Maurice B. Houghton was fined $250 and costs by Judge Oliver H. Williams fn' the Third district court Friday, after changing his plea of not ty, and pleading nolo, to a vio- t assault on John Lynch, Decem- ber 9, 1918 This after a long and earnest 1 for clemency, by his agtorney, T. Ledwidge. Mr. Led- widge in the course of his appeal referred to the good character of Haughton, givey him by his employer in Cambridge, and also urged clemen- ey in behalf of the wife and three children of the accused. one of the children being blind and deaf as a it of fliness. Haughton is not a man without character. and out of employment, said Mr. Ledwidge, but on this occaston had fallen into bad eamradeship, and for a first time had strayed from the path of . rectitude add right. Mr. Ledwidge =aid Haughton had béen employed on _special work for his company in New London and there became acquainted with Owen Riley, and later secured employment for Riley in Cambridge. Riley invited Haughton to go to New London with hila. They stopped at Westerly and employed Chris Ferraro to take them to New London and back to Boston. It was on this Teturn trip that_the assault _was committed on John Lynch. While Houghton was not what could be termed a drinking man, he was intoxicated on this occasion, and eould not recall having taken any part in the assault upon Lynch, with whom he had no acquaintance. He did not know he had violated any law and did not know there was warrant issued for his arrest. Mr. Lédwidge urged that Haughton had already been sufficiently punish- ed. that he be placed on probation, and ought not to be compelled to suffer any more for the part he had taken in this alleged assault In the absence of Town Solicitor Agard, Attorney George R. McKepna, appeared as prosecutor for Chief of Police Brown. He said the duties of 8_prosecutor were not alwavs agree- able, but there must be prosecution to He did preserve the people’s rights. mot go into the details of the as he said these were. known to the eourt. The accused committed a grave offense in beating up John Lynch without the slightest provoca- tion. and as there was revenge, i might have been for hire. Riley and Houghton roomed together in Cam- bridge, and he must have known there was a warrant out for his arrest ey did.

It was Haughton who kicked Lynch, who struck him in the head with a rock, punched - him ynd did all the injury to Lynch. The Tacts in. the case did not call for any clemency. Reference to the wife and three children did appeal to him, and that was the reason why imprison- ment was not added to ‘the penalty, as was the case when Riley was sen- tenced. If. Haughton is all his em- ployers_clalm for him, the fine could be paid, and Haughton have oppor- tunity fo support his family. ~Bond was fixed at 3500, when Attorney Led- widge gawe notice that appeal might be taken to the superior court. A fal e alarm was sent in from Box 63 in Railrdad avenue ‘at 9.30 on Friday morning, and although but one round was sounded the three motor- driven fire apparatus responded quickly. When Chief Engineer Eg- ger arrived at the fire alarm box, George Hoxie of the Watch Hill fire department .was e, holding a six- year-old street urchin by the hand. Mr. Hoxie saw this'lad ring in the alarm and gave him over; to. Chief Eg- gar_who, in turn, handéd the boy over to Policeman Champlin. The youth- ful offender was taken to the police station and there receivéd a repri- mand from the chiefs of the police and fire department, and was sent home. The boy was considerably frighten- ed and said he did_not “pull the thing” but that his little brother did, although told to leave it alome. The mother of the boy was summoned to the police station Friday evening and the two chiefs impressed her with the seriousness of sending in a false fire alarm, and warned her to see to it that ‘her little boys did no more in that line. Tt is believed these same | boys sent in the false alarm last Sun- day evening. This particular box is but a short distance from the ground, and Chie{ !Esger will have it placed higher on jthe pole, out of the reach of small boy Chief Egger said this alarm {cost the town about $25, which in- |cludes $15 for the apparatus drivers. [ The time lost to employers by firemen {leaving their work in response to fire alarms is not taken into considera- tion. Governor Beeckman states that he is endeavoring to reach an under- standing with political leaders in re- gard to calling a special session of the lezislature for the purpose of ratifying | the constitutional woman suffrage movement. The governor is in faver of a special session but will make no positive move. to that end -unless ap- proved by the party leaders. Local Laconie: One. trolleyman said he hoped the| strike would be on for a week, as it| was the only way he could get a va- | cation. ~ Another said a _settlement could not come too soon to suit him and he wanted to get back on his job. ! Judging by remarks prevalent in Westerly, public sentiment is opposed to the present trolley strike, and there is lack of sympathy for the strikers. The public used to demand trolley!

Everett D.’ Watrous of Providence is the guest of his aunt, Mrs. Herbert A. Babcock. No. 7 School street. With ‘the trolley work at a stand- still, there is business depression in Westerly, and the question is asked, | “Who's. ta blame?"” The work of constructing a sewer system in Westerly is how on the way. In the long ago travel to and from Watch Hill from Westerly was by the river route. The trolley line drove ex- cursion steamers from the river by giving better service, and not confined to the summer season. The Bulletins arrived in Westerly by automobile at 6.20 Friday morning. Weather permitting, the Westerly band will give a concert in_Wilcox park next Tuesday evening. The suc- cessive concerts will depend upon the | monetary liberality of the people. ! Rev.
