The jnjury -was_caused ya large stone rolling off a pile near which Novy was at work and striking his right leg. In tne affernoon session of court ames Welch of Sprague, one of the 2 men on the jury, was taken sick stomach trouble, it was under- and shortly before 3 o'clock a short recess was declared at his re- quest. . When court came in again, in about 10 minutes, he took his place with the jury again, but after a short while longer he had Deputy Shériif Herbert E.

He is a Bohemian and un- able to speak English and an interpre- ter was necessary. M. L. Mallnowsky of New Britain was the interpreter. Novy said he was 32 years of ags and was born in Bohemia, whers he had a wife and two ckildren, He is at present living In New York, but was residing in New London when the acei- dent oceurred. He testified that on morning of the accldent, ,which Nov. 9, 1912, he went to work at 7 ‘clock. 'An hour later, while working the base of a pile of stones about feet high, one of the stones became lodged and rolled down the pile. iking him and crushing his right leg. was taken to the offide of the com- v, where he received medical atten- ase of Joseph Novy vhic. stood, ster he iew London rated upon foy now walks r.

The doctor said he ught the ‘man ought to bé well e day and he did not believe the ifjury was permanent. He said 4hat Tospital bill was something over $§50 and that Mr. Novy was dis- cfarged from the hospital against the djctor's advice, because the Break- iter company. which was respon- ble for the bill, was anxious to Dbive him discharged and requested it.

Dr. Leonara M, Bacon of New Ha- the last time | up to the present | ven, formerly of Norwich, a physician and surgeon for twenty years, was next put on: the stand by the defense, He testified that he was a specialist in bone injuries. He had examined the plaintiff in court. He described the scars on the leg and sald the man had full movement of it and the doc- tor discovered no evidence of inter- ference in the circulation and there was no evidence of any shortening of the leg. The doctor considered that a substantlally normal relation of the tissues had been restored and the limb would be as well able to resist in- dury in the future as the other leg. The doctor thought that fn two or three months the leg would be fully restored, but there was some evidence now that the muscle strength had not been fully restored. The plaintiff could work mow, the doctor said, but mot with full eficiency. On cross examination Dr. Bacon said he considered that the man could do hard manual labor six days a week now and that would be ~a means towards his restoration, although there might be some pain resulting after the work.
