No one could fail to be impressed by the in- |spiring and informing address that have been given, or by the sincere de- sire of our leading scholars to bring all Christians together in the intelli- gent understanding of God's truth. Let us evidence our personal apprecia- tion of all. we have.enjoyed and give our support and encouragement to i the president in the effective work ithe Federation is doing in Connectl- cut.” The series.was made under the aus- pices of the Federation of Churches, of which Dr. Rockwell Harmon Pot- ter, last Sunday's speaker is president. | The series of Sunday afternoon | mission study classes also came to an end last week.

STOOL PIGEON MUST EXPLAIN HIS STORIES (Continued from First Page) Strolls testified that Sevenski went into the store while he and Officer Stadler remained on the opposite gide of the street. +He ,said that Sevenski was in the store for about 10 minutes and when he came out handed the bottle to one of the officers. Tells Different Stories Sevenski when first called to the stand stated that he went to his home before he went to the store, and when cross examined stated that he did not go to his house until after he pur- chased the liquor. He said he went into the store, bought a package of cigarettes and then asked for the liquor, paying 45 cents for a drink and that which was put in the bottle for him. His testimony was conflicting and Attorney M. D. Sixe, who represented the acgused, stated that he ‘was un- reliable. Judge Mangan said that even the prosecutor was surprised at his witness. The interpreter was called to the stand and when Sevenski had again heen sworn under oath, this time in Polish, he was allowed to testify as an entirely new witness. Again he told the police he pur- chased the liquor for 45 cents but that the man he bought it from was not in court. He said that following the arrest of the Grezenia's he had been brought to the police station to iden- tify the,man who sold him the liquor. He said that he thought it was one of the men. 3 ‘Where Was He Monday? When asked why he did not appear in court last Monday'he said that he was in Massachusetts visiting a sick brother. It was then learned that he was at the police station Monday night and to!d V.iéutenant Bamforth that he was afrald {o go home alone 1as four or five men wanted to beat him in a store on Orange street. He said he did not know why they want- ed to hit him. It ‘'was also learned that when he was told at police station on Monday to appear in court Thursday morning he said he was afraid to be there. Atterney Saxe said that he believed there was a personal motive behind his fear and he was going to attempt Ito learn what it was. Judge Criticizes Witness At this point Judge Mangan stated that he was sauistied that Sevenski was an unwilling witness. Attorney Saxe then questioned whether or not Sevahski had liquor at home. Sevenski then testified that he went store, where he purchased the liquor' and direct to his home before giving it to the police.. He said that he went home to think over what to do and to talk it over with his wife before he btrought it to the police station. He then said that when he went in- to the store he asked Joseph Grezenia if he could purchase some liquor to which Joseph 1s alleged to have re- Important to all Women Readers of this Paper Thousands upon thousands of wo- men have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it, Women's coniplaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the resull of kidney or bladder disease, If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.

He denied having poured liguor of his own into the marked bottle the police gave him while he was in this room. Saxe Calls Sitnation “Ridiculous” Sergeant George Ellinger was called to the stand and testified that on the evening of March 14, he with other officers went to the home of Joseph Grezenla at 61 Grove street and upon entering the house they saw Wadis- law Grezenia, three other men and one woman, He further testified that when the policemen entered the room and In- formed the occupants that they were policemen, the woman overturned a glass on the table, which, they claim, contained liquor, This they deter- mined from the odor. Attorney Baxe said that he has been practicing law in New Britain for 12 years but never before has he seen such a ridiculsus situation. Prosecutor. Greenstein said that the case will undergo a rigid Investiga- tion by the New Britain prosecuting attorneys. He stated that something had been said to the witness whicn made him change his testimony in a hurry when he was questioned. Dented Ever Seeing Sevenski: Joseph Grezenia was called to the stand. He said that he has been liv- ing in New Britain eight years and has conducted the store on Grove street for two months. He claims he never saw Sevenski before. On the witness stand Wadislaw also said that he did not know Sevenski, that he was not a relative or brother of Joseph Grezenia and in fact knew him only about one year. He has recently served a three months’ jail sentence. . Heard Sevenski Say He Was Sorry Joseph Budjek, a brother-in-law'to Wadislaw Grezenia, went on the wit- ness stand. He said that on Satur- day night of last week as he was go- ing out of the store on Grove street he saw a crowd of men and one woman in front of the building and he got out in time to hear Sevenski tell Wadislaw and the others that he was sorry and that he did. not buy any liquor from Wadislaw or any of the others. Bolek Symola said that he heard Sevenski say the same thing but he did not know there was a woman present. Stanley Pylek testified to the same effect.
