It Is understood that the purchase price was over $200,000. The building is occupied by the Hallinan Bakery, the Famous Clothing Store, the Fidelity Finance bank and offices. The building is so constructed that it is possible to go up six to eight stories, and while plans have not been materialized it is not unlikely that the new owners will at some future date further develop the property. Mr. Hallinap purchased the par- cel of land on which the stands of the late William H. Hart. The property has an interesting his- | tory, having been connected for years with some of the most prom- inent families in New Britain.

SMOKES IN BED, CAUSES BLAZE IN HOTEL ROOM Guest at Bronson Falls Into Coma- tose State With Lighted Cigar- ette in Hand Going to sleep with a lighted cigarette in his fingers, a roomer at the Hotel Bronson caused a fire in his room, which might have been serious but for the alertness of Supernumerary Officer Walter Wag- ner.

CARPENDER AND STEVENS HELD (Continued from First Page) | The hearing was instituted to de- termine whether Carpender and Stevens should be held for |grand jury. Judge Cleary made his decision known prior to opening of the hear- ing this morning. He had previously sald that de- nse witnesses would be heard. He explained at that time that there as no statute that provided for the |defense calling witnesses. But he |had agreed that he would himself call the witnesses the defense wish- {ed to have testify. “The sole object of the hearing, |Judge Cleary said, “is for the state |to show whether it has a prima |facte case. It would not serve the purpose of law to permit the state's case to be attacked.” He advised counsel for defense that he thought it would be prejudi- cial to have their witnesses testify because grand jurors or even trial |jurors, provided the case went to them, might feel that since a judge | who heard the defense had held the men for the grand jury the state's evidence was the most convincing. Only three witnesses had been warned to appear for the opening |of the hearing. Limitation of evid- |ence to that offered by the state, the attorneys said, made it certain the hearing would conclude in a few hours. | Witnesses Oalled | Among the witnesses notified to be on hand were two sisters of the slain chorister, These twere Mrs. Elsie Barnhardt, of New Brunswick Mrs. Marle Lee, of Paterson told investizators thoy heard ir sister say she was afraid of Trances Stevens Hall, widow of murdered rector, held in $15,000 ind 0 M he bail.
