Story of the Polish Orphanage. (By Rev. Stanley ITciek) It is not only the large manufactur- |ing plants of New Britain that, {the giapt oaks, from small acorns grew. Some of New Britain chari- table institutions had a very remark- able growth, due to the untiring ef- forts of their founders and the char- ity of our citizens. The Children's Home of Dr. Klingberg and the Po- lish Orphanage, founded by Father { Lueyan Bojnowski, from very small beginning developed into very large charitable institutions. “ With the increasing number of Po- lish immigrants coming to this coun- | try, to the New Ingland | states, the need of an orphan home for the children of thesc immigrants I\\ns very great. With firm belief in like | NEW BRITAIN DA of money. The trees, brush and stones were cleared, farm buildings were erected, a large poultry yard and uiry farm were established. ' The vegetables, fruit, berries, eggs, meat and milk raised on the farm go to- wards feeding over three huadred or- phans and what is not used in the in- stitution is sold on the market, Sev- eral hundred white leghorn and buff orpington chickens constitute - the poultry farm and over 30 head of Hol- stein cattle supply milk for the chil- dren, With a large number of orphans and with applications for many more, who could not he accommodated on aecount of the cramped quarters, a new huilding, which could accommo- late about 300 children was necded. With the permission anl couperation of the bishep, Rt. Rev, J. J. Nilan, it was decided to erect a modern fire- proof building on the property, near N. Burritt and Alden streets. Henry Ludorf, a young architect of this city, raised in the Polish parish, was selected to make the plans, The huilding is in the style of [Italian Rena. nce, simple, yet very neat and attractive. The main entrance is of stone and terra cotta. Several large Corinthian columns are supporting a beautiful composition group, repre- senting mothers bringing theic chil- dren to the Blessed Virgin. The building 1s of brick, stone, concrete and steel and is of fireproof construc- tion. Work Starts in April. Work on the new orphanage was commenced last April. contract was awarded to T. J. Pardy Construction Co., of Bridgeport. The general contract was close to $200,- 000, heating, light, painting, plumb- ing, furniture and fixtures bring the total to $300,000, ! The building is 165 feet deep and ! four stories high. The first floor con- tains a large kitchen, store rooms, Jdining halls, laundry, boiler rooms and coal bunkers. The main floor contains offices, parlors and class rooms. Third floor has dormitories for the children and hospital accom- modations. for the sisters who have charge of (he institution. The building is very convenient in every way and built ac- cording to the most modern ideas of irchitecture., It is perhaps the most modern and up to the minute char- itable institution in the New England tates. The view from the orphanage ywver New Britain, Hartford and the urrounding territory is beyond cription, The building is nearing completion, workmen are putting on the finishing | | touches. The building with some 200 acres of farm land is worth nearl half a million dollars, oak which grew from the small acorn in the last 19 years, The dedication of the new orphan home will take place this coming Sunday, Aug. 12.

It was fifteen minutes later | when the verdict was announced. | Takes Verdict Calmly, Whitfield took the verdict calmly, apparently elated "at escaping the | death’ chair. He showed no signs of collapse and was smiling when he came into court. He answered with a laconic "‘No" when asked by the | court if he had anything to say before | | being sentenced. In passing sentence Judge Phillips | scored the jury for not returning a | verdict that would cafry with it the death penalty. Then, talking direct- Iy to the prisoner, Judge Phillips said: | Judge Indignant. | “In my entire experience I have | never known of a murderer who so | justly deserved the death penalty. As | the trial judge 1 would have felt a de- | gree of satisfaction in sentencing you to death, but my hands are tied hy the verdict and therefore 1 sentence you to spend the remainder of your life in the penitentiary. case, I never knew of more heartless, more reckless, more indifferent, more depraved conduct following a brutal . murder.” Whitfield was tried for the slaying of Griffn, who had arrested him on the morning of May 11 on a charge of stealing spark plugs and had start- ed for the station house in Whit- field's automobile. They did not ar- rive there, and an investigation was started. A nation-wide alarm and descrip- ticn of Whitfield was sent out and a search for Griffin's body was begun by police.
