General William Williams of Norwich was wont to visit this city, where he had a relative whose home was on the corner of Granite and Williams streets. When the weather was warm he would sit on the veranda facing Williams street, and one day he re- marked that he thought the plot of ground opposite and bounded by four streets would be a good place for a park, adding that he would buy the piace of Tom Fitch and give it to the which he did, paying Fitch 00. | I* was evident in the deed that Fitch zave the general that the grantor, too, had thought of the plot for park pur- poses and ‘reserved to myself the right to have the tract conveyed for- ever without any house, public or pri- vate, built thereon and to remain an cpen square.” Career of General Williams, The history of New London county dwells on the life of General Williams as follows: General Willlams was { born in Stonington March 12, 1788.

Young, who delivered the opening addréss to the jury, said that the defense would be insanity. The attorney talked in. a loud voice ,and this had an unnerving effect, appar- ently, on the prisoner, who wept ' at times. At the end of the attorney’s address Spencer asked him not to talk so loud the next time he spoke. Attorney Young reviewed the ances- try of the:prisoner, going back as far as the great-grandparents on both sides. Attorney General Swift object- ed to this evidence, but it was allowed by the cou-t. Mr. Young said that on both sides there had been mental de- ranzement, and the defendant’s fath- er, Wilbur L. Spencer, had. an’ ungov- | ernable temper, which had resulted in | the defendant receiving many beatings | while a young boy living in Lebanon, Conn. At the age of 17, the attorney said, Spencer was seized ‘with a fit of mel- ancholia and attempted to commit sui- side by taking poison. The defense desired to produce summary of the report of the superin tendent of the Bridgewater insane asy- lum, where Srencer was sent for ob- servation after his arrest, but this was objected to by Attorney General Swift, and the objection was sustained by the presiding judge. The prosecution was successful to- day in placing before the jury an al. leged confession secured by the police from Spencer, in which it appeared that he admitted that it was he who robbed the home of Mrs. Sarah J. Dow on the night of March 31, 1910, and =hot and killed Miss Blackstone. The alleged confession was put in first in the form of testimony by Captain John . Boyle of the Springfield detective ) bureau. Later other witnesses certi- fled regarding it. * TWO DAYS' SALE AT SPIRITUAL ACADEMY Helping Hands Have Large Attend- ance on Opening Day. with all their usual skill in ar- 1anging for an aitractive display at their annaal fairs and numerous new and noticeable features in addition, the Helping Hands opened a two-day sale at tine Spiritual academy on Park sireet on Wednesday afternoon at 2.30 ‘clock, and were kept busy throug! out the afternoon and evening in at- tending to the wants of the many pat- rcns.
