George W. Woodard was called by the defense and he presented a dia- gram of the location of Mrs, Barber's fall. A deposition from Edward Buffum of Tampa, Fla, was read. Mr. Buffum said that he was a witness of the ac- cident. It was his opinion that the rope over which Mrs, Barber fell was stretched tightly at the time. Elmer Gallup of Norwich stated that he was employed by the defendant at the time of the accident. He admitted that it was possible for the rope to slacken a little as it unwound from the drum if it were not held tightly. Charles H. Brown, another employe of the defendant, testified about the ac- cident, Other witnesses were called by the defense during the afternoon session of court, but no new evidence was presented. At about 4.30 p. m. Judge Stearns summoned the jurors and or- dered a verdict directed in favor of the defendant. The jurors were ex- cused until 10.30 this (Tuesday) morn- ing, and court adjourned for the day. Word has been received of the death of Mrs. Lucy F. Gilbert, sister of Mrs. H. B.

MAHAN RETIRING FROM NEW LONDON MAYORALTY, Made Announcement Monday Night at Council Meeting THere. At the meeting of the New London court of common council Monday evening Mayor Bryan F. Mahan an- nounced his retirement from' the may- oralty, to take effect some time during the current month. It was the last council meeting over which Mayor Mahan will preside, but as there are several matters which he desires to have disposed of before leaving office, he is not now able to fix the precise date of his resignation. He will take over the position of postmaster after relinquishing the mayoralty. Besides retiring as meyor, he will cease to be a member of the New Lon- don harbor commission and of the board of trustees of Connecticut Col- lege for Women, both of which are ex-officio positions. Mayor Mahan has been a leading figure in the affairs of his native city for many years. He represented New London in’ the legislature of 1882 and 1883. He was postmaster under the second Cleveland administration and before becoming mayor served on the water and school boards. In 1885 he was nominated as the democratic can- didate for secretary of state d al- though given a plurality of 2,000 votes he was not permitted to hold office because he did not poll a majority over all other candidates. Had Mayor Mahan desired to fill out the remainder of his present term, ‘which expires in October, he would have completed nine years in the may- oralty chair. He was first elected in 1803 and again in 1909 end 1912. In the fall of 1910 he was elected state senator by a majority of mnearly 700, and in 1912 he was elected to con- gress from the Second congressional district. ‘The Temarkable progress which New London has made during the regime of Mayor Mahan is a matter of statewide knowledge. In the past four years more than 50 miles of granolithic side- walks have been constructed. The ad- dition of 100 acres of woodland to the park system and the creation of beauty laots and breathing places within the city were projects conceived by him. Following the strenuous campaign for the establishment of Connecticut College for Women, in which Mayor Mahan played a conspicuous part, he took up the memorable project of se- curing from the legislature of Con- necticut an appropriation of $1,000,000 for the creation of a state steamship terminal in New London. $So lightly Was_1he.nropesition regarded et -first The Nemo Hygienic-Fashion in NEw YoRK ~ NEMO ' NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, MAY 4 T9TS Trolleys Lead 2 ) To : This Is “Nemo” Week THE WAY TO PROPERLY SELECT is to have one of our experts fit you to the corsets which were designed for your figure—for them to see that in size and proportions “the” model of the many is the In this way you will be able to enjoy that great comfort which perfectly fittin EXPERT FITTER IN ATTENDANCE stitute has been duly admitted to membephi Nemo Hygieaic- instructiags, rights % | The Business Center of Norwich and with the corset you are wearing?

Gradually the force of his personality drew support- ers to his standard and in the face of antagonism from even his own city the measure became a law. At the time a committee of citizens presented him a purse of $5,000, together with resolu- tions of esteem and confidence. By a strange coincidence Mayor Ma- han went on Monday to the New Lon- don waterfront and watched steamship Bessie Dollar ail up the harbor with her immense cargo of lumber after her voyage of 7,000 miles from the Pacific coast. Mayor Mahan looked at the scene long and earnestly. Then“he said: ‘““There is a vision of the years to come. Perhaps I shall not live to see it, but younger men will. They will sée a big and prosperous city, teeming with Industry and ocean commerce. They will have brought forcibly home to them the truth of the statement made by an official of the Robert Dol- lar Steamship company _today that there is no_harbor on the Atlantic coast so adapted to the handling of big cargoes as that of our own New London.” BRIEF STATE NEWS Cheshire.—Eri D.
