Improvements at Telephone Exchange. “ It is rumored that the common bat- tery system will be installed in this division of the Southern New BEngland- ‘Telephone company this summer. It is also said a number of alterations will be made in the central office Dbuilding on Mechanics street. All-Day Electric Service Probable. If a sufficlent number of contracts can be secured, electric current will be furnished during the entire day and night. It is understood that two of the local mills now using about thirty horse power each will use the electric power instead of steam. This much needed day service will greatly benefit Danielson and its citizens. New gen- erators are to be installed at the power house on Mechanics street. They will be of the 60 cycle type.

Andem Again Questioned Concerning Mortgage. Superior court opened Thursday morning at ten o’clock. Attorney Tor- rey "concluded his examination of Mr. Aronld, the first ‘witness called in the case of George F. Holbrook, trustee, vs. Clinton Andem. Mr. Torrey placed in evidence as an exhibit in the case the mortgage given by Arnold to Mr. Andem, covering 17 tracts of land in Putnam, with the accompanying note for $23,000. Mr. Searls, for the defence, cross examined Mr. Arnold. A Napoleon of Finance. In answer to Mr. Searl's questions as to his various occupations up to the time he was declared a bankrupt in October, 1910, Mr, Arnold stated that he was 54 years old and from the time he left school until he was twenty vears of age he taught school. He then entered the employ of the Grosvenordale company, intending to learn the business. He started in the machine shop and worked in various other rooms until about 1895, when he entered the office of the company as payroll clerk. He had bought and sold stocks and bonds 7or himself ard family from the time he was 22 vears old and in 1902 he left the employ of the Grosvenordale company and took desk room in a corner of the Thomp- son bank room, in Putnam. . Between the years of 1502 and 1910 he grad- ually acquired all of the Thompson bank building, which is a three-story block, and had offices in Keene, N. H., ‘Whitinsville, Mass.,, and Danielson. How His Money Was Made. He first purchased real estate in Putnam In 1904, when he purchased the Methodist church property on Elm street. Since that time he acquired various other properties in Putnam and other places, with the purpose, as he said, of having a dollar in real es- tate for every one he invested from money taken on participating ao- count He paid E. M. Wheaton $42,000 for houses erected on a tract of land fac- ing Grove street and erected green- houses on Farrows street at a cost, exclusive of the land, of $3,500. Policies Aggregate $250,000, As business grew more prosperous, he gradually took on life insurance, until he carried policles aggregating a quarter of a million dollars, payable to his estate, as he said, to protect his creditors in the event of his death. Why the Mortgage Was Given. Mr. Searls then question Arnold in regard to the circumstances surround- ing the giving of the mortgage. Mr. Arnold said that Mr. Andem had nev- er asked for any security, but that he (Arnold) thought that Andem ought to,be secured as to the large amount already invested before being called upon for any more. He mentioned the matter to Mrs. Andem in March, 1910, but Andem only smiled, as much as to say that he thought matters were all right as they were. However, as Arnold was returning from Webster, Mass., on June 1, 1910, he 'stopped at the office of the Grosvenordale com- pany and saw Mr. Andem in regard to the matter again. At this time, Mr. Andem was willing to take a mortgage and, as both he and Mr. Ar- nold were to be away during the fol- lowing few days, he agreed to come to Putnam at once in Mr, Arnold’s automobile to have the matter at- tended to. Arriving in Putnam, as it was after 6 p. m.,. Mr. Andem dined with Mr. Arnold at his home and in the evening went to the office of At- torney Frank F. Russell, Mr. Arnold's attorney. There the various deeds of Mr. Arnold’s property were exam- ined and Mr, Russell was directed to put a savings bank valuation on each plece of property; that is, Mr. Andem was to take n mortgage on each piece of property at one-half of a conserv- ative valuation above any encum- brances already attached. Seventeen Tracts Selected. Seventeen tracts were selected which at a savings bank value aggregated then $22,300, and it was left with Mr. Rus- sell to draw the mortgage deed on the morrow, As they came down the stairs from the office, Mr. Arnold re- marked that matters were now ar- ranged as he wished and that he would now feel justified in calling up- on Mr. Andem for money whenever he needed it. What He Told Andem. ‘Mr. Bearls questioned Arnold as to any statements made by him at any time which would lead Mr. Andem tu believe that Arnold’s business was prosperous and would negative any idea on Mr. Andem’s part that Arnold was in a failing condition and he drew out that Arnold had told Mr. Andem on the first of January, 1910, and perhaps on the first of June, 1910, hoped within two years to is- sue a statement to his customers showing $2 assets to each $1 of lia- bllity. He also stated that he held a contract which controlled 'the ticker service from the stock for Putnam, He said that he told Mr. Andem that his house rents netted him 14 per cent. on his mvestment and that.as a mat- ter of fact they had always netted more. He never told Andem that he was pressed for money and denied that there was any run on him in May, 1910, but that customers called upon him as usual. How He Charged Up His Expenses. valuation of Ar- Mr. 0 Harvey, he testified the real property was appraised at $94,000, the person- alty at $2,000, and that there were a number of stocks and bonds that were absolutely worthless. Town Clerk Flagg Called. David Flagsg, town clerk and treas- urer,” was then called. He testified |’ that Mr. Andem called at his office June 1, 1910, between 4 and 5 p. m., #sked what time the office closed and stated that he was having a deed ¢(rawn which he would want recorded, He said that the following day Mr. Andem telephoned him from New Hampshire and asked if the deed had been entered for record. It had not, ?;xlto was brought to the office June 3, When Account Was First Overdrawn. Mr. Torrey called G, Harold Gil- patric, who testified that for the past two years he has been cashier of the First National bank of Putnam. He stated that Mr. Arnold had an active account at that bank and that there were deposits and withdrawals al- most daily. There was no trouble with Arnold’s account, other than would be taken care of during the day, until the month of May, 1910. At that time a check of Arnold’'s payable to Andem for $1,600, came to the Putnam bank and there were no funds to meet it, It was held two days and then paid by a deposit, among which was a check from Andem for $1,650, payable to Arnold. At this point Mr. Gilpatric wag ex- cused to get some records from the bank, and C. Fred Waterman was called. He stated that he was agent of the 'French River Textile company, and had done business with Arnold. Some of his notes matured in April and May, but although he called on Arnold several times he was unable to obtain payment. Arnold’s total in- debtedness to himself and his brother was $4,200, of which he was paid $1,600 on June 1, 1910, through Attor- ney John F. Carpenter. Held Arnold’s Note. Thomas Rawley was called. He said that previous to April, 1910, he held Arnold’s note for $700. At that time he added 3300, and took a new note for $1,000. On June 1, 1910, Arnold owed him $5,000, of which some has been paid since. C. S, Andem Ag: on the Stand. Mr. Harvey at this point called the defendant, C. 8. Andem. Mr. Andem stated that he was agent of the Gros- venordale company and has lived in North Grosvenordale for the past 8 years. He commenced dealing with Arnold in 1906 and since that time has paid Arnold by check $5,607.27. He does not know what he paid in cash nor has he any record of what he re- ceived from Arnold. At the time the mortgage was given on June 1, 1910, Arnold owed him $22,642.89. He said he did not ask for the mortgage but was glad to get it. He denied that there was any agreement between himself and Arnold that no account or record should be kept of their tran- sactions. He also said that he did not know that his check of May 25, 1910, to Arnold for $1,650 paid Ar- nold’s check of May 20 for $1,600, payable to himself, Adjournment Taken. Mr. Harvey had not concluded his examination of Mr. Andem when court adjourned at 4.45 p. m. to 10 o’clock this (Friday) morning, when short cal- endar matters will be taken up. FUNERAL.
