Authentic information _ concerning the purpose of the visit of five United ‘Btates army officers to Montauk Point bn Saturday was given on = Tuesday morning by Captain Terrell, adjutant Rt Fort Wright, who was one_ of the party. Unoffictal reports which gained currency led to the publication New York and other newspapers Mon- fay of a dispatch to the effect that a. Fort for coast defence purposes was contemplated by the war department st Montauk Point. It was not in relation to coast de- fence that the inspection was made, Ceptain Terrell stated, but in respect 0 land defence providing for the op- eration of a large body of mobile troops. In other words the proposi- tion which will evidentally reach the hands of Secretary of War Garrison deals with the protection of a land srea from invasion in the rear. So many erroneous impressions had gone forth as a result of the visit of the| ficers to Long Island that Captain ‘errell believed the public should be nted with its real significance.

Brought by Mary Balestrini City of New London. The case of Mary Balestrini against the city of New London for $2,000 damages for trespass on her property in Walbach street by reason of lay- ing the new walks in 1912 which was down for trial in the superior court in New London Tuesday morning was settled. The settlement came after the jury for the trial had been select- ed and had been to Walbach street to inspect the premises. The Balestrini suit against the city differs from previous suits brought against the city in that trespass was claimed, instead of a change of grade by the laying of the new walks. The jury was called in at 10 o'clock when Attorney Clayton B. Smith for the plaintiff made a statement to the jury in which he requested that if any of the jurors had any reason which would prevent their trying the case impartially they make the fact known. None of the jurors answered and Attorney Smith ‘asked that the New London jurors be excused from trying the case and the request _was granted by Judge Bennett. _ Jurors Norman M. Ruddy, Andrew B. Par- rish, James T. Potter, Stephen R. Wightman and Aborn F. Smith being excused. The jury selected for the trial of the case follows: Jeflerson O. Bailey, Frank Charlton and John L. Smith, Groton; Seth N. Willlams, George Winterbottom, Stonington; Bdward S. Henry, Montville; Robert J. Hender- son, Ledyard; Albert J. Perkins, F. F. Richards, James C. Smith, Waterford; Clifford 'T. Chapman, Alva Morgan, Bast Lyme. Judge Bennett then announced.to the jurors who were not to take part in the-trial that this. would be the last case of the term and after thank- ing them for their attendance ex- cused them. The complaint read to the jury ‘al- leged that about Sept. 1, 1912, the city through its agents during the laying of the new walks blasted and cut away ledges which comprised part of the plaaintiff's propertyy in Walbach Street. As a result the dwelling was left overhanging the sidewalk with- cut any underpining or support and the wails of the building were cracked and weakened ard the property left in a ragged condition. Attorney Smith suggested to the court that the jury be allowed to in- spect the property for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the condi- tions, in which Judge Bennett con- curred, and the jurors went to Wal- bach street to view the premises. ‘When the jury returned shortly be- fore 1130, ~ Attorney Morris Lub- chansky and Smith for: the ~plaintift and corporation counsel and Attorney Charles B. Whittlesey for the defend- ant city conferred regarding a pos- sible settlement, and at the expiration of about a haif hour returned with the announcement that -they had reached a settlement. The sum agreed to be paid Mrs. Balestrini was reported at $300.

New London business men and oth- ers are evincing much interest in the convention and it is certain that the city will have a good sized represen: tation on hand to welcome the visit- ors. Numerous brief addresses deal- ing with the development of mari- time commerce in Conmecticut will be delivered by well known speakers. At the close of the session in the coun- cil chamber, automobiles will be in readiness to convey the delegates to the state steamship terminal. FOUND DEAD IN BED. George Jacklin of Quaker Hill Acci- dentally Turned on Gas in New Lon- don House. George Jacklin, of Quaker Hill, aged about 70, was asphyxiated by gas Monday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs, I. S. Browne in Broad street. It is believed that the asphyxiation was accidental. His dead body was found in the bedroom Tuesday morning. Sunday Mr. Jacklin was the victim of an unpleasant experience at his home in Quaker Hill. While prevent- ing his housekeeper, Miss Mary Shea, from attempting to kill a cat, the woman bit Mr. Jacklin on the right hand and he was suffering considera- bly from the wound. Monday Mr. Jacklin was invited to Mr. Browne's home for a few dayys, pending an investigation into the san- ity of his housekeeper. Mr. Jacklin Wwho has been infeeble health for some time, was not accustomed to gas and electricity and before retiring Monday night Mr. Browne explained to _Mr. Jacklin the turning on and off of the gas and electricity. ¢ Mr. Jacklin oc- In the room that cupied, there is a combination gas and electric light fixture the gas. cock being close to the electric light shut off. About 6 o’clock ‘Tuesday morning Mr. Browne on arising detect- ed the odor of gas in the house and an investigation showed that it came from the room occupied by Mr. Jack- lin. He entered the room, which was full of gas, and going to the bed focnd that Mr. Jacklin was dead. Mr. Browne immediately notified Dr. Joseph M. Ganey, the family Phy- sician, who directed Mr. Browne to summon ‘Medical Examiner Lee. The medical _examiner arrived at the Browne residence about 7 o'clock and an examination revealed the fact that Jacklin_had been dead between six and eight hours. The medical examiner conducted an investigation and found that the gas had been turned on full force in the room and it is supposed that when re- tiring Mr. Jacklin opened the gas cock, mistaking it for the electric shut off. According to Medical Examiner Leo there was nothing about the circum- stances surrounding the death that indicated suicide. “While Mr. Jacklin had been mentally feeble for some time, there was noth- ing abnormal about his condition that. would induce him to commit suicide and it is asssumed that under the cir- cumstances that death was acciden- tal. Mr. Jacklin is the father-in-law of. Harry C. Browne, the well known actor. Ho was well known in Quaker Hill and greatly respected by his neighbors. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Browne, who is now in Chicago. and to whom word of her fathers death was sent Tuesday morning.
