Lynch on Trial—Charged with Cruelty to a Bull. Louis Dupre of Putnam, who late on ‘Wednesday afternoon changed his plea of not guilty to guilty in the case wherein he was cl with having recelved stolen property, was fined $100 and costs in syperior court on Thursday morning on each of the two counts. The total will figure some- thing Iike $300. Acting State's Attor- ney Bugbee requested that if a fine was imposed that it be the maximum, Attorney Torrey, for the defens scught a fine, and told the court that the accused had been working for the Putham Gas company for about a score of years and that for the last fifteen had been its chief engineer. He also stated that he had enjoyed an excellent character up to the present incident and felt that he would be sufficiently puishei with a fine without a sentence in jail. Charged with Cruelty to a Bull. The next case called was that' of Jobm G. Lynch of Windham, charged viith cruelty to a bull. This jury was sworn and empanelled: James Coch- rane, Charles McDaniels, Benjamin Russell, Charles S. Hyde, Henry Eat: cu, Thomas Bradford, Frank W. Con% don, James Downing, Ingoldsby Trowbridge, Caleb Anthony, Walter W, Vaughn, Newton E. Clark, Special Attorney B. Frank Bu~bee was assisted by Attorney Samuel B. Harvey, local counsel for the Connec- ticut Humane society. The defendant was represented by Attorney Thomas J. Kelley. When put to plea Mr. Lynch entered a plea of not guilty. George J. Rood of Windham was the first witness called and testifled that on the 10th day of last July while in his yard he saw Lynch coming up the walk in front of the house at about 6.30 in the morning, and that his brother, Horace Rood, was driving the cows across the walk and had a yearl. ing bull that was walking behind slowly and that Lynch came along and kicked the bull in the side and as the bull turned he kicked him again, but more severely. Lynch and Rood had some words about the affair. Claimed that the bull was headed toward the street when Lynch kicked it and that afterwards the bull went down and when he got to the pasture, a half or three-quarters of a mile below, that he went down again and he was taken back to the barn and treated. He sald that the spot where the bull was kick- ed was swollen for something like two weeks. Rood claimed on cross examination that the entire affair took place on the sidewalk and that he was approx- imately 100 feet distant, The first time he saw Lynch was when Lynch was kicking the bull, and that he was alone and he did not see anyone else around. He denied Horace's calling out of the house. There was nothing said before the bull had been kicked, and there had been no movement on the part of the bull to go at Lynch. He ad- mitted that there had been strained feelings TDetween the Roods and Lynches for five or six years. Horace Rood said that he had known the accused for years asg they were neighbors, Early in July, about 6 in the morning, he was driving the cattle from the barn through the drive way across the sidewalk. The bull was in the rear, and as the latter came opposite Lnych endeavoring to cross the walk, Lynch kicked him. After court re-opened in the after- noon, Dr. B. K. Dow was called by BOLLETIN REPRESENTATIVES 75 MONUMENTS, Headstones and Markers In our stock ready to be erected. Obtain our pricea and inspect 1000 artistic designs.

Telephone connection. the defence tnrough agreement; testi- fled that at the request ot Mr. Lynch he had gone to Windham and exam- iped the bull and as far as he could ascertain could not see but that the bull was all right and not injured. On cross examination admitted that he did not go to the Rood place, but was pointed out a pasture on the plains by Mr. Lynch as the place where the bull could be found. The bull that he examined was between one and one- half and two years old. Lathrop Weaver testified that he had seen the bull some time in Jury, but could not tell what date, and that there was one place where he had noticed a black and blue mark about as large as a_ half-dollar, but further than that could not say that the bull was injured, Aleck Ellison also tes- tified to seeing the bull with a black and blue spot but could not tell wheth- er the animal was suffering or not. The State Rests. A t this point the state rested. The first witness for the defense was Miss Maud Lynch, a daughter of the ac- cused. She said tbat on the morning of July 10, between § and 7 in the morning, she had started out with her father to walk up the hill and that the cows belonging to the Rood boys were com- ing down along the sidewalk, but the bull was in the middle of them. She got inside the fence, but her father centinued to walk along, and when the bull got near her father he low- ered his head and made a move to- ward her father, pushing him up against the fence, and her father push- ed the bull away with his knee, Hor- ace Rood began to use vile names. George Rood was in the house and Horace called him out. Both swore a good deal and called her father bad names. Her testimony on cross ex- amination could not be shattered. Mrs. Lynch Testifies. Mrs. Lynch, the wife of the accused testified to being out side the hous sweeping the walk leading to the sid walk; her husband and daughter went up the road, as has been indicated by | a former witness, and that another| daughter, Mary, was out in the yard | and in plain view of all that occurred. Mrs. Lynch told of her husband’s in- jury, received at the point of the bull's *orn, and of her husband’s subsequent iliness. She gave a clear description of the surroundings and the manner in w! the cattle came down the sidew: Told also of her daughter, who was with her father, going under the fence | to avoid the approaching cattle. Her testimony could not be changed on cross examination. Patient Was Black and Blue. Dr. Frank E, Guild of Windham tes- tified to having been called to treat Mr. Lynch twice within- 24 hours or such a matter once lust summer ana that he saw a black and blue spot in Mr. Lynch’s right groin that he said could have been caused by a bull's horn. Mr, Lynch's subsequent iliness, a bowel trouble, cuuld be caused by the effects of such an encounter. He could not state the date positively, but was sure that it was last summer, Miss Mary Lynch, the next witness, testifled to being 15 years old and a daughter of the accused; she attend- ed the Willimantic normal school, and last summer on the day in question was not doing anything in the line of work, but came out into the yard be- tween the houses and walking toward the sidewalk, near- where her mother was, saw the affair with the bull as related by previous witnesses for the defense. Witness was subjected to a severe and exasperating cross exami- nation, but made no statements that were detrimental to her direct testi- mony. Concerning Bull Calves. Richard Watrous stated that he had ‘been a resident of Windham eight years and that he had a bull calf| born on November 30, 1906, and that same had been given by him to the Roods a matter of three weeks ther after. Said that he kept all records in a book. for that particular purpose, especially reiating to all transactions in cattle and the time of their birth: Mr. Watrous said that possibly he had | given another bull calf to the Roods scme two months ago and that with | .. the previous one were the only ones that they had ever had from him. John G. Lynch was then sworn; had lived In Windham practically all hi life, or for a period of 46 years. was 51 years old. Had charge of the Dr. Thompson summer residence and was superintendent of that property in the absence of the owners. His story of the approaching cattle and the man- ner in which he was injured and the way his daughter crawled beneath the fence to avoid the cattle, of which she was afrald, was substantially as pre- vious witnesses for the defense had stated. He said that the bull had shawed signs of ugliness at previous times and came into his yard on sev- era] occasions. When he had pushed the bull away from him with his knee | after the bull had gored him with it<| left horn he said that he had told Rood that unless he kept the bull off the sidewalk he would have him arrested Rood had replied “the bull has as much right to the sidewalk and more than any damned Irishman.” The state furtively attempted to be- fuddle witness but could not succeed as he gave a rational and clear story. | Mr. Lynch said that he was out nf' work for about nine days following the encounter with the bull and that he was sick as a result of same, or inti- mated that gsuch were the facts in the case, which seemed entirely plausible and reasonable after what Dr. Guild had testified to earlier in the day. The defense had one more witness to examine, but court was adjourned at 6.10 o'clock until 9 o’clock this morn- Ing. The judge excused the jury until Ghe Willimantic Savings Institute Progressive conservatism is the real key- note of American Industrial achievement, That is the quality bank --because it implies solidity and strength---and that is the dominant char- acteristic of this particular bank---one of the strongest in the commonwealth of Connecticut.
