Louis Stempien, 63, was fatally injured yesterday afternoon near Peter Rosso's garage on Swamp soad, Kensington, when he was struck by a motorcycle driven by Lawrence Borg, 21, of 60 Common- wealth avenue, New Britain. Kwar- eznik was rushed to the New Britain General hospital, where he died at $:30 o'clock from a fractured skull and internal injuries. Borg is held on a technical charge of man- slaughter. He was released on bondy of $500. It is claime that Stempien was walking along the road and turned 1o cross the street. About half way across, he turned and started back. Borg stated that he applied his trake but skidded and struck the man. There were no wilnesses to the accident, although there was heavy traffic on the road at the time of the accident. In a very few minutes cars had gathered at the place and traffic was held up by the purked machines. Ofticer Frank Brown investigated the accident and summoned Borg to Berlin town court. Upon learning of Stempien's death at the hospi- tal, he called the New Brituin police and they arrested Borg. Stemplen was employed as a teamster, and 1is survived by a brother in Hartford and efforts were being made today to get in touch with him.

Andrews Ce., Inc., warehouse in Kensington. He had been in a game of dice Sat- day night and had gone to work fol. lowing the game. Early yesterday meorning he was awakened from his “work” and was held up by two ‘men brandishing guns. They took the meney and a watch and diamoad ring that he had with him.

Meagley of Worthing- ton ridge. He is employed in the New York office of the Corbin Screw corporation of New Rritain. Road Conditions Improved Toad conditions in the town have been greatly improved by the work of the town tcams and by the weather conditions during the past week. The dry weather has given the workers a chance to work on the dirt roads to good advantage. In the early spring. it was necessary for the teams to go over the work sev- eral times, as the rains would wash the roads as fast as they were scrap- ed. Some of the time this spring has been spent on the hard roads of the town which were washed out by the rains and broken up by the frosts in the spring. East Berlin Leads Lea East Berlin Boy Scouts ..
