SMITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ct. . d Reminiggences A delightful affair took place at the ‘Wauregan house on Thi evening, at the regular monthly meeting of Branch No. 20 of the Letter Carriers’ association, when Major William A. ‘Wells was the host and entertained in honor of the completion of thirty years in the seryice of Uncle Sam. On May 1st he started his thiriy fArst year in the Norwich postoffice, having been carrier for many years, and he is now record clerk of the free delivery, be- ing one of the maost popular members of the local postoffice force. They had as guests Postmaster Wil- liam. Caruthers and Assistant Post- master Arthur 1. Peale. Following the fine lunch, Major Wells acting as toastmaster, there was 2 general par- ticipation by the 22 in attendance, and reminiscences were the order of the evening. The younger carriers were given some idea of the hardships of the early days, when the office was not run on the system it is now and the employes were obliged to put in all kindg of hours, working until every- thing was done. It is 26 years since the free delivery was started in this eit. but one carrier who was on the force then. Herman S. Case started in a carrier and has beem in the service ever since.

CONTESTED DIVORCE CASE IN SUPERIOR COURT Evidence Ail Completed and One Ar- gument Made—Mrs. Williams Did Not Testify. S The civil superior court was occu- pied all day Thursday with the trial | of the case of Burtis Williams vs. Martha A. Williams of New London, a contested divorce case, in which there were but few witnesses, all of the testimony and one argument be- ing completed during the day. Mr. Williams asks for a divorce on the grounds of adultery, while in a cross complaint Mrs, Williams claims her husband committed adultery, was cruel and habitually intemperate. She wants a divorce, custody of the son, and alimony, claiming her husband is worth $6,000. The son sat with his mother during the trial with his hand on her shoulder part of the time. Dur- ing the arguments Mrs. Williams seemed quite elated over some of the remarks made ‘¢ Attorney Geary. She is a large woman and the husband a medium sized man. Mr. Williams in his testimony de- clared he was 49 years of age, and said that as a silk dyer he earned $2.75 a day in New London. He married Martha Griswold January 1, 1881, and they have one son, Leo Burtis Will-® iams, aged 17. On the night of Decem- ber 23, 1907, he told of being called from his sister’s home to a point in Division street where he met Sheniff Martin and a man named Ireland, the former having been employed by him. They went to a house kept by a wo- man named Marx, but whose name is now Bailey. Mr. Williams was admit- ted and talked with the woman and she said there was no one in her house as did a man who was called. Getting a lamp they went to look and found men occupying two rooms. The door of a third was locked and upon rapping a woman’s voice inquired what was wanted. The Marx womaM said there was a mar wanted to get in. The woman inside was Mrs. Williams and she wanted to know who the man was, but was not informed. Mr. Williams was unable to force the door and call- ed for an axe. The raising of a win- dow was heard and running outside Mr. Williams saw a man jump over a fence and run away. Returning to the house, the door of the room was opened, and Mrs. Williams, fully dressed, came out with her cloak on her arm. She made no reply when her husband asked her what she was doing there. On cross examination Mr. Williams said that he and his wife had not co- habited for six years previous to De- cember 23, 1907, though they lived in the same house, Since then he has not lived there. He had told his wife he would catch her. He admitted that he drank beer, and had been drunk, but lost no time at his work.

He said he had heen arrested for beating h's wife, | He s=aid thal Mr. but the case was nolled. his son does mot speak to him. Williams denied visiting houses of ill | repute. Mr. Williams declared that his wife | came home at all hours of the night, | and had told him she wouldn’'t be boss- ed by her husband. She seldom got breakfast for him and most of his meals were eaten alone. The boy, he said, hung around the house @revious to his leaving. Sheriff Martin told of his visit to the Marx house, and said he was in the yard when a light complexioned man jumped out of the window and ran away, He at once ran into the house and saw Mrs. Williams come out of the room. She was flustrated but fully clothed. The sheriff had hired others to help him get evidence against Mrs. Willlams. Mrs. Elizabeth J. Bailey testified to keeping the house and said that she let a light® complexioned man of good size into the house, but did not know how Mrs. Williams got in, as she did not let her in. Mr. Bailey testified similarly. This completed the testi- mony for the plaintiff. In ‘defense, the deposition of George Ball, aged 23, of Boston, was read, showing that on a certain even- ing he met Mr. Williams in a house of bad repute in New London. He is a cousin of Mrs. Williams. He told Mrs. Williams when he went home, and when Mr. Williams came home there was trouble. Ball denied ing a ring from his uncle, but said his aunt gave it to him. He admitted he had been in New London jail and said he had been to reform school. Ball denjed making up a story about his uncle Policeman F. A. Manchester told of arresting Mr. Williams one night, but he was allowed to go as Mrs. Williams withdrew her charge. She was excit- ed, but Mr. Williams was cool at the time. Policeman White of New Lon- don told of being called to the Wil liams house in 1906, when Mrs. Wil- liams said she had been beaten. Mr. ‘Williams denied it. 'Mr. Williams had been drinking and he had seen him in that condition before. Mr. Williams complained because his wife wouldn’t wash 'his cloths. He satd Mr. Wil- llams is a peaceable man. The room didn’t look well kept and the bed was not made up. He would not say that Mrs. Williams drank. John A. Griswold, Mrs. Williams’ ‘brother, told of talking with Mr. Wil- liamg about the divorce case and also to coming to this city with him. Mr. ‘Williams insisted on going to a house of ill fame. He went with him, but stuyed only a short time, but Mr. Wil- liams wouldn't come away. He went to call on the Ryan brothers here. He told of seeing Mr. Williams under the influence of liquor. He has known the pilaintiff thirty years, and he had been asked by him about curing a loathsome disease. He He claimed his wife | steal- | at one time heard Mrs. Williams scream after Mr. Williams had en- tered his home. The witness testified he had been married three times, and does not know where one of his wives is, and had been arrested for non- support. Leo Willlams, the son, testified that his parents had had trouble as long as he could remember. He said his fath- er refused his mother an allowance of | $1.50 a week because she wouldn't wash his undenclothes on account of his condition. He said his father rank to excess, and he had heard his father tell his mother she was but a servant and that they could each go their own way. Mrs. Willlams was not called to the witness stand at all. The evidence be- ing completed, Attorney Geary made his argument, which was completed at 4.15, and court was then adjourned until this morning, when, after the short calendar session, the remaining arguments will be made.
