Two men were injured, one truck wrecked and a second one damaged, in a collision which occurred last evening at 7:45 o'clock on the Ber- lin Turnpike near the International Silver company’s sign. Trucks owned hy the Hartford Despatch and Ware- house company and the Woodland Transportation company were in- volved in the accident. The former truck was in charge of Abe Katz of 26 Winthrop street, Hartford, while John J. Zieminski of 7 North Bank strect, New Haven, was the driver of the second truck. Katz and his helper, F. H. Higley of 19 Cluen court, East Hartford. were cut by glass and were,treated at the Meriden hospital. Both men were discharged from the institution after rceeiving treatment. Zieminski es- caped injury. The trucks were traveling in the opposite directions when the crash ocurred. The Woodland truck, head- ed for New Haven, was overturned, landing on its side a few feet from the west edge of the highway. Its top and chassis were splintered and a load of tires which the vehicle was carrying was strewn about the road. The ether truck had its left front section badly battered and blocked the west side of the highway. The positions and conditions of the two trucks indicated that the left side of the Woodland truck had been struck by the left front side of the other truck. Chris Powers, man- ager of the Silver Lake inn, extricat- ed Katz from the wreckage and took him to the hospital while a passerby took Higley to the institu- tion. At the hospital Katz was found to have cuts about his hands and arms and a bad gash over his left eve. Higley's injuries consisted of a lacerated ear and a cut on his fore- bead. The spot where the accident oc- eurred has been the scene of many bad accidents during the past few months. Mr. Powers, who took Kats to the hospital, also took two New Britain men to the institution a few ‘weeks ago when they were serious- ly injured following & collision at this spot. The police are investigat- ing the accident.

Mantaosian Bound Over Finding probable causc in the case of Charles Mataosian of Wilcox street, New Britain, charged criminal negligence and driving in connection with the death of Arnold Burkhardt of Southington on the Plainville-Southington higi- way on the night of October 12, Justice M. O. Ryder bound the New Britain man ovcr to the December term of the superior court after a hearing in the town hall last evening. Mataosian was rcleased under bond of $1,000. Grand Juror Charles F. Conlon introduced seven witnesses for the state in building up a chain of evi- dence against Mataosin. His first three were Paul Gill, Malcolm Gii and Robert Curran, who had been with Burkhardt on the night he was killed. They testiffied they Were bound from Southington to Bristol when the gasoline supply had failed. Burkhardt had gotten out of the car and gone around to the rear to draw some gas from the tank, and as he did so Mataosian's car struck him and crushed him between the two automobiles. Clifford Lee of Southington told the court that he had passed Burk- hardt's stalled car just before the accident, the prosecutor using this evidence to show that there was room to pass Burkhardt's machin without hitting it. Constable George Schubert told what he had learned from the vari- ous people who were involved in the accident. He gave measurements of the scene of the fatality, saying the stalled machine had been across the road from an electric light, 48 Yfeet and 11 inches away, and that the right wheels were 15 inches of? jthe cement pavement. He said there would have been room for Matao- slan to pass unless a third car had been coming in the opposite direc- tion. Mataosian, he added, had claimed there was such a third car .and that it had blinded him. Judge William F. Mangan of New Britain, counsel for Mataosian, asked if Burkhardt could have driven fur- ther off the road. and Schubert said he was in front of a driveway where ‘he could have pulled over seven feet more. Joseph Dalena, who conducts a garage just south of the accident scene, said he saw the cars up the road and went up with his wrecker. He did not see the reported third car. Dalena had the tail light of Burkhardt's car and answered nu- merous questions in connection with PLAINVILLE GRANGE P. of H. 54 Presents “SAFETY FIRST” Friday Eve., Nov. 23rd (Continued on Page 11) ! the claim by the defense that Burk- hardt, in drawing gasoline, had hia- den the tail light with his body. Special Policeman Gustave Dexter of Southington, who had been sum- moned to the spot, corroborated Schubert's’ testimony. He said the street light gave plenty of illumina- tion, while he doubted that Burk- hardt could reach under his tank without uncovering the sypposedly covered tail light. The state then rested, and Judge Mangan offered no testimony in defense, Prosecutor Conlon, in summing up, claimed that Burkhardt was le- gally parked on the highway and that, even had he not had any light burning, the presence of the strect light would have covered him legal- Iy. “The rate of speed is a great factor in any accident.” he sald. “The testimony that Burkhardt's car was a complete wreck s mute evidence of fast driving. Lee pass- ed the ca Do you believe that Mataosian was excrcising due care?" In conclusion, he asserted there ¥ no doubt but what there was crim- inal negligence. The contention of Judge Mangan was that the state must show gross a fourth ! negligence, terrific speed or some He said} very damaging evidence. the prosecutor had introduced M: taosian’s statement that he as traveling at 20 miles per hour and that Attorney Conlon must now stand by his own evidence. Because of the “terrific traffic” on the high- way, the defense attorney claimed that the Burkhardt car was net properly parked and that Mataosian had been blinded by lights of a third machine. He asked for a de- cision by Justice Ryder and urged that the latter should not *pass the buck” to the superior court. Grand Juror Conlon jumped up again and said that criminal negli-- gence was certainly shown by the state, as the death of ~Burkhardt and injuries to passengers in the Mataosian car proved it had been traveling at a high speed. Justice Ryder found probable cause and bound Mataosian over, There were about 40 persons prosent at the trial, the long case having created much interest here because of Its reopening after Cor- oner J. Gilbert Calhoun had exon- erated Mataosian. A comic aside was created when the chair of the prosecutor collap ed and dropped him to the floor. Attorney Conlon arose, ruefully rub- bing & bumped head, and passed off the incldent with a reference to “undertaker's chairs.” Governor's Silver Wedding Governor and Mrs. John H. Trum- bull of Farmington avenue will ob- sary on Wednesday, November 28. They were married on November 25, 1903, at the home of the bride, then Miss Maude Usher, on Farm- ington avenue.

One of the largest rcal estate | deals ever consummated in this city | was transacted within the last | month, it was learned this morning when a warrantee deed was filed in the office of the city clerk record- Ing the sale of the property of Mrs. Nettie E. Rockwell, former Bristol resident of Bristol and widow of the late A. F. Rockwell, millionaire manufacturer and the donor of Rockwell Park.

Willimantic Vet Held In Bonds of $5,000 Willimantic, Nov. 21 (UP)— Facing charges of cmbezzlement of more than $5,000 of city funds, James 8. Donohue, 29, former mu- nicipal clerk and treasurer, was held in $5,000 bonds hers today. Donohue was arrested at Provi- dence, R. I, yesterday afternoon on a warrant charging him with em- ;hnv.zlfimrnt of $5510.87 from the | Willimantic treasury between June 1525 and July 1927, The former city official was ar- rested at the instigatios of the board of aldermen after it was jlearned the United States Fidelity and Guarantee company of Balti- more, Md., had refused to make &00d the shortage in Donohue's ac- counts. The bonding company claim- ed it had not been ipformed of pre- vious shortages when it bonded Donohue as treasurer. The city's suit against the bond- ing company is awaiting trial before the December term of superior court. Donohue is a veteran of the ' World war, having enlisted in the 26th division at the age of 19. He served several terms in city offices. Several other irregularities in his accounts were adjusted by friends and relatives, it was said. He re- signed in September, 1927, after the $5,000 loss had been called to his attention. Urges Utilization of Wasted Materials ‘Washington, Nov. 21 (P—Utiliza- It is understood that the estate s ; 100 of 260,670,000 tons of material annually wasted on American farms was urged yesterday as one solution to the farm problem, by Dr. Henry G. Knight, chief of the bureau of chemistry and soi ., before the ¢2nd annual convention of the Associa- tion of Land-Grant Colleges and Universities. Among “agricultural wastes and residues” Dr. Kn'ght listed 100,000,- 000 tons of cornstalks, 115,000,000 tons of cereal straws, 70,000,000 tons of peanut hulls, 3,000,000 tons of cat hulls and 2,200,700 tons flax straw. He pointed to *he manu- facture of fiber Loards fr~~ sugar canc as one example of successful utilizition of waste, and declared residues of corn crops should be made into starch, glucose, ethyl al- cohol and acetone. e PARENTS UNDERSTO0D THIS BABY’S LANGUAGE “We thought we were going & lose our baby, teething.” says a Ken- tucky mother. “He couldn't digest anything and was getting thinner every day. After one of his fretful crying nights, I thought of Castoriu and got some. A few drops made him comfortable, and after a few doses, he seemed like a different baby.” Doctors everywhere recom- mend purely-vegetable, harmless Fletcher's Castoria for coldw, consti- pation, colic and other ills of ba- bies and children, and millions of mothers know its gentle influence is best. Avoid imitations. The Fletch- er signature is the mark of genuine Castoria. Frank E. Goodwin 5 Eyesight Spocialist ]
