LRI e s SUPERIOR COURT Short Calendar Session Friday—Con- tinuance in $75,000 Damage Case of Conley vs. Hunt, Exector—Auto- mobile Hearing Case On. A short calendar session. of the Windham county superior court was held in this city Friday, but no cases were assigned, as Judge Maltbie will be unable to attend the court next week. The Sweeney-Lindhelm = case was breught to a close and attorneys on both sides will file brief. In the cases on the short calendar list, those which were not settled were continued on the next list. In the two cases of William Webber and of Alice M. Alford against Daniel P. Dunn, Thomas P. Foley and the City of Wil- limantic, the City of Willimantic was dropped as onme of ‘the defendants. These two cases resulted from the dy- namiting of the rear wall of the Jor- dan block, Giles Alford receiving fa- tal Injuries, and William E. Webber serious injurie; Delay in Divorce Case. In the uneontested divorce case of Mabel U. Anderson vs. George K. An- derson, Commissioner P, J. Danahey filed his briefs, but the case was not finished. as Mrs. Anderson’s attorney, W. A. King, was_given two weeks in which to file briefs and amend the complaint. Stock Purchased by Late Edwin: Mil- | ner. The case of John Conley, et al, vs. Horatio H, Hunt, executor, which was assigned for trial by jury, next Tues- day, the plaintifl’s attorney asked that the’case be continued until next fall. The defendant’s attorney was opposed to this motion, as the case has been on the docket' four years. The case is for damages of $75.000 and is over the purchase of some steck, on which there was a note. Lawyers from New London, Providence, R. 1. and Califor- via are in the case. The stock was purchased by the late Bdwin Milner of Moosup. : ; Judge Maltbie said that he did mot think the case was for a jury, but should be tried without one and when court_adjourned he had decided not to summon the jury for next Tuesday, when the case was to have been started, so it will probably be tried at some later date without a jury. Automobile Case Meard. The case of Lawrence V. Sweeney vs. August Lindhelm was then taken up. This case was started last Fri- day and had been contifiued. Some of the evidence was very conflicting, as both autoists claim that they were on the right hand sides, stopped, when the accident happened, but in some way the care came together. The cars would have been five feet apart when the accident happened if both had been hugging the side of the road. . Both attorneys, P. J. Danahey for the defendant. and W. A. King for the plaintift filed briefs. The wheels of Lindhelm's car, which received the blow, and two maps of the site of the accident. which he made, were entered as exhibits.

The red, white and green flag of Italy was very prominent, most of the ‘stores and many homes having the colors displayed.

The paraders formed on Union street with the right on Lincoln square. At 745 the word was given to march by Marshal Frank P. Fenton. The parade was headed by Chief Killourey and Lieutenant McArthur and platoon of police. Then followed Marshal Fen- ton, flanked by some Boy Scouts carry- ing the flags of the allied nations. The only band in the line was the local American band, which was_ third, fol- lowed by Company M, Connecticut State guard. Next in line was a large auto truck converted into a float, showing a Red Cross nurse sitting be- side W stretcher on which lay a man, wounded. The fraternal division fol- lowed with delegations from San Jose council, K. of C., Ancient Order of Hibernians and Willimantic lodge of Elks. Lyman Maine’s drum corps led the delegation from the Willimantic branch of the Sons of Italy. These marchers carried both American and Italian flags. Several automobiles, containing the officials of the Sons of Italy, representatives from the cit: town and state governments, preache of the gospel, and invited guests and speakers. The parade disbanded in front of Labor Union hall,. opposite the Liberty cottage, and the Sons of Italy marched through a lane of honor up into the hall, where short exercises were held. At the rally the following speakers were heard: Attorney General George E. Hinman. Thomas J. Kelley, William A. King, Daniel P. Dunn and Filipp Testagrossa, the latter speaking ‘n Italian., The speakers told of great work done by the Italians in the present struggle, both in their native land and in the land ef: - the . free— America.
