Matthews, who en- tered a plea of nolo contendere in the local court, has been in Hart- ford county jail since that time, ha ing been unable to furnish the bond of $5,000 set by Judge Donovan. Testimony given in the local court by Mrs. Matthews was lurid in the She told of having becn forced into the life of a woman of the streets by her husband and { turning over the money so earned fo him. She also testified that a for- mer Bristol man, now a resident of Waterbury, had been blackmailed out of a considerable sum by Mat- thews because of attention paid her and at the same time, it is under- stood, she implicated several local Lusiness men. Matthews was not represented in court and did not | volunteer any information to the au- thorities.

Well Causes Controversy A well on property located on l.ake avenue necar Lake Compounce |is the cause of a controversy be- tween city health officials and the {owenr. The latter contends that the water 1n the well has been con- |taminated by seepage from the sew.r beds. This is denied by city o ficials who are inclined to believe that the contamination is brought about by drainage water from the owner's house. The state health authorities have looked into the matter and agree with Dr. B. B. Robbins, city health officer, that the city is in no way re- sponsible for the: condition com- plained upon. Arrangements are | now being made, however, to have a state engineer conduct an investiga- tion and the city's final action will be based upon his findings.
