Different Causes For David Smith’s Death —Fractured Skull, Heart Trouble or Apoplexy—In Trial of $10,000 Suit Against Norwich & Westerly Trac- tion: Company. In the continuation of the trial of the suit of Esther Smith, executrix, vs, the Norwieh & Westerly Traction com- pany for $10,000 damages for the death of her huspand, David Smith of Groton, the superior court here on Fri- day was occupied all the afternoon up to the time of adjournment with the taking of medical testimony, and when the closing hour came Judge Williams ordered court adjourned till 10 o'clock this morning, so that the trial may be resumed then. Because of teh short calendar busi- ness and the hearng on the Thames Loan & Trust company receivership, the trolley case was not reached until just after the noon hour. Then Major Hull for the plaintiff said he was con- tent to rest his side of- the case, and the defense had its inning for the rest of the day. By the time its testimony had been produced therc had been two different causes for the death of Mr. Smith placed begore the jury to con- sider, making three in all with the cause upon which it has been shown the case of the plaintiff is based. Against the strong objections of Ma- yor Hull, the attorneys for the defense, Messrs, Avery and Brown, succeeded in having the death certificate of Mr. Smith admitted. This gave the cause of his death as heart fallure. Two doctors put on by the defense gave it as their opinion that the death of Mr. Smith occurred from natural causes, and a third said it was apoplexy, while the medical testimeny offered by the plaintiff has been calculated to show that he had a fracture of the sicull, sustained by landing on his head and shoulders when he was thrown out of his team when the trolley expxress hit it at Avery’s crossing on the sec- ond day of the North Stonington grange fair last September. When the defense opened its case the first witness introduced was Floyd L. Main. He was followed by Dr. Wil- liam M. Hill, and after his long session on the witness stand Dr. Patrick Cas- sidy was put on. Of both of these was asked the hypothetical question intend- ed to cover the conditions surrounding the case of Mr. Smith from the tive of his inqury on Sept. 19th to his sud- den death on October 1st. The ques- tion supposed that a man had been thrown on his head and sholders, sus- talning scratches on his face, an abra- sion of skin between shoulders, a brok- en rib on his left side, showed a drawn down appearance on one side of his mouth, but did not become unconscious, went that night ti his home, walked leaning towards one side, and was in bed for three or four days, then got . up and was around the house with his hurts improving, and then found dead in the bathroom a number of days later under conditions that showed some strain. Cassidy said that in their opinion death under such circumstances would be in- dicated from natural causes, and Dr. Robert BE. Harrington, who followed tim said, it would be from cerebral hemorrhage or apoplexy, known as shock. Dr. Cassidy said there was no indication of heart dis- ease In these circumstances. Doctor Harrington, who was at the scene of the accident shortly after 1 o'clock and felt Mr. Smith's pulse, said it was rapid and he detected in- dications of arterial sclerosis, or hard- ening of the arteries. He noticed the man was very deaf as he had to get up close and shout to Mr. Smith. He saw a scratch on his nose, but no black and blue eyes or no distorted cast heard no greaning or moaning, and did not see him walking bent over towards one side. He considered that the mah's age and the circumstances under which he was found dead were sufficient to explain the cause of his death and that the injuries in the accident had no bearing upon it. TNNUAL BANQUET OF ARMY AND NAVY CLUB Held at The Griswold—Nerwich Men Attended.

The wild deer that was captured some time ago ang added to the herd at Mohegan uark, has died. It is sup- posed that it must have sustained some injuries in the struggles it made when it was caught and tled in the chicken yard at the home of Howard Revell on Baltic street. After it was placed in the yard at the park it did not seem to thrive and did not eat much and finally weakened down till one day Su- perintendent Duff found it dead. The baby deer, however, is thriving and the rest of the herd is apparently in_good condition. There have been a number of addi- tions to the bird life at the park, in the water fowl department. The old goose which was sitting on seven eggs in the nest she made among some tree roots on the edge of the pond in the enclosure, stuck to her task un- til she brought off a healthy lot of five goslings. There has been a hatching of about fifteen teal ducklings. Superintendent John Duff has been engaged in repairing the boys’ raft in the lake, used by the boys In swim- ming. The iron hoops of the barrels under the raft had become rusted and have fallen from the barrels and the barrels collapsed. Four new ones are being put under the raft.

This raft will have seven barrels un- der it and those who éccupy the pa- vilion will have for amusement antics of the ducks ang geese.

They early settled in Connecticut, _ Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, North Car- olina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee, Indiana, Louisiana, Iowa, Kansas and Nebras- ka, and in several of the other states. Their descendants have been pioneers in most of the states from Connecticut, north, west and south.

Both Dr. Hill and Dr. | commonly After hearing the continued matter of the application of the bank ‘commis: sioners for the appointment of a re- teiver over the affairs of the Thames. Loan and Trust company, Judge Wil- liams appointed Charles F. Thayer re- ceiver for the com; in the s court here Friday forenoon. Attorney W. S. Allis represented the commissioners. Judge Ayling and Wil- liam H. Shields represented the trus- tees and directors. Judge Ayling told of the effort to raise money to put the bank on a sound basis and said that Harold Lawton, the president, had succeeded in securing pledges for $80,- 000 outside of Norwich. The outlook for raising money here, he said, was poor. Judge Williams said that he felt a receiver wus & neceesity, but that if desired he would grant another month for adjustment of affairs. Mr. Lawton said that he felt the people of Norwich should show more interest in the support of the institu- He intimated that he hoped to be able to better conditions provided more time was granted. When asked as to the manner in which the affairs of the bank were looked after, Judge Ayling stated that Thomas Browning is in the bank as a clerk and that Robert W. Perkins is there at times. Judge Willlams said that in his opinion it was time for someone to take charge of the bank |and Judge Ayling suggested as tempo- rary receivers C. Leslie Hopkins, Reu- ben S. Bartlett or Henry ‘W. Tibbits. Finally Judge Williams announced that he would make Charles F. Thayer permanent receiver and if within a reasonable time Mr. Lawton can secure sufficient funds to put the bank on a firm footing the services ¢f the re- ceiver can be terminated. e amount of bonds was fixed at $50,000. The ap- pointment of appraisers went over to Saturday. QUEEN MARY BARS RIDING ASTRIDE Female Competitors in Equestrian Pro. cession Must Use Side Saddles. London, June 26.—Queen Mary’s ad- hesion to the Victorian proprieties is doubtless responsible for an edict is- sued by the management of the In- ternational horse show at Olympla, to the effect that all women competitors appearing in the equestrian procession before the king and queen and Pres- ident Poincare must use side saddles. Miss Ruth Bovd has been the most conspicuous among the women who ride astride. She has bowed to the decree and for the last four days has ‘been practicing with a side saddie. She will aleo abandon her usual easy cos- tume and wear a tall hat and the cor- rect riding habit. Miss Boyd maintains, however, the superiority of riding astride, not be- cause she thinks it is easier, which it i8 not with some horses, but because she holds that the only perfect horse- manship is sympathetic horsemanship and that cannot be attained with the side saddle. ‘‘Moreqyer,” she added, “side riding is cruel fo the horses, es- pecially in jumping or riding long dis- tances.” The announcement of the decree has awakened much contemptuous criti- cism of those who favor astride riding. A prominent American horseman at Olympia saiq he was amazed at the squeamishness of the management. CATS TO HAVE $15,000 HOME AT GREENWICH Mrs. Harmon Breaks Ground for Lux- urious Building. Greenwich, Conn, June 26.—Mrs. Cliffora B. Harmon, daughter of Com- modore B. C. Benedict, lifted the first spadeful of ground yesterday in the construction of what is to be the most complete home for cats in this coun- try. Mrs. Harmon, a noted cat fan- cler, is bent upon having a home de luxe for her 28 cats and 24 Kkittens, many of them noted prize winners. Before the laborers were set at work on the foundation for her mew 315,000 “cattery,” Mrs. Harmon broke the ground in the presence of a large company, including Commodore Ben- edict and Thomas Hastings of Car- rere & Hastings, the architects of the building. The “cattery” is to cover more than two acres of ground and is to be located on Commodore Benedict's property at Indian Harbor. There are to be eight rooms, with 19 cat runs. Hot and cold water, electric light, gas for cooking, two baths, a kittens’ nur- sery, steam heat and other improve- ments are deemed necessities. In ad- dition there is to be a seven room cot- tag for Mrs. F. Y. Mathis, who has been associated with Mrs. Harmon for three years and who has been breed- ing famous cats for about 10 years. The new “cattery” will be known as the Greenwich Gat Kennels. Mrs. Harmon will give the cats her person- 2l attention and Mrs. Mathis will be in constant charge. IN wWooDSs AFTER PUNISHMENT.
