FOR IRISH RELIEF FUND The Norwich committee for relief in Ireland have closed their books and have sent to the state treasurer, Hon. David E. Pitzgerald, $11,000. The net result of the campaign in the Norwich district was $11,114. The balance—$114.26— will be sent to New Haven within a few days. Among the fate amounts received by the committee were $23 from tme town of Lisbon and an additional dona- toin of $6 from Jewett City. Local con. tributors since the last report were Mrs, Curtis and Fred Sears. . FORT WRIGHT 1:-INCHI GUNS SOLD FOR JUNK Four 12-inch guns costing the govern- ment about $100,000, were eold at public auction at Fort Wright Tuesday for $5,- €73. The buyer was the Connecticut Iron and Metal Co. of New London, through Louis Lubchansky, president. The guns which have been part of the defenses of Long Island sound, wers dismantled recently and advertised for sale at public auction. The guns weigh €10 tons and were bought for $3.30 a ton * Mr. Lubchansky intends to jink them. They will ba removed to New London! Struck By Automebite. David A. Williamson of Waterford recently sustained severe injuries in an automobile accident. He was alighting from the 7.15 a. m. trolley car in front ot his home on the Norwich and New London turnpike when two automobiles rapidly approached the spot from onpe- site directions. In the confusion which followed. a touring car. reported to have been driven by B. Francis ,of New Lon- don, struck Mr. Williamson. He was taken immediately to tha offics of Dr.' J. J. Donahue in Uncasville, and his in-. *ted, one on'! 1 to April 18, 1920, with those issued from | April 1 to April 18, 1921, and finds .that a year ago there were 14 applications received for permits to build at a valua- fon of $41,400. This vear there has been reccived 12 applications of a total value of $17.000. The most interesting featurs in this connection is the fact that in 1920 all the work was done by New London contractors. This year, of the $17,000 of work proposed, not a cent of it Is to be done by any contractor. Of the $17,000, $14,000 is being done by the carpenters themselves, three of wWhom are doing their own work and erecting homes for their own occupancy. In other words, the contractors point out, they have no work to do and vet the carpen- ters are opposing any reduction in Wages and doing work on their own account and for their own benefit. ACADEMY MUSICAL COURSE NET PROCEEDS ABOUT 8800 The Academy musieal course,” which closed this season with the concert last Friday night by Arthur Hackett, the American tenor, has been one of the most successful that has been held, both musically and financially. The net proceeds will be about $300 which will enable the management to turn over about $400 each to the Backus ahospital and to the Serbian Relief fund which were the objects to which the pro- ceeds were to be applied. Besides thé Hackett concert, the oth- er two numbers in the course were the concerts by Jeanne Laval, contralto, ana Joset Lheinne, pianist.

PARTISANS OF BARNES 3 AND LIBBY APPEAR (Continued from Page Five) happened in that case that would affect Judge Barnes as a man of integrity Mr. Bradford—"No.” Considerable cross questioning of ,Mr. Bradford by various members of the com- mittee along the following lines then took viace: Q—"Was Judge Barnes' testimony true or false?” A—"I don’t know.” Q—'Did Judge Barnes testify that what he certified to was incorrect > A—*T think he said he didn't know whether it was correct or not.” “We'll try to have an explanation of this matter a little later on,” said Arthur) M. Brown to the committee. . Mr. Brown | then called Casper K. Bailey, first select- man of the town of Norwich. First Selectman Endorses Barne “It has been my pleasure to serve the town of Norwich as first selectman for six years this fall,” said Mr. Bailey. “We have many cases that are brought before the court. I have thought Judge Barnes has used very good judgment. My experi- ence with him has been ver§y satisfac- Arthur M. Brown—"Is that the opinion of the board of selectmen?” Mr. Bailey—“Yes, that is the opinion | of the board. Mr. Bailey then went on to say that he believes the general opinion in Norwich is favorable to Judge Barnes. Senator Brown—"What is your opinion of any public feelig agamst Judge Barnes?" Mr. Bailey—"T haven't heard any.” Says Barnes Is Popular. Albert J. Bailey, clerk of the city court of Norwich, was next called by = Mr. Brown, counsel for Judge Bawnes. “It was my pleasure to be in the legis. lature when Judge Barnes was first ap- pointed,” said Mr. Bailey. “I have, held office as a state central committeeman since 1915. I dom't believe there was ever a man who sat on the bench who is more humane than Judge Barnes. If it ever came to an election, if it were possi- ble to elect the city court judge by ballot, | Judge Barnes would win out by a hand- some majority. I know of mo reason why he shouldn't be appointed. I know Mr. Libby. There is no question’ but that he is a very capable man. .

What I said in rezard to settling the strike I said simply thinking I was a peacemaker. That is ali the interest I had on the mat. ter. In the 28 years of my experience I never signed anythirg knowing It was false. Brown and James appeared. as counsel ‘for Mr. Moran to try and show the fact that Mr. Tuckie was not in his right mind when he signed the deed. I was called'in as a witness. I wasn't sum- moned. I went as a witness for the de- fense.” Judge Barnes then went on to tell in detail the - circumstances under which he signed his name to the paver as a justice of the meace. He said the napers were drawn by the judie of juebate. In an- swer to a_ auestion asked by Senator Brown as W whether ke had gone to the hospital where Mr. Tuckie' was a patient to get Mr. Tuckie's signature, Judge Barnes said: “I went to the hospital and took Mr. Tuckie's acknowledgment, a bill of sale, and it -is in your (Semator Brown's) files.” Judge Barnes said that just before the trial of the case.of Moran vs. Tuckie Judge Ayling, (Judge of probate for the district of Norwich) had come to him when he (Judge Barnes) was in a hurry and had, asked him to affix his signature to a sheaf of.papers. He.said. he signed them as a justice of the peaee supposing he was acknowledging -Judge Ayling's signature, W—' 10U Were not a witness to the mark?'

Arthur M. Brown sald he understood that Frank M.
