WIFE CALLED “BEAT ITI" Another Man, When Frank Craine Unexpectedly Appeared — Divorce Granted - Sterling Husband, The first business before the short calendar session of the superior court Friday was the calling of the docket. About fifty or more cases were or- Qered discontinued, and an opportunity will be given mnext Thursday at the next short calendar.day, for the res- toration of »any of these upon cause shown. There, were but three matters on the short calendar list, aside from the trial list. The following cases were assigned for trial: William N. Potter, admr. vs, Mary L. Turner, first case; Elizabeth H,_ Lovejoy ve. Frederick H. Lovejoy, second case, and Samuel E, Lyman vs. Lucy A. Lyman, third case, all three being set down for Wednesday, May 26th, In the case of Alfred Oden vs. L. G. Schroeder, by agreement between Samuel B. Harvey and Frank H. Fos the attorneys in the case, judgme: Awill be entered for the sum of $1,816.87 and a stipulation to that effect will be filed. The only short calendar matter heard, was the uncontested divorce ac- tton ot Frank Craine of Sterling against Lucy A. Craine. The divorce was granted on the ground of adul- tery, and the custody of the only child of the union, a girl of four years, was glven to the father. The couple were married June 24, |1910, and lived in harmony until the first part of September, 1914, when as the plaintiff testified, his attention was called to his wife’s actions, and going home unexpectedly he saw an- other man leaving by the rear door, as his wife called out “Beat it!” His wife was at that time sitting in the kitchen in a condition of considerable undress and she later admitted her guilt, but the husband forzav and she promised to be good. on, however, other actions were ticed, and she again admitted her re- lations with the man, and firally left her husband’s home in October of that year, and had not lived with him since, but, he said, lived at her sister’s in the same house with the man in the case. Other witnesses testified to the ac- tions of the couple and especially in regard to a Sunday school picnic to Rocky Point, at which time the wife and another married woman went away on the Providence boat with two men, and she did not return to Rer home until after midnight, and said she was brought there in an auto with the corespondent. Among those who testified were Mrs, Craine, moth- er of the complainant, Mrs. Gertrude Thornley, Mrs. 'sther Shorro and Mrs. Bvelyn Greenman. HUBER CLARK MEMORIALIZED.

State’s Attorney Charle: Searls as a committee of one reported re: Jutions upon the death of Huber Clark, dean of the county bar, which were unanimousl vadopted. Atterney Thom- as J.

SADD CASE NOT FINISHED. \ Much Testimony Taken Before Court Adjourned, to Come in at 10 O'Clock Tuesday. The case of T. R. Sadd Co. against the town of Windham, an appeal from the board of relief,” was taken up again Friday shortly before 12 o'clock, and not finished when court adjourn- ed at 4 o'clock. It will be resumed at 10 o'clock Tuesday, when it is ex- pected that the assessors and board of relief will go upon the stand to tell their side of the controversy. Fri- day’s session was chiefly occupied with estimates of the cost of the building put in by the defense to justify their figures. Mr. Sadd went upon the stand fi in the completion of the plainti case, to correct a statement made by him Thursday in regard to the 1913 DO IT THE VACUUM WAY Save Time and Labor VACUUM WASHERS 89c VACUUM SWEEPERS $6.50 VACUUM CLEANERS $18.50 and up DR.

Willimantic, Ct. ‘Telephone Lady Assistant inventory of his stock. He sald the inventory included $1,244.60, which was out of town, and the horse and auto, etc, amounted to $355, making the 'total of the inventory $4,006.67. This, however, he said, was not & corréct inventory. Valentine Murphy's Evidence, The plaintiff rested, and Valentine L. Murphy, a member of the firm of Doyle & Murphy, contractors and builders, was put on by the town to tell what he considered the cost of building the Sadd block. He stated that there were two methods of fixing the cost of a building, but he consid- ered that of going by the number of cubic inches contained _therein the better. He thought the Sadd building in 1913 could have been constructed for about 14 or 15 cents a cubic foot as far as the brick part was concern- ed, and about ten cents for the wood- en part. He figured 225,760 cubic inch- es for the brick part, and at 12 cents, which he said_allowed for deprecia- tion, that would make $27,091.20 with- out’ any electrical apparatus except the wiring. The wooden building he figured 28,800 cubic. feet at nine cents a foot, making $2,592. He did not think a building such as had been described by Clarence Sadd could be bullt in Hartford for $12,000, but would cost twice that amount. He also figured by the unit system, taking the amounts necessary for different sections of the work, and arrived at about the same total, $29,596 for both buildings com- plete. He thought it could have been built for that 15 years ago. On cross examination he said the building was worth as much now or more than when it was built, if that was 15 or 25 years ago, as he had allowed for that in his figuring. He took his measurements and did his figuring Thursday. He said it was impossible to bulld the cellar for $1,100. Contractor Caisse Testifies. Following the noon recess Alexis Chisse, contractor and builder, and member of the board of aldermen, took the stand, to testify also as to the cost of construction. He said that F. W. Gerrick was the building inspector, and had never reported to the board of aldermen that the boiler in the Sadd building was not in proper shape. He worked on the building 20 years ago. He estimated the value at the present exclusive of the electrical appliances, at $31,000. It would cost $35000 or $36,000 to replace it now. Joseph H. Jones, mason and con- tractor, estimated the masonry work in the Sadd building at $13,053. He couldn’t remember what the work cost when put in, although he worked on the job, but thought perhaps $1,500 less than the amount stated. I, Eugene Lincoln of Lincoln & Boss, coal and lumber, stated that he was for nine years president of the Willimantic Savings Institute, and familiar from that fact and because of his own property holdings and his usiness with real estate and con- uction values. He had recently vned the McAvoy block next to the dd building, and it was heated and ted from ‘the Sadd plant. He put the value of the land there at $250 a front foot, and the building at $2 825.60. On cross examination he said he sold the Me. voy property for $17,500. This in rather poor re- s. The income was about two thousand dollars gross, H said six per cent. met I8 a fair re turn for Main street property. Set Electrical Values. Leonard C. Burr, an electrician em- ployed by John T. Ashton, put the fol- owing values on the articles in_ the ‘electrical plani of the Sadd Co.: Stor- age battery, $800: old dynamo, $300 v_dynamo, $600; booster, ard, $200, a’ total of $2,100. plates and put the storage battery in good condition, good condition. new dynamo was bought for $500 sec- ond hand eight years ago, it was now He said $300 would buy new He said_even if the worth $600, in answer to a question by Mr. Harvey on cross examination. Selectman Mitchell Questioned. Robert B, Mitchell, first selectman, was called’ to_ testify to statements made by Mr, Sadd on the occasion of the meeting’ of the board of relief and assessors in February, He said Mr. Sadd placed no vaiue on any of his property, but did say that $1,000 was too low on his stock in_trade, and that he would sell the property for less than it was assessed for. He said something about advice of coun- sel, but witness couldn’t remember just what it was. On cross examina- tion witness sald the meeting lasted three-quarters of an hour or more, and was pretty hot in spots. Frank P. Fenton, recalled, testified also to the meeting of the board of relief. Mr, Sadd said he would pro- duce the 1913 inventory if his wife had not burned it up. He-declined to answer some questions, stating it was on advicé of counsel, and he said he thought $3,500 too high for his stock, and $1,000 too low. Witness did not think he put a specific value on any of the property. Court then adjourned until 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, when the case will be resumed. 1914, FUNERALS, Abby J. Bullard.
