Hull moved for sentence at once ang after a plea made for Gard- ner by his counsel, Thomas M. Shields, Judge Shumway sentenced the pris- oner to one year in jail. The sentenc- ing of Gardner was the concluding act of the court, which they adjourned to come in again for criminal business on the fourth Tuesday in January. Arguments in the case against Gard- ner for the killing of Eugene T. Fra- zier of Voluntown were made on Fri- day by his counsel, Attorneys Shields | and Kdmung W. Perkins, and by | State's Attorney Hull, and Judge Shumway gave his charge, placing the case in the hands of the jury at 2.48. After two hours and ten minutes they reached a verdict and reported through Foreman George F. Adams that they found Gardner guilty as charged. On the grounds that provocation for the aesault had been given and that the prisoner had previously borne a good reputation, Attorney Shields pleaded forelenienicy for his client. The state's attorney addressed the court, saying that he did ot desire a_heavy sentence to be imposed, but he thought it ought to be a state’s prison sentence. He disbelieved the stories of the as- eault which the prisoner had told, he said, and considered it probadle that the ‘kick that broke Frazier's wind- pipe had been given when he was ly- ing on the floor, and might have been given by a stamp of the hecl. Sen- tence might be 15 years, but he aid | not ask for that. Good Reputation Counted. Judge Shumway in imposing sen- | tence {olq Gardner that the appearance of Gardner's employers in the Vol- | untown mill to testify to his good | character was a consideration which had weighed with him and moved him to make the sentence one vear in jail, The judge then thanked the jury and discharged them, and the criminal term of court was adjourned fil Jan- | uary 28 in' Nerwich. It is understood on good authority | that Gardner might have received a | sentence of six months in jail if he | had been willing on Thursday to plead | guilty to simple assault, but he de- clined. { Nolle in Morgan Case. ‘When court first opened in the morn- Voluntown Man Found Guilty of Manslaughter—Judge Con- siders Plea For Leniency—Case Against Leroy Morgan Nolled—Criminal Term Adjourns Till January 28. — | would be impessible. |lanto of | divorced couple was married in Italy |in 1594, | father was ing the charge ‘against Leroy Morgan of this city, implicated in the geath of 18-year-old Agnes Watt of Montville, who died following a criminal opera- tion, was nolled.

Neil O'Brien and his minstrels played before a capacity house at the Davis theater on Friday evening, producing a | combination of pretty stage pictures, | musical harmony, side-splitting jokes | and clever dan g that won enthusi- | astic commendation. O'Brien is a won- derfully clever impersonator of the shiftless, superstititious, altogether good for nothing darky. He is proba- bly the best blackface comedian in the country. ' Bert Williams is ‘his only | peer in this particular line of endeav- | or. | ‘A bouquet of roses was presented to Mr. O'Brien by the Knights of Colum- bus, to which he made a characteristic | speech, during which he intimated that | his supply of speeches for flowers had; been exhausted, but he had prepared a | very nice speech for a gift of a gold- | handled umbreila which might be used on a future occasion i The entertainment started with the | vocal numbers one has come to ex- | pect in minstrel shows, W. H. Thomp- son, who has a remarkably fine voi and Frank Furher doing the best in the singing line. Then came a somewhat disconnect- ed and altogether nonsensical skit, en- | titled “Following the Flag,” in whnch | Mr. O'Brien impersonated z colored | soldier who has attained the dignity | of the title of “General Nuisance.” Some horseplay, a little real comedy and a variety of clever remarks were perpetrated. The setting of the last act, intro- | ducing dancing and singing of higher type than at any other time in the | performance, was beautiful. The back- | ground was a_peach orchard in full | bloom, with a myriad of electric lamps | hidden away among the blssoms. It| was a rarely effective bit of stage plc- turing.
