Senior May Come Up Today—Military Orders— Funeral of Mre. Joseph S. Burnet, Jr. ¥ Calvin Snyder of North Stonington, who was stabbed in the cheek by Wil- lam Bushee during a tussle in Canal street Friday afternoon, was relieved from custody by Chief Brown and sent to his home to have his wound treated to his own satisfaction and at no ex- genmse to the town of Westerly. He Could have been held for trial on the of assault, but in the opinion of the chief and the town solicitor he - has been sufficiently punished for his offense and there was no occasion for sadd| expense on the town. _After thorough _investigation, Chief Brown was satisfled that Bushee wielded the kknife upon Snyder in self detensc(} fi it was learned that Snyder -ha followed and attacked Bushee, knocked im down and, while prostrate, with inyder on top, the knife was used. It was therefore probably a.case of self defense and of the nature .that prob- ably would not follow with conyiction in the superdor court for Washingtcn county, and would therefore result in consi to the town of Westerly. Therefore the charge of as- sauit with intent to kill or even as- sault with a dangerous weapon was not pressed, as the final disposition - on these charges {s beyond the jurisdiction of the distriet court. . i Chief Brown brought the charge of carrying a concealed weapon against jhee, as upon that charge the case the weapon specified in the charge, but a dangerous looking slungshot that Bushee was seen by two witnesses 1o throw over a fence just before Chlef Brown and Policeman Ferguson ar- rived and placed the offenders under arrest. The slungshot is made of two rounded chunks of lead attached a plece of codfish line, a crude but - gerous weapon, which was secured as evidence by Chief Brown. Bushee was arraigned before Judge Oliver ‘H. Willlams in-the Third dis- ‘trict court Sunday morning and plead- ed gullty to the charge of carrying a concealed weapon, a slungshot. As.the cirel ces are out.of the ordinary, the court suspended sentence for two mth- and Bushee was placed on pro- on. 4 The case against Di of Westerly, sha resulted in the Peroy A, Senie: ed with abortion that leath of Katie Bom: may be reached today. v from Westerly have been summoned into court, although it is'possible t'.xut ' | decorated.
