of Cases of Unsavory Trials Made Friday in Conference With State’s Attorney | iat Hull—<Several Norwich Men Awaiting Trial. On Tuesday morning in this city, the January criminal term of the su- perjor court will come in here with Judge Milton A. Shumway on the bench. On Friday State Attorney Hadlai A. Hull was here in consulta- tion with the attorneys for prisoners whose cases will come up at this term and the assignments were made in most of the 30 odd cases on the dock- et. In the coming term there is an unusual number of cases of an un- savory character. A considerable pro- portion of these come from the neigh- borhood of Stonington and Mystic in consequence of the alleged scandalous conditions unearthed there recently. Of the cases assigned for the open- ing day there are those of the state vs. Alfred Baker, Richard B. Chute, Stephen Duke, Nathan H. Newberry and Amos R. Parks, all connected with the scandalous conditions alleged to exist in these two villages. There is also the rape case of Felix Ansavage and the case of John Chester Hol- brook of Lebanon on the same charge. Santo Nigrelli, the New London bar- ber, charged with being responsible for' the conditions of an Italian girl who killed her baby in a New London hospital, will also be called upon to plea, and Leroy Morgan and Howard E. Dogers, the ‘two men charged with cemplicity in conditions that led to the death of Agnes Watt of Montville in a New London hospital, after a :T ‘uesday Has UnufiulNumhr criminal operation. Morghn has signed a written confession which_is in the hands of Coroner Franklin H. Brown. The name of Louisa M. Parker Is also among the cases to have come before the coming term of court, but her re- cent death has placed her/bevond the reach of any earthly tribunal. Ralph Douglass, implicated in a Vol- untown stabbing case, is also to plead on the first day. For Wednesday the 8th, the cases assigned were those of the state vs. Theodore Casinsl of TLebanon on a charge of assault and threat to burn, John Dombroski of this city on a burg!ar\' charge, Willlam Pero of Norwich on an arson charge, Edward Handrihan, also of Norwich, on a charge of forgery, John Rudic for es- cape from the Norwich jail, Robert Shahan of Norwich on a theft charged| and Walter Webb on an adultery charge. For January 9 the cases of state vs. Michele IFeraco, Lena Herschorn, Michael ILevine and wothers are as- red. The trial of the case of the state vs. John McGrath of Fitchville for an attack on a gypsy camp was set for January 14th. It haq been begun at the previous term of court when the illness of Attorney Desmond compelled | a postponement. There are also a number of cases against minor bovs who will probably be commitied to state institutions. FIFTEEN ATTEND FIRST TEACHER TRAINING CLASS. Yaught by Charles A. Boyd of Hart- ford—Two Classes to be Held. In spite of the stormy weather Fri- day evening there was an attendance | of fifteen teachers, representing eight | churches at the first meeting of the | teacher training class conducted un- | der the auspices of the Bible Study committee of the Church and the New London County Sunday School association. There are to ' be two classes each Friday eveningy the | first ‘at 7.30, and the second .at 8.15, three-fourths of an hour to each. class is devoted to study of the Bible | and the other to child study. In opening the session the imstructor Charles A. Boyd of Hartford spoke of the purpose of the Sunday school and| of how it tended towards the upbuild- ing of chardpter. He also spoke of its Christian fellowship. In the Bible study class Mr. apoke of the Bible as 4 literary work, its significance as the most popular and most powerful book in the world, and its purpose. The Bible he said is the | “record of God’s progressive self-revel- | ation.” The concern of the author of | the bible was not historical but rather to use historical facts to establish re- liglous truths. Mr. Boyd spoke briefly | on the givisions of the Bible and went | through an outline of the book of | Genesis. Those in charge of the class ex- pressed themselves as well pleased with the attendance under the condi- tions and it was said that a class of 50 was expected by the time the work is well under way. Although it is not necessary for a teacher to take both of the courses offered it is probable that practically all will do so. A sim- ilar class was recently started at Stafford Springs, and now has a mem- bership of 50.
