WHO SET FIRE TO PRESTON HOUSE —_— ‘ Sarah Midgkins, colored, accused of arson in having set fire to the home of Herbert L. Harrls in Preston on July 6th last, pleaded guilty to the charge in the criminal superfor gourt here Wed- nesday afternoon and was sentenced hy Judge Allyn L. Brown to not Jess than one year nor more than two 'n state's prison. When put to plea Tuesday,,Miss Midgkins had said she was not guilty but she changed her plea Wednesday after severa talks with Public Defender Charles L. Stewart who was assigned to her as counsel. Earlier in the day ‘State Attorney Hadlal A. Hull had the woman exam: tal, who declared her sane. not seem affected by her sentence bLut shook hands with Attorney Stewart, ap- parently in gratitude for what he had done in her case, and after court ad- journed she was taken back to the Nor- wich jail where she will be kept until she is taken to state prison to begin serving her sentence. The case had been fully expiained to Judge Brown during the day by State Attorney Hull and Public De- fender Stewart, neither of whom made a public statement in court before sen- tence was pronounced. At the time Miss Midgkins was taken into custody by the Norwich police, she stated that she set the house on fire because she could not bear to see someone else come to live there where she had been house- ! keeper for Mr. Harris for several years. The house was .discovered on fire in the early part of the afternoon and was burned to the ground. The flames spread to the barn which was also destroyed. The cause of the fire was a mystery at first, but that night Miss Midgkins vol- untarily came to Norwich police head- quarters and gave herself up to Capt. D, J. Twomey, saying that she had set the piace on fire. She has been in jail since then. Cloth Theft Tases Mike Lapouch of Norwich was put to Plea on two counts, theft on May 26 of a quantity of cotton cloth, valued at $49, from Palmer Bros. Co. of Fitch- ville, and theft of $49 worth of cloth from the . S. Finishing Co. of Nor- wich. He pleaded guilty to both counts, Naja TLapouch, wife of Mike, pleaded to theft of $45 worth of cloth. These wera both changes in the first information. State's Attorney Hull moved for sen- tence in these cases and Attorney Aa- ronson of Ansonia made a statement to the court on behalf of thw accused. He said these two people had been buy- ing steren goods without realizing what they were doing and now that thev un- | derstood, they wanted to thréw~ them- selves upon the mercy of the court and make a fresh start. State Attorney Hull dld not oppose probation in these cases and > Judge Brown made the sentence on Mike La- pouch $100 fine and six months in jail on each of two counts. The jail sen- tence is suspended and the aceused is to be on vrobation for one year. Naja Lapouch was. fined $100 and given six months in jail, jail sentence suspended and probation for a year in charge of the probation officer of the city court of ‘Norwich, Fedat Wusziez and hts wife Dora, both of Fitchville, each pleaded guilty to theft of $49 worth of cloth on May 26 from Palmer Bros. mill at Fitchville. Judge Brown made the sentence for each a'fine of $100 and cost, six months in jaif, With jail sentence sus- pended and the accuséd to be on pro- bation for a year. George McFarland, 20, who pleaded not guilty Tuesday to the charge of statutory burgalary on Aug. 7, at Pat- rick “Walsh’s place in Montville, changed his plez to guilty on We#lnesday after- Judge Brown sentenced the man to 9 months in jail, suspended the sen- tence and put the man on probation for a year in charge of probation officer, noon. Mansfield. 3 Michael Macuta of Norwich pleaded not guilty to theft of $1,000 worth of cloth from a freight car in Norwich, which he entered. On Burglary Charge. At the morning session of court, Carl Brown, 30, a negro of Niantic, was sentenced to five months in jail on a charge of burglary. The accused plead- ed not guilty to the charge Tuesday but changed his plea to guilty Wednesday morning» Brown was arrested by Con- stabla Charles Tubbs at the:.plant of the Thgmes Dyeing and Bleaching Co. in Niantic on Aug. i1, when he held the watchrman up at the point of a gun, vhich later was discovered to be a toy ol containig = blank cartridges. Brown was drunk at the time. Public Defender Stewart made =a strong plea for probation and sald Brown was all right when sober. Since he came north he has lived most of the time in Rhode Island. Rev. C. F. Eldredge told the court he had embployed Brown and he gave satisfaction and he® was willing to give him work and be responsible for his be- havior. Major Hull said some of the men of Niantie thought Brown be restrained as he threatened people when in liquor and once tried to get into the telephone office where gjrl op- erators were. A. Oliver of New London and Mrs. Lillian Gilman of New TLondon, . aged 20, pleaded guilty to the charge of adul- tery. They were given nine months in jail and then were placed on_ proba- tion. The matter had been explained to the court in the private room of Judge Brown sad Major Huli did not opnose leniency. The case of the state vs. Richard H. Johns of Groton, accused on non-suport of his wife from June 1 to Sept. 1, was ca’led un. He has been in jail Judge Brown had a long talk with Mr. and Mrs. Johns and also consulted Ma- jor Hull and Major Lawless. The mat- ter was continued and %he couple left court with Major Lawless. The 35 jurors summoned reported at court in the morning and were excused until the afternoon. Charles F. Daniels of Colchester was excused. for the term. Court adjourned about 4.30 until Thurs- day morning at 10 o'clock. Most of the day Wednesday was oc- cupied with conferences between State Attorney ‘Hu}: and Judge Brown and between the state attorney, public de- fender and attorneys for several of the accused. Most of the cloth theft cases on the docket are still to he dis- posed of and the state attorney’s room looks something like a drygoods store as there are piles of cloth scattered all around it, each duly tagged as evidence in one case or another. select- show'd MORE WOMEN THAN MEN IN THREE STATE COUNTIES Of a total population of 1,380,631 as shown for Connecticut in the fourteenth census of the United States in 1920, there were 1,358,732 white enumerated with negroes ranking second with 21.- 046.

Lam- bert, 56, widow of Peter Lambert, vet- eran of the Civil .War, committed suicide at her home on Buck street some time Tuesday evening by hanging. Her body was_found in a little clothes closet about midnight by her son, Henry Lambert. Worry and dgspondencv over the fact that her younger son, Willis Lambert, left home some months ago and enlisted in the U. S.'Navy is thought to have been the cause of her act. Mrs, Lambert also”has a married daughter, Regina living in New York. She and the son Henry lived alone. Hen= ry went home to his supper about six o'clock Wednesday evening. He found the table set. The dpor of the home was unlocked but his mother was not about. While he thought this strange he was not much worried as he believed she had gone out to visit in the neighborhood. hay and fodder, while $7,218,194 repre- sented ~vegetables, $4,457)809 was the value of cereals, and the remainder or $19,104,815 Dbeing listed as all other crops.

Wed- | After spending the evening at the club where he mentioned his mother’s ab- sence to friends, Henry went- home near midnight. s He went to his mothers' room but she was not in. He then started a search of the house bat could not find her. As 2 last resort he opened the little closet door and found the body. ! The closet where the body was found was about 6 feet by 4 feet. In it were two trunks, Mrs. Lambert had taken a piece of clothes line which she had attached to a shelf. On the other end she made a noose. Through the noose she had stuck her head with the rope coming under her chin. With her feet about thrée inches from the floor and a trunk on each side of her, she had strangled to death. The Lambert family have lived in Putnam for many years. The husband died sothe time ago. About three months ago the younger son left home. Later his moth# received word from Michigan,| that he“had enlisted in the navy and was sorry and wanted to come home. The mother sought helo and an effort was being made to have the boy dis- charged as the mother needed his help to support the home. It is thought that worry over the son was the cause of the woman's suicide. STATE HOSPITAL PATIENT FOUND IN NEW HAVEN Franclsco Clarbirri of = 169 Walnut street, New London, has been an inmate of the Norwich State Hospital for many months, but about four weeks ago he learned through the newsparers that his uncle, James Spadro, of 151 Prospect avenue, New Haven, was shot and killed by an unkriown assailant. He then de- cid=d to attend the.funeral of his uncle an\ accordingly, took French leave from the 1Rgpital.

Arrange- ments have been made for them to have their headquarters in the Red Cross of- fice at the town hall, which is the room in the réar of the police court. = The . sending of clean-up squads throughout the country is-an effort of the federal government to settle all sorts of claims which ex-service men may have against_ the government. The Veterans' Bureau combines the departments of war risk insurance, public health seryice and vocational education, so that, it is em- powered to attend to any matters upon which ex-service men of the recent war may have claims against the govern- ment. Howrver, one of the indispensible requirements for a man to have his claim considered iy that he should bring his discharged papers with him. If a man presents himsel? without his discharge papers he might just as well have saved himself the trip to see the officialwof the bureau. 5 Specialists, who will be prepared to¥ex- amine and expedite all claims presented by the ex-service men, will be included in the clean-up squad and it is hoped that when their work is over there will be no ex-service man in this territory with a claim that has not been give such attention gs will insure its settlé- ment. ¥ BOY SCOUTS ON DUTY Boy Scouts of Norwich were on duty at the fair grounds during the county fair.
