Tbe girl was on the stand for more than an hour, and she accused Button of deeds vile beyond imagination. Button took the stand in his own be- half and unfiinchingly denied having ever taken any liberties with the child and protested that all his kind- | nesses toward her were simply in the | spirit of charity. Court came in at § o'clock for But- | ton’s hearing. The court usually sits | in the court room in School street and | no change in plan was announced, but | the court was held Thursday at the | town hall in Poquonoc. Apparently this was done to keep curiosity seekers out of the court and to make the embar- | rassment of the parties as little as pos- sible. The hearing was held with prac- tically no onlookers and had it been held in the regular court room there would have been a full house of those who find interest in the morbid details of such cases. There were many per- sons waiting around School street for court to open. Claims Button Gave Her Money. The Barraclough girl was the first witnesse called. She said she was 13 years old and would be 13 next July. She said she first met Button about two years ago, when she went to his tailoring shop, then located in the old Central hall building. The girl said she went thers to have the aleeves of her coat shortened. Button charged her for the work and asked her why she didn’t come down once in a while to see him. She said she went down the next day. Button took liberties with her at that time and gave her money. She sald she had frequently been in his shop ever since and that he always Nicholas Duer of High street, Mystic. | He is employed at the Chester Main ! to leave home at 6.45 in the morning was found Wednesday by the state po- | { then call on the other men before go- looks 15 years | was bound over for trial by ' bonds of $1,000, and the same man who | | tomer. !

One day, she tes- tified, she collected $3 and every day collected from 50 cents to $1.50. ‘The Barraclough girl said that she néver told —anything about these in- | cidents to anyone except the girls she ! went with, until Prosecuting Attorney ; Burrows, Constable Foley and Select- { man Holarldge came to ask her about | them, She said later she told ev- | erything to Miss Peacock, the village | nurse. The girl sald she used to hide the money she collected under the steps of her home, and would go there and get it as she wanted it, buying candy, ice cream and soda. She said she used and go first to Amos Parks’ store and ing to school, and in the afternoon after school would visit others of the men she has implicated. Button on the Stand. .

He once gave Mrs, Barraclough money for the moving pictures, she having asked him for it. He denied the testimony of the Bar- raclough girl that she went one Sun- day morning before church to the tailor shop. Button said every Sunday morning he works on his auto, and has been in his tailor shop but one | Sunday morning this fall, and then to get a suit to deliver in Westerly to Herbert Sweeney. Violet Bergman Didn’t Testify. Attorney Burrows summoned Violet Bergman from an ante room to con- tradict a statement of Button regard- | ing his actions when she and Leah shop. There was a discussion between Bur- rows and Rathbun as to the propriety of putting such a witness on in rebut- tal, and Attorney Burrows withdrew { the witness. Then the arguments were madeand Judge Latimer bound Button over. Miss Peacock, the village nurse, in | | whose care the Barraclough and Berg- amn girls now are, was present. The Roscoe girl has left Mystic and is now ! in Derby. Other developments may be looked for in the Mystic scandal. There are a dozen girls and boys involved and half | !a dozen men mentioned, but still at | 1iberty, may be arrested at any time. RECOMMENDATIONS BY TAX COMMISSIONER CORBIN.

The following is a summary of the the | recommendations made In the text cf‘ re- | the report: Several of these recommendations have been made previously. The his- tory of tax legislation in Connectlcut shows that changes are made slowly after the people have had ample op- portunity to carefully consider the matter and to appreciate the benefits ito be derived. The reiteration of de- sirable changes is bound In time to interest public spirited citizens suffi- clently to overcome finally selfish op- position. The local discussion and approval of many of the recommendations augur their adoption, and the hope is ex- rressed that they will commend them- elves to patriotic and unselfish legis- ators so that eventually they may be incorporated into the statutes.

Browning passed on the {clalms which had been held over, { agreements were made and next week i the checks will be issued in payment { of suck claims. | The estate pald something in excess {of 40 cents on the dollar. The large amount of real estate held by Mr. | Schwaner helped toward satisfying the | claims, against the estate.

The _elevator company installed the eiectric elevat- ors in the building corner Main and State streets. Its claim was setiled for $6,500.

The mortgage loans were 1$17,925 and $4,800, respectively. The volume of real estate transac- |tions jn the state for the week has been very light, as is customery at this eason of the year, but the record is | nevertheless ahead ‘of last year.

The 11 new companles |have average capitalization of about 133,000 The total assets of the seven con- cerns filing petitions in bankruptcy in | this state during the week are about | one-fifth the amount of the liabilitics, and in this respect the showing is poorer than the previous year's. Permits for bulldings were issued during the week in New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford and Waterbury to the number of 47, which compares with 51 in the like week of 1911 and 37 in 1810.

As mem- bers of this Christian church as led by our Lord, we should go from strength to strength until we reach the life eternal. We are to look upon life as that which {s growing richer and bet- ter year by vear. And we must look forward more and more to that which is vefore us—the opening of the portal Just beyond. Gottagers Learn of Storm Damag At Hast Beach, Quonochontaus, where scveral from Norwich Town spend a few weeks in the summer, the effects of Monday's storm were most disastrous.

Y., demolished, and the Barrett cottoge, owned in Providence, moved from its foundations. James F. Thurtson of Hallville, owner of one of the first cot- tages bullt on the beach, had to repair his sea wall after a storm last autumn.
