TWO ALLOWED TO TAKE BAR EXAMS. Committee Named to Investigate a Schedule of Fees. At a meeting of the local bar asso- ciation in the city court room on Fri- day morning, S. S. Thresher presid- ing. Ehartes B. Whittlesey, John . C. Geary and Alfred Coit of New London and Edwin W. Higgins and Arthur M Brown of Norwich.were named a com- mittee to take proper action upon the @eath of William J. Brennan. Traver Briscoe and Frederick ¥ Place were allowed to take the bar examinations. There was discussion as to a sched- ule of fees. George Curtis Morgan of New London said the matter had been suggested by Judge Comstock and Mr. Morgan_moved that a committee be named to take the project under con- sideration and report. Attorney Hewitt said young lawyers cannot expect to get the same fees as lawyers who have been years In the profession and have the confidence of the people and get experience. It would add to the idea of some peopie that lawyers are avaricious. The_motion prevailed and . Major Hull, Judge Comstock and C. V. James were named as a committee to take the matter in and report. pied summer cottages in the Best View istrict, the latter part of the week. He visited several houses at Quaker Hill where he begged food and car tare ‘to take him to the bughouse.” Since his disappearance from that five breaks have been discov- ered in the summer colony in the im- mediate Vicinity of the Bluffs, at Best View. Entrance to the houses, in all except cne case, was gained by the clever use of a glass cutter on the pane just above the lock. In no case was anything of value carried gway, al- though the cottages were thoroughly ransacked. That it was the work of a mentally deranged man is the prevail- ing opinion. The loot consisted mainly of can foods which were eaten on the premises. Pantries and wine closets were completely emptied of their con- tents. The cottages of the following ‘were entered: E. D. Stone of the firm of Perry & Stone of New London. Dr. J. Otis Miner, of 288 Hunting- ton street, New London. Mrs. W. H. Osborne of 8 Granite wereet, New London. Robert T. A. Bitgood of 19 Mason- le_street, New London. Mrs. Joseph M. Burdick of West Main street, Norwich. Discovery of the breaks was made Tuesday afternoon by a young woman of that section who went to the Bit- good veranda to watch the flight of an neroplane. She noticed the window but not until she was returning home and saw the window broken in the Osborne cottage were her suspicions aronsed. Then she notified the Os- borne and Bitgood families. Since that ti the other breaks have come to s AIr. Osborne visited @ his cottage y evening and® found the inter- turvey condition. ven the eds, which were made up, had been deranged. Bureau draw- ers which bhad been locked, were found forced cpen. Personal belong- ings of the Oshorne’s were scattered In_every direction about the rooms. When members of the Stone, Bit- z00d. Burdick and Miner families vis- ed their cottages, a similar state of wifairs existed. At the Bitzood cottage, indications reemed to point to the intruder having remained over night. The curtains were drawn, the bed disarranged and an empty can of baked beans was found on a table beside the bed. In the can was a eravy ladle which had been used as a spoon. Clothing, shoes, bedding and_silver- are in the cottiges was not touched with the excention of two or three mite boxes, which in some cases contained coins of a small denomination nothing Is helieved to have been carried away. The only clue to the probable time nf the breaks was furnished by Miss Marion McNally, daughter of Rev. 2 McNaily of the First Bap- ew London. who, while me early Sunday evening. noticed a lizht burning in the Bitgood cottage. The yoyng woman believed that members of the family were prob- ably staving there over Sunday and did not zive the matter a thought. It has since been learned. however, that the members of the Bitgood family ited Bes: View Sunday. This fact leads to the opinion thdt the mauraud- er staved at the cottage Sunday night. A zlass cuttér was evidently the instrument nsed in galning entrance to the various cottages. Except in the case of the Miner cottage, a clean cut, roud hole, sufficiently large to insert the hand and unfasten the lock was found in the upper window pane of the window entered. At the Miner cot- tage a_patent lock thwarted the suc- ress of this scheme, and one entire pane was broken. The stranze man who was seen in the Quaker Hill community Wednesday first visited the mobe of Mrs. Fred Comstock about 11.30 in the forenoon. His roush appearance caused Mrs. Comstock to hesitate about granting the request, and at first she refused. Then he said@ he was hungry and she provided him with a meal. ¥is conversaton with her was marked 'by several wery Irrational statements, one of which was that he “wanted to g0 to the bughouse.” That was after he asked for carfare to car- ry him to Norwich. She gave him 20 cents and he inquired if that would take him to the “bughouse.” Then he inquired as to who lived neross the street. She mentioned the naome of Mrs. Perkins and the man flew into a rage. “She’s the one who killed my brother,” he said. Although thoroughly alarmed by the man’s statements, Mrs. Comstock told him that Mrs. Perkins was not the woman who was accused of killing Daniel Coatchaly. Even then the man ap- peared mot to be satisfied that Mrs Perkins was not the woman to whom he had reference, and inquired if she was “quite stout and dark complexion.” Mrs: Comstock’s reply in the nega- tive satisfled him. Departing from the Comstock home the man went to the house occupiel by Attorney John Lawless. Mrs. Lawless had in the meantime been notified over the telephone by Mrs. Comstock and, locking all the doors and windows on the lower floor, she went upstairs. The man knocked at both the front and back doors and finally Mrs. Lawle stepped out onto a second story bal. cony and inquired, as to his mission. Here he repeated his request for a cup of coffee carfare to Norwich. But when M1, ,Lawless told him she had neither, he asked her fof a cup of tea or hot water. Finally he walked away. Later he is understood to have call- ed at other residences in that section, among them that of Mrs. Perkins. He disappeared late in the afternoon and returning Special Pin-Casks (5 gallons) for family use on draught at home, from any dealer or jobber.
