IDANIELSON AND William Lane and His Wife Sentenced to 180 Days in Jail Each, For Cruel- ty to Two-Year-Old Frank -E. Ho- mer—Canning Drive to Start This Week—Gift of $100 to Rev. James Grady—Plans For Chautaugqua Pa- rade. Wil Lane and Bertha Lane were sentenced to serve 180 days in jail each by Judge W. Fefiner Woodward, 4t a session of the town.court Mon- day morning. Husband and wife were scathingly arraigned by the judge who said: “I am sentencing each of you to gerve 180 days in jail for cruelty to a child.” }t is the maximum that I am rmittéd to give you under the law. f'wm..! could impose a far heavier penalty and if the whipping post were in use 'l would sentence you ‘to be whipped and would relish aiding in giving you such punishment.” Mr."and Mrs."Lane were sent to jail for cruel treatment of Frank Edward Homer, aged two. years .and two months, a boy they had adopted when he was a tiny infant and who has since been in .their care. As ‘told in Monday’s Bulletin, they had kept the little boy confined in an upstairs. room of their home, a room destitute of furniture and every other eomfort” with only the headpiece of a mattress, a maggot-infested mattress, to sleep upon and no comfort or con- venience whatsoever. - The state’s wit- nesses were prepared to testify that the child had been. left alone in the reom for many hours at a time, 18 in some instarnces, Constable /Grimshav of Attawaugan said, without food or water. “-Left to live much after the manner-of -an animal, the child con- tinued to exist in a tightly closed room that reeked with such a stench that Constable Grimshaw was nause- ated and made ill when he visited and a woman who accompanied him there that she might testify as a wit- nesgs in“the ease was similarly affectec The Warrant in the case char that the boy had been kept conf since April 1, though there were tim when the little fellow was allowed erty and had been seen out of doors o about the house, On being put to plea, Lane said “nc guilty,”. and the same plea later wz entered by his wife, who was locke up Sunday evening, some time afte her husband had been arrested, anc spent the night with him in a cell at the police station.. Upon receiving the pleas Judge Woodward ordered a post- ponement of the hearing until T day morning, but the couple te changed their pleas to guilty to cruel ty to a child and were sentenced tc Jail. {Following the arrests of Mr. anc . Lane Sunday, the child that was the cause of their trouble was taken t8 Mr. Grimshaw's home. The little fellow ate ravenousiy and was contin- uing to--show a wonderful appetite when it was felt that he would make himself ill and so he was not permitted to eat more. At bedtime his little brow clouded and he showed fear of the night, in- dicating that he did not want to go to bed and be left alone by lisping “Rats! Rats!"—evidently in remembrance of horrors that he had endured. The boy is a bright, pretty child. Just why he was subjected to such treetment as he has been through is net clear, but interest in him may have given way to interest in another baby born into the Lane home some time ago. Constable Grimsbaw charge of -the child uniils the town. officiais can -arrange for return whence he came or otherwise provide a home for him where he can be properly cared for.and cutlive the shocking memory of his baby davs. At court Monday morning the little has _taken fellow was under the care of Mrs.John Grimshaw of Attawa and al- though his little brow usually wrinkled with something of apprehension, he especially when a fe vild flowers were picked and fashioned into a bou- quet for him, and he lisped -a little about the horses and the men and other things that he saw. CANNING CAMPAIGN To Be Started at On:e—aledge Cards to Be Signed. Mrs. Rienzi Robinson said Monday morning that the work of getting the pledge cards signed .in the drive that is to be made in this town to get wo- men to_can foods-will be started at once. Speakers have already brought attention to the subject in the churches and at the theatres, and:the reasons set forth why the women of Killingly must can more food-than ever before if they wish to avoid-a food shartage that will be certain next winter unless the summer's: opportunities for pre- serving perishable foods are made the most of. Sixty-five per-cent. of the normal ameunt of -goods” canned in this country will be taken this year by the zovernment. This means that the stores will have only 35 cans of goods te offer the trade where in oth- er years they-have had a hundfred. It also means that canning. must be done at oome, done in- huge quantities and done with the-spirit that is being.ex- hibited in ervery line of useful” indus- try toward the winning of the war. The women ot Killingly are reques ed to can 50,000 quarts of food, vege- tables, fruits, ete, etc. To a patriotic woman this request ‘will be consid- ered as little less than a command. The nation is calling to them to build up the counfry's- food reserves, that the men who ate fighting will be well fed and that ther8 he enough food in every home to leave the market supply for other uses. a 2 Too much food cannot be preserved, for there will be opportunity to sell all that cannet be useq in'the home. The market is fairly. erying for -it, and at good prices. & GIFT TO YOUNG PRléST Friends Present Purse of $100 to Rev. James Grady.
