W. Conant to Start Silk Mill. — Harold Barber was before Judge ‘Willlams Friday at the regular session of the Third district court, for trial on the charge of the reckless driving of an automobile and for exceeding the speed limit. When arraigned last Saturday, Barber entered a plea of not gullty. In court Friday his attorney, | A. T. L. Ledwidge, withdrew the plea of not guilty and substituted the plea of nolo_contendere, and sald no more, Judge Williams asked the attorney if | he claimed the right to withdraw the | plea without making any statement, | and reply was given that he was wait- | ing to hear what Town Solicitor Agard | had to say. Mr. Agard said he pre- | ferred to address the court when the | matter of sentence was under consid- eration. Mr. Ledwidge said that it was usual for the prosecutor to proceed first. The court stated to Mr. Led- widge that he should proceed after changing the plea of his client. Mr. Ledwidge said he.did not pro- pose to make any sugsestion to the ‘court, but hoped for extreme leniency in this case. Barber is 22 years of age, recently married, and is in bus- iness with his father in automobile and general repair work and, like his fath- er, i8 a competent mechanic.

The g0 ernor said he was opposed to the re: olution, as it was bad public_pol Mr. Magee said the governor had i sued an appeal to the people of the state for a fund to aid the sufferers and that the legislature should ot make any appropriation. Mr. Magee said he agreed with the governer. Mr. Kirchberger of Morris objected to the amount specified In the reselu- tion. He sald the state of Pennsylva- nia, a larger and richer state than Con- necticut and a sister state to those that suffered, had made a relief appro- priation of $10,000, and for Conmecti- cut to contribute ten times that amount was_exorbitant. Mr. Healey offered an amendment making the sum $10,000 instead of $100,000. Mr. Magee sald the principle was the same, and In view of the governor's action he did not believe the appro- priation ought to be made. Mr. Wilson of Bridgeport favored the resdlution, as it was the most speedy mthod of rendering assistance to the suffering. ~The amendment was put upon its passage and carried, and mo- tion to transmit to the senate prevai- led.
