Dr. Percy Senior Explains Why He Should Not Be Sentenced =3 a Common Drunkard—Double Fire Alarm Rouses Beepers—Loss Less Than $10—Rev. Albert R. Still- man Fractures Ankle. o In the superior court for Washington county, Judge George T. Brown pre- | siding, the jury returned a verdict o!\ not guilty in the case of the state/ against Adolph Binrevicz and Edward | Bonico, charged with assault with u.‘ dangerous weapon. with intent to kill | Peter Freeman; the jury returned a verdict for defendant in each case, the accused having been tried together. At the conclusion of this case there was a trial on the appeal of Dr. Percy A. Senior of Westerly from the judg- ment of the Third district court, in i which he was found gullty of being a | common drunkard and sentenced to six | months in the state workhouse. The | case was tried before & jury in the| nigher court and a verdict of guilty | returned. Sentence was deferred un- til the expiration of seven days, the, period allowed for taking an appeal to the supreme court. | Dr. Senior conducted his_own case, | and when the jurvmen were called Judge Brown informed hym that he had the right to file objeclion against any member of the jury, and those ob- jected to would be withdrawn. The doctor sald that the jury was satis- factory to him, as he did not know any of the jurymen. Six of them are residents of Westerly. Dr. Senior gave a reason for not wanting counsel he bad practiced law for eight In England. He requested that the court order all witnesses from the courtroom and that they be called in singly to give testimony. The request was granted. Members of the Westerly police force and several other residents of West- erly gave testimony in support of the charge against the doctor. & The only witness for the accused was Mrs. Senior, wife of the doctor, and when she went to the witness stand she was accompanied by her lit- tle girl, who was munchi a cracker. Mrs. Senlor testified thaf she served as a nal nurse in Engiand and was also a graduate nurss of Providence. She had known her hus- band for 20 years, he had never abused Ber, and she never saw him in & drunken condition. In response %o a query by Assistant Attorney General Ham, Mrs. Sewior acknowledged that she made = complaint against her hus- band on Feb. 36, and that he was then | arrested and taken from the house to the police station in an express wagon. Dr. Senior in testifying in his own bebalf safd that after practicing law in the old country for eight vears he took up ¢ the siudy of medicine and sur- so‘r. He was in South Africa in the war in the English army and re- ceived a Boer bullet in the right leg. This caused a contraction of the mus- les of the leg, causing a serious lame- ness and unsteadlness of gait, by rea- son of which, he supposed, people of Westerly took him to be intoxicated, when, as a maiter of fact, he was per- fectly sober. He said that he had re- | ceived aas high as $10,000 a year in Westarly in fees for surgical and medical service, and that his income for the present vear was $3,600, which went to show that he was not the drunkard as pictured. He believed his present dilemma was a frame-up through a combimation of jealousy and politics. When asked why his wife was compelled to ask for aid from the overseer of the poor, a few days after his arrest. he did not explain. If re- leased, he said, he would not return to Westerly, but would locate in an- other town in the state where there was a good field for a competent doc- tor and surgecn. It i= not believed the doctor will take further appeal, but submit to the Impure ocood Ie unhealthy blaod-tlood that is ot only inden viith poisomous and Lut aise def rruzoles. SARSAPARILLA.

By agreement of counsel, the case of Charles 1). Chapman against the New York, News Haven and Hartford Railroad company will be heard at Providence next Saturday. This is a case where Chapman seeks to recover for the loss by fire of an automobile which he alieges caught fire from a spark from a passing locomotive. He had left the automobile in a driveway adjacent to the railroad track, near the Chapman property, while he at- tended to soma business In the vicin- ity. The case will be heard before Judge Brown. . There was considerable commetion in Westerly and vicinity early Tuesday morning, occasioned by a double fire alarm being sent in from box 46, near the bridge in West Broad street. When a second alarm was sounded the impression prevailed that there was another fire of more than ordinary magnitude, and hundreds were up and dressed and on the streets in short order. The second aiarm was sent:in by mistake and was intended for a re- call, and the signal that the firé was extinguished sent in a few mo- ments afterward. All this conmotion was caused by a little spark that either came from the chimney of the bullding where the Vincent bakery is located in West Broad strect or from a passing loco- motive. This spark caused quite a blaze on the roof of the building,which was discovered by a young man who wae homeward bound.” He immedi 1y pulled in the alarm and the Barber Hose company T subdued the fire with the aid of chemical fire extinguishers. Then came the mistake in fire alarms. The | fire was discovered at 3 o'clock in the morning and a high wind prevailed. The fire loss will not exceed $10.
