,JThe . Westerly gunmen were out in force Friday and filled’the spectators’ henches in the Third district court reom, interested in the adjourned case | h ot the state against C. Palmer Chap- man. Chapman was charged, on two counts, of pursuing. and killing two deer, on the Tth of® February last. When arrested by Game Wardens john F. Wallace and Frank G. Booth, nd given a hearing before Judge Oll- ver H. Williagns several weeks ago, he pleaded not guilty' and the case Wwas continued to Friday’s session. The first witness, Raymohd Barber,| was hazy in his recollection as to & time whed he saw C. Palmer Chap- man, the accused, and Milo M. Champlin together. He testified that he did not see them on Februdry 7 and could not remember Whether he saw them on the following day. He said he bad a falk with the game wardeéns but did not tell them he saw Chapman and Champlin together, but he,did see them and could not tell the day. The witness was excused by Assistant Attorney General: Sissen. Milo M. Champlin, the next witness, deciared he could not tell whether he mas with Chapman on the h of Feb- Tuary, ang could not recall seeing any depr with Chapman about that time. The witness was excused temporarily Ry-Mr. Sieson =Mresl Nathaniel G.

He drove the truck to the bridge, and he and Chapman got out. 7ié saig he dig not do anything after he, got out of ‘the truck, and Chap- man went off, “Where did you go?” asked Mr, Sis- sofn. You know where I went,” repl Judge Williams ' again interposed and. said: “Champlin, you are of full age and sane, and the court wants you to:know that you are suppesed to an- swer the questions put by the attor ney for the state. You have served in the coast guard, met all the require- mentg of the service: and therefore must be intelligent. The court has no desire fo use drastic measures to re- mind you of your duty as a witness.” Then came the query: “Where did | you £0?” “I folléwed Chapman up the track. Chapman had a gun; aidi't know whether it was a rifle or hot-gun.” The witness said he did fot-know what Chapman did up the track as he was quite a piece behind | him, Champlin after questions admit- ted that he haq made a statement to Warden Wallace as the coast guard station. Witness said he knew that Chapman had been arrested for shoot- ing deer, and had talked with Chap: man in regard to the case. Chapman tolq ‘him to keep still ‘and told him to call on Attorney Rathbun. This he did and the lawyer advised him to,say | nothing about the case. He recalled the day: Mrs, Chase warned him not to chase the deer. He met’ Chapman that day at the Chap- man farm; when Chapman got aboard the truck he had a gun with him. Chapman told witness to drive down the Watch Hill and Shore. road. Chap- man got out ang went into a lot, car- ! rying the gun. When Chapman came | back, they drove, down along the Shore road, and they saw two deer cross the roaq in front of the auto nd about, one hundred feet distant. The car was stopped. The deer came out from Captain Saundérs land and went up the track. Chapmfan followed, with witness some | huhdred feet behind. Chapman got ovér a*fence, onto his own, on his fa- ther's Chapman took the gun out of the'ease.

There were indications that the deag deer were taken away in_an automobile. Deputy Game Wardens Wallace and Booth testified as to the statement made to them by Champlin and of se- curing his signature to a written statement_which appears in evidence. Judge Williams = round man guilty on the two counts and imposed A fine of $100 and costs.in each., No- tice was Eiven that an appeal would be taken to the superior court. This case has created more than ordinary interest in_this section, as C. Paimer Chapman: the accused, is an officer in the state and local grange. and one of the most prominent farmers in the e. ‘Phe non-support case against Walter J. Reid was continued to Friday nut. If the house concurs with the sen- ate, action, the salary of M. Walter Fiynn, the recently elected. clerk of creased from $800 to $1100 and like increase will be made in salaries of clerks of all the district courts, exeept the Sixth or Prfovidence district court, where the salary is now $4,000. . The act was infroduced by Senator Sangey of Warren by unanimous consent. He explained the act was drawn to re- place several acts raising salaries of certain district court clerks, and that it had been decided to raise the pay of all the clerks, except in the sixth district. He asked for immediate con- sideration and it was granted and the act was passed under suspensios of the rules. It means to some clerks pay at the rate of more than $25 an heur for actual service rendered. Senator Maurice W. Flynn intro- duced an act authorizing the town of Westerly to see land dedicated to pub- use, and to acquire other land subject to the same public use. This was passed in the senate and transferred to the house under rules. suspension In the house, Representative 'Davis asked for immediate consideration. ‘There was no objection and the act was passed in concurrence. This will give the town authority to sell River- side park, the public playground, and to purchase other land tg be deveted to like puposes. That is, the town copld sell %he park and purghase the Hannah_Crandalt property for play- ground purposes.
