BUILDING VENTURE RESULTS IN FINANCIAL RUIN Frpm thififty and industrial Italian citizens, Giosue Duca and his brother-in. law, Augusaino Di Noto, recently of New London, are today practically penniless and have left New Londen through an avowed fear that their fellow country- men will do them bodily harm. People acquainted with the two men rated the; a few years agu as worth $75,000, which, it was believed. they both could raise in ready cash. They were in the contracting and building business and through vears of hard work and saving they had managed to become possessed of considerable wealth. ‘When there was a dearth of homes in New London during war times and when rents were s@aring they undertook to provide the city with a modern apart- ment building in a hgh class residential section of the town. It proved their un- doing financially. High costs prevailed when the job was started and work was int'rrupted on numérous occasions until the owners could raise no more money to carry through the project. : Thi§ apartment building is said to have cost about $200,000 and mortgages were secured In the total amount of $108000 some time before it was completed. Later efforts were made to secure $30,000 addi- tional. After many delays the building was completed and a few of the apart- ments are rented. Countrymen of the two are among the largest creditors, some of them having loaned them money freely and some of them holding third and fourth mortgages. Duca declared he feared that his country- men would do him bodily harm and he forthwith left recently without letting it be known whither he was going. DI Noto went with him, and it is said that they are in hopes to retrieve their for- tunes by working elsewhere and that they will eventually return to meet their | obligations. ILLNESS RESTORES SPEECH TO CHILD BORN DEAF AND DUMB Several New London physicians were greatly Interested the past week in what was considered a remarkable case in con- nection with the restoration of peech to a child deaf and dumb since birth. This child, whose first name is Walter, but whose last name is withheld by the physicians because of dislike for noto- riety, is a patient at the contagious hos- pital, recovering frpm an attack of carlet fever. It was said by the physician in attend- ance that when convalescence set in the little patient was fieard to make sounds as thougt wishing to talk. The doctor had understood that the child was dumb before his lliness and now he appeared able to talk a little. although not dis- tinctly, and, having been thus afflicted all his life, he had not the krowledge neocessary to correctly use anv language. Investigation, Towever, discloped that the child had been able prior to his sick- ness to make some sounds, but he had been considered more or less deaf and | dumb. The indications are that he will im- prove and may eventually succeed In get- ting his speech. His illness has appar- ently had a beneficial effect upon his ability to speak, although the physicians decline to admit that any miracle has been wrought. NEW OFFICERS FOR NORWICH BELT CO.
