JOHN ROBINSON SENT TO INSANE HOSPITAL. Former Norwich Waiter Found Not Guilty of Forgery Because of In- sanity. John Robinson, formerly a Norwich waiter, but of late employed in New London in the same capacity, was on'| Friday adjudged insane by a jury inm | the criminal superior court and was sentenced to one year in the Norwich state hospital for the insane. The charge against Robinson was forgery. He secured tools in New London on an order to which he had forged the name of J. N. Lapointe company. The crder was presented at the Darrow & Comstock company’s store. Robinson's trial was brief, as the only witnesses for the state were Samuel Holloway of New Londpn, employed as clerk by the | Darrow & Comstock company: J. M Lapointe and Policeman Nelson S. Smith. Dr. Thomas F. Erdman, act- ing superintendent of ~the Norwich state hospital for the insane, told of the poor mental condition of the ac- cused. Robinson testified in his own behalf in a rambling way. He was found not guilty on account of insan- ity and was sent'to the Norwich state Lospital for treatment. The case against Michael Bowman, charged with assault, was nolled. Claude Long and Howard Jones, sailors, charged. with the theft of a watch from the person of Ezekiel Barrows in New London, pleaded guilty and were sent to the state re- formatory. Court adjourned at 12.30 <clock to come in again on Tuesday. ‘William White, New London, who shot David Sparrow in Bradley streat early in December, pleaded guilty in Thursday to the charge of assault with intent to murder and was sen- tenced to serve not more than five nor less than one vear in state prison, THe shooting was the result of a quarrel over a woman and started in a Bradley street saloon. White and | Sparrow had both figured in a wrangle which brought them up in police court about two weeks before, but the case was nolled. On the Saturday afternoon of the the saloon in Bradley street and the negress was in Sparrow’s company, White came into the saloon and words arose between the two men over Sparrow’s woman companion. White whipped out a revolver and chased Sparrow into the street whera he fired four shots at Sparrow. two of which took effect in the Ilatter's body. ~ Fortunately neither wound proved fatal. Sparrow's life was probably saved by Policeman Charles Hammond. Po- liceman Hammond was on the corner of State and Main street when he heard the revolver shots from the di- rection of the tenderloin district. He. rushed up Main street, down John and into Bradley, where ~he surprised White in the act of Shooting Sparrow. White was about to fire another shot at Sparrow, who was down on the ground, when Policeman Hammond, with drawn revolver. arrived on the scene. He ordered White to throw up his hands and placed him undér arrest singled Landed. IMPROVEMENTS UNDERWAY AT THE MOOSE HOME Two Small Rooms on Ground Floor Have Been Thrown Into One Large Room.

Park Church Parish House Scene of Lively and Sparkling Chee: One stepping from the cheerless, rainy atmosphere outside into Park Church Parish house on Friday even- ing, could not have failed to respond to the gayiety and warmth within. The Cafe de Chien D’or, modelled after the old Chateau Fontenac in Quebec, was a scene of lively and sparkling cheer. With a patronage that filled the cafe to overflowing, tables werp at & premium. The serving ta- ble piled high with good things, cold meats and salads and the seasonable turkey was presided over by Messrs. ‘William T. Crandall and Richard Lew- Is, very professional, in caps, coats and aprons. The pastry wagons with their tarts and iclairs and other de- lectable goodies were wheeled to each table for a selection. The genial head waited, J. Dana; Colt, was untiring in his efforts to secure the best of service for his pa- trons and under his direction, tI wants were readily attended to in most satisfactory manner. Ably assisting as waiters were Will. fam Norton, 'William Allen, Alfred Al- len, Bruce Rogers, Robert Johnson, John Huntington, Dr. Leonard, Chas. Haskell, Hibbard Norman. James Is- bister, Dr. W. T. Browne, George S. Watts, with Arthur B. Norton, Chas. Tirrell, Harold Prentice, Manley East- wood and Thomas Sayles as the boys. Candy and flowers were sold to the d@iners by Miss Maria Gallup and Miss Ludy Loring. ‘The Harmony orchestra rendered several selections, then Miss Maria Gallup gave Rachety Coo, from Ka- tinka, in costume and with Katinka's dove perched on her arm. The Blue Bells of Scotland was sung by Mr: Charles Tyler Bard and Miss Barbara Allen followed immediately with the Highland Fling, by Miss Allen and Miss Henrietta Gallup. Two French songs, Chanson de Florian by Godard and d'Hardelot’s Mignon, were sung by Mrs. William A. Allen, garbed in a quaint Victorian costume. Mrs. Charles Bard gave great pleas- ure in Nevin's Doris, accompanied by Miss Annie Taft on the piano, Miss Helen Royce, violin and Eben Learned cello. The by Miss Dorothy Brown Dorothy Gregson. Mrs. Walter Buckingham and James J. Moore were very _ effective and Wattean-like in an ald English song acteq out. An attractive feature was a May- pole figure given by the following groups: Mrs. Raymond Sherman, Misses Henrietta Gallup, Hazel Fletch- er, Mary Tirrel, Eleanor Norton, Bar- bara Allen, Ruth Loring, Beatrice Eastwood and Mildred Gibson. Each of these acts was given in true cab- aret fashion, on the floor among the tables. A fingl selection: by the orchestra from Robin Hood and the very unique and successful evéning came to a close. ‘Those in charge of the entertain- ment were: Supper committee: Mrs. Adam Reid, Mrs. Allen Latham, Mrs. Neville Blicq, Mrs. H. R. Branche, Mrs. Will- iam Birge. Serving committee: Mrs. J. Dana Coit, Miss Elizabeth Pullen, Mrs. Will- iam F. Crandall, Mrs. John = Mbe 3 Grahaim, Miss H. Vaughn, Mrs. 5 am, Hannah W. Crowell, Mrs. William Al- len. a Sailor's Hornpipe was danced and Miss 1915, have returned to New London from their homes in Baltimore. Unusual secrecy has been centered about the return of the small army of stevedores, but it s understood that the men arrived about 4.10 o'clock on Tuesday morning in charge of a man named Frederick Lynch of Baltimore, who acts as foreman for the com- pany. Fach man carried a_sultcase and the men and baggage were quick- Iy taken to the state pier. ‘When the - stevedores departed for the southern city after the departure of the Deutschland for the Fatherland several of them informed friends that they were ordered to report at the state pler on January 5, which date was Friday. Since it is a foregone conclusion that the European war will continue at least for another six months and probably more and discounting acci- dents it is reasonable to expect an- other visit from the Deutschland or another sub sea freighter, providing there is a second one.
