Two Berlin cases of importance, will be heard at the March term of the superior court in Hartford. One is that of Klemens Kalkowski, who on February 4, took an appeal of his case when tried in the local court, and is out under bonds of $500. The other is the continued case of James Parctta and IKrasmo Cacca- vallo of Kensington. Both of these men were bound over to the Septem- her term .of the superior court on June 11, 1921 on an arson charge.

He was arrested by the lo- cal authorities in the first week of February following a raid on a resi- dence in the Blue Hills section of the tfown owned by Max Cohen of Meri- den. It was alleged that Kalkowski with another New Britain rented the house for the purpose of manufacturing liquor with intent to sell. His case came up before Judge Griswold on I"ebruary 4. He was found guiity on two counts and was fined $200 on both charges. Arson Case 'I'ne 'Kensington people are also in- {erested in the disposition of the l'aretta case inasmuch as he was found guilty on a charge of arson in the Berlin town court June 11, 1921. His case was continued from the September term of the superior court until the March term. 1t is alleged that Paretta set fire to a store which he conducted in the Kilby property. opposite the post office.

Lee, superintendent of the board of health, reports a fairly good response to the suggestion that school children be vaccinated against smallpox. The health department head anticipates a better response in the next few weeks. The advisability of vaccination was expained to the school committee several weeks ago by Dr. Lec. As a result, letters were sent to parents of school children through the children themselves, In cases where'the parents do not feel they can stand the expense of having the work done by a private physician, the department will per- form the vaccination.

Judging from opinions of var- fous officlals, indications point to the acceptance of the 20 mill tax as suit- able for paying the estimated expenses of Plainville. It is understood that one particular official will oppose the resolution as he believes that 20 mills will not be sufficient to cover the ex- penses. He also states that the select- man of any town is authorized by the statute laws to lay a tax sufficient to pay the expenses; and the one sug- gested by Mr.' Johnson will turn out to be too small, he thinks, Whether or not he will present his facts remains to be seen, hut the average taxpayer is satisfied with the proposed rate feeling that it should not be higher, it is reported. The need of a finance and taxation board was seen at the recent meeting for the compiling of the budget. This board, proposed and voted on, wj de- feated last fall. Today, were it in aperation, officials believe there could be some savings on the budget. One item which would save the town money, as estimated by Selectman Johnson, would be the holding of elec- tions for town officials but once every two years, instead of yearly. Elec- tion expenses total $300 and over. This could be saved were the elections every other year. The sidewalk construction matter will also be discussed and voted upon at the meeting tonight. - The town will offer to pay a certain percentage towards laying walks where necessary.

Mrs. Clara Whittaker | GIANFLONES TRIAL [3 SET FOR MARCH 20 State’s Attorney Alcorn Ready to **The March term of the criminal court will open at Hartford on next | Tuesday, and its session s of consid- | erable interest to loeal people due to | the probable trial of Joseph “Cow-! boy" Clanflone ‘and Michael Ruggerio, | indicted for {he alleged murder of | Iinio. Renaldino. State's Attorney | Hugh M, Algorn has made known that | he is ready to proceed with the trial, and has asked that it be assigned for March 20. Both Clanflone and Rug- gerio are in the Hartford county jail. | It Is said that the information at hahd indicates that Clanflone shot Renaldino while Ruggerio pinned his | arms, ! Richardson Said Suicide, The crime was committed in Oc- tober of 1920, on the lonely road near Reservoir No. 4 in the town of Farm- | ington. Renaidino was employed as | a clerk for A. Mancini, a macaroni | dealer, and his name was linked with the alleged activities of the local bootlegging ring. At the time, it was the claim of Andrew J. Richardson, then detective sergeant of the New Britain police, that Renaldino had committed suicide. There were many doubts expressed that such was the case, and the state police, who enter- ed the case on the day the body was found, always disclaimed the theory of Richardson. It was not until after the scandal hroke in this city, that things began to come to a head. One of the early arrests was that of Dom- inick Cropanese in this city. He was taken into custr)dy on South Main street, and his arrest was not 'made known until some time afterwards, It was when the scandal was at its height that the news of Cropanese's arrest became public. It was rtated at the time hat he had made gome \important revelations regarding the Renaldino affair. Suspects Captured. Ruggerio was caught by the state police after a chase from Berlin to this city, in which Policeman Michael J. Cosgrove played an important role. He was held on a technical charge. Then came the arrest of Cianflone !n West New York, N. J., by State Po- liceman Anthony Tomanio. Rug- gerio, previously to the capture of Cianflone, had been brought before the grand jury, and an indictment of murder in the first degree was re- turned against him and Cianflone. May Not Try Richardsons. Other cases of importance locally are those of Richardson and his two sons, with Jacob Winkle, who are held in connection with the theft of automobiles. The senior Richardson and Winkle have entered pleas of guilty. Andrew J. Richardson, Jr., is, with his parent, locked up in ihe jail at Hartford, while Wallace }. Rich- ardson, another son, is out on bonds. It is not thought that the Richard- sons will be arraigned during the coming term, because of the fact that they are supposed to be of !mportance to the prosecution in a pending liquor case against Thomas McAuliffe, for- mer prohibition enforcement officer. The McAuliffe case, which was quashed in the United States court by Judge Edwin 8. Thomas, has been np- pealed to the supreme court, and the decision on the appeal has not as yet been made known. ¥ive Other Cases. Iive other local cases ‘are on the docket for the coming terms, as fol- | low: Joseph Badnarski, breach of the peace. Clifton Davenport, violation city or- dinance. Carl China, theft.
