Searls addressed the court relative to the case of Adrain Breault, who must face a charge of manslaugh- ter in connection With the -death of Frank Bazillion, who died as the re- sult of injuries he received in a fight with the sccused. Mr. Searls sald he would like to have Bfeault brought here from Brooklyn jail today and put to plea and that, if convenient, ‘the case be assigned for trial next Tues- day, taking precedence over other cases. Mr. Searls told the court that he understands that the accused is with- out means of meeting the cost of counsel and recommended that Attor- ney Charles L. Torrey, who appeared for Breault in the city court, be as- signed to defend him. Suggestions as to the date of trial and appointment of counsel were ap- proved by the court, so the case will furnish the most important trial bus- iness of the coming week.

Judge Curtis was also informed that the case of the town of Killingly vt Bryan F. Mahan, postmaster at New London nd former congressman, has been set without trial. As a con- tractor, Mr. Mahan constructed a stretch of state highway in Killingly about two ‘vears ago. In connection with the work he hired the road roll- er, crushe nd water cart of the town of Killingly, the town charging that he did not pay for the use of its property. The town's claim was for $550. It is understood that the case was settled for $450. Town of Brooklyn vs. Ex-Treasurer. A demurrer was argued in the case town of Brooklyn vs. George stment, recently resigned as irer of that town. Attorneys Searls and F for the town, Eastment. The town claims damages of $3,500 against Mr. Eastment because of the fact that he, as town treasurer, dur- ing the fall of the past year paid from funds in the treasury of the town two notes, of £1,800 and $1,200 respective- ly, at the Brooklyn Savings bank, these notes not having been demanded paid by the bank, and that in so doing he used pr all of ck appeared as counsel Attorney Bill for Mr. the money in the tow -y, which money was needed to pay current expenses, and that by paving them he practi- cally empticd the treasury. The town claims that Mr. Eastment, in paving the notes acted without authority of the town on_order of the selectmen, as required by the statutes of Con- necticut, and that he is liable for le- gal damages In contention of this claim counsel for the town cited numerous leading cases, some of which show that a town treasurer having advanced his own personal funds to meet town debts and havinz done so without authority was unable to recover his money. in this case it was argued by Judge k that the town of Brooklyn did not pay the notes, not having given any auth for their pavment, and that former Treasurer Eastment is liable for the amount paid. Judge Rill, for the defendant, argued that Mr. Eastment was simply follow- ing a custom of half a century; that he paid the money because it seemed for the henefit of the town that the notes be nid; that such money as was raid out was to cancel obligations of the town, and that Mr. Eastment received no personal benefit from the transaction. Judge Curtis took 1¢ the papers, re- serving his decision. Foreclosure- Ordered. Foreclosure of mortzage was or- dered by the court in the case of John Laura B. El- Pettis farm, border of Put- H.

In connection with postoffice inter- ests it may be noted that March has been anything but a holiday for the rural carriers working in Windham county towns. By some of these car- riers the present month is regarded as the toughest, weatherw , they have ever experienced. They have worked through storm after storm and roads choked with enow, drifted badly in many places, has made the work of corering the' routes exceedingly diffi- calt.

Baker of this city, for years a resident at Wood- stock Valley, vs. Lewis A. Bak: Mrs. Baker claimed desertion, in 1909, and that her Lusband was so lazy and shiftless that she would have starved had she not left him. The couple were married at Willington, January 3, 1890. What Mrs. Baker had to say about her husbard being unwilling to work was corroborated by Selectman H. B. Buell and Emerson W. Lyon, Eastford, both well acquainted with herself and her family troubles. As a witness Mrs. Baker testified that she had gone to the farm where her husband lives, and of which she holds the deed, frequently since her separation from her husband six years ago; that she had brought food there for 'her husband to subsist on and had performed other acts of kindness toward him. Judge Curtis did not grant a decree, instructing Mrs. Baker's counsel, At- torney Charles E. Searls, to file a brief covering the particular kind of desertion shown to have taken place. Claims $656 as Nurse. At the afternoon session of c: the case of Mrs. Phoebe Boutin, merly of Danielson, but now or- resi- dent of New Hampshire, against Mrs. Mary Hardwick of Danielson, was commenced. The counsel in the case are Judge A. G. Bill for Mrs. Boutin, Messrs. Back, Darbie and Woodward, all of Danielson, for the defendant. ‘The plaintiff seeks to recover $656 for services as a nurse, and in many other ways rendered Mrs. Hardwick while the two women occupied adjoin- ing tenements in the Bates Block in Danielson, from Sept. 1, 1910, to Aug- ust, 1914. Mrs. Bout claims she cared for Mrs. Hardwick when she was ill, that she cooked for her, b ed her and generally saw to her com- fort and well being over all the per- iod mentioned. The defence of Mrs. Hardwick is a general denial and a counter claim for 3621 for services rendered by Mr. Hardwick in caring for Mrs. Boutin's apartment while the latter was out for the day, for washing dishes, car- ing for plants and other services. There are many witnesses to be Mrs. Hardwick s vears of age and blind, but sk s able to be in court Tuesday and will testify in the case.

The great event of this week at the high school is the Putnam-Killingly debate to be held at 7.30 Friday ev- eninfi, March 24, in the High School hall. As far as can be remembered this is the first interschool debate in which Putnam has taken part since 1903 when a team made up of John Byrne, Harold Bowen and Raymond Gilpatric met a Worcester High school team in debate at the Bradley thea- tre with the governor of the state as presiding officer. There has been capi- little or no debating in the high school since Mr. Fay's principalship until it was revived two years ago, at Mr. Backus’ request, and_fostered by the giving of the D. A. R. prize cup for the winners in a series of Interclass debates. The question to be debated Friday evening 1s, Resolved, that there should be compulsory military training in the secondary schools and colleges of the United States. Putnam chose the question and Killingly the side, her choice being the affirmative. The Putnam team is composed of Malcolm Willey, captain; Gould Beard, Ruth Child and Percy Richardson. The judges are to be Mr. Olmsted, head master of the Pomfret school; Prin- cipal Bellows of Tourtelotte Memorial; and Principal Chapman of Plainfield. Letter Stirs Up Controversy.

A great many letters have been sent out, asking for information and material, and have brought in reply a large amount of literature on the subject. The episode that has created the most_amusement was the publication in a New York paper, and the quoting in various other papers, of a letter signed by Principal Handy, calling at- tention to a system of military train- ing in schools and colleges, exactly such_as Putnam is to contend against on Friday night. As a matter of fac that letter has a story! It was the idea of a member of the Putnam team, and_was_written by the team signed by Mr. Handy at their request, and sent to the publishers letter depart- ment as a venture in hopes of starting a spirited correspondence on the en- tire subject. It has, indeed, served its purpose insofar as to bring Mr. Handy a variety of material useful to the debaters. Naturally it has amused the writers to have it published and quoted, and fortunately X ndy (who as a matter of fact confesses himself “open to conviction” to the value of military training) is able to see the amusing side, and willing to be a martyr to the cause.
