DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS DANIELSON In defanit of bonds, John MeManus was taken to Brooklyn jail by State Of- ficer A. W. Williams, Wednesday fore- noon, after Judge W. Fenner Woodward had eentenced McManus a year in jail on two charges alleging theft from John Stone, father-in-law of the accused. McManus has appealed from the sen- tence. The prisoner is the young man who was brought to Danfelson from New Haven on Monday by Officer Williams. ‘Ihis was McManus' sighteenth arrest. He has a record of having served four years in a state prison. He was found €uilty of having stolen goods of the value of $70 from Mr. Stone. With white ribbons pinned upon them, figuratively speaking. two big motor trucks that had been at the state police barracks of North Main street since being seized with their cargoes of beer at Jewett City Monday afternoon, hauled out for New York Wednesday morning with the drivers—Charles Taylor and Thomas Walth back of the steering wheels, a never-again look on the face of each. The 300 cases of beer that the trucks wers carrying when seized are safely stored away in the state police barracks, thers to remain until such time as the court orders their destruction. Reiease of the trucks came as a sur- prise to many laymen, but an attorney pointed out that the statutes of the state of Connecticut, under which the state police are operating, do mot pro- vide for the confiscation of vehicles en- gaged in the transportation of intoxi- rants in this state. The confiscation pro- virlon fs & feature of the beloved Vol- wtead act—the federal enforcement act. Barnett C. Hart, bound over to the waperior court on a charge of having attempted to bribe state Dolice officers here In comnection with the setzure of the beer-laden trucks, spent the greater part of Wednesday in custody here, awalting the adjustment of Mis bond. The Interested surety company would not lssus the $5,000 bond until §t had been secured and thers apparently w. unexpacted delay on the part of Hart thits o making e Recssmry ar.| rangements in New York.

A press despatch Wednesday told | of his having concluded negotiations for the purchass of the Shreveport, La. team of the Texas league.

The truck was not seized because of the natyre of the business it is engaged in, but beczuse it was improperly equipped as to headlights.

McKenna vs W. John W. Whip- ple, et al, tried in the superior court at Willimantic last fall where judg- mnet was given for the defendants. The case grew out of the arrest' of McKenna, who is a physician in Provi- dence, by Sergeant George Leard of the Putnam police. The other defendant in the case was Allan Averill, of Pomfret, who testified against McKenna in the Putnam city court. An automobile driven by McKenna col- lided with a car driven by Whippls on the Pomfret road. Following tne ac- cident McKenna was arrested on a charge of driving an atomobils whiie under the influence of liguor. He was given a hearing In the city court the next morning. Whipple, Leard ard Averill appeared as witnesses. McKen- na_was found not gullty. Within a week McKenna, by his at- torney P. J. Danahey of Wiilimantic, brought an actien for false arrest and imprisonment @gainst Whipple, Leard and Averill, claiming $50,000 damages. Whipfle, who is @ promizent lumber manufacturer, was served with a sum- mons an .dattachment, anl summonses were also served on the Putnam yolicce officer and on Averill, who is a coal deal- er in Pomfret. An array of witnesses appeared in the superior court in behalf of the defend- ants and the court found n their favor, From this decision the plalatiff appeai- ed. A civil action for damages to the car of Whipple is pending in the superi- or awaiting the outcome of the present trial. Judgment in another case tried in the superior court at Putnam .aas also been overruled. William N. Sweet of Stering brought an action of divorse against 's wife Grace A. Sweet. The cass was contested and Judge Marvin granted the petition and from tiis judgment the defendant appealed to the supreme court. The supreme court has fouad error and orders that judgment be cnterel for the defendant.

In the annual report of this division appears a few of the letters in reply to questionnaires sent out forSthe purpose of getting Information relative to the manner in which a wood duck contrives to get her chicks into the water from her nest in a hollow stub on the pond of riverbank, 30 feet high. The following letter from Dr. George H. Jen- nings is printed: Dr. George H. Jennings of Jewett City, Conn, says regarding the wood duck: One day, more than 20 Years ago, while standing close by a small pond there was a splash of water about 15 feet trom the shore, and I saw a young duck on the pond. I guessed what had hap- pened and looked In time to the about five feet above the surfacs of the pond. One more was added to the num- ber. I think she saw me, and no more were brought. After waiting a short time T drove on. In a preliminary report on some under- water activities of certain waterfowl, the following letter f printed: Everett H. Hiscox, Jewett City. Conn., writes that he was in a boat with two other hunters on Aadpole pond, near that town, when one of them shot a black duck which dived and failed to come up. They paddied to the spot. The duck could be plainly seen clingifig to the bot- tom In three feet of water. He disen- gaged it with an ear. and it floated to the surface dead, with the lily styms still in, its mouth. Another letter of Tlocal Interest s among the other notes to corroborate the belief that a duck, if wounded, rather than be taken by the hunter, dives and voluntarily drowne, T can give you one specific instance of this in October, 1918, T was hunting in a lagoon. T shot a duck and it fell in an isolated bunch of rushes. I did not go to get it at once. but waited perhaps 10 minutes. When T went to get the bird it was not in sight. Upon search ‘I found it below water grasping the base of a rush with both feet. Its body was in an upright position with its head steetched up. but its bill was several inches under | water. When T dislodged it, it came to the top of the water.
