After the civil docket was disposed|ers’ association ®f at Friday's session of Third _district eourt in Westerly, Ju Oli- ver H. Williams, calleq the only crim- nal case on the docket, that of Thom- as E. Brown, chief of police, against Carmentina Toscano, charged with . indecent exposure. The respondent, who was on bail, was net in court, put was brought in, later. He explain- »d that he supposed the hour to re- -pert was 11 e’clock and not 9§ o'clock, and the court gave him the benefit of the supposition. This atter Town So- lieitor Harry B. Agard stated that he ::d probably omitted the time when told the aceused }to report in pourt. e Toscano pleaded mnot guilty two weeks ago, and he renewed that pl The allegeg offence is said to have been cemmitted in Elm street . and @rove avenue, between 2 and 2.30 o'- tlock in the afternoon of March 22. Three girls, two eleven and one 12 rg of age, testified as to the of- g.. and identified Toscano as the eftender, Toscano was Without seunsel and he dleclayr:u he had no money to give to lawyers. ¢ B In his ewh behalf and with the aid ®f an interpreter, Toscano .told the rt that he had a wife and four children, resided in John street, had lived in Westerly for sixteen years and had never given the police or sayone else any trouble. He denied the charge against him and said the little girls must be mistaken in the Identity, he was not in Elm street or in Grove avenue at the time the tnesses said they saw him there. He said he left home at about 11 e’- clock, on the day the offence is al- leged to have been committed and re- turned 12.30 with medicine for his mick wife and that he did not leave his home again that day until be- tween 3.30 and 4 o'clock. He was pos- Itive of his innocence of the charge. It there was exposure at any time it was unconsciously se and caused by neglect in dressing. He declared the children must be mistaken in the identification. Town Solicitor Agard said the oharge was of a serious nature at best, but more so when little girls were selecteq as enforced witnesses. He considered the evidence sufficient t® hold the accised for an investiga- tion by the grand jury of the super- ler court. Judge Willlams adjudged Toscano prebably guilty of the offence, as charged, and he was ordered held for trfal in the superior court. The hond was fixed at $500, and furnished, with James Di Marei as surety. A Bunday moving picture act has been reported favorably by the judic- fary committee, to the Rhode Island legislature, Like measures have been presented at previous sessions and falled of ‘passage. The-resolution was passed for the payment of $81.14 to Sheffield Green, forest warden for Westerly. The act has reached the calendar permitting the redic\jen of the capital stock of the Westerly and cutting is at a standstill in the prin- | is years, to go into effect at once. In the agreement this rate would not be d:ecflv:fl for fl‘;:e smnnth!, the pay. l: the inte to be $6.60 or eigl Reurs ox SEaiant A Bek k. Westerly has taken a stand with other granite centres in New England. The old, old song, with lines, “a dollar a day is very good pay when working on the railwa: and “how gay would [ be and what sight would I see If I had but a thousand a year,” are sung no more. Eight dollars a day and three thousand a year are more timely and more tuneful in Westerly, and the slogan of eight hours .for work, eight hours for re- creation and eight .hours for sleep prevails. ‘Wage condition have changed since the time the lines in the old songs made them popular, Richard B. Mgllen of Pittsburgh has purchased from Frank W. Coy, the three acre tract at Wateh Hill, known as Sunshine park, recently. owned by George B. Langworthy, and adjoining land previously owned by Mr. Mellon, This new purchase is op- posite the summer home of Mr. Dun- ham of Hartford, Already all the large houses that are rentable at ‘Wateh Hill have been engaged and but few smaller cottages are avail- able. It is about ten years since the stone cutters of Westerly were on -a strike. The present situation has not really reached a strike condition, but just at present there is no telling what may be the result of the volun- tary lay off of the union men. The Boston conference was slow in com- ing to terms for submission to the local unions and the members were placed in a position where they must submit without opportunity for care- ful considération, or quit work under the agreement which expired with March 31. They chose the latter al- ternative. There was nothing else the men could do consistently under the union rules, pending final decision. The bill of prices was presented to employers in ample time for ade- quate adjustment and mistake was made in waiting for the eleventh hour before. The number of granite cutters in Westerly at the. present time is considerably less than in the strike of ten years ago and then the number was much smaller than when the big strike was on years before.
