The snow storm of Wednesday, which looked as if it might be over .that night, refused to leave without proving the old saying, “if you want a blizzard, arrange for a military ball,” and by Thursday morning there was more snow in this city than has been seen this winter. ° Men in the employ of the street de- partment were busy early Thursday morning with horse plows and shovels making paths on the sidewalks and streets, and vhen the snow stopped about noon, everyone who could got after the walks in front of his prop- erty, with the result that traveling was not bad in the city by night time. All the trains coming to Williman- tic were more or less late, varying from a few minutes to an hour or more. On account of the accumulation of snow, the trolley due here from Nor- wich left the rails at the curve at Thread Mill square near where the same kind of an accident happened during the last ice storm, but no dam- age was done and a wrecking crew from Greeneville had the track clear- ed by cne o'clock.

The third annual military ball given by Co. L, First C. N. G, eince the dedication ball in 1918, took place in the state armory on Pleasant street at 9 o'clock Thursday evening, and in spite of its occurrence on the heels of the heaviest snowfall of the year so_far, was a decided success. ‘The hall was ropriately dec- orated for the on with the na- tional colors, the effective arrange- ment being the work of P. D. Donohue and a corps of able assistants. Fan- shaped draperies were hung the l;n.fi of the balcony and on the side- festoons and pennants between the windows on the north side of the hall, while wicker baskets fillled with lau- rel branches transformed the hanging lights in the center. ‘The thirty-two boxes were marked oft by strips of red and white bunt- ing and the entrance posts were wound in white topped with sprays of laurel.

The Social Event of the Year. Every effort had been made by the committee in charge to make the ball the social event of the year, and the promise of His Excellency, Gov. Mar- cus B. Holcomb, to attend, made this an assured fact. Invitations were sent not only to the governor and his staff, but to other prominent officers.

MOHR (Continued from Page One) relying upon circumstantial evidence and that there was nothing so un- reliable—that it had sent many inno- cent persons to jail Condemned Police Method. He condemned the police method of investigating the murder by ‘“get- ting so-called confessions” from pris- oners and predicted that some day the people would abolish by “act of the legisiature and congress this tor- ture of mind and body of prisoners.” He charged that the practice-was a relic_of barbaric days. “All of the evidence relative to the alleged confessions of the neeroes grew on the same vine and that vine is Chief O'Neil,” continued Mr. Lewis. Referred Caustically to Heal He referred caustically to George W. Healis, the chauffeur who turned state’s evidence and declared that in his so-called confession Healls had merely shielded himself and “handed the state a lemon.” He argued that the so-called confession was extorted from Brown by “a dominant wil” after Brown could no longer endure the “constant hammering” of the po- lice questioning. Healis Accused. “Brown and Spellman did not com- mit this foul deed,” he declared. “It was the act of an Apache. The be. ginning and the end of the sta case is George W. Healis.” serted that Healis had the oppaw- tunity of shooting Dr. Mohr and his GAS, INDIGESTION INFIVEMINUTES “PAPE’'S - DIAPEPSIN” I8 " THE ONLY REAL STOMACH REGULATOR KNOWN. “Really does” put bad stomachs in companion, Emily G. Burger. Testimony of Miss Burger Assailed. The testimony of George Rooks. brother-in-law of Miss Burger, and of Florence Ormsby, office girl in the employ of Dr. Mohr, was bitterly as- sailed in the argument af counsel “Whether Brown goes free or not,” exclaimed Mr. Lewis, “he will have the satisfaction of knowing that he was not one of those who combined to railroad an innocent woman ‘to prison—to separate her from her loved ones—Charles and Virginia Mohr, her order—really does overcome indiges- tion, dyspepsia, gas eartburn and sourness in flve minutes—that—just that—makes Pape's Diapepsin the largest selling stomach regulator in the world. If what you eat ferments Into stubborn lumps, you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food and acid; head dizzy and aches; breath foul; tongue coated; your in- sides filled with b and indigestible children.” Mrs. Mohr Broke Into Tears. Mrs. Mokr broke into tears as coun- sel made this reference to her and continued to sob for some minutes. After Mr. Lewis had finished John B. Edwards, counsel for ry H. Spellman, the other negro defendant, occupied an hour in summing up the evidence. He contended that the po- waste, remember the moment ‘‘Pape’s Diapepsin” comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. It's truly astonishing—almost marvel- ous, and the joy is its harmlessness. A large -cent of Pape's Diapepsin will ¢ you a Lundred dollars’ worth of satisfaction or your druggist hands you your money back. It's worth its weight in gold to men and women who can’t get their stom- achs regulated. It belongs in your home—should always be kept handy in case of a sick, sour, upset stomach during the day er at night. It's the quickest, surest and most harmless stomach regulator in the world. lice theory was entirely based upon a suspicion” voiced by George Rooks when he charged Healis with having |~ th Mrs. “framed up” the murder Mohr. “Healis did not sell the life of his master for. 30 pieces of silver,” said Mr. Edwards. “He 4id it on thel promise of money, if you believe his story.’ Arguments to Be Continued Today.

Watson has been notified by the Interior de- partment that the badly complicated pension case that has been pending for nearly a vear has been settled by the department recognizing Mrs. Jean- ette P. Weeks of Packerville as the only lawful widow of James Weeks, who died last February in Noank, leaving a widow (so called) and chil- dren in that town. Records show that Jeanette P. Montgomery of Canter- bury was married to Jjames Weeks, the soldler, in 1862 at Canterbury, Conn., by Rev. Silas Cummings. Soon after Weeks went to the war and while he partly supported his wife until 1863 he deserted her then and she never saw him ngain until 1892 when he appeared with an_officer at her home in Packerville and sued for a diverce. Mrs. Weeks did not carc one way or another abeut the divorce and never thought any more about the matter until the news of his death o ithi o shihii il and family at Noank started an in- vestigation which proved no divorce had ever been obtained by Weeks. The claim has_been long in isettle- ment. Attorney Frank C. Watson, as- sisted by C. B. Montgomery of Pack- erville, prosecuted, and Special Agent H. F. Gloetzner of Hartford, repre- sented the department. The final settlement of the claim has opened up another case, as James and Annie Weeks of Noank were joint owners of real estate and just before Weeks' death the share of Weeks was transferred to Annie Weeks through a third party. Attorneys of the gen- uine Mrs. Weeks are preparing to claim no such transfer of weeks’ property was legal without his legal wife’s consent. The accrued pension of James Weeks, due at the time of his death, has also been grantad to Mrs. Janette P. Weeks of Packerville. RORTLAND, ORE., HAS WORST STORM IN ITS HISTORY. For 48 Hours Sleet Has Falien, Driven by High Winds. Portiand, Ore., Feb. 3.—Portland and a large part of Oregon continues today in the grip of what is said to be the worst storm in their history. Sleet and snow, driven by high winds, have cut off all railroad communication east and severed wire communication on all sides, save intermittent telegraph ser- vice to Spokane. Business is practical- ly at a standstill. The storm, which is known as & “gilver thaw,” has been experienced here before, but never in so severe a form as now. For 48 hours sleet has fallen, driven by a flerce wind. Thou- sands of trees have bént and broken under' the weight of ice. Telephone and other wires by hundreds have fall en into the streets, many becoming en- tangled with live wires as they fell.
