SAILOR IS HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT TRIAL John McKeown, a sailor attached to the United States naval base, was given a preliminary hearing and bound over to the next term of the superior court in the New London police court Thursday morning on the charge of wttempted rope. Bond was fixed at $500. Daniel Donohue, who played an important role in the proceedings of the night of May 30 when the alleged assault was attempted, was not charg- ed with any_crime. Attorney Morgan, counsel for Mc- Keown, did not have his client take the stand or offer any defense, stat- ing that the defense would conserve all its evidence until the major trial. Miss Bessie Biller,” of 289 West Thames street, Norwich, opened the case by taking the witness stand ahd telling the story of the night of May 30. She stated that she had gomne to New London at noon with a girl friend Miss Louise Bacon, who works with her in a mill. That evening the two girls went to the beach and to a dance. During th¢ intermission she Eas walking down Bentley Ave., with Donohue, when he attacked her, but she scratched at his face and he ran away when they looked around and saw a sailor standing near by. The sailor attacked her and tried to choke her after Donohue ran away. Miss Biller was unable to identify McKeown as the man who had assail- ed her or as the man who had fol- lowed her, as she said that it was too dark to see him plainly. The girl's cries of “help” and for her mother aroused at least two households in the vicinity. James E. Beran testified that he had listened for about ten minutes to the conver- sation between Donohue and the girld. He stated that he dressed; called out the window for the couple to clear out or he would tell the police and then he came down and found the girl and took her into the house. ‘Waldo E. Clark testified that he had ¥:cen aroused by cries in the still night.. Other testimony revealed that af- ter the girl left the cottage where she had been aided she returned to the beach to meet her girl friends and found ‘Donohue dancing. Fe sat be- hind her on the trolley car coming up m the beach and according to Miss iller he said to the sailors with him: “T'd make a bum out of her if those soldiers were not with her.” A soldier had been dancing with Miss Bacon during the evening and was escorting her home, and Miss Biller was in their company. Miss Biller stated that two days af- ter the attack bruises appeared on her body from the rought treatment she had received. She also revealed under cross-examination that she had been visited at her home by some na- val men from the Base who had sought to learn her story. e e FUNERALS Sylvesto Scioratto The funeral of Sylvesto Scioratto was held at 8.30 o'clock Thursday morning from his home, No. 168 North Main street, with relatives and friends present.

Dr. Adam D'Alessandro, of Philadel- phia, descrfbed a method of treating hiccup in adults which he has employad with success in two cases. The ~eft carotid sheath is grasped by the thumb and forefinger at the anterior border and midway between the origin and the insertion of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The sheath is compressed tight- ly for about ome minute, and in both cases in which the method was tried the hiccup ceased instantly. Recently a col- league tried the treatment cave, and the hiccup ceased at once.— American Medical Association Journal.

The desperate people are eating human beings. diseased horses, dogs and cats, he said. Cematerles are being dug up and long burled dodies snatched as food. In their hunger ‘madness the population are stealing bedles -from morgues and hospitals to eat ag food, Mr. Shafrot, who had charge.of 20000 Russians- working for the American Re- lief administration in the Samara dis- trict ,is lean and emaclated after his arduous work among the starving, dyi; and shelterless Russians.

Letters read into the records in the Senate in- vestigation from Mr. Felder to Leon O. Balley, New York attorney, in 1917 tend to show that Morse did not pay $100,000 he promised upon his release.
