POLICEMAN MALONEY HAD HARD TIME WITH TOUGHS. Refused to Move When Directed, but All Were Landed in Cooler—Several Came to His Assistance and Two of the Prisoners Were Marked. There was one of the liveliest free- for-all fights on Central wharf shortly after 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon that that section has experienced in some time. Policeman Maloney, who had a tussle with a quartette there on Wednesday, saw Rnother quartetts hold up a Younz man just east of Peck & McWilliams' office.” He at once or- dered them to move on and they re- tused to budge. He placed one of them, William Ahearn, under arrest and thereafter there was & rough and Dble. Ahearn refused to go and th: others were bound he should not be taken. Getting out his club, the police- man sailed into the bunch, but he could not get at them all and they were soon rolling about the street. A telephone message cent to Chief Murphy resulted in Policemen Henderson, Brock and Irish being sent there, while several citizens responded fo the ald of the policemen, Henry Peck tackling one, while Michael Corcoran want at an- other. Wiiliam Ahearn was submissive at- ter a time and left In the care of Frank Tuttle and Charles Neff while Police- man Maloney located ~Patrick Cox. The other policemen arrived and ths two were taken to police station, both bleeding considerably. Policeman Ma- loney from a blow in the nose had lost eome blood, while another had poked .a finger into his eye. With the two locked up it was leare. ed that Thomas Cox and Thomas Ahearn had gone into Water street and they were sought and caught. It was sald by several that Thomas Ahearn had nothing to do with the affair and he was allowed to go, but when Police- man Maloney sald he was one of the worst he was sought agaln and_found in a shoemaker's shop on Central wharf. There was considerable troublc tting him out, but Policemen Ma- loney and Henderson got him out and to police station and the quartette will be before the court this morning. That the men were taken in even by the free use of the club met with gen- eral favor, as there are many such holding down ‘the curbstones in that section who make people timid. about going into that section and make un- told trouble for the police. ‘WHle Michael Corcoran and the fel- low he had were tusseling they went throngh one of the windows of the Robert Brown plumbing establishment.

The com- missioners consider that the council should recelve their plan with details first, so_that on Monday evening It is expécted the entire proposed plan, with estimates, will be given. MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY HIGH WIND STORM Roof Blown Off Jail Barn, Windows Broken, Trees Felled, Delivery Wag- ons Overturned and Wires Torn Down. The high 'wind of Thursday, which made walking very disagreeable, caused much damage #m this section, being the worst storm of its kind in & Icng time. At 12.30 o'clock, when Deputy Sher- iff Bowen was at dinner, the wind got in under the tin roof on the barn at the jail tore it from its fastenings and ‘with the cupola maintaining its Iofty -perch, all were carried a dis- taince of about 75 feet, landing them in the stréet. As it feil it struck the high board fence, breaking off the ten- inch red cedar post like & pipe stem and crushing the fence. It caused much excitement for a few minutes, after which the work of clearing up the mass of tin was started. About thirty feet of the storehouse roof was also torn of, but the remainder was nalled down before it had been ripped off. The janitor took his horse to a livery stable where it will be kept until’ the barn has a new tin roof. The full benefits of the wind wers secured on Jail hill, About noon a large elm in front of street, split in two, carrylng down twelve pairs of telephone wires and a pair of electric wires carrying 2,300 volts. . No one was injured, but the linemen were given a busy time. In the afternoon an ash tree at the Shipman place was dlown over and chopped down and g pine tree at the Backus hospita] was blown down. In Franklin street park a limb of a tree broke off, tearing down three sec- tions of the fire alarm wires going to box 25 and that was out of commis- sion the rest of the day. The delivery wagon of John Jorfan was blown over twice, windows in Simpson's restaurant, Somers Bros.' market, and the Brooklyn Outfitters were blown out, awnings Were torn down. and trees were blown over in the Sweet yard in Thames street, Pot- ter 1ot off West Main street, and a section of fence In front of the prop- erty of E.

Following Short Calendar Today, the Criminal. Business Will Be Finished Up. In the superior court at New Loti- don on Thursday the case of Amasa E. Maln of Iowa, administrator of the estate of Amasa A. Main, father of both Amasa E, and Lafayette, vs. Laf- ayette Main, a suit brought for a judg- ment of foréclosure on the farm owned and occupled by Lafayette in North Stonington.” This judgment is asked because it is claimed that a mortgage held by the elder Amasa before his death against Lafayette's farm ’ has never been satisfied. Lafayctte's claim s that the mort- gage was pald and that he sepured an entire release from his father. This release was exhibited in court Thurs- day, but its genuineness was doubted by the defonse as the only witnesses father and his housekesp- er, Miss Nellle Austin, are both dead. The case was a protracted one and there svere many witnesses. The first was 'Luther Main, another son of Amasa A. and the real plaintift, in the absence of Amasa F. He sald that the farm in question wWas about 100 acres and wag worth about $2,000. Wit- ness' father had paid taxes in 1905 ing the mortgage on the place. The defendant, Lafayetts, was then called. He told of buying the place from his father and giving his father @ mortgage on the farm. On this mortgage Lafayette said he paid $1,000 at one time. Then later he on Sept. 10, 1907, paid the remainder. At this ‘time he went to his father's place and made a final settlement. In ad- dition to the mortgage, Lafavette and his father had other accounts, Lefay- stto having purchased articles from his father. The settlement was made in the kitchen of the house and was wit- nessed by Miss Nellle Austin of Fall Rivor, hhusckeoper for Latayetie, the elder Mr. Malin giving Lafayette an en- tire release. At this point the alleged release was laid in by Attorney Arthur M. Brown | for the defense as exhibit A. The amount was $1,320 approximately. Laf- ayette then continued to say that Miss | Austin died In March, 1008, In Wester- ly, two months before witness' father, the only other person present at the settlement. Witness Insisted that his father was In fair health when the set. tlement was made and the release giv- en, although he had “sick spells.” Then Attorney Donald G. Perkins, representing the plaintifr, cross-exam- ined Lafayette. This cross-examina- tion was partioularly interesting be- cause of the former relations of th cross-examiner and the cross-examin ed. Mr. Perkins defended Lafayett. Main in a trial for the theft of a heif. er. Maln was convicted and sent to state's prison for one yesr. He claim- ed that he patd Mr. Perkins dn full for his services. a claiin that was Jdisput- ed by Mr. Porkins. Mr. Perkins did not forget the for- mer case, and ho asked Mr. Maln if he was not tha same Lafayette F. Malin that was convicted and sentenc- &d to spend a year in state's prison, to which Mr. Main, with some hesitancy, answered “Yes” after which he| launched out info an extended apology | d explanation of his innocance of the theft of the heifer, which was | nipped in the bud by Judge Wheeler, who rebuked Lafayette and admon- ished him to be careful and answer the questions directly and not wander away from the questions. Attorney Perkins subjected Main to scathing cross-examination asking Miss Austin had gone down father's house on this Main replylng that him why particular day, she often did. After Main's testimony an imposing array of witnesses were called in or- der. The evidence and argument: case were, completed during *h noon, and court adjourned at 4 o'clock until this morning, whes there will be & short calendar session. Case Went Off List. of R. A.

Two Songs. ‘The papers for the afternoon related to the part Norwich took In the revolu- tionary war, and were preceded by t appropriate” songs, Revolutionary Tea and Yankee Doodle, given by the D. A. R. choir—Mns. William H. Allen, direc- tor; Mrs. Clinton E. Stark, Mrs. Charles D. Gallup, Miss Phebe Brewster, Mrs. Willlam G. Henderson, Mrs. Charles Prentice and Mrs. Augustus Gulll\‘un Mrs. Frank Coxeter accompanied Norwich in the Revolution. The six papers read were all ex- tremely Interesting, and gave a com- prehentive view of the enahusiasm and atriotism showm by Norwich citizens in every way by which they might aid the cause of the colonies. Mrs. C. Lesile Hopkins briefly sum- marized the cause which led up to the American revolution. The gengral in- telligence of the ' colonists and their study of law rade them resent thegre- strictions on trade and navigation and the great authority of the customs of- ficlals. They did not care to be taxed to pay for a large army of British soldiers. The first record of any offi- ofal protest made in Norwich was in 1764, at the time of the stamp act. The stamp officer was arrested at Wethers- fleld John Durkee of Norwich, and the celebration of the rcpeal of the stamp act was a glorious rally around the Liberty tree. The revenue act caus- ed another great ripple of excitement and a boycott, upon foreign luxurles in response to the Boston Circular. The art of war became the study of all four companies drilling on the Green in 1774, :M preparations were made for de- ense. Part in Marine Affairs. Mrs. Irving Gifford described the part Norwich took in the marine affatrs at this time. She told of the several ships built or fitted out in Norwich for use as cruisers and privateers, and of the notable sea eaptains who commanded these beits, espeofally Captain Robert Niles, who was in command of the Spy, a fast cutter, carrying intelligence and stores along the coast, and later tak- the treaty safely to France, besides capturing several British prizes. Sea fights were numerous, and so were the number of rich prizes taken by these boats, and helping out the store of pro- visions in Norwich during the later Years ot the wat, Simon Huntington’s Voyage. Mary L. Huntington gave a brief ac- count of the voyage of Simon Hunting- ton to America in 1633 and the settle- ment of two of his three sons in Nor- wich, where thelr descendants were prominent, upright and highly honored citizens, holding many blle offices and Interested in everythis for the sdvancement of the towh ang oountry. General ‘Huatingson, of the fifth generation, A& prominent and wealthy man and ship owner, gave up every- thing for the American cause, sacrific- ing ease, wealth, health, and even life itself, dying In 1786 from the effects of the hardships of active service in the war. He was a member of the com- mitte of safety. His son, Jedediah, aleo a major general, !ou t in many After the war he was collec- tor of customs many years at New London, where he dled in 1718. Tory Prisoners Here. Miss Lucy Geer told of many tories who were held as prisoners in Norwich, this being a favorite place for their safe keeping. Among these were Sam- | uel Greene and Dr. Benjamin Church | f Boston. Ebenezer Punderson of | oreston L.ad his estate confiscated, Tory The Robertsons, the Norwich Packet, were also tories. She also told of for- cign_officers of the _revolution who spent some time In Norwich. These were Marquls de fayette, Baron Steuben, Count Pulaski and ‘the Duc e Luzan. Twenty French. soldiers are rled here from a regiment on its way to the south. Mrs. George A. Keppler reviewed" ‘the hardships of the colonists during the | war. Dress, amusements and display were given up. Homespun _parties were popular and simple living was a test of patriotism. There were about forty articles of import which they were pledged not to use. Anyone vio- lating this pledge was posted through the town. The lack of molasses and salt were great privations. and wheat was often scarce and apportioned even- lv among familles: After 1780 the town fared better, being a port of refuge and recefying many vessels of supplies. What Happened at Home. Local Incidents of the Revolution vag the subject of Mrs. Amos A. Brown ing's paper. She drew & stirring ple- ture of the intense excitement which prevailed in Norwich previous to and during the revolution, and the rejolcing at its close. Though far from the seat of war, so that they might easily have ‘been more indifferent, they were fully allye to the situation, eager for the latest news, and most generous with men, money, clothing and provisions for the cause.
