While he was waiting for help to come, he saw the accused walk past one of the upper windows of the house and later go past a' window in one of the rooms on. the lower floor. He got a good look at Cole and a little later found him along the road and took him into custody. He found on him a small fancy bottle of brandy and a box of Bengal cigars. They took the man to the town farm and while there Cole made four trips to the toilet.

The witness denied absolutely that he had entered the Angel house or done any shoottg in it, and eaid it was over six months or more since he had been there. °. To State's Attorney Hull on cross examination the accused said he never knew Mr. Angel or any of the witne: es, and he could mot tell why such things should be testified against him, and as far as he knew the commode wasn't shot full of holes. The witness said he was not drunk that day, nor under the influence of any drug, re- membered perfectly about the circum- stances of his arrest and the whole story was trumped up against him, Mrs. Grace Cahoon;, a nurse, who makes her home with her father, Al- bert Whipple, of Ledyard, testified tha Cole had lived with the Whipple fam- ily like one of the family.

The man said he is married and has ‘six children and that his wife is in a delicate condition. In rebuttal Major Hull put Clerk A. J.

They se- cured his interest by pretending to be trying to help him find a customer for a farm he wanted to sell and they paid his expenses, as well as those of his wife, for a trip to Bostbn to see the supposed customer. Finally, when they were ready to make the cleanup they had been working for, they told Ba- dowsky how they could make money fast for him, and they left a machine at his house in which he supposed the $1,100 he put into their hands had been placed. This machine was to make the momey grow over night, Plotkowsky was told. / .When the Greeneville man became anxious over the failure of one of the two men to return as he had promised, he looked into the machine and found only some paper. After the case had been reported to the Norwich police they got on the trail of Badowsky and with the infor- mation that they were able to furnish the state police followed up the case and caught Badowsky in Chicago.

O'Brien of Cants Mass., papsed away Tuesday evenidg, September 14th, at the home of her grandniece, Mrs. James W. Bussey, 105 CUff street, in this city as the result of injuries and shock recetved in an automobile accident” which occurred Sunday, Sept. 5, 1915. She was trav- eling from Canton, Mass., to the home of Mr. Bussey, with J. Albert Robin- ®on, his father, John B, and sister, M. Isabel, when the machine suddenly lurched off the road, due to a defective steering rod, and all were thrown Into the road. 'Miss O'Brien received a broken thigh, multiple bruises, and se- vere shock. Mi€f Robinson received a broken coliar bone, and the men were sprained and bruised. Miss Abbie Gavitt O'Brien was born in Preston, Conn., July 31, 1837, her parents being George O'Brien and Hannah Turner. She is survived by two brothers, John Turner, of Mohe- gan, Conn, and Byron M., a well known resident of Groton, Conn. and three sisters, Mrs. William A. (Han- nah) Church, of Massapeag, Con: Mrs. Nelson (Emma) Romeh of Led- yard, and Mrs. Capt. Simeon (Eliza) Church of Norwich, Conn., There are also two nieces and four nephews and seventeen grandnieces and grand- nephews who hold her in affectionate memory. She was brought up in Ledyard, but her early womanhood was largely spent in Mystic, Conn., at the home of William Batty, well known through- out New London county two decades ago. In the fall of 1884 she becam the housekeeper of Mr. Bat nephew, John B. Robinson, of Can ton, Mass., where she has resided ever since, except for extended summer va- cations spent with her relatives and friends in Connecticut. Her sweet and serene pergonality soon endeared her to 3 host of friends and she took an active interest in church organizations until 1898, at which time she lost the sight of one eye, and withdrew largely from outside interests. She was de- voted to her adopted home, where the beauty of her character was deeply appreciated. Miss O'Brien suffered a stroke of paralysis about six months sgo, which she endured with her venal fortitude and patience. She longed to see her people again, and a trip to Connecti- cut was planned, to be made in two easy stages by automobile, as being the easlest for her. She looked for- ward to this trip with keen anticipa- tion and stood it well up to the time of the accident. Miss O'Brien was “Aunt Abble” to all who knew her well, and she was always loved by young folks, in whom she always took an affectionate inter- est. One of the abiding pleasures of her life was in remembering a host of young friends and relatives at birthday anniversaries, sciool graduations, hol- idays and at other times, and she had a rare faculty for choosing beautiful and appropriate gifts. She took great comfort in needlework, some form of which was her constant companion during lefsure hours. She loved to read good books and even more, to bestow good books upon others. Her whole life was one of useful devoted service and self sacrifice in the inter- est 4f others, whom she loved as deep- ly a¥ her many friends and relatives loved- her. The Rev. Isabela S. Macduff, pastor of the First Universalist church, Can- ton, Mass., will conduct the services here. Burial will be at Groton. Miss Julia B. James.
