Clark—One for Breach of Peace, the Other for Non-Support—Business of Crim- inal Session Concluded. The juries in two cases in the crim- inal common pleas court herc on Wed- nesday found the accused guilty. When the second case had been disposed of by the pronduncement of sentence the criminal court adjourned without day, having concluded the business of its November s=ession, which lasted two days and included two trials as well as about 20 other cases, which were dis- posed of in various ways. When the court came in at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning Judge C. B. Waller gave additional instruction to the jury in the case against John Dawgowitz of Stonington, who was ac- cused of breach of the peace upon his brother Edward. Tuesday afternoon the jury had the case for over an hour and at the time court adjourned for the day they reported that they had not agreed upon a verdict and did not think they could. Two of the jurors asked several questions of the judge on Wednesday morning before the 12 men went back to the jury room and were answered upon the points upon which they inquired. After further deliberation the jury finally brought in a verdict of guilty and Judge Waller sentenced John Dagowitz to pay a fine of $5 and costs, which amounted in all to 1.48. The prisoner_secured the money by send- ing word to Stonington and was taken to dinner by Deputy Sheriff Martin while he was waiting for the money to arrive. Non-Support Case. The non-support case agzainst John A. Clark of this city was taken up in the morning, after the Daw- gowitz_case had been disposed of. Mr. Clark, whose attorney was Judge John H. Barnes, was accused of fail- ing to support his wife and his 13- year-old son. Mrs. Clark was the first witness. She testified that they were married in Athol, Ma: in 1901 and that they came to orwich in 19 living for a long time in Taftville, where her husband was in charge of a station for a telegraph and telephone company. She said that her husband abused and that he deserted her on July 20, 1913 in_Danielson. She said that she knew Ernest J. Bossey and was friendly with him because her relatives knew relatives of his, but she denied that there was any wrong-do- ing between them or that she got let- ters from him. She also testified that she had known who Policeman Ed- mund Maloney was since the divorce suit that her husband brought asainst her. After her testimony the state rest- and Attorney Barnes called Mr. to the stand as the first wi er ed family $3 a week until at Taftville at an expense of Mrs. Clark took the boy away. He said he is willing to take care of the boy. Mr. Clark told of finding some letters that were from Ernest J. Bossey and they were in a bureau drawer used by himself and his wife. Some of the letters were read by Judge Barnes. They had much to_say about love. Mr. Clark sald he asked his wife about the letters and she answered, “You ought to see what I wrote back to Bossey.” She admitted to him, he cald, that she had met Bossey casually. The husband testified that he had tried to get a divorce, but had been denied and there is now a case pending. William H. Reynolds of Danielson was the next witness. He testified to a man named James Shea, a prompt- er, coming to the Clark home at Taft- ville, when they kept boarders, and remaining a night. Edmund Maloney, a Norwich policeman, gave testimony to the effect that he had seen Mrs. Clark and Bossey walking on the East Side and had also seen James Shea in 1906 or 1907 putting Mrs. Clark aboard a car late at night on North Main street. Mrs. James Kent of Taftville testi- fied that one day when the Clarks were living at her home at Danielson, where they lived for a week, she heard Mrs. Clark scream and saw her ‘waist torn and her lip cut, while Mr. and Mrs. Clark were in a room. On_ cross examination by Attorney Whittlesey, Mr. Clark admitted that he had signed a paper in which hc retracted any statements he had made derogatory to his wife’s character. George W. Kent of Danielson, son of Mrs. Kent, a previous witness, cor- roborated mother, that Mr. Clark had occupied a room at the Kent home in Danielson only one night while the Clarks were staying there. Judge Barnes showed this witness a paper that Kent had signed in which he stated that Mr. Clark occupied a room with him for a week. Mr. Kent ad- initted that he had signed this, but said that he had dome it because he as asked to do so. Mr. Clark was recalled to the stand 1id that he had not lived with is wife since the time they were in Danielson on July 12, 1912. Mr. Bos- sey was in the court room and was identified by one of the witnesses. After the arguments by , Attorney Barnes and Attorney Whittiésey were made and the judgze’s charge given, the jury received the case at 3.20. Shortly after 4 o'clock they returned with a verdict of =zuilty. Judge Waller made the sentence 60 days in jail or in liey thereof for Mr. Clark to furnish a bond to pay $5 per week for a year for support. The attorney for Mr. Clark stated after court that Mr. Clark would fur- nish the bond. ARGUMENTS BEGUN IN WOODCUTTING CASE. Avery vs. Svicer Should Reach Jury Today in Superior Court.

Burgess, Walter C. La- throp and Alonzo 1. Pierce were other witnesses for the defendant. The at- torneys for the defense rested at 2.52, and both sides rested at 3.10. Attorney C. W. Comstock made his first argument for the plaintiff, speak- ing until 410, and was followed by Attorney C. V. James for the defend- ant, who spoke until the time for court to adjourn at 4.30. Attorney James is to conclude his argument, Attorney Hull is to speak for the defendant and Attorney Com- stock again for the plaintiff before Judge William L. Bennett makes his charge to the jury.

BLUE, RED AND YELLOW SIGNS ON HIGHWAYS, Show Main Travel Routes And Indicate Danger Points. will Highway fennett made final Wednesday Commissioner Charles J. arrangements on to begin work on the es- tablishment of a color route code for the designation of the main traveled hikhways of the state. The quality of the paint to be used in the desig- ion was decided by the commis- sioned Wednesday forenoon, and, be- |zinninz next week, employes of the ! department will commence the work of painting the signs and the estab- lishment of danger signals. The colors will be blue, red and_ yellow. The work will be done under the zeneral supervision of George E.

The signs will be painted on tele- graph poles an dother places and dang>r signals will be fastened to posts, about 2,000 in all. These sig- nals will be placed at railroad cross- ings ard at cross roads where there is danger of accident. The officials of the department will not establish signs in cities as the department's jurisdiction is limited totowns. But they will communicate with the offi- cials of municipalities with the view of securing cooperation in the work of establishing ~constinuous routes through the state. The system adopted is known as the tri-color, red designating east and west routes, blue north and south, and yellow diagonal or sec- ondary routes. These colors and their "arrangement will conform to the tem of other New England states. Care will be taken that the proposed lines in this state wil con- nect with the main lines in the ad- joining states so that the torist will have continuous well-defined inter- state trunk line highways. In marking the routes posed tc use bands of color about eight inches in width on telegraph and other poles and the end posts of it is pro- railings. On continuous lengths of road ~ without interestions bands will be placed at distances between poles that will ke sufficient to in- dicate the route. At all intersecting roads four poles will be banded on either zide of the intersection to clearly direct the travel along the route. The system of color bands will be reinforced with markers in the posts of arrows and mounted on posts at main intersections. These markers will be seven inches in width enclosing an arrow five inches in width and of the same color as that which designates the route. The name of the next large town will be painted on the sign in four-inch let- ters. Where two different routes intersect, the pole at the junction will be marked by a band of each color. At this corner will be erected two or more arrow the tourist. The work of establishing this tri- color route will be continued by the department without interruption during the winter. signs directing Scarlet Fever Causes School Closing.

BEGIN WORK ON STATE HOSPITAL DAM. Reservoir Work Will Be Done by In- mates of Inebriate Farm. Thursday morning the inmates of the inebriate farm at the Norwich, state hospital will commence the con- struction work for the reservoir which is to be built at the hospital. For sume time past the inmates have been engaged in yemoving stones and brush from the farm. ‘There are now 48 inmates at the farm and the act passed by the gen- eral assembly allows the trustees to provide additional quarters if deemed necessary. The matter of providing accommodations for ten or a dozen more inmates will be taken up at the Jenuary meeting. The superintendent states that now he has a dozen or more applicants on the waiting list. Accommodations may be made for these applicants by build- ing a slight addition to the dining room, with dormitory quarters above. When the dress rehearsal of the vaudeville ertertalnment was given last Saturday evening at the amuse- ment hall at the hospital, the men al the inebricte farm were allowed to at- tend. Though it is a mile from the farm dormitory to the main hospital buildings, they were allowed to go both ways without any attendants and none took advantage of the confidence reposed in them by failing to report back at the farm on time. SEWER HEARING. Jointly Held by City and Town Rep- resentatives at Mr. Del Carlo’s Re- quest.
