The principal witnesses for the state Thursday were Mr. and Mrs. Burdick and their son, Franklin. Mr. Burdick told of the attempt to dynamite the farm where he lived. A big stone wall was blown up. Mr. Burdick told of another incident when he saw a flash outside of his home about 10 o'clock at night and with his son went to the door. Soon after he heard about 25 shots fired at his house. He said the son took a shotgun to defend himself. Mrs. Burdick told a similar story of the alleged attempts to dynamite the Burdick property and to kill her. She told of being constantly harassed b ythe accused. The son's testizcny was in corroboration of that of his parents, Lieutenant owning of the state po- lice and State Policeman Jackson were at the hearing to assist in the prose- cution. They have investigated the case and are familiar with the evi- dence. This case has created quite a stir in Waterford and the outcome Is awaited with interest. There has been a feud, it is said, for a long time between the parties to the dispute.

The pres- told the Suit for $10,000 damages has been brought against the city of Norwich on account of the death of Henry J. Kilroy, Jr., of Norwich Town who was killed by an electric shock on August 19, 1914 while he was in the employ of John O. Johnson and was at work on a chimney on the cily barn at the corner of Bath and Chestnut streets. The suit is brought by Henry J. Kilroy, father of the young man, as adminstrator of his son’s estate, and Attorney J. J. Desmond is his counse! In the papers drawn the claim is made that while in the exercise of due care, young Kilroy on the roof of the barn, engaged in making repairs near some metallic wire running along Chestnut street close to the roof and that he fell -or leaned against or took hold of one or more of the wires, and was thereby by means of the current, then and there fatally shocked and injured. The claim is made further that the defendant corporation In so placing, stringing, using and maintaining its power transmission wires, near the roof, wrongfuly and negligently placed, strung, used and maintained the wires, which were thus highly dangerous to life of any person, in- cluding sald intestate, who might be engaged in working om, or repairing the roof near the wires, and the fatal injury to, and the death of the plain- tiff’s intestate was ca: solely and directly by the negligence of the de- fendant, through the carelessness of its servants, officers and agents, in so placing, stringing, using and main- taining the transmission wires near the roof; by the negligence of the said defendant corporation = through the carelessness of its servants, agents and officers, in negligently permitting the dangerous wires to remain in close proximity to the roof; in negli- gently failing and omitting to proper- ly, or adequately insulate, cover, or Rollo F.

GENERAL CONFERENCE OF CHRISTIAN WORKERS. Daily Song Service at Northfield One of the Popular Features. East Northfield, Mass, Aug. 65— Dally song services in charge of Charles M. Alexander are proving one of the most popular features of the general conference of Christian work- ers which is now in full swing at Northfield. Mr. Alexander, toured the world with the e Torrey and Chapman, was secured for the conference at the last minute through his inability to take a trip to England. He is leading the singing at the two dally platform meetings and conducting a personal work and song service every morning and a second song service at_the close of the even- ing meetings. His success in bringing out the spirit of the hymns and get- ing everyone to join in the singing has given him a foremost reputation among the leaders of religious singing. 4 The conference will continue through Sunday, Aug. 15. Another daily part of the programme, besides Mr. Alexan- der’s services, is a series of Bible lec- tures by Rev. A. T. Robertson of Louisville, Ky. Dr. Robertson is a leading Greek scholar and a speaker who brightens his lectures by his in- formal manner and humorous com- ments. A series of lectures delivered at a previous conference has been pub- lished. The attendance is increasing and a series of famous speakers are addressing large audiences at morn- ing and evening services and at Round Top.
