e e oS s oot NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914 BODY FOUND NEARWESTESLY TRACKS Unknown Swede Killed By the Cars—Pasquale Selameno’s Sentence to Kingston Jail — Hearing on Stoddard-Gil- bert Company’s Claim—North Stonington Man in Stab- bing-Affray—Prof. Kendall May Be Stonington School . _ Superintendent. ‘ Farly Friday morning the body of a man was found between the double tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company at a point about 1,500 feet south of the dry bridge over West Broad street, in the village of Pawcatuck, town of Ston- ington, Dr. George D, Stanton of Ston- |ngton borough, medical examiner, was notified and he ardered the removal of the body to the morgue of the H. B. Gavitt -company. Soon thereafter Dr. Stanton arrived ahd made an investi- tion. In his opinion the dead man perhaps a Swede, about 30 years of | . He_was. probably struck by a :'g:stbound freight train, and the fatal injury was a blow .in the forehead, which crushed the frontal bone and Fractured the skull. A letter that had never been mailed was found on his person. It was written with lead pen- cil on stationery of the Plains hotei, Cheyenne, Wyo., and addressed to Frank Dayton, 158 Center street, Den- ver. It referred to the writer expect- ing to get a job in a lunch cart, but was unsigned. In a small pocketbook, . with the letter W on the clasp, was ftound a five cent plece, five pennies and two small keys. A pocket comb and penknife were the omnly other ar- ticles in the clothing of the dead man. He was comfortably dressed and the medical examiner was of the opinion that he was a laborer, or possibly a restaurant employe, as indicated in the letter. Coroner Franklin H. Brown of Norwich was notified, but he did not consider it a case for his personal in- vestigation, there being no evidence of foul play or any negligence on the part of the railroad company. Dr. Stanton authorized the burial of the ly. * ! Dr. Stanton has been medical exam- iner of the town of Stonington for &1 years, ever since the laws of Connec- ticut added county medical examiners to the corps of county coroners. He gaid that during that period he has been called to more fatalities on the rallroad track Dbetween Pawcatuck river bridge and the thread mill in. the village of Pawcatuck than in all other Sections of the town of Stonington ‘vombined. Pasquale Salameno, convicted last April for assault with a dangerous weapon, when arraigned for sentence in the superior court for Washington county, was sent to the Washington |D county jail at Kingston for six months end not to the Providence county jail. There is a vast difference in the con- duct of these institutions, as the for- mer is on a line with those in New London county, only even more lenient iz the treatment of prisoners, while ‘the latter is a strict penal institution and compares well with the state prison.. Prisoners are worked to their full capacity and when not working confined in cells. The case against Salameno for carrying a concealed ‘weapon, sentence was deferred upon zayment of costs. There was a hearing before Judge Cliver H. Williams in the Third dis- rict court Friday of the 3djourned pase of the Stoddard, Gilbert company bf Norwich against Louis Gentile, an action to recover on a bill due for cods delivered. Upon the opening of e case Attorney John J. Dunn, coun- sel for Gentile, made a,motion for non- puit, claiming that plaintiffs had not shown that Gentile was in any way Indebted to them, and that the only prvidence introduced at the first hear- mg was simply that some boxes had been delivered at the Geritile store, the contents of the boxes were unknown snd might have contained sawdust or waste paper. Attorney Everett A. Kingsley, counsel for plaintiffs, claim- ed that a prima facia case had been proven at the first hearing. Judge W{Jllams denied the motion for non- sutt. Gentile, the defendant, was called to the witness stand and a number of re- :qjpts from the plaintiff and declared that he did not owe the concern a tent. He said he had done no busi- ness with that Norwich firm’ since lemand was made upon him for the payment of goods he had not received. in” response to queries by Attorney Kingsley, Gentile said /he was not in 'he stére much of the time, but that 1s wife, son and daughter attended o customers. He did not know wvhether they signed receipts for all yoods received, but it was their cus- tom to do so. Attorney Dunn insisted that the »laintiffs had only shown by witnesses hat some boxes were delivered, but Me contents were not known to the leliverers, and therefore might have | Wi leen something of no value. He said that no goods had been described in fhe testimony mor no value establish- Attorney Kingsley contended that T HANDS FACE LEGS In Pimples, Started to Spread. Burned, ltched - and Irritated.

It broke out in pimples, very small and looked as if small white seeds were spilled all over my legs and face. It burmed and itched so that I scratched and irritated it. My clothing made 1t worse and I could not sleep many nights. For two months Y| 1 tried other remedies and they didn’t help me. Then I got some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and they - afforded relief as soon as I bathed with the Cauticura Soap and put the Cuticura Olnt~ ment on.

Town Solicitor Agard stated that he ready to go_on with the case, but that there would be no finality before December next. Therefore he suggest- ed that the accused be released on reasonable bail, as it would be a need- i of $300. both attorneys and approved by the court. A P The court disposed of the two cases of Charles J. Butler nst P, T. ‘Campbell of Springfleld, Mass. Camp- bell hired the Butler cottage at Watcn Hill for the season at a rental of $500, paying one-half the sum in advance ‘When the second payment became due Campbell informed Butler that balance of the rental would not be paid and presented a bill against But- ler to balance the account. Campbell claimed that Butler was responsible for damage to his automobile tires by reason of bad approach to the cottage and did not do many things that should have been done for the benefit of the tenant. Campbell persisted in non-payment and as a result Butler brought suit. As there was no visible property to attach, Campbell was ar- rested, and was released upon a bond of $500 and he retained Gordon, Plerce & Thornley of Providence as his at- torneys. It was that the case no appearance on tl ant judgment was rendered in favor of Butler to recover the amount due with costs. Judgment was also given in the ejectment case against Camp. bell and Mr. Butler will obtain posses- sion of his property at noon today. Thl(s judgment carried with it full costs. e _When Japitor James Maxwell ar- rived at the Westerly High school building, Friday morning, he found that the building had been entered during the night and that the intruders did considerable damage and without any financial recompense. Entrance was effected by breaking a pane of glass from a rear window, turning the catch and raising the sash. The glass in the door of the principal's room was broken in like manner, the lock turned from the inside and 'the door opened. The desks in the room were pried open and the contents strewn about, evidently in a search for money. Every room in the building was vis- ited and the desks of the teachers forced open and the contents disturb- ed. So far as known nothing of value was taken. The marks in the desks indicate that a fair sized jimmy was used in their opening. efl | il | [ There -was a stabbing affra; in Canat street, north of the railroad track fate Friday aftermoom and the participants were soon arrested by Chief Brown and Policeman Fergu- son and locked up in the police sta- tion. William Bushee, a resident of Westerly, and Calvin Snyder, of North Stonington, both under the influence of liquor, became engaged in a fistic encounter during which Bushee stab- bed Snyder in the left cheek with a jackknife, just below the cheek bone and with such force that the knife remained and could not be readily removed. Snyder was recently released from the New London county jail where he served a sentence for intoxication. The wound is not of a serious nature but the scar will remain during the remainder of Snyder’s life. Mrs. Ruth C, Edwards Congdon 71 ife of Deacon S, A. Co H died Friday afternoon, after three weeks' illness, at her home in District No. 6. Mrs. Congdon was born in Voluntown. Besides her husband she is survived by two sons and a daughter, Bdword Congdon, Frederick Congdon and Mrs. Henry L. Mitchell, and a sister, Fran- ces Elizabeth Edwards.
