TURNER Jury Finds For Him in Suit Brought Against Executrix of His Adopted Father’s Estate—Lebanon Case is Last of Superior Court Trials This Week. At 3.05 o'clock Thursday afternoon the jury in the superior court here brought in a verdict in the case of Arthur P. Turner, administrator, of Lebanon, against Thusa Gidman Tur- ner, executrix, which has been on trial since Tuesday morning. Through Fore- man John H. Stedman of North Ston- ington they reported that they found for the defendant on the first count, but for the plaintiff on the second count and that they assessed the dam- ages which he was entitled to recover at $1,822.75. The verdict also carries costs. Judge Willlam L. Bennett reminded the jury that he had instructed them that if they found for the plaintiff, Mr. Turner, he would be entitled to in- terest from the first of July, 1912, but that they could not find for a larger amount than the $1,600 on which the suit was brought and he had also told them that they ought to deduct $100. He thought the amount seemed large and he advised the jury to retire and look over their figures again. It was explained to the judge by several of the jurors, without leaving the court room, that they had deducted $110 from the sum claimed and had allowed interest for the time stated and they believed their figures were correct. Judge Bennett then accepted the verdict and after the attorneys on both sides had fisured on the interest, all expressed themselves as satisfled that the figuring was right. The count in the complaint upon which the jury found for the defend- ant was that in which it was claim- ed that a trust was created in the matter of the $1,620.36, which was left in the hands of Rev. Robert E. Tur- ner from his first wife, Mary A. Stod- dard Turner, but the count upon which they found for the plaintiff, who was the adopted son of Rev. Turner was the one based on the claim that Rev. Turner had converted the money to his own use. It is believed that the case may go to_the supreme court. When court opened on Thursday morning, Major Hull concluded the final argument for the defendant and was followed by Attorney W. A. King, whose argument for the plaintiff oc- cupied an_hour. Judge Benneft took a few minutes less than an hour to charge the jury, which was given the case at 12.32. After they had given their verdict they were excused by the judge until next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Court was adjourned until this (Fri- day) morning at 10 o'clock for the short calendar and motion list. One of the matters to be heard is the petition from Recelver A. A. Browning of the Thames Loan and Trust company for an order to declare another dividend for the depositors in the commercial department of the Trust company. There are six divorce matters on the uncontested list. NORWICH BUREAU SECURED SITUATIONS FOR 122, Shown in Report For Month of No- vember.

Indications that the commencement of operations on the new bridge across the Thames is near at hand are seen in the new work just begun by the contractors who are in charge of the relocation of the main line of the New Haven road from Hallam street, New London, to the river. They have be- gun the erection of four abutments in I Groton which are essential in making the track changes there, and it is un- derstood that the firm also has the contract for the first abutment of the bridge itself on the ecasterly side of the river. This abutment will be built on land, while that on the New London side is in the water. It is believed that the contract for the bridge proper will be awarded shortly. GEORGE G.

Total STARTING NEW SERIES BUILDING ASSOCIATION IN Norwich Organization Announces Its Second Series to Start January 1st. Five hundred letters have been mail- ed to prospective subscribers to shares in the Norwich Building and Loan as sociation and also to 200 members of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce announcing the fact that a new series in the Norwich Building & Loan As- sociation, Inc., will open on January 1, 1916. The assoclation was incor- porated in April, 1915 and about 200 shares in the first series were sub- scribed for. The circular states that the two principal objects of a Building and Loan association are to encourage the habit of saving among the people, par- ticularly the wage earners, and to help these same people secure homes of their own. There is at the present time an urgent demand for moderate- priced, modern homes in Norwich and a prospect of a still greater demand in the near future. The Building gnd Loan association should, therefore, ap- peal strongly to the working man who finds his rent steadily advancing from year to year whlie his earning power is growing less, The Building and Loan association idea is not a new one. There are 1§ associations in this state at the pres- ent time, and all are in a flourishing condition. The association in the town of South Manchester has over 11,000 shares outstanding and has an income of about $15,000 monthly. The Willimantic association has been in existence for over 25 years and has never lost a dollar on its investments. At present the shares are on a 6 per cent. dividend basis. The New Lon- don association, incorporated only about three vears ago, is at present paying 5 per cent. to its members and has constructed, or has under con- structionfi ten modern dwellings. The officers of the Norwich Build- ing and Loan association_are: Frank H. Smith, president; William H. Cruickshank, first vice president; E. C. Jewett, second vice president; A. orteous & TP itchell P Seven More Buying Days THEN CHRISTMAS F OR the remaining busy days depend upon this store for every Holiday need.
