Mellow, Accused of | ATTORNEY CLARENCE E. ROCHE ‘When the superior court for Wash- ington county reconvenes at Kings- ton, this morning the trial will be commenced of the state agaist James Rego Mellow, alias James Morris, the young Portuguese accused of the murders of Willlam Rhodes, a stone mason, who for years conducted a “bootleg” trade in intoxicating liquors, and Gustave and Oscar Olsen, broth- ers, who were employed as section hands by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. They were shot and then horribly mutilated with an axe in the old Kingston sta- tion, about half a mile from the present passenger station. Clarence Bmerson Roche, of West- erly, clerk of ‘the Third District court, and the youngest lawyer in the town, has been assigned by the court to defend Mellow, and it will be his first criminal case. He has been busy investigating for the past week and he will put up a strong fight for the ac cused, and over a dozen witnesses will testify for the defence. Mellow, a few days after the murder, surrender- ed himself to the Providence police. He claimed that when he went to the shack the Olsen brothers were dead and that Rhodes stood at the _table counting money, a revolver lying on the tble. He claimed that Rhodes as- saulted him and that he secured the revolver and shot and killed Rhodes in self-defence. It is expected that as soon as the jury is formed that a view of the site of the murder will be taken, Judge Doran having granted the request of Attorney Roche for such a view. The request of Atorney Roche for an ex- amination of the bodies of the dead men, now in a vault in Wakefield, was denied, on the grounds that the bodles had been mutilated in the autopsies and that their condition would not warrant an examination, although it was claimed that an examination of the body of Rhodes would would give ev- idence in verification of Attorney Roche to have the medical examiner of the Westerly district, with other physicians examine the bodies, 5o as to compare notes wit hthe medical examiner who conducted the autopsies. Attorney Roche will make an effort to have the case tried in Westerly for the reason tiat the jurors in the case may be locked up and under the con- tinuous jurisdiction of a court officers, and the accommodations in Wester! are adequate, while there are no ac- commodations at Kingston, and the jurors_would have to be taken to and rom Wakefield by auomobiles. Some lawyers, not residents of Westerly ciaim that only civil cases can be tried in Westerly, Kingston being classed as the county seat and only adjourned STAFFORD SPRINGS Engineer William R.

The following suggestions for the use of the American flag have been issued by Mary Wooster chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, of Danbury, which entertained the state D. A. R. officers Friday: The United States flag is the symbol of our country and as such should command the respect and admiration of every citizen. The law of the state of Connecticut provides that the flag should de dis- played on every school house to im- press upon the children the duty they owe to the government that gives them the blessings of equal privileges, edu- cation and protection. When not in use the flag should be kept neatly rolled up and in a proper place. When the flag is to be hoisted, it should be taken from its place by per- sons specially intrusted with its care and never handled heedlessly. It should not be dragged upon _the ground, mor used as a means of advertisement, nor for any purpose unworthy of the dig- nity of the nation. The flag ehould be fully holsted to the top of the pole, with the union up- permost. When half-masted, it is a sign of public mourning, and with the unlon down it is a sign of distress. The folds of the flag should float freely when hoisted, and be cleared at once when fouled. The flag should be saluted by all present when hoisted or lowered. This is done by standing at attention and uncovering the head or touching the . Phone 5s1 MODERN PLUMBING is as essential\in modern house as electricity is to lighting.
