Why March Is Most Dangerous March is the gy most dangerous month of the year because the change of season fs more than a good many 8sys- tems can stand. Too often it is true that the sick “last only till spring.” But if the system is fortified, if the irapurities are driven from the blood, and the nerve tissues fed with wholesome and strength-giv- ing food medi- sine, there is no danger in the change of seasons. I'ather John's Medicine is nvaluable as a tonic in the spring. It strengthens the system and drives out the poifsonous waste matter—builds up the body. It is this power. that has made it so successful in treating colds .and throat troubles. No weakening stimulants, morphine or other danger- ous drugs. RICHARDSON GETS PRISON SENTENCE (Continued From First Page). an ante-room where the prisoners had been during the hearings in other cases. To other than court attaches and lawyers, there had been no in- dication that the prisoners were in the building. Both prisoners pre- sented a natty appearance, and neith- | er showed to any great extent the long months of incarceration at the county jail. When the accused were arraigned before Judge Wolfe, Judge William J. Malone, of Bristol, coun- sel for Winkle, and Lawyer P. F. Mc- Donough, of this city, counsel for Richardson, took places nearby. The State's Side, State’s Attorney Alcorn, addressing the court, sand it would not be nec- essary for him to delve in the case to any great extent, due to the fact that it was Judge Wolfe himself who {s- sued the bench warrant on which the men were arrested last September, and it was also before him that they were arraigned last October, when they. pleaded guilty to the offenses for which they were to be sentenced. Speaking of Richardson, Mr. Al- corn said he had been a mam of standing New Britain and a trust- ed member of the police force for many years, but his association with the bootleggers in New Britain had brought about his downfall. He told of the bringing of stolen cars from New York to New Britain, and the part the accused men played in the traffic. Of Winkle, Mr. Alcorn said he was also associated with the boot- legging business in this city, and like- wise had in his possession a stolen automobile, secured from the New York gang. Accused Were Truthful. My. Alcorn said in justice to the accused men, he would say that they have been very truthful in the mat- ter. He touched briefly on the time the men have been in jail, saying that events have transpired in the Mc- Auliffe case that have resulted in their being locked up awaiting sentence. Richardson The Worst. The state's attorney. characterized Richardson's affense greater than that of Winkle's, due to the position he held. Of Winkle, Mr. Alcorn said he believed the accused had worked in the belief that he was to be given protection for his misdeeds. In con- cluding his remarks, Mr. Alcorn said that he hagd leniency in mind when he asked that the men be let off with a substantial penalty. Malone Pleads for “Jake.” Judge William Malone, in speaking for his client, said he knew of him as a small business man in New Britain, the proprietor of a window washing establishment, and that he was not intellectually brilliant. Like many others, he believed in getting along casily. He told of the purchase of a Stutz car by his client, and said that after he had paid the demanded price he learned that it was not in the mechanical condition represented by the salesman. When investigators from an insurance company arrived in New Britain, he was apprised of the fact that the car had been stolen, and he immediately completed nego- tiations for its bona fide possession, —————————— ——— PALACE—Starting Sunday Wallace Reid--Elsie Ferguson , +=IN— “FOREVER” 'l paying these representatives a sub- stantial sum. Judge Malone sald that in his belief, Winkle had no knowl- edge of the theft of the car, and had “been a dupe rather than a tool," of the slick New Yorkers. In the mat- ter of sentence, Judge Malone said that his clinent had been incarcerat- ed for flve months and three weeks, and if it pleased the court, a consid- eration of this no doubt meets the enddof justice. Judge Malone 'sald that if his client wag to be further punished, he wpuld like to ask for a jail sentence. He spoke of the vol- untary manner in*which his client had sent for the state's attorney, in order to bare the facts attending in the case. Richardson Good Hearted. Lawyer P. F. McDonough, tpeaking for Richardson, said that he {8 now a man of 56 years of age. He spoke of his being apprenticed out when a lad of 10 years in the old country, and of his struggle in early life, position of sergeant in the New Brit- ain police department. . Lawyer McDonough said he had known Richardson long, and char- acterized him as having a warm heart and of being of a sympathetic nature. This, the lawyer said, was the reason he finds himself in the present predic- ament. His client, Lawyer McDon- ough said, after his arrest, realized his position, and on sending for the state's attorney, he “laid his cards on the table,”” coming out truthfully in telling of the whole affair. That Richardson felt keenly the disgrace he had brought upon himself and his family was spoken of by his counsel. Lawyer McDonough satd his client was led on through his inability to say no. Richardson Was Suffered. Mr. McDonough spoke of the long months his client has been in jail, and “if you would ask the jail attend- ants of his mental torture, you would realize how penitent he {snow." he further added. Mr. McDonough said Richardson has lost his place in society, but there is no reason to fear that he has become a habitual crim- inal by his past acts. A Faithful Daughter. The counsel told of the struggle the heartbroken wife and daughter have been through, and how hard the lat- ter has worked to keep a roof over their heads, since their father wag taken away by the strong arm of the law. He spoke of the modest little farm in Newington, that the accused had purchased, and on which there is a small mortgage at preseni. In con- cluding for his client, Lawyer Mc- Donough asked that the court be lenient, and if the sentence was te send his client away, the county jail would be the proper place. n gending him to jail, there is no fear that he will later become a drone on society,” Mr. McDonough said. He also said that if the court would show clemency, there was no doubt that Richardson would never again be before the bar of justice. Still On Farm. State’'s Attorney Alcorn said that there was no doubt but a dishonest public official was a menace to so- ciety. He said that during the time the investigation was under way, it had been learned by the officers that Winkle had, at a heavy expense, in- stalled a “still” for making moon- shipe whiskey on the" Richardson pré€Perty at Newington. “Had this case been brought into court before now, I would have asked for the maximum penalty,” said Mr. Alcorn. Asked by Judge Wolfe if he had any recommendation to make, State's Attorney Alcorn said that in case of Richardson, he would ask that a penalty of one to five years in state's prison be imposed. In making it an indeterminate sentence, Mr. Alcorn said he had ip mind that after one year, the prisoner would be in a posi- tion to file a petition for a parole with the parole board. In - the‘ case of Winkle, Mr. Alcprn said he ‘would rec- ommend a lower maximum sentence. Prison Stigma Hurts Lawyer McDonough pleaded further for his client by calling attention to the stigma of prison, that would be brought on the family of.the accused. In answer to this, Mr. Alcorn said he wished to have a sentemce imposed that will be a warning to any public official who has dishonest tendencies or who may violate his trust. Accused Speaks At this juncture, Richardson asked permission to speak a few words in his own defense. He sald that in 1921 he realized the mistake he had made, and with his sons he went to New York, where he conferred with a Mr. Coleman and a Harry Luce, of the insurancy company’'s investigating force. The car in his possession was alleged to have been stolen from a Frank Troy. This man was found and after looking over the car, he decided it was not his, for the reason that his machine had been in a wreck and showed the effects which this machine did not. The numbers of the car did not indicate that it was Tray's car. Richardson said that following a con- ference with the insurance officials, he returned to his home here. On the following day, he arranged to pur- chase the car from the insurance com- pany, he having disposed of some For Evening Wear . @ David Manning'’s To GO with evening dress, but especially constructed for danc- ing.

This he denfed, saying that it had been left in a garage on Fair- view street, and had been used but very little. Richardson pleaded that he be given a chance to produce Messrs. Coleman and Luce in court, in order to aubstantiate his story. At this juncture, Lawyer McDonough spoke saying that State's Attorney Al- corn was in possession of these facts. Judge Wolfe then decided to defer passing judgment in the case until this morning. Bonds Are Reduced. When the former sergeant and Winkle had been led away, Andrew F. Richardson, sone of the ex-sergeant, who has also been in jail for five months, was brought before Judge Wolfe, State's Attorney Alcorn, rec- ommended to the court that the bonds in his case be reduced from $15,000 to $5,000, stating that he believed he would be able to get him if needed in the future, Arrested September 29. The senior Richardson was arrested at police headquarters by state police agents shortly before noon, September 29, and the arrest of his two sons followed. Andrew was taken in at the Richardson farm in Newington, and Wallace at the Hotel Beloin lunch room, where he was employed. Jacob Winkle was arrested later in the afternoon. All four were hustled to the county jail and bail of §50,000 in the elder Richardson's case was settled upon. Bonds in the ‘other cases were fixed at $15,000 each. With the exception of Wallace, they have been confined in jail since the arrest On November 11, Wallace, the younger of the two sons, received bail and was freed. The specific charge in the case of the two Richardson boys and Winkle was concealing a stolen automobile. The senior Richardson was charged with knowledge and comilicity in the concealment of a stolen car. Other Arrests Follow. On the day following the arrest, efforts to. secure bail having been without avail, the quartet was locked up at-the -county jail. On that day, Jacob Jennings was accused of com- plicity in the rum ring and was placed in bonds of $30,000. Chief of Police W. J. Rawlings on that day named Sergeant W. C. Hart acting chief detective, replacing the then Sergeant Richardson. The next day, October 1, was one full of activities in the state police coup. Mayor O. F. Curtis con- ferred with State's Attorney Hugh Alcorn, ostensibly for the purpose of securing information that would af- fect Richardson's position in the civic government. Salvafore Variola, regarded as a notorious rum runner, was also arrested on that day. Vari- ola was one of the principal witnesses for the state in the Greenberg case. Both Plead Guilty. Arraigned in superior court Ocotber 11, the senior Richardson and Winkle both pleaded guilty to concealing an automobile. The latter qualified his plea with a stat@nent: “guilty to my knowledge.” The board of police commissioners at a meeting October 26, dropped Richardson from the police force and Sergeant Hart succeeded him. This action was taken at the suggestion of Mayor Curtis. OARSWOMEN'S GARB Boats For the First Time Have Slid- ing Seats—Change From Skirts To Pleated Bloomers the Cause. Oxford, March S8.—After 20 years of rowing, Oxford oarswomen have just reached the stage of having slid- ing seats in their boats. The delay has been due to the fact that skirts have hitherto been the of- ficial rowing garb for women and these were liable to catch in the roll- ers of sliding seats. Short skirts were proposed but quickly vetoed and a compromise has now been effected by adopting pleat- ed serge bloomers as the official row- ing dress. e Shore Haddock, Bostqn Blue, George- town Shad, Cod Steak, ackerel, Smelt No. 1, Herring, Perch, Pickerel and Long Island Flounders — Long Island Clams — Oysters and Scallops.

Members of the board voiced their disapproval in this matter inasmuch as it would necessitate digging up a stretch of land across the railroad tracks and that the lunch cart was on railroad property and might be moved at any time. It was voted to give the company leave to withdraw the petition. Several Smaller Petitions No action was taken on a petition for the inectallation of sidewalks on decay.

The war on film One great object is to fight the film on teeth. You can feel it now—a vis- cous film. It clings to teeth, gets be- tween the teeth and stays.
