Paul Aloisio of 265 Wash- ington Street Broods Over Theft of Barrel of Wine Until His Mind Be- comes Affected. Believed to have worked himself into a spasm of insamty through brooding over the imaginary loss of a barrel of wine, Paul Aloisio, aged 54, of 265 Washington street; fought four policemen, injuring two of them, and resisted arrest with such strength that it was impossible to handcuft him, this morning. He was finally landed in a cell at police headquarters, but only after several officers had carried him bodily out of the police patrol, Frightens Pedestrians Officers Joseph Kennedy and Wal- ter Malona saw Aloisio on West Main street, near Washington street, about 9 o'clock, walking rapidly with a small dog in his arms, and geaticu- lating in a wild manner, to the fright of passersby who expected he would attack someone any moment. Anticipating resistance, the officers did not approach Aloisio until the police patrol had been called. Officer John M. Liebler and Sergeant M. J. Flynn arrived, the former driving the patrol, and the four officers placed Aloisio under arrest..

This morning’s medical bulletin, |like the two of yesterday, recorded improvement, even though alight. Despite the fact that his majesty's gain has been slight, it has been | definite and more hopeful atmos- phere prevailed among palace offi- clals. | Restful Night This morning’s bulletin which was | signed by Sir Stanley Hewett, Sir| Hugh Rigby and Lord Dawson of | Penn was as follows: “The king has had a restful night. The slight improvement noted yes- terday continues.” On the whole the situation was regarded as fgvorable and satisfac- tory, although it was emphasized that anxiety continues and must continue for some time. Uninter- rupted progress for several days, it was sald, would be necessary before real confidence in the outcome can be felt. Developments of the immedlate future are awaited anxiously, the possibility alwaya being present of his majesty's suffering & setback and losing some of the ground so painfully won during the past two or thres days. There was no dis- position to minimize the fact that the reyal patient's condition stil was critical. m & Month Tt was a month ago today that the public was first informed that the king was {ll. It has been & month of deepest anxiety for the! nation, as what was first announced to be a feverish cold turned out to be serious congestion of the lung and pleurisy. The critical phase of the {liness which was poisoning the pat * system, apparently was reached on Dec. 2 when the official bulletins re- ported heart weakness and this period of most anxious suspense continued almost a fortnight until after Dec. 12 when an operation was performed for chest drainage which seemed to have marked the end of the downward trend in his majesty's case.

Meanwhile, opponents of the plan | to bulld an addition to the present buildings have made queries of the mayor and elsewhere with a view to making a last minute stand in the form of a protest meeting in a school | auditorium, hopeful that they will be able to impress upon board that it is not the wish of the | rank and file that an addition be | placed, they explain.

Bhe told of how she had been forced to the streets by her husband's craving for an easy liv- ing and that her earnings were turned over to Matthews in order that he might make payments on two cars which he had purchased on the installment plan. The men whom she was forced to entertain were of the lowest type, she told the court, because her husband pointed out that the better class could not be solicited and would not pay the money demanded. Her earnings some weeks totaled as high as $60, and she mentioned one instance of where a former Bristol man, now a resident of Waterbury, had been blackmailed by her husband for $200 after having been entertained at the Matthews’ home. Woman Appeals to Neighbors The attention of the police was directed to the activities of Mat- thews after a neighbor had shown them a letter which he had received from Mrs. Matthews asking his advice and help.
