Dillon opened the | ddor and shot him. | “Why? Because he reasoned that | when Jerry felt a rope around his meck he'd try to save his own life | By exposing the plot and naming | his accomplice.

Being a strang- _.er, he probably knew nothing of - Peterson’s gold bullets and he rea soned his alibi was perfect. © “But before Dillon could get hold of Jerry's gold-mounted pistol anl discharge it to account for the bus- let hole in Jerry's body, Jerry, who was mortally wounded, managed to put a bullet in him. The impact responded. “I was coming to that” Jerry went on. “Dad was wild to bring Dillon to iustice.

Some one must go down there. I was the logical one and Dad said I'd better leave in the morning. But morning wasn't quick enough for me. I was going that night—at once. Dad finally agreed and I asked him what he was going to do about Dillon. *“ ‘Hang him if it takes every dol- lar T've got!’ he said grimly. *You'd better be off, if you are going to- night, son' he went on. ‘I'll follow you in a day or two. Stay there un- til I come.’ Those were about his last words to me.” Jerry paused, that brooding look in his eyes again, and we respucted his silence. “It was around nine, now,” he re- sumed. *“Driving into towm, I stocked up with water, food, and gasoline, and set off. It was nearly dawn when I got to Torridity. I| drove out to the mine at once. “Uncle Jerry was there, just as Furie had said.

KING TURNS GUNS ON MAYOR'S STAND (Continued from First Page) However, when Mayor Paonessa publicly makes charges apparently proceeding from his per- sonal animosity and prejulice which display his. unacquaintance with school problems and which further constitute a malicious. attack upon the motives actuating the members of this committee, he cannot expect to go unchallenged and unanswered. “The erection of portable rooms at the Stanley Quarter achool was recommended by the achool accom. modation committee, mot by the superintendent. There are over 14.. 000 children in the public achools of New Britain and because of a sur- plus of less than 100 pupils at one school, the committes is not inclined to ask the common council for an appropriation to erect & two room permanent addition without a study looking to the full solution of, th problem a@d an endeavor to make the maximum uss of our school plant as a whole. Deliberate Attempt to Deceive “Mayor Paonessa deliberately at- tempts to deceive the public when he refers to portables as sheet fron schools. There are no sheet iron school buildings in New Britain. There have been no such achool buildings. Therefore, referring to them as cast iron boxes is misrepre- sentation.. “That part of his statement wherein he accuses the members or the school committee who advocat- ed an addition to the Senior High school as being desirous of erecting a monument to themselves during their term of public office is scur- rilous and slanderous. It is unbe. coming one who occupies the office of mayor. People of New Britain who know the members of the com- mittee know this to be false, They know, algo, that the committee re- sisted propozals advocated by the mayor for a solution of the high school problems which would have been much more in the nature of & monument and also, much more ex. pensive than the plan they adopted. Insult to Public Intelligence “To mike the charge that the high school addition is unnccessary n insult to the intelligence of the citizens. When one recalls that s*u- dents were compelled to occupy tem- porary quarters in an adjoining school, to occupy basement roéoms and class rooms in corridors, block- ing fire exits, this charge is un- worthy of notice, d ate board of education con- firmed the récommendation for an additicn to the present high school. The board of finance and taxation approved the recommendation, and the common council by almost a unanimous vote was in accord. There only remains to be said that because of the mayor’'s policy of ob- struction, the city was compelled to ray $50,000 more for the building. In other words, regardless of the practically unanimous approval of city officials the mayor's persistent opposition delayed the letting of the contract so long that the original bid was withdrawn and the taxpayers of New Britain are now compelled to pay an additional sum of $50,000 to erect the buflding. Canstantly In Opposition “Since when is Mayor Paonessa so solicitous for the welfare and educa- tion of our children? Citizens will recall that in his past administra- tions as well as in this one, he has constantly opposed the efforts of the school committee. He has attempt. ed to resist the erection of build- ings which the committee believed the children of New Britain re- quired to give them a proper edu- ed the ceremony and officiated at 60 ACRES /3 MILE SHORE )| [ALLTHAT | [THAT'S A MISPRINT!

Lieb- ler and William P. Hayes and ar- rested for drunkenness-after an ex- tension ladder had . been procured from the Fafnir Bearing company factory to get him to the ground. Captain Kelly was notified at po- lice headquarters- that a man ap- peared to be asleep on the car and when the officers arrived they were at a loss for a methed of removing Brodin. He was at fhe edge of the car, in a position where th ightest stir would cause him to hurtle to the ground, and the metal roof was so hot from the sun that the officers could not hold their hauds on it, yet he was sleeping as sercnely as though he was resting on the down- fest of mattresses.

Joe is an old time vaudeville standby. For 22 years he has play- ed before audiences. But his phy- siclan has ordered him to stay in the fresh air as much as possible and he has taken up the life of a peregrinating minstrel who plays for all and sundry who wish to hear. Joe always begins his pro- gram with “La Paloma,” that Spanish melody with its haunting atmosphere of old and gay Castile. Then his nimble fingers and, com- pressed lips switch into Russian, French, Scatch, Itallan and Irish music. His repertoire is almost in- exhaustible.

He did not know how long he had been there when the police came after him. Brodin was in police court last Friday for drunkenness and Judge Baxe ordered a suspended commit. ment to the state farm, giving him a chance to go to work.
