Johnson Noank blacksmith, on the charge of obtaining $350 under false pretenses from Osborn Sharples of Groton in selling him a half interest on the patent of a side contortion rod for Ford automobiles. The evidence in the“case was all con- cluded shortly before 4 o'clock and At- torney Troland occupied the last half hour of the court's session for the day in making his argument before Judge Allyn L. Brown and the jury. When court comes in this (Friday) morning, Attorneys B. H. Hewitt and H. W. Rath- bun will make -their arguments for the defense and State Atorney Hadlai A. Hull will close the case for the state. After Judge Brown has fdelivered his charge to the jury, the twelve men will retire to the jury room to endeavor to reach a verdict. The two words “patented and patent- able” have nuw been brought into the case as keywords in the eituation be- tween Johnson and Sharples as the Tat- ter claims that Johnson told him he had a device that had been patented, while | Johnson clatms all he said about it was that it was patentable. Johnson, who was testifying Wednes- day when court adjourned, resumed the witness stand Thursday morning. In the course of his testimony he denied that !Sharplas paid him $350 in a New London savings bank or that he received this sum from Sharples at any other time. He also 'denfed that he promised in Lawyer Walker's office to pay back $350 to Sharples. Johnson further testified that he had Atorney A. P. Tanner of New London investigate the matter of securing a patent for the side contor- tion and he showed a letter from At- torney Tanner saying that the apliance was worthy of a patent. This letter was dated in July, 1919, and about a year court here y Thomas A. te attorney, MISSIONARY SERMON AT COUNTY BAPTIST CONVENTION The annual convention of the New London Baptist Aseociation came to a close Thursday afternoon at the Third ‘Baptist church after a two days' session. The morning session Thursday opened with a devotional period led by Rev. George Borden. Addresses included ‘Work of the Pastor-at-Large, by Rev. E. E. Gates, state board of promotion, Rev. H. B. Sloat, state convention, r.D A. B. Coats, and a missionary sermon by Rev. J. A. Eler. In his sermon Rev. Mr. Elder said in part: There is a moral dignity belonging to the missionary enterprise which calls for the noblest, most heroic in a man. The time has passed when a man who could not succeed in anything else could be a missionary. To be called into the service of Christ is a high privilege. Jesus Christ needs us and gives ns the call. When He asked the disciples to go into _the world, He asked men to attempt the greatest task in the world. There is an imperative nature of the call today in Furope and Asia. We have listened to the call for mil- itary strength, the .call for benevolence. Now we need t6 listen to the call of those peoples who are spiritually adrift and seeking liberty and light It is a call not only for pastors and mission- aries but for every Christian. In making our fleld the world we are unhamperd by anything in our past his- tory. Th afternoon session opened at 1.30 o'clock. There were addresses on The Womarfs Forelgn Mission Society by Miss Clara Tingley of Burma and Rev. W. F. Thomas al of Burma. a % |pIvoRcES 1IN conwEcTICUT WERE FEWER IN 1926 Divorces fell off in Connecticut in the court year between July 1920, and July 1921, which was rather unexpected as the year before there had been an in- crease of 50 per cemt in the number of divorces granted in the state. July of this year showed 1382 decrees granted whereas July 1920 showed 1,448, the de- crease being 106. Bighty eight fewer men obtained decrees than during the last year and seventeen fewer wmen. There were thirty four in New Lon- don county, 37 in Litehfield county, 30 in Hartford county and 6 in Toland. Decrees were refused in 19 cases in Fairfield county, 10 in Hartford county, 10 in New Haven, 2 in Waterbury, 3 In New London county and 1 in Middle- sex county. New Haven county—including the court at Waterbury—leads in the num- ber of decrees granted with 488. Fair- field ounty is second with just 100 less; and Hartford ceunty third with 307. Tolland still holds its place of undisturbed domestic tranquility with nine divorce cases, being the smallest record for the year. Litchfield county with 22 cases this year had less than half of the number of the previous year.

IN WEST SIDE HOUSE l Following a complaint made at police headquarters Thursday night by August Gome that he had been robbed of abqut 3% at the home of Lee Debarros of 247 ‘Wiest Main street which was sifted out until it showed that Gomez had become badly fuddled after buying drinks at the West Main street house Thursday after- noon, Capt. D. J. Twomey had the house raided. A glass jug and a jar containing what is said to be a quantity of hooch were found in a bed room as well as four bottles and jars, each with a small quan- tity of liquor in them. Debarros was arrested, and, according to the police, confessed that he had sold drinks to Gomez who had been buying for several people, thereby accounting for the money which Gomez thought he had been robbed of. Sergeant John H. Kane, Officers Dom- broski, Driscoll, Perry and P. Murphy made the raid. A friend gave bonds for Debarros for his appearance in court. of in Haddam —Ceroner Stephen B. Da- vis has recelved the resignation of Dr, F. J. Loewe as medical examiner for Haddam. He has appointed Dr. J. Bruce Crook, of East Haddam to fill the vacan- cy. Dr. Loewe announced that he resign- ed because he intends to leave Haddam. later he showed it to Sharples. When Sharples asked him why he @d not have it patented, Johnson said that he told him that it was a matter of and that it would cost $350 to put it on the market. He did not, however, ever get any money, from Sharples or tell him that he had“a patent for the apliance. The letter was laid as an.exhibit as Wwas also the agreement between Sharples and Johnson which Attorney Walker drew up. . Albert F. Hewitt and deputy sherift James E. F. Brown of Mystic were in- troduced as character witnesses for Johnson. £ The state brought in Dr. Ernest J. Abernathy of New London, who testified to hearing Johnson refer to the device as one that had been patented. As a _rebuttal witness, the state pro- duced Attorney Tannmer, who identffied the letter that he had written to John- son, but upon objection by the attorneys for the accused attorney Tanner was mot allowed to tell what the letter referred to. Charles A. Hunt of New London, an- other rebuttal witness, testified that Johnson had told him the device was patented and gave him authority to sell it. Sharples was recalled by the state and denied that he ever saw the letter from Attorney Tanner to Joimson. Attorney Walker was also recalled to the witness stand where he denied that Johnson used the word patentable in referring to the device. He sald the agreement was read in the hearing of both Sharples and Johnson. This concluded the state's case and the defendant's attorneys called Mrs. Johnson to the stand, but she was not allowed to answer a question put to her regarding what Johnson had said in the presence of Dr. Abernathy. This closed the testimony for botn sides. e e SHRINEES' HALLOWE'EN CEREMONIAL TO BE BIG EVENT After an euthusiastic meeting Thurs- day night at the Masonic temple of the local committee arranging for the Hal- lowe'en ceremonial of Sphinx temple, Order of the Mystic Shrine, here on Saturday, Oct. 29, a parade with 2,500 In line was forecasted as a big feature of the day.
