CRIMINAL ASSRMULT CASE IN SUPERIOR COURT. Daniel Gore is Charged With Serious Offense, to Which He Pleaded Not Guilty—S8tatement of the Complain- ant. \ There was only one case before the criminal superior court here on Tues- day, it being the case of the state vs. Daniel Gore, who is charged with rape upon Marie A. Jackson, aged about 15, June 12, 1911. He was arrested on a bench warrant, the case coming over from last term. Ten jurors having been challenged in ther case by the attorneys, two talesmen were necessary, and Daniel Preston and Frederick Tyler were se- cured. The accused, who s a young man, was arrested on a bench warrant last June and has been ount under bonds. He rleaded not guilty to the charge. A young woman upon whom he is said to be walting occupled a chair near the counsel during much of the trial Tuesday. Civil Engineer Pltcher was the first witness for the state, and he explained a map of the locality where the affair took place. It is alleged that there had been a lawn party at the home of Al- bert Miner, Bean Hill, at which the complainant and accused were present. After the young woman had left the others she was attacked by Gore, it is claimed. It was the testimony of Susie E. Pitcher and Hattie L. Chapman that the two were at the lawn party last June, and Harold E. Linderson testi- fled to being at the party. He went home with Mabel Corri- geux. Helen Corrigeux also testified. Marie Jackson testified that she had left geverai in a group at the McNally place, Bean Hill, saying she was not afrald to go home alone, on the night of the attack. Gore was in the party. She had not gone far when he caught up to her and put his arms about her and asked her to go with him. She refused, but he pulled her along and she was so frightened that she could not holler. Bhe resisted as much as she could. He put his hand over her mouth. He tried to drag her into a barn, but she sat down and then he pulled her up Vergason Hill, and she claimed the assault took place in a lot which she described on the map. She pleaded with him to let her go. She was under crose examination when court closed for the day, to re- sume the trial this morning. On Triday there will be a session of the civil court for assignment of cases, but no short calendar matters will be taken ap. FUNERALS. Jossph W. Storrs. The funeral of Joséph W.

Impossible to Get Through Except to the Riverside Shipyard. The ice embargo in Thames river is on, and Allyn’s Poeint, the coal ship- ping station for the w York, New Haven and Hartford rallroad, is locked up tight, as far as all prac- tical purposes are concerned. The shipyard at Riverside is accessible by a channel being kept open. The ice on the river near the Thames draw- bridge measures 51-2 inches. At Allyn’s point three big ship barges and a schooner are discharged and await tugs to tow them down. Tug Gertrude started up Tuesday morn- nig for that purpose, but after bucking the lower edge of the ice near the bridgt, found she could make no im. pression and gave it up. The oni only other steamer capable of plowing through the ice i8 the Tasco, and it is expected that the ship owners, who are interested in either getting hulls down from the Point or getting loaded dulls there, will combine to get the use of the big steamer in breaking out a path.

Proposition Considered the Best Nor- wich Has Had—Much Enthusiasm Over Raising the Necessary Fund. The chief topic of conversation on Tuesday was the proposition as set forth in The Bulletin of getting the American Thermos, Bottle companv to locate its plant in this city. Every- where could be heard the arguments in faver of contributing to such an as- sociation as will be formed to erect the bullding and secure the land. It is the best proposition Norwich ever had presented to it in the indus- trial line, said one citizen, and the op- portunity should not be allowed to go by default. There were a number of earnest advocates of the idea on Tues- day and there were not a few who were confildent that Norwich would not falter in raising the necessary money to clinch the deal, inasmuch as Phila- delphia, Cincinnati and Pougkeepsie afl want the plant. W. F. Hill has been enthusiastically working in behalf of t-- proposition and has already secured two signatures to the plan of organizing an industrial improvement association. The first signer was the Eaton-Chase company and the second is James B. Shannon, each taking one share or contributing $760 to the association. Theke has been no solicitation of contributions up to now, but today Mr. Hiil and others will make a push along that line, and it is expected that there will be a long list of contributors be- fore the meeting next Monday night. ‘With but a month in which to do the work, those back of it feel that as the proposition has merit they will have no trouble in securing the conmtributions. The company has agreed to come if Norwich does its part, and there re- main just exactly thirty days in which to do it, so that a trifle over three signatures a day will be required. The committee will center all their ener- givs upon the matter and they are conildent of success. The officers of the Thermos company are: William B, Waiker, president; Patrick F.

But the f was en- should be amnfied by the department |, leaders, It is the place of the super- the song recital given by essandr) Bonei at Efi Interest in the famoug tenor been generally aroused and he was greet ed by an audierce larger than even the previous success of this ¥ Academy musical course—the zaley quartette—had called out, reminding one of the evening Madam Schumann-Heinck sang hi An enthusiastic audience it was, for who could resist the power an beauty of Signor Bonci’s voice and his masterly command of his art. His perfect enunciation is delightful and at once marks him as an artist in the musical world, But more noticeable even is his perfact breath control and the freedom ind ease of his sweet, limpid tones, his beautiful phrasing and cxcellent style. His programme was a generous one and included songs of Italian, French, German and English composers. Pergolesi, Taydn, Gluck’ and Cariselmi were represent- ed in the first group. The second was composed entirely of English songs by Cadman, Rogers and De Koven, These were enthusiastically applauded and Signor Bonei recall until he responded with the liar song, Hark, Hark, the Lark at Heaven's Gate Sings, He was most generous with encore numbers and Chi vuol Ia Zingarella, by Paisicllo, followed his beautiful rendering of the Grand Aria from Matrimonio Segreto, by Cima- rosa. Robert E. Francini was his skilful accompanist and the next selection was o plano solo by Mr. Francinl, Overture to Mignon, by Thomas, fol- lowed by Guarany by Gomez as encore number. Another delightful group by Signor Bonct were from David, Chaminade and Massenet and showed varlety and dramatic power. Vociferous ap- plause was given and a third addi- tional selection was La tua bell alma by Thomas. Songs by Monteflore, Mascagni and Leoncavalla followed, and the closing song was Cielo e Mar by Amilcare-Ponchielli. It was a thor- oughly enjoyable concert—the musical event of the winter—and thanks are due to the promoters for giving the chanee to renew the acquaintance with Signor Bonci now that he is not available at the grand opera. The signora was also present at the re- cital and those who had the pleasure of meeting her found her a charming little lady. From here they go to Toronto, POLI'S THEATER HAS BEEN LEASED FOR CLANCY For a Term of Two to Three Years and He Takes Charge on Monday— Contrels Booking Agency.
