The committee on roads, rivers and bridges, which visited Mystic, Tuesday afternoon, will recommend in its report 2s the result of its inspection of the Mystic Main street drawbridge, that the state take over the structure. That the committee’s report would be fa- vorable to the proposition was inti- mated by Senator MacDonald of Put- nam, chairman of the committee, in a conversation with Dr. L. M. Allyn, one of the highway commissioners of the town of Grotcn. It is not expected, however, that a new bridge is to be| built nor is it considered that this w, be necessary; but it is_quite probable that motor power will be installed for the operation of the draw after what improvements in the present struc- ture necessary to allow of this have been made. This, of course, antlci- pating that the general assembly will Vote favorably on the recommenda- tion of the committee. Committee Announcement of Engagement.

Hewitt Took Her Husband’s Affections—Case on Trial in Superior Court. At New London Wednesday morning in the superior court the trial was started in the suit brought by Lydia G. Hewitt of Waterford against her daughter-in-law, Alice G. Hewitt, also of Waterford, for alienation of -her husband’s affections, Mrs. Hewitt sues to recover $15,000 for 'the loss of her husband’s affections. Trial of the case is before a jury and Judge William L. Bennett. The defendant in the suit is a widow, her husband, F. W. Hewitt, a son of the plaintiff, having died in 1907 The plaintiff alleges that she mar- ried her husband in 1871 and until 1908 lived happily. About 1908 the daugh- ter-in-law by her acts, blandishments and seductions aliepated the love and affection of the plaintiff's husband, de- stroying her happiness and the happi- ness of her home and that she has committed_adultery with him at her home in Waterford at various times since 1908 until the drawing of the complaint. The plaintiff claims that she has suftered great loss of mind and lost her husband and her own health and happiness as a consequence of the wrong acts of the defendant. Attorney Charles Stewart of this city appears for the plaintiff and Attorneys Rath- bun of Westerly and Tanner of New London represent the defendants. The Plaintiff Testifies. Mrs. Lydia Hewltt, the plaintiff, was the first witness called and testified that everything was harmonious be- tween herself and husband up to 1908 when Mrs. Alice Hewitt, her eon’s widow, became intimate with the wit- ness’ husband. She was questioned about the copy of a letter alleged to have been written by her husbaad to Mrs. Alice Hewitt, to which Attorney Rathbun for the defendant objected, at which point George W. Hewitt, her husband, was called to the stand for a brief time. Mr. Hewitt said that he was 67 years old. He was shown the copy of the letter in dispute and asked if he had ever seen or had any knowledge of the whereabouts of the original, to which he replied in the negativ Called on His Daughter-in-Law. Mrs.. Hewitt was then recalled and testified that in the fall of 1907 her daughter-in-law moved near the home of the witness, across lots. Her hus- band formed the habit of going there evenings after supper, staying at first until 9 or 9.30 o'clock. Later, how- ever, his visits became more frequent and ‘he stayed later, often as late as 11.30. On one or two particular occa- sions when he forgot his key he en- tered the house through a window, using a ladder to climb to the second story. She objected to his going to her daughter-in-law’s house, but he replied that her objections made no difference to him and he would go there when- ever he wanted to. The witness testi- fied that during the past three years he had lived with Mrs. Alice Hewitt, who now lives in Stonington, and he had been in his own home only two or three times during the past year to stay all night. Lantern Hill Trip. Mrs. Hewitt told of a trip to Lantern Hill two or thres years ago, accompa- nied by a daughter and son, and of see- ing Mr. Hewitt there in company with Mrs. Alice Hewitt. Witness said noth- ing to either her husband or companion at the time, but her daughter remark- ed to her father “that it was a good place to spoon.” The witness sald that she had been paid $5 a week by her husband since last May, previous to which time he only gave her $3 a week, on which she was obliged to furnish her table, etc. Last winter her husband tried to in- duce her to go to Hartford to spend the winter with their daughter, but she declined, saying that the climate there did not agree with her, and re- quested him to give her enough money with which to buy fuel. He not only refused to do this, but began to abuse her, telling_her she was no good. Dert E. Hewitt, a_son, and these nelghbors were the following witness- es: Austin J. Perry, Sylvester G. Jer- ome, 75, Mrs. Edith Austin Kellogs, Albert Cyrus Kelloge. _They all testi- fied to_seeing George W. Hewitt with Alice Hewitt, but not under any im- Dproper circumstances. Mrs. Harriet Hewitt Lane of Hart- ford, formerly of Norwich and New London, a daughter of the plaintiff, made a particularly spley witness and when she left the stand, alter a lively interchanga With the cross examining lawyer, the decorum of the court was considerably broken up. She testified that the trouble had made a wreck of her mother and that there had * wm no affection between her mother and her father for the last few years. She made it plain that she was ‘opposed to her sister-in-law, the defendant, coming into the family, as she considered her an undesirable member, but she sald she never saw her mother treat the defendant any otherwise than as a lady when the de- fendant was at the mother's house. Mrs, Lane admitted that she had once said that she believed Alice Hew- itt haq killed her brother in spite of the doctor's certificate that gave tu- berculosis as the cause of death. She was asked ahout the Lantern Hill trip and gave the information that she didn’'t think Lantern Hill was a Dproper place to go to except to spoon. She was on the trip to Lantern Hill, and when asked by the attorney wheth- er she went there for that purpose that time, she retorted: “I have a hus- band.” Cyrus E. Hewitt of North Waterford, son of George W., testified that his fa- ther paid more attention to #lice Hew- itt after the death of her husband than Cyrus considered right, and he expost- ulated with him, but’ his father was pretty apt to follow his own way. He was asked if his father changed his clothes before going to call on Alice Hewitt. He answered that he put on his jewelry and “dolled up.” The wit- ness also testified to having fired a shot through the ceiling to scare his father. Court adjourned at 5 o'clock. C. E.

Ricketts Made This His Subject at Shop Mesting. The shop talk held under Y. M. C. A. auspices on Wednesday at noon at the | of the Richmond Radiator com- was of unusual interest as given Rev. the church. his_topic, The Question. “In the early stages of the present .” sald the speaker, “most people hought that the strongest factor was the Belgian defense, but in a short while we were forced to change our opinion. When the heavy siege guns of the Germans finally battereq down the forts, we concluded that the Ger man artillery was the greatest force in_the war, “Our minds were soon changed again and we came to believe the immense floating battleships the most formid- able implements of war. gain we were forced to change our opin when the little submarines in fiv utes, sent the battleships to tom. Without a question the air ma chines will prove very formidable means of warfare. However, at the present time we have come to find out that the most important thing in war is the matter of the food supply. After 1 in time of peace the food supply s the greatest question. “The moment one is born, one begins to eat and up to the last day they live, men continue to eat, feed the body. It is right that we should do this & though most of us eat too much. We should remember that as necessary as it 1s to feed the body it is also necessary to feed the mind. But the number who feed the mind and body is very much smaller than the number who feed only the body. It is wise to read a good daily newspaper, but to stop with that is a great mistake. There are so many good books and magazines that make food for the mind that it is almost a shame to starve our mental capacity. The most mportant of all is the feeding of our spiritual lives and the number who do this is lamentably small compared with those who are feeding the body.” Rev. Mr. Ricketts went on to say that the Y. M. C. A. has recognized for many vears the necessity for de- veloping the whole man for which it deserves high commendation. TAFTVILLE Men’s Club Held Monthly Meeting in Church Vestry—Meeting of Pinochle Club—Everready Glee Club Disbands.

Looking over the spring millinery offerings, the favored tints this sea- son appear to be sand, Belgian ‘blue, putty, sea green, old rose, battleship gray, shell pink, myrTtle green and Al- pine gray, with of course combinations of black and white, the last always good. Flat, low crowned shapes are in the front ‘rank of favor. Novelties are scalloped Leghorn hats, to match ths modish_skirts. Just what is meant by flat hats may be gathered from the fact that a chorming model shown Wednesday was a sailor in pale pink French crepe in shadowy coloring, with a crown only an inch and a half high. For trim- ming it had miniature black and white wings, tiny bouquets of buds match- ing the hat color and it was faced with lack. When worn, it was exceedingly effective. Transparent models are promised a great vogue. One admired vesterday was developed in dainty lavender chif- fon and had a veiled wreath of roses and pansies between the materials of the brim. Narrow plum velvet ribbon encircled the crown, falling in_chic streamers from a double bow at the back. The Scotch turban holds its place in favoritism this spring. A model great- ly admired is of satin crown, witibri and big loops in the barnyard straw 5o popular this year. The frimming is a single pink moss rose. Fruit is closely crowding flowers in popularity and there are many ef- fective garnitures which are combina- tions of fruit and flowers. A flat, low crowned hat on view yes- terday was of chanseable taffeta, trim- med with a follage wreath and the most_realistic raisins imaginable! Its smart finish is a fleur de lis bow in shell pink. Very effective was a poke in Tuscan straw, its brim covered in Belgian blue chiffon, a twist of blue. ribbon about the crown. Its trimming was a wreath of French roses, foliage and lilies of the valley, with a bouquet of the flow- ers at the back, under the brim. To inspect these and similar spring models just now is a delight. Where they are on view is indicated by The Bulletin’s advertisers today, CARBOLIC ACID FATAL TO MRS. KUTLER.
