Johnson the Noank blacksmith, was found guilty in the superior court here late Friday afternocn of securing $350 Dby false pretenses from Osborn Sharples by selling him a half interest in an alleged patent on Oct. lith last. About 26 minutes after Judge Allyn Ii. Brown had finished his charge and hand- ed the case over to the jury, they re- turned to the court room with the ver- dict of guilty which Foreman Martin E. Jensen of this city reported. Sentence is to be pronounced at noon next Wednesday. Meanwhile Johnson has been admitted to bail in the sum of $2,000, which was furnished by a friend. Johnson's trial was begun last week Thursday, and when court came in Fri- day morning counsel for Johnson made their arguments before the jury. Sen- ator B. 1L Hewitt, who spoke from 10:07 to 1 lo'clock was followed by Judge I W! Rathbun who occupied an hour in his argument. Mr. Johnson’s wife and four children, who have beer in the court all through the trial, occupied seats with him near the counsel's table. State Attorney Hadlai A. Hull occu- pied -three quarters of an hour before the noon recess in the final argument for the state and finished his argument in 45 minutes after the recess. Judge Brown used forty minutes in making his charge to the jury, the first charge that he has delivered from tbe uperior court bench He defined tle statute under which the accusation against Johnson was brought, pointed out the elements necessary to con-titute tha crime charged, and discussed the ques tion of reasonable doubt. Before pass- ing on to a review of the evidence, he spike of the way evidence should be ap- plied to a case. Judge Brown spoke briefly on the point of the credsmility of Wwitnesses and as to the value of charac- ter witnesses and in conclusion called the attention of the jury to what he said were the two crucial controverted peints, viz: Did Johnson falsely repres- ent that he had a patent and did Sharples pay him $350? Cloth Theft Cases Before State Attorney Hull made his argument at the opening of the after- noon session of court Mike Kalada, who was one of the men appearing before this term of court on the charge cf theft of cloth from mills, pleaded guilty to theft of $50 on April 1. He was fined $50 on the first count, $50 on the second count, $100 on the third count and costs and given 6 months in j The jail sentence was suspendad and he was put on probation for a r. Attorney Thomas M. Shields was the co ¥ Attorney Shields was also counsel for Peter Lastic, another cloth thief, who changed his plea to guilty to the amount of $25. He was fined $100 without costs.

Coliles, Jr, was called up It was alleged that he took 126 empty oil barrels belonging to the state of Con- neoticut that were in the vieinity of Voluntown and told them. The case was wirked up by the police of Jewett City and other officers Collins was fined $100 on each- of three counts and was seftenced to jail for six months. The jail sentence was suspend- ed for a vear and he was put on proba- tion. The accused made good the loss to the state. NORWICH HOUSING CO. VOTES LIQUIDATION DIVIDEND Steps towards terminating the corpoi ate existence of the Worwich Housing Co. were taken at a special meeting of the stockholders Friday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Shetuck- et street and at the directors' meeting which followed. A 30 per cent liquid- ation dividend was declared by the directors’ meeting. President C. D. Noyes presided at the stockholders’ meeting where they were informed that it it was considered the in- of all would be best served by ing and liquidating the company. The stcckholders were assured that in case they voted to do this the interests of each one would be carefully looked out for. They were reminded that the housing company was organized as a result of war conditions that the need for it had now passed and that it had not proved very attractive from an in- vestment standpoint. This was due very rgely to the abnormally low rents that charged for the apartments and rents have never been raised. It was felt that the houses would do bet- ter under private ownersip than if they remained the property of the company. The stockhclde: were told that under the authority given them by the by-laws the directors had disposed of all the un- productive property of the company and of several of the houses and in dispe ing of the remaining fourteen houses th will do so without sacrificing them or throwing them on the market. None of the houses will be disposed of necdlessly or reckle but should the directors | of BOY'S LIFE CRUSHED OUT UNDER MOTOR TRUCK WHEEL (Special to The Bulletin.) Danielson, Sept. 16.—The life of Ber- beault, 12, was instantly snuf- fed out at noon today, when one side of hisThead was crushed to a pulp when he tumbled off a bicycle and rolled w der a rear wheel of a big motor truck belonging to the Max Gordon and Corp. _of Norwich. Andrew Burdow of Norwich was operating the tru which ‘was moving very slowly and was stopped within feet from the place where the boy was crushed to death, and Dennis a helper, was riding on the seat with Burdowski, who is not regarded by officials who inves- tigated the case as in any way respon- sible for the accident. The fatal happening orth Main street, occurred on near Morin avenme, just at noon. Bernard Baribeault, with his smaller brother, Harold, as a pas- senger on the carrier at the rear of the bicycle, wag riding along the state road in company Wwith two other boys Who were on another machine. It ap- pears that the bicycles were being op- erated in such close proximity to each other that they rubbed wheels just as the truck was passing and the Bari- seault boys were thrown from thelr machine, Bernard being thrown directly in the nath of the left rear wheel, which passed over his head. crushing it and causing intant death.

Robin- son of 398 West Main, street, a peddler, who had with him Hugh Bromley, also of West Main street, was hit and upset Friday night opposite Wightman's witch at Norwich Town by an automo- bile driven by Lester Bendett of 110 North High street. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Bromley suffered minor injurics, consisting of bruises and abrasions, and were taken to the Backus hospital, where Mr. Bromley stayed over night but Mr. Robinson went to his home. Mr. Bendett reported the accident at police headauarters where he said he was on the way to Willimantic when he met the wagon coming in tlie opposite di rection. He was keeping off the track of the trolley switch at this point and was well over to his left hand side of the road, which accounted for his hit- ting the wagon. The left forward fend- er of his machine struck the left front wheel of the wagon. The horse was not hurt, but the wagon had a wheel smash- ed and a shaft broken tal, BOY ON TAFTVILLE HILL WAS HIT BY AUTOMOBILE Walter Lemont of No. 341 Main street, reported to the police Friday night that while he was driving his machine down a hill at Tafty during the early even- ing he hit and knocked down a five year old boy by the name of Sevigny. He took the child to the office of Dr. Geo. Thompson in Taftville where it was found that he was bruised about the forehead, knee and ankle. Mr. Lemont told the police that he was driving at about seven miles an hour. He slowed down for a group of children who were in the street ahead of his machine. They ail got out of the way but the Sevigny boy suddenly dart- ed across the street rizht into the path of the machine and was knocked down. MANY ENJOY HOSPITALITY AT A. R. RACE'S HOME Between 125 and 150 neighbors and other friends of A. R. Race and his daughter, Miss Rena Race, were enter- tained at their home in North Franklin Friday evening at an informal social gathering. There were present at the gathering guests from New York, West- erly, Willimantic and Norwich, includ- ing Representative C. Pendleton and former Councilman Clarence M. Barber of Norwich. During the evening there were instru- mental and vocal selections and refresh- ments were served. The evening proved a most enjoyable one for all. Colored Minister Makes Converts As a result of the recent evangelistic meetings held at the Rockville Colored Baptist Mission by Rev. Mr. Thomas of Norwich, eleven candidates have prcfesed conversion. They will be baptised Sun- day afternoon at 1 o'clock in the pond at F. W. Bradley’'s at Rockvile. Rev. Napoleon Hall, the pastor, will perform the ceremony, assisted by his deacons, J. nd removed to his place of business on ‘Turnace street. The dead bov was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Baribeault, who own and 'occupy what is known as the Kenyon bungalow at Elmville and the boys were on their way home from school when the accident happened. TO BE WELL DRESSED NOW TAKES VERY LITTLE MONEY No woman, no matter how moderate her means, need wear antiquated clothes these days. For the prices on up to date garments are really more reasonable than the average woman can expect in case she tries to do her own dressmak- in; 7y here are certain new touches to mod- ern clothes which make them as different from those of even two or three years ago as they are from those worn by by one's great gradnmother. For example there is the elastic waist-line, the Du Barry sleeve—which runs to the belt —there is the uneven skirt-edge, also the smart frock alike front and back, because made bib-fashion ending in panel points, there are new conceits in necks and shoulders and trimming—in fact, the art of making a dress has advanced as surprisingly as has the art of traveling in a swift car from the Colonfal “one se s| days! dresses begin in price at or $12.50 and run up to $29.50 or $35 and when a woman has bought such a dress she feels that she has something to wear which is of modish material and cut and finish, which does not look botchy, or of the Pilgrim Mothers' date—a garment dressy enough to be worn with comfort and assurance at any time and under any condition. It is true that suitable clothes have a marked effect upon health—for the wo- man confident that she is well and sui ably dressed cannot but feel in good spirits. There is much more to be said this to upon —but this is merely a hint to Saturday shoppers to make a wise invest- ment by buying a modern dress from these merchants who are advertising to- date garments in The Bulletin today! GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION FOR SAFETY FIBST WEEK Governor Lake has issued a prociama- tion designating the period from Sept. 1§ to 24 as “Safety First Week” during which he urged citizens to take precau tions to avoid accidents and correct dan gerous conditions and give thought to the causes that result in accidents in an effort to conserve lives and property. The following is the text of the proclamation which will be read from pulpits all over Conecticut next Sunday and in public and private schools. “Every patriotic American is Interest- ed in the conservation of human life and property. The growth of traffic on the public highways of the state has al- ready breatly increased the danger to life, limb and property. The first law of mankind is self preservation anc the second law should be the preservation of fellow men. Carelessness is more destructive than siege guns. It is this country’s greatest enemy, yet the mil- itary forces cannot be marshaled against it. The problem of proper regulation, thereof can beé sudjass@uilly met only ‘through the organization of the educa- tional and corrective agencies and the cooperation of the public officials and private citizens. There have already been far too many accidents of a se- rious and distressing nature. Drivers of motor vehicles must realize that they bring danger into the streets and there H. Johnson and E. R.

Pedestrians on the other hand must show a willingness to keep within the safety limits and to avoid needlessly exposing themselves to danger. The greatest caution and re- gard for the rights of others must be shown by ail. Therefore, 1 proclaim the | Sheltering Arms a week of September 18/ as Safety First ‘Week and request that.during such per- iod all citizens of the state take pre- cautions to avoid accidents and correct dangerous conditions and give thought to the causes that result in accidents. In particular, I recommend that each citizen consider his own great moral responsibility toward others with respect to his conduct on the highways, and direct that the teachevs in the schools impress upon the children the dangers attendant upon the careless use of streets and public thoroughfares. 1 urge every citizen to dn some act during the week designated to improve conditions to per- fect his knowledge of legal requirements enacted in the interests of safety and to do his best to assist others to do the same, thereby helping Connecticut to conserve the lives and the property of its citizens. One life saved is worth any effort.” Plans For Cities The motor vehicle, highway and edu- cation departments of the state have completed extensive preparations for co- operating with police and school auth- orities of all cities of the state in an intensive effort next week to check the increase of accidents in Connecticut. An_accident prevention film prepared for the motor vehicle department by Guy Hedlund of Hadlyme, producer of Connecticut war films, will be publicly shown in the outdoors in various parts cf the state, according to the following schedul Monday—Winsted.

An- Torrington, A CHALLENGE TO NORWICH FROM CONNECTICUT COLLEGE “The founding New of Connecticut colleze at London was a_challenze to the statement recently made at a conference of a small group of people who had come to realize teir responsibility in meeting this challenge. It may be considered too, that it is a challenge to the whole state and to all states, for now Connectient College has students regietered from 17 states, as well as one foreizn student. It is an es- pecial challenge to those towns in the vicinity of the colleze. New London ha already more than responded to the pres- ent urgent needs—for it mot only has practically built the college, the largest citizens of the state of Connecticut.” This | gifts coming from New London and the borough of Groton, but 1t has also boost. ed every project for furthering the col- lege. All summer this clty of New Lon- don has been teaing. bridgin theatre-going, and otherwise proving that it appreciates the necessity of an insti- tution for the higher education of wo- men. Therefore. by the process of elimina- tion, it seems to be time, sald a_friemd of the colleze Friday night, for Norwich to do its bit in knowing and making known Connecticut college. Surely th! town is indebted to the college for its in- vitations to its weekly convocations at which rare and noted speakers came, for its annual musical comedy and oth- er smaller entertainments, bnought Norwich audiences. But most of all i indebted for what she Is doing to help the voung women of Norwich. Statis- ties record the startling fact that in sev- en short years with only three gradu- ating classes, Norwich has fourteen graduates, thirteen undergraduates and five new students to enter this Sept. 19th, Moreover Connecticut College boasts of ione trustee and four faculty members from Norwich. From now on opportunity will be given Norwich peop'e to manifest their interesy in Connecticut college by sup- porting a number of lectures, musicales, small plays and other events during the fall and winter in thnis city. to BEGINS AS MATRON AT THE SHELTERING ARMS Mra. Bessic Beckwith, newly appoint- ed matron at the Sheltering Arms, com- menced her services as the head of that institution Thursday, September 15th.
