Upon the reconvening of the supe- rior court for Washington county in Westerly, Wednesday morning, Judge Herbert W. Rathbun counsel for de- fendant in the case of Lida A. Thom- as against Amos S. Burdick, to re- cover $3,000 in damages for injuries received in automobile accident, com- menced his argument to the jury. He spoke for half an hour. Clarence E. Roche, counsel for the plaintift fol- lowed. Judge Carter W. Barrows in charging the jury said that they must first find that the defendant was to blame before the consideration of damages, and that plaintiff was not to blame for the accident. The plaintiff must prove that the defendant was negligent and that she was not neg- ligent. The fact that an accldent happened must not carry with it that someone must be to blame, for always the party infured claims the qther fel- low is to blame. The mere fact that Miss Thomas was injured, is no rea- son why Mr. Burdick should pay for the injuries. No sympathy should enter into the determination of the case; justice should be placed before charity. The jury must be satis- fled that Miss Thomas was not _to blame, and that Mr. Burdick was, be- fore taking money from Mr. Burdick to pay Miss Thomas. The jury retired at 11.55 and an hour later returned a verdict of $500 in fa- vor of the plaintiff. The next case called was that of Charles P. Ecclestone against Robert McGinnis, an_action to recover mon- ey due for labor and material in con- nection with a moving picture house in Union street. Attorney Harry B. Agard, counsel for plaintiff, was ready for trial. Attorney John J. Dunn, who represented defendant, and without re- tainer, stated that Mr. McGinnls was not in Westerly, that his whereabouts were not known, and that his wife in search of him. He could not assure the court when the defendant would appear in court, and suggested con- tinuance. The Judge said that inas- much that no assurance could be given as to when the defendant would be ready to answer in the case, Mr. Ec- clestone took the witness stand and proved kis claim of $197.84 and the court gave judgment for that amount, with costs. e S When the slander suit of Mary Ar- congle against Mary Rossi was called, Attorney A. T. L. Lerwidge counsel for plaintiff,. made motion to amend the declaration so that the slanderous words spoken in the Italian tongue, “Tu sei una pltana,” be translated tn. to English. Mr. Ledwidge quoted au- thorities to substantiate his motion. Fred C. Olney, attorney for defend- ant, contended that he should be given ample time to reply. Mr. Ledwidge stated that Mr. Olney had been in the case since February 1, that a copy of the motion had been served on him, and that he had the benefit of the same interpreter as the plaintiff. Judge Barrows eranted the amend- ment, the case was continued, ana Mr. Olney given twenty days to file an answer. It was agreed that the first case to NORWICH _BULL - VERDICT IN WESTERLY CASE Ju., Awards $500 to Lida A.

The Camp Fire Girls of Westerly held a grand council fire Wednesday evening in the Young People’s room at the library, in celebration of the third anniversary of their organization.

The usual songs and ceremonies took their course, varied at times as com- parisons were introduced to show the growth of the movement during the past three years.

They also contain tannin—an astringent—which acts most unfavorably _Headaches, "‘nerves,” insomnia, biliousness—these are some of the signs of caffeine poisoning.

There has been an in- crease in the death rate of babies und one year from 162 per 10,000 in the early part of 1914, before hostilities be- gan, to 181 per 1,000 in the corre- sponding period of 19 The normal death rate in Dublin about 145 pe 1,000. Proper feeding and wise care for the little ones and their mothers would have prevented many of these deaths. In the country districts, how ever, there is not the crying need that prevalls in the large cities with their congested districts”and wretched con- ditions.” Ireland, for two generations, has been a dwindling race. There are but half as many people there today there were in 1840. Then the popula- tion was more than 8,000,000 and new it 1s barely above the 4,000,000 mark. Plague, emigration, war, infant mortai- ity, have taken their toll, and there rémains today but little more than a remnant of a once proud race.
