Jo- The-direct testimony for-the-plain- tiff in the’$15000 suit of Loretto Roma of - Montville against Thames River Specialties, compeny was concluded in the superlor court here Wednesday afterncon before Judge Gardiner Greene and a jury, and the testimony for the defense was begun. Two widely varying accounts of just how Roma lost his leg in an elevator accident at the mill in Montville over a year ago were disclosed by the the first witness for company. In Roma’'s story he claimed he was thrown to_the floor of the ele- vator by its sudden jumping motion, while the first witness for the defense elevator with his legs hanging ‘over the side. Marcello Montesi, William' Brown, James Daniels and Sadie Montesi were among the last witnesses on Tuesday, 119 | ang when court came in on Wednesday 95| Attorney C: W. Comstock for the ; | Plaintif called Charles H. Preston, the architect, to the stand. He testified to his knowledge of hydraulic and steam elevators, of which he had installed about 40, he said. The witness had a plan which he had been asked to make of such an elevator as Roma was hurt on, but he was not allowed to use it, as he had never seen the elevator and had only made the plan from photographs and what he had read of some of the testi- mony. Ernest E. Hamilton and Albert H. Boue were two other witnesses. Louls J. Dondero was sworn in as interpre- ter, and Antonio Roma, a relative of Loretto, gave his testimony through the intérpreter. Plaintiff’s Testimony. The plaintiff, Loretto Roma, who uses crutches, a8 his left leg is off above the knée, was the last witness put on the stand before Attorney Com- stock closed his case. He testified that he had been working for the Cli- max company for three weeks and that on May 13, 1912, he was told by the foreman to o from the top floor to the cellar to get some paper. This was just as the noon whistle blew. After eating his dinner, tried to find the paper in the cellar, but could not find any, and he then went to the next foor of_the mill. He said he saw the elevator moving up slowly and when he got on the ele- vator gave a jump and he was thrown on to the floor of the elevator so that his feet and legs protruded over the edge and were caught and crushed when the elevator reached the floor above. One leg was so badly crushed that it had to be amputated above the nce. On_cross examination by Attorney Avery, the witness was asked about various points in his testimony on the trial of ‘the case aegainst the Climax company. He genied that he had testified in the way that the attorney inquired about, saying that the interpreter at that trial misunderstood. He claimed on one point that what he said was that it was the elevator that jumped and ot he that jumped on the elevator. Testimony for Defense. James Tyler of Westerly, a mason for 25 years, who was employed about the Thames River Speclalties company mill at the time of the accident to Roma, was the first witness for the defendant company. He said he saw the accident to Roma, being on the stock room floor at the mill, between 12.15 and 12.30. He had a clear view of the elevator and saw the elevator between the floors, with Roma sitting on it with his legs hanging over the front edge, and his arms folded, and {he was looking around. As the plain- tiff's head was going through the floor, Roma turned, made two or three grabs at the chain, but missed it. Roma twisted around to get out, the witness said, and got his right leg out, but the other leg was caught, and when the elevator stopped all the witness could see of Roma was one foot sticking out under the elevator. The witness said there was no change of speed in the elevator, and from the position in which he saw Roma sitting he antici- pated seeing ome of the plaintiff's feet drop off. - Attorney Avery had Mr. Tyler sit on one end of the table In the court room to ehow the position in which he said he saw Roma on the elevator. Stenographer on Stand. Superior Court Stenographer Win- fleld C. Graham was called to the stand by the defendant's lawyers and was asked to turn to and read his steno- graphic notes of the previous trial. Attorney Comstock objected, but At- torney Avery claimed Roma's whole testimony in the previous trial was entirely contradictory to the testimony now given by Roma under oath in this case. Judge Greene ruled against admit- ting the entire testimony on the ground that it did not appear that the entire testimony was contredictory, but said that the attorneys for the defend- ant might proceed to show specific in- stances of contradiction in testimony. Attorney Avery had Stenographer Graham read several answers made by Roma in the previous case as shown by the printed record. Some of these showed that Réma testified that he jumped on to the elevator and was struck by the floor of the elevator and thrown on to the floor of the elevatop, leaving his legs and feet sticking out, hanging on to, the elevator. There were also_answers in which the wit- ness said he knew neither how to stop nor start the elevator. Attorney Avery for the defendant also claimed the entire printed testi- mony of Joseph Rome. taken in the former trial is contradictory to what Joseph Roma had testified to in this trial. Judge Greene made a ruling on this similar to what he had done be- fore. Items from the printed testimony of the cross examination of Dr. M. E. Fox of Montville in the former tria] were also pat in evidence. George A. Chagnon, foreman for the Climax company, was the following witness. He identified a cardboard sign which had been taken from the elevator, giving notice that the ele- vator was not a passenger elevator — In the the in to 1861 offer to the public the finest standard brands of Beer of Europe and America: Bohemian, Pilsner, Culmbach Bavarian Beer, Bass, Pale and Burton Muer's Scotch_Ald Guinness' Dublin Stout, C. & C.

The foreman said Loretto had never complained to-him about the elevator jumping. The foreman contradicted Roma’s testimony that he had been instructed by the foreman to go after some paper at the time of the accident. Judge Greene adjourned court at 4.30 untfl Friday morning at 10 o'clock. He told the jury that they would be excused until Tuesday next week, as the court would not be able to take up the Roman case agein until then. POULTNEY BIGELOW BEFORE N. F, A.

According to the report of the com- mittes on statistics and origin of fres of the National Board.of Fire Under- writers of New York, for 1914, dated May 27, 1915, and just received by Fire Chief Howard L. Stanton, Nor- {ich had a dre loss of $1.12 per cap- ita for the year, while New London’s Der caplta 10ss for the year was $2.96, which s $1.8¢ more per capita. Other per capita losses for the year in Con- necticut citles follow: BEridgeport, $0.89; Danbury, $2.96; Hartford, $3.54; Meriden, $0.33; ' New Britain, 30.5! New Haven, $2.30; Stamford, $2.71; Waterbury, $1.17. Norwich has a total of 5,370 build- ings of all kinds while New London has 3,710 buildings. In Norwich dur- ing 1914 there were 231 alarms, while New London had 137 alarms. Two hundred and twenty-nine of the 230 ires in Norwich during 1914 were conflned to the bullding or place of origin. The total value of property upon which claim was made for the fires in Norwich during the year was $1,193,569. In New London for the same period the amount was $788,650. The instirance loss on the Norwich buildings was but $32,709, while the insurance loss in New London was $50,274. Ninety-nine per cent, of the fires in Norwich were confined to the building, or place of origin. To each 100 buildings Norwich had 4.28 fires, while New London had 3.61 fires, The committee report states.tbat the total fire loss in the United States approximates_$221,000,000. This figure was not exceeded in any other years except 1904 and 1906, the Baltimore and San Francisco conflagrations. A comparison of the reports by cities with similar data for 1913 shows in- creased losses in many of them and the list of cities in which the loss ex- ceeded $5 per capita is larger than for the preceding three years. This tends to indicate that the total in- crease in the fire loss for 1914 was quite well gdistributed over the entire country. The tabulation of fire losses by this committee has been carried on since 1889, Galveston, Texas, with a population of 47,000, an area of 6% miles and a total of 625 fires, shows a per capita Joss of $33.06, the greatest per capita loss in the United States. The total value ofb property involved in the fires on which claim for loss was made was $5, 43 and the total insurance loss was $462,337. FAT MAN'S CLUB AT BLOCK ISLAND. New England Heavyweights Will Vis- it There After Boat Race Day. Block Island got along with a light rainfall in May, according to the weather records, but may _ expect something heavy in June.

It may be reinforce the wharf in Man’s_club will that date on its to New Harbor on which the fat men will land and there is a probability of a movement being undertaken to have the stoutest of the natives move to the necessary opposite side of the island when the visitors ‘come aboard,” to avold ex- tra_heavy seas being shipped. The Providence constituency will be in the rendezvous of fat men at Pal- mer, Mass., on Thursday, June 24.

Parker of Bradford, Vt., and Tr urer Jerome Hale of Wells River, V will do the “personal conducting” fo that portion of the club’s membership from northern New England points. The fact that the time of the sum- mer outing of the Fat Men's club and the college races coincide is expected to attract a larger number of members than ever. More than 100 have assur- ed the officers that they will attend, and many will bring their wives and friends. BRIDGEPORT SOLDIERS WILL LOSE THEIR VOTES. Be at Fort Wright at Time of Special City Election. s- will Bridgeport has a special election on June 19 to vote on commission govern- ment.

At Shelton, manufacturers and oth- ers anticipate a business boom as the result of the purchase of the old United States Gun and Ammunition company plant. later occupied by the Driges-Seabury company, by L. Y. Spear of New London, president of the Shipbuilding and Engine company_of Groton, It is understood that ~Mr. Spear bought the plant for the General Ordnance company of Delaware. The plant, which is located in Derby, on the canal of the Housltonic Power company, consists of a large tract of land and sevcral buildings, fairly well | equipped with machinery, for the man- ufacture of rapid fire guns and ord- nanc Mr. Spear obtained an option on several acres of adjoining land and upon the plant of the Willlams Type- writer company near by. Those famil- iar with the situation believe that the transaction foreshadows the establish- ment of a large ordnance plant and the employment of several hundred men. EDWIN P. LYON.
