dunn bill directory; providing that no toll rates between telephone subscribers in the same town should be charged; pro- viding that no charge other than rental should be made against tele- phone subscribers in the same town ing and distribution of telephone di- rectoriet, Petitioners for charters Congress Bank and Trust and the Lincoln Bank and Trust com- pany were given leave to withdraw, Senator Brooks saying that the state | would be better off if these were or- | ganized under the general law instead of through special charters. The humane institutions commit- tee recommended establishment of a state infirmary, in the central part of the state, under a corps of officers and employes, the money to be raised by a bond issue of $500,000. The bill was sent to the finance committee. Explaining the rejection of tele- phone bills, Mr. Buckley, in the house, i sald that the public utilities commis- sion is able to take care of griev- ances of subscribers. : Under another bill the governor will be empowered to appoimt state park police on recommendation of the state park commission. The judiciary committee reported unfavorably these bills: To require a seat for every passenger on a trol- fey car who pays fare; to repeal the present law on licensing of public amusements in parks which is now vested in Superintendent Egan of the | state police; for a method by which he state should control employment of private detectives. A standard cliniéal thermometet for the state was favored in a bill turned in from a committee. The education committee sent the | bills under which the state would get federal money for vocational training to the a.pnroprlamons committee. Indicative of the belief of the judiciary committee that the trolley- jitney situation would be met by the bill just adopted, a large number of duplicate Rills for regulation of jitneys were adverseély reported. Among other favorable reports were ( these: - Amending the law requiring a license to carry a weapon, making the | charge $1; to prohibit a city or town chasing as a pauper a person receiving state aid for tuberculosis; authorizing Hartford county to tke land for proper approaches to the bridge from South Windsor to Warehouse point; chang- | ing the law relating to appointment by | the governor of special officers to the | Humane Society appropriating $1,- 145,774 for the state school grant| | undes the cducational laws; requiring | display of signs where skim milk is sold; amending the law for the | which re- | quires hotels and inns to post notices { of their rates, and for a register of the blind. 0 | These were to require a state-wide ! and providing for regulation of print- | company | | York is to be dictator of dancing. - {*public without endangering their Here in _last heerd of fen Nated] ees at epart- isited posi- ird of many. hired until oly.
