Wood Alcohol in Samples of Whiskey Responsible for Fourteen Recent Deaths—Attorney General Orders Inquest in Riley Case—Horace Vose Amonrg Witnesses in Superior Court Case of Conway vs. Town. e v ‘The superior court for Washington county, Judge Christopher M. Lee, came in at Westerly Thursday morn- ing at 9.30, ready to proceed with the trial of the case of Thomas and Mar- garet Conway against the town of Westerly, for alleged damage by over- flow of surface water to their prop- erty in Tower street. Upon motion of Attorney Rathbun of counsel for plaintiff, the court and jury visited the scene of the alleged damages, return- ing to the court room at 10.45. Mrs., Margaret Conway testified that when she bought the property in Tow- er street, fourteen years ago, there were no houses there. Soon thereafter she had erected the house in which she now resides, built a second house five yvears ago and a third house two years ago. The surface water had always flowed from the highway over her land, but the volume had materially Increased, causing damage within the past five years, since there had been change in the grade of highway and since she built the second house and driveway. Every time there was heavy rain _her property was overflowed do- ing damage to the driveway and grad- ing and in consequence of this over- flow of water one of the houses has been tenantless since last Christmas. She said that during the past five vears the property had been damaged to the amount of $200 or $300. To queries from Attorney Barney, of counsel for the town, Mrs. Conway testified that she filled in some of the land twelve years ago and cleared away brush to build two of the houses. Vose's pond was opposite her property and the natural outlet was through her land> and when the pond was filled considerable water flowed through the diteh she had built, When she built two of the houses they were below the street level. When the highway grade was changed in front of her property, the water damagg became greater than before. Mrs. Conway said the place was a swamp when she bought it and that the cellars of the three houses were quite damp. Elihu Chesebro, suvervisor of high- vays, testified that the road in front of the Conway property had been “crowned up” about five years ago, and that the change thus made was no upon the Conway land than before, but that changes made in the Conway property tended to distribute water in different directions, instead of letting it all empty into the swamp as it had always done. Charles Ferrara and Thomas Will- iams testified that considerable surface water flowed upon the Conway prop- erty, but in their opinion no more than did prior to the improvement of- the highway five years ago. Horace Vose was called to the wit- ness stand and when asked his age, Stop That Cold To check early colds or Grippe with *“Preventies™ means sure defeat for Pneumonia.

I UMENT Before purchasing it’s to your interest to corre- spond with me. Manufacturer and Builder, . Wriee i Hopkinton; | arov residence and occupation, testified that he was 70 years of age May 12, had lived in Westerly 70 years, was a farm- er, dealt in horses and cattle, and had bought, sold turkeys and given away a few of the very best. He had known the Conway property for sixty years; it was located directly opposite a pond owned by witness. He said that when the pond was filled to overflowing the natural outlet was on the Conway property and that of course when there was heavy rain more water than usual went in the Conway property. Mrs. Conway had called his attention to the driveway between two of her hous- es, which had been quite badly wash- ed away by water from the highway. More water goes on her land since im- provements had ‘been made in the highay than before. The property is very low and land. ‘When the testimony for plaintiff was concluded, Attorney Barney, of coun- sel for town, asked that the jury be requested to leave the court room, and Judge Lee gaye the jurors a brief re- cess in the custody of the court offi- cers. Attorney Barney made a motion for non-suit, which Judge Lee granted. Mr. Barney claimed that the plain- tif’'s own testimony does not even support the declaration in any way. The declaration says that water was turned on to the Conway premises by the cutting down of the highway and by the digging of holes beside the highway, and there is no evidence whatever to support the <declaration. Mrs. Conway when she built the sec- ond house and driveway prevented the water from going in the same way as before and that it was her own fauit if the water had been changed from the natural course to flow on her land at more than one point. Attorney Rathbun said the declara- tion was not confined to the cutting down of the highway, but declared the damage to have been caused by change of grade in the highway, as well, and guoted authority in support of his claim. s Judge Lee stated that the authority quoted was based on the collection of water from a wide area by reason of change of grade, but in this case there was no collection of water, which comes down both hills, just as it did before the highway was improved, and comes down and goes on to the land of plaintiff, The judge said the town of Weste: was entitled to non-suit, and counc for plaintiff filed excep- tion. Conway swampy At the opening of the afternoon ses- sion of court the case of Salvatore Salameno against Frank W. Coy was called for trial, Judge John W. Swee- ney appearing for plaintiff and Attor- neys Burdick and Davis for defendant. This is an action for damages caused by collision between a vehicle driven by Frank W. Coy and one driven by Joshua R. Rober, the plaintiff being in the latter’s vehicle. The collision occurred In Elm street, between 6 and 7 o'clock on the evening of November 4 last. The declaration states that the collision was due to the careless and reckless driving of Mr. Coy, who did not keep on the right of the cen- ter of the road and was driving at a speed beyond the regular traveling pace. It is claimed that Salameno was severely injured and has been un- able to do his customary work since that time and is enisled to substan- tial damages. Two other men in @ vehicle with Salameno at time of col- ion were also injured, but their claims are not under consideration at this time. The following named ju- rors are empaneled for the trial of the ca Horace B. Northrop, Lowls Anthony, Charles BE. May, Andrew R. Peck, Al- bert R. Clarke, South Kingstown; Ed- win C. James, North Kingstown; Thomas Breen_ Charles Craig, Wester— (B} Herbert Wilcox of Charlestown: Harry G. Kenyon, Ernest A. Boss of Herbert E. Kenyon of Narragansett. Joshua R. Robar testified he was a a farmer in the employ of S. J. Reu- ter & Son, and was on Elm street No- vember 4, in a two-seated canopy-top wagon, with one seat removed. Wit- ness was driving and Salvatore Sala- meno was on the seat with him. He aw a vehicle coming towards him very rapidly, the ‘horse being driven by Frank W. Coy. Witness shouted to Mr. Coy to “turn out,” and witness his horse upon the sidewalk to the right, the vehicle being close to the curb. Then there was a collision and both vehicles were overturned. Mr. | Salameno was thrown out with the other occupants. Mr. Coy was also thrown from his vehicle. All were in- jured. On ,*as examination, Mr. Robar said thfre were two men and a pig in the wagon with him, and that one of the men was Salameno. Did not know the driver of the other horse was Mr. Coy until after the collision and then Mr. Coy was lying apparently unconscious- in the street. ‘Witness was positive that Salameno was thrown out, but could not tell whether he struck on his head, feet or side. Witness himself was thrown under the wagon and Salameno helped right the vehicle and get witness out. When i first saw the, vehicle coming him he supposed the driver was Louis Reuter, but he afterwards knew the driver was. Mr. Coy when he saw him in the road. At the time of collision the horse Mr. Robar was driving was going at the rate of about three miles an hour, while Mr. Coy was driving at a three-minute clip. Mr. Saiameno, the plaintiff, testified that he had lived in Westerly nine years, and was a laborer, earning $1.50 a day. He had known Mr. Robar four vears and was with him at the time of the collision, and George Sanco was also in the wagon and the pig. The two wagons came together and the oc- cupants of both were thrown out. Ro- bar’s wagon was close to the curbp on the right side of the road and was moving slowly when the collision oc- curred. The other horse came towards them very fast and could not be stop- ped by the driver. Witness said he was mnot injured very much, but was hurt on boih sides, but he had to go to work, although not able, for fear he would lose the job, as Robar could not work. Two or three davs after the mishap his pains were more severe, but he managed to keep at work. ITe said he had nothing to do with the! driving of the team, and that the team that ran into the team which the wit- ness in part occupied, was driven by Mr. Coy. At the time of the accident witness was in the employ of S. J. Reuter & Son, and besides the three men there was a pig in a bag in the wagon. The pig belonged to witness. The street lamps were lighted when the collision occurred and witness co see the approaching team two hundred feet away, and Mr. Coy was driving very fast. When the Robar wagon tipped over, witness fell upon Robar and wag- on fell on witness, who afterwards helped to right the wagon, with the other two men. He did not know whether the seat was fastened to the wagon. WD . Atterney Burdick asked- what be- pecial session Th '!nnvfined In response to a query from Attorney Burdick the witness said he carried the pig home on his back right after the ion. , ‘George Sanco, the third man in“the Robar wagon, testified that besides the men there was a pig two months old on one seat in the wagon, Robar and Salameno were on the seat and witness was in back of wagon with the pig. He corroborated the testi- mony of the other witnesses as to the speed and position of both vehicles at the time of collision, and of the throw- ing out of the occupants. One of the wheels of the wagon was on Salame- no’s shoulder when overturned. He first saw Mr. Coy’s team about sixty feet distant. When Salameno was thrown he was struck by the for- ward wheel of the wagon on the right side. Witness saw Salameno wlien he | was thrown out. at the time witness ‘was out of the wagon on the ground, as he and Robar were thrown out first. At this point the state rested, and the first witness called for defendant was Dr. J. Devere Barber, who had made examination of Salameno Thurs- day afternoon. Judge 4.ee stated that defendant 'does not claim any perms nent injury, but for pain and suffer- ing and that the testimony of the doc- tor was not essential to the case. The jury was retired at the request of Attorney Burdick, who made mo- tion that the court direct the jury to bring in_ verdict for defendant, but this motion was quickly withdrawn, and the case goes to the jury without testimony for defendant. Court adjourned to 9.30 o’clock, Fri- day morning when the arguments will be commenced, forty minutes being al- lotted to each side. The hearing in_the ‘cases of John QCisco and his wife, Caterino Cisco, charged with manslaughter in causing the death of Daniel T. Sullivan, in selling the alleged fatal dose of whis- key that was poisoned by wood alcohol was assigned for Friday morning in the Third district court. By agree- ment of counsel for state and defend- ant the hearing has been continued by Judge Williams for two weeks, by rea- son of the superior court being in ses- sion. It is said that the Ciscos will claim that if the whiskey contained wood alcohol it was without their knowledge and that whatever whiskey was in their possession at that particular time was purchased from a Norwich liquecr dealer. Secretary John E. Groff of the Rhode Island food and rug comm on, whose analyses of samples of whiskey secured in Westerly resulied in the finding of fifty per cent. of wood al- cohol in one of the samples, has filed with Attorney General Greenough a written report of his findings. Secretary Groff declares that puri- fied wood alcohol and Columbian spir- its were deadly poisons, and-adds that there is a lack of knowledge not only among drinking men but among many of those engaged’ in selling alcoholic drinks regarding wood alcohol. Proba- bly the words “purified wood alcohol” has something to do with it. Wood alcohol, he says, whether it is crude and impre, or whether it is pure, is a !

People who are willing to risk it appear to think that if purified wood alcohol is used, whether it be under the name of Columbia spirits, or some other name, is safe, because it is pure. Such, however, he adds. is not the case. Purified wood alcohol is of a different composition from ordinary al- cohol. Purification does not change it in any form and it is a deadly poisorr. Attorney General Greenough has in- structed George H. Cross, coroner for the town of Charlestown, to hold an inquest next Tuesday in the death of Michae] Riley, who died from wood al- cohol poisoning. This is the case where it is alleged that the poisoned whis- key was purchased from John Di Fon- ti, who pleaded guilty to the maintain- ing a liquor nuisance.
