When the court came in at 9.30 in the morning St4ye’s Attorney Hull in- | formed the court that the attornevs for Frank Falcone, whose trial had been begun Wednesday, said he now wished to plead gulity, and Judge Bur- pee allowed the man to do so.

The daughter, who was inside the railing with other members of the Falcone family, stood up and cried out that the statement was a lie and that it was no such thing. The sheriff told the girl to_keep still and be seated.

When the jury had retired for dinner Judge C. W. Comstock asked that the bond that had been called in the case of the state vs. Fanny Green, the New York woman accused of keeping wo- men for the purposes of prostitution | and taking the money they made while she was the keeper of the old Warren | be reopened. | house on Summlit street, The motlon was allowed and the Green woman was called to the bar of the court and she pleaded guilty to two counts in the information made out by Major Hull. Then Judge Comstock made a lo; plea in regard to the kind of sentence to be imposed and he argued that it was only a case of keeping a house of ill repute and cited some authorities to support his claim for a light sen- tence and a ruling by the court in a similar case, Major Hull said the woman had pleaded guilty under a new statute in regard to ‘keeping lewd women for gain and he said that the Green wo. man came here from New York and brought girls with her. He said if there is any doubt In the matter as to the nature of the offense he would like to introduce testimony, To Introduce Testimony.

One Year in Jail for Dunbres Mr, Desmond made a plea for le- niency and said he did not think his clienf intended to kill his adversary He is industrious and has proved honest. Mr, Hull made a short statement and told of the many cutting case now before the courts and the need of punishment that will deter such con- duct on the part of newcomers and others. Judge Burpee sald he thought the desire to kill was lacking in the case and he sent the accused to jail for a vear, The accused is robust and well dress- ed and he wept as _he was vlaced in the steel pen with four other prison- ers. He is not married. After a recess the business of the court was continued with the follow- ing cases: Violently in Love. Otis East, accused of assault with intent to kill May Tyler in New Lon- don on Dec. 21st, changed his plea to gullty. Attorney C. B. Smith was his counsel and made a statement for him. saying he was a Swede, who is highly emotional in disposition and violently in love. The attorney raised a smile in court by referring to a soliloquy in one of the lines of the opera of Iolan- the: “O Love! Love! If thou makest such a fool of an ordinary man, what wouldst thou do with = driveling idiot!” The condition of mind of East reminded him of these lines, as ex- pressing something of the conditions in this case. The woman he is in love with and wants to marry is a widow whose hus- band sailed on the lost steamer Larch- mont. It Is altegether probable that he was drowned but his body has never been recovered and it bas not heen possible to forward the divoerce pro- ceedings which would cnable her to G R SRR i rt and just | after the judge ended his words of | the night | months in jail, informing the attorney that if cifcumstances warranted he | might apply later for a hearing to have the man released on probation for the balance of the term.

He went from Nor- wich to his home under the Influence tof liguor and in a melee with his son- | in-law was twice wounded in the head. The attorney said that it had | been Coon’s wish not to put up a de- fense on trial in court, as to do so it would be necessary to bring in his | wife and family to testify against. | | _The accused had stated that he| | would endeavor to let strong drink | alone in the future. The attorney | asked for_a jail sentence for the man. When Major Hull explained his | views of the case he said he intended to ask for a nolle in the case of John W. Watson, whose name is on the| present court docket in connection | with this case. The state's attorney ! did not press for a state prison sen- tence and the judge made the sentence | for Coon one year in jail. Nolle in J. W.
