NORWICH TOWN ‘There was evening prayer and an ad- dress at the Sheltering Arms Sunday af- ternoon. Rev. Richard R. Graham, rec- tor of Christ Episcopal church, took for his subject Ascension Day. Forly days after Raster is' when we commemorate the blessed ascension of our Lord into heaven. - It is well for us to think seri- ously of this ascension, think whence He returned to God as one who gained the victory over death. We should think of Him as the great High Priest. He was made in all points like us but without sin. Christ is ever offering sacrifices for others. He knows our needs, knows what is always best for us. He is one who is in perfect touch with us, and always in touch with God. Through Christ - we have access to the Father. This Eternal Son of God is our great High Priest who is ever offering up mercy for us through His own sacrifice. He is our represénta- tion now at the right hand of God. Rev. Mr. Graham was accompanied by the boy choir of Christ church which rendered several selections from the church hymnal. John Kane gave a solo, hymn 661. Organist Ernest M.

Sullivan from St. Patrick’s,| tional church, Saturday afternoon, May | The testimony in the trial of Matteo Guastamachia of Norwich Town, Pas- quale Capognia and Tony Baldi of Groton on the charge of having burg: larized the Glen Woolen mills at Nor- wich Town and stolen $2,500 worth of cloth on the night of Dec. 31 was in before Judge James H .Webb and the jury in the superior court at New London late Tuesday afternoon, and arguments will begin when court opens this (Wed- nesday) morning at 10 o'clock. At the opening of court Tuesday morn- ing, Judge Webb said that he would not allow the introduction of any more tes- timony regarding the alleged beating which Capognia had testified he received immediately after his arrest by state po- licemen. P On Frifay afternoon 'the accused testi- fled that he was given a severe beating by County Investigator William E. Jack- son, Detective Roach and other officers in the office of State Attorney Hull in an effort to make him confess to the Tate & Neilan and other robberies and that he was kept there from 1 o'clock in the afternoon of his arrest until 4 o'clock the following " morning during which time he was only given one sand- wich to eat. ‘When court came in Tuesday following a conference in chambers with State At- torney Hull and counsel for the accused, Judge Webb told the jury that he would not permit any further inquiry of the ac- cused regarding the maltreatment he received -and asked the jury to dismiss from their minds any testimony along this line that they may have heard Friday afternoon. He ruled that the testimony of treat- ment he may haVe received during the investigation or inquiry into the Tate & Neilan or any other robbery was collater- al and was not relevant to the question of Capognia’s guilt or innocence of the robbery at the Glen Woolen mills and that it had no bearing upon the case on trial. Judge Webb stated that he had inform- ed State Attorney Hull and counsel for the accused that testimony along this line would be prohibited and he further stat- ed that it was no more than fair to say that the state attorney denied the charges and that he was prepared to in- T0 MAKE BURGLARY TRIAL ARGUMENTS H’luence their judgment as to his connec- troduce contradictory testimony if it were allowed. The court cautioned the jury against letth;g the testimony by Ca- pognia regarding/the alleged beating in- fon with the crime for which he is being tried. . Capognia who was on the stand when then recalled and questioned by his coun- court adjourned Friday _afternoon, was sel, At\rney Perry J. Hollandersky. The accused emphatically denied any know- ledge of the burglary at the Glen Wool- en mills. He said that he was at home on the day and night of the robbery and for a day or two before and after and that members of his family were with him. The witness denied having gone to Guastamachia’s farm in Norwich Town on the day in question, or having driven the Reo truck, as alleged by Baldi, who has turned state’s evidence. Capognia al 50 denled having told Paldi that he would share in the peofits resulting from the sale of the cloth or having told Baiai that Jack Andriola of Groton would buy the cloth. State's Attorney Hadiai A. Hull put on the stand in rebuttal. Neison Smith of the New London police force who testified that Capognia had told the sergeant where Baldi lived in Groton and that he thought some coth might be found at Baldi's house. County Investigator V E. Jackson' was next on the stand, testi- fying that he went to Baldi's house and found there a satchel with one lot of goods in it, these being part of the cloth stolen from the Glen Woolen mills. Several other New London policemen were brought to the stand by the state's attorney, but were not allowed to testify upon objection by counsel for the accused men. Attorneys for the accused had Stenog- rapher Graham'’s notes on Baldi's testi- mond taken at the Norwich police court trial read to show discfepancies which they claimed between his testimony there and in the superior court. Attorney Thomas M. Shields read the notes. Baldi was the last witness before both sides rested. He was put on the stand and testified that he spent the next night after the burglary at the Guastamachia house at Norwich Town and that Jack Guastamachia showed him his room. BRANFORD FARM AYSHIRES BRING VERY LOW PRICES Surprisingly low prices were secured for the greater part of the herd of pedi- greed and registered Ayshires and Hol- stein cows and bulls of which nearly 100 were sold at auction Tuesday at Branford farms, Eastern Point. ~ But| $3,115 was the total receipts for 24 high class Ayshires, many of them of blue ribbon lincage which the late Commodore Plant had assembled into his herd. The highest price brought from the sale of a single animal was the $1,025 bid by Mrs. W. S. Kellogg of Derby, for Joan's Bran- ford Pontiac, a grandson of the great milk producer, Lady Bergsmd, 2d, where- as the best cow of the entire herd on the Plant estate, the Ayshire, Mt. Hermon Purity Creamelle, was bought by Lafay- ette Keeney of Somerville, owner of the noted Keeney dairy farm for $300. The prices in both cases are much er than their generally estimated v: Other registered ang zraded Holsteins and Ayshires sold are as follows: ford Colantha De Kol, $250; Olive Sprig Colantha De Kol, $150; Branford Pontiac Alice De Kol, $165! Branforl Eva Dart, $160; Joan of Racmamwey, $265; Bran- ford Korndyke, $250. But $100 was se- cured for Sweet Brook Prinzessen, a granddaughter of Fairview Korndyke Lad. Estimates placed the value of the 200 odd %eattle in the herd at more than $100,- 000, but with total sales up to the mid- dle of the afternoon, when about 100 were disposed of, amountink to $15,000, the bargains picked up by shrewd bid- bedrs can readily be seen. A crowd of several hundred, people attended the auction, but most of the purchases, especially those for the large sums, were made by out-of-town ‘persons.
