Buddington alleged to have put the poison in a sugar bowl from which Whipple used muger dally. Buddington pleaded not gullty to the charge several days ago. :u"i'.. Shumway asked If any of the jurora .had heard or read anything about the case or had formed any opinion which would prevent their trial of the case and Albert Stanton, a Grot- on juryman, stated that he had formed an opinion and was excuged® The other Groton jurors had been preyiously e cused. "The following jury was the selected to try the casei James Johnston, W. A. Ames, George I, Wil- cox, Fred D. Knapp, William_P. Biid loss, Charles W. Ghapman, . Georse Copp, W. A. Harrison, Lyman D, Harding, W. N. Sawyer, William Rob- erts and Hallock Gillett. S Whipple, whom Buddington iy charged with attempting to poison, was the first. witness called by the state. Whipple said that he was en- gaged in carpentering now and re- sided in Poquonoc on the Centre Groton road. He sald that he had known Buddington for about five years, which is the time he had lived at his present home and Buddington stayed at his home for mbout two weeks in December three vears ago. On the day of the alleged attempted poisoning the witness said that Bud- dington came_to his house about 9 o'clock, saying that he was on his way to Centre Groton to buy some apples. Buddinston stayed there until shortly after 11 o'clock, when he left. About 11 o'clock- Whipple said that he went out to get an armful of kindling wood, leaving Buddington in the kitchen alone. The witness testified that he was in the habit of having his table set all the time and the sugar bowl together with other dishes was on the table when Buddington called. After Buddington's departure, Whip- ple noticed sugar on the plate from which he ate each day and he sur- mised that Buddington must have taken some sugar. He saw that the cover to the sugar bowl was tipped which was unusual and upon looking into the receptacle noticed a lump of some forelgn substance which he knew was not sufar. His suspicions were aroused and he took the contents of the bawl to Prosecuting Attorney B rows and subsequently an @nalysis was made and it was found to contain arsenic or rough on rats. After testimony by Dr. F. W. Hewes as to his examination of Buddington two years ago, when the man was committed to the Norwich state hos- pital, and by Judge of Probate An- derson of Groton, court adjourned till the nexj day at 10 in the mornins.

Cronin was the first witness and he described the wounds which he found when he attended Buka at the police station on the night of the cutting, He said that he found three ‘wounds, one of the right side of the chest about two inches from the spine and a third on the head. The first was the most serious, the other two being superficial.. They were all stab wounds. At the conclusion of the testimony of Dr. Cronin, Attorney Smith stated to the court after the jury had been excused that his client was willing to plead guilty to the charge of simple ‘assault. State Attorney Hull agreed to with- draw the charge of assault with in- tent to kill and substitute the charge of simple assault. Judge Shumway accepted the substituted complaint and the accused was put to plea on the new charge and pleaded guilty, State - Attorney ‘Hull moved for a sentence - immediately, and Judze Bhumway sentenced Chimbroski three months in ail: Boy ta Reform School, Bdward Dorsey, 16 year old son of Dorsey of New London, was committed to the state school for boys in Meriden by Judge Shumway. Youw& Dorsey was up be- fore the'court on the charge of steal- ing a bicyele belonging to Eugene Wil- lis from the barn of Judge William B, Colt on April 18. Dorsey had pleaded not gullty to the charge of breaking and entering on the opening day of the court, but this morning State Attorney Hull sald that he had withdrawn that charge and substituted a charge of simple theft. The boy was put to plea and pleaded guilty, ~Attorney Warren B. Burrows, Who appeared for the boy, was guar- dian ad litem and made a plea for leniency, which was opposed by the states attorney, Nolle In Barge Case. In the case against Lewis Bargo, States Attorney Hull made a. statement thaat the man had separated from his wife for a long time and had be- come Intimate with a young girl and they lived fogether. He was arrested on the charge of seduction and at the last term of the court the case was continued to permit of Bargo getting a divorce and marry the girl. He had obtained the diverce and mar- ried the girl and moved for a nolle in the case which was sranted. The Same in Spencer Case. The oase against Fred _Spencer, grand juror of the town of Montville, charged with assault with intent to kill Joseph Gallipo last fall was nolled, State Attorney Hull stated that the trouble bétween the two men arose when Spencer as grand juror went to Gallipo's house to admonish him against the illegal sale of liquor. A quarrel ensued in which both men were quite seriously injured. At the last term of the court Gallipo was placed on thial but after the testimony for the state was in, he had beceme satisfied that Gallipo could net be convicted and the cese was nolled. There was a deal of conflict- ing evidence in the affair and the state attornew didn't ses how a conviction could be secured egainst Spencer. He moved for a nolle and it was granted to Probation: Under Suspendad Sentence. | N, State. Attorney Hull moved for a sentence in the case of Mike Kissell of this city, who pleaded guilty last (he charge of _obtalning £oods under false pretenses When sentence was deferred until Tuesday. The state attorney stated that he had had aseurances from a thoroughly re- sponsible business man in New Lon- don that he would give Kissell em- e Saa et et Esbeaii 3t ouainad the woods:on, woasgs, ¢ hunger and be knew nothing against him previus to this time.

He went to Waterford and saw a chicken in the road which he hit With a club killing it. He picked it up and went oft with it. Youngs did not know to wrom the chicken belonged and prob. ably never meant to kill it. The at- torney stated that the accused had never been known to be dishonest and this was confirmed by Deputy Sheriff Manuuel J, Martin who knows _the accused well they having neighbors for-a long time. Attorney Pettis asked that Youngs be placed on probation. State Attorney Hull said that Youngs had spent his meney for drink and probably wanted more which led him ‘to kill the chicken. The only fault he found with the man was his weakuess for lquor and in view of his past record for honesty he would recommend that he be placed in the custody of Probation Officer Mans- fleld which was granted by the court.

During the funeral hour the mill at Fitchville was closed. The death of Mr. McManus marks the only break in his immediate family of thirteen, Since his demise Saturday evening a continual throng of relatives and friends called at his: late resi- dence to pay their last respects and to offer sympathy to the bereaved fam- ily. Among_ those who called were many from Norwich, Willimantic, New London, Providence, Centerville, R. L., and vicinity, Baltic, Jewett City, New York city, Brookiyn and other towns, as well as practically the entire popu- lation of the village where he spent the last years of hls life. No greater tribute can be paid to his manner of life than that manifested by the loyalty and devotion of his friends at his death. In his chosen life work, that of painter and decorator, in all its practical branches, he was a thor- ough craftsman. Kor many years his work has been of a supervising char- acter, and he thoroughly devoted his life to it. The highest interest of his employers were his interest at all times and he won and maintained their fullest confidence. His work was never mediocre, but despatch, neatness and effect marked every act. Mr. McManus was born at River Point, R. I, and was a member of the baseball ciub of. that village in his youth, and at a time when River Point possessed the leading amateur base- ball club of the state of Rhode Island. This was always his favorite sport and he was enthusiastic for it to the end. Part of Mr. McManus' life was spent in Baltic and New London, and he always took an active interest in all things local, but his chief interest in that direction were employed in benefit and charitable work. He was always glad to assist materially in promoting any- thing for the good of the vicinity in which he lived. The instances of such acts would probably number in the hundreds. For a friend he would go the limit and was never happier than when as- sisting one he liked. His private life was such as might well be emulated. He was to his children a companion as well as a father and the hospitality of his home knew no bounds or recog- nized a limit. His life was a useful one and he was, in the literal meaning of the phrase, a Christian man end a good citizen, with a full acknowleds- ment of the rights of others to their beliefs and amilations.
