P. Waldo Marvin of Hartford ptesiding. The Norwich Savings Society was the plaintiff _and after hearing the tes mony, Judgé Marvin granted foreclos- ure by sale in the sum of $186,421.87. The property is to be sold on Dec. 4. Gilbert S. Raymona was appointed committee on sale with William P. Bar- stow of South Windham, Frank W. Browning of Kitemaug and Richard Da- vidson of New London as_appraisers. The bank was represented by Attor- neys John P. Huntington and Hibberd R. Norman. Other attorneys represent- ing. creditors were Judge Alfred Coit of New London, who had a claim for $20,000, Arthur M. Brown. who repre- sented the Cleveland Trust Co., which a mortgage for $516,000, C. B. Whittlesey and Arthur T. Keefe. Charles R. Butts, a o i 1t s . assistant _treasurer of the Norwich Savings Society, gave testimony as to the mortgage, which was originally for $200,000, but some- thing has been paid o it and the claim is now the amount for which the fore- closure was granted by the court. Following the conclusion -of the Iron-| sides Board Co. case, the court heardj the testimony in the suit of Edward D., Murray of New London against the Crocker Hotel Corporation ot that city on a bill for about $800 for-repapering and refinishing from 50 to 53 rooms at the hotel during the early \summer of 1920. Mr. Murray testified to the amount of work done and to the way Bryan F. Mahan declined to pay the bill that was presented. Some of the dispute between the parties seems to be over extra work that was dome on threa rooms, whieh had not been included in the original contract, d e T h 5 THAMESVILLE PAPER MILL GRANTED Mr. Murray gave lengthy testimony in the case in answer to questions by his -attorney, Frank L. McGuire, and was cross examined by Attorney Ar- thur T. Keefe, counsel for the defend- ants.. Books of accounts and bills and memoranda were laid in as exhibits. The plaintiff rested with the testi- mony of Mr. Murray. Attorney Keefe called to the stand Samuel S. Real of New York as the first witness for the defendant. Mr. Real was manager of the Crocker house from May 1920,to March 1921 and is now manager of a New York hotel of the Knott company which also conducts the Crocker house how. He testificd to a convbrsation with Murray in front of the post office in August when Murray told him Mr. Ma- han refused to pay for the extra work. Mr. Real testified on other points on what he knew about the renovations to the rooms in the hotel. When his tes- timony was concluded, Attorney Keefe had one more witness whom he wanted to presenf, a Mr. Harris, former man- ager of the Crocker house, but he was not in coust as he was in amother court case in Derby. After the attorney explained the sit- uation to the court and the attorney and the court had discussed a conven- jent date to continue the case, Judge Marvin continued it to Friday, Nov. at_the conclusion of the short calendar. The first case on the assignment list for Thursday was Joseph J. Fields vs Laura A. Willilams. excr., appeal from probate, but this was continued be- cause of the iliness of Attormey J. J. Desmond. Another case on the court list was that of Willard J. Way vs. Henry X% len & Son Co. This was settled out of court. It was a claim for $1,100 for the care of a horse. The attorneys were Andrew B, Davies and Edmund 'W. Perkins, a| HADASSAH CONCEET AND BALL AT WAUREGAN HOUSE The concert and ball held Wauregan hotel Thursday evening under the auspices of the Norwich Hadassah was one of the most successful events of the season and the organization was able to raise in this manner a goodly sum for the use of the medical unit in Pales- tine. Over 500 prominent citizens of Norwich and many from out of town were among those present. The programme opened with a group of three selections by the Melody Land Trio which were appreciated by all pres- ent. The second number on the program was a solo—A Perfect Day, C. Jacobs- Bond, rendered by Miss Cipa Rosenbers. Miss Rosenberg’s interpretation of this number brought forth much applause and upon the completion of her selection she was presented on bejalf of the organi- zation, a beautiful bouquet of carnations, by Mrs. Samuel Tayler, who was in charge of the affair. Another attraction on the program was a group of violin solos by Prof. Christo- pher who met instant favor by his exe- cution of Andante from the (Concerto(, DeBeriot. Henry LaFontaine, the pop- ular local musician, followed with sever- al selection and was forced to respond with several encores. The program came to a close with & group of cello selections by Rafael De- Gruttola which were greatly enjoyed, and two selections by the Melody Land Trio. At the completion of the entertainment of the evening there was a brief inter- mission after which dancing was enjoyed until midnight. The success of the of the affair, which is the largest under- taken since the organization of the Norwich Chapter Hadassah, was greatly due to the efforts of Mrs. Samuel Taylor, chairman of the committee; and the fol- lowing members, Mrs. J. H. Rosenberg, Mrs. M. J. Levine, Mrs. Alexandér Pas- nik, Mrs, Joseph Lahn, Mrs. Frank Hertz, and (Miss Anna Sadinski.

It is expected that the hearing will be a lengthy one angd that considerable op- position will develop from residents ot the section which is served by the trqj; ley "line now. NORWICH THIEF MAY HAVE " WORKED IN PEOVIDENCE It is thought that the man who gave the name of Lee and stole $2§0, three rings and a watch Wednesday morning at the home of Mrs. Ewald R. Von Hor- nig of 423 Washington street, may have worked the same game in Providence. When Police Chief George Lintom no- tified the Providence poiice Wednesday of the theft here, they told him they were looking for a man who ered the description of the Norwich thief and that he was wanted for theft that was worked very much along the lines of the Norwich theft. PUNERALS. Ralph W. Miner. At 11 o'clock Thursday morning at the parlors of Church & Allen, funeral ser- vices for Ralph W. Miner were held, a large number of relatives and friends at- tending.

Price, Jobn Irish, James McKec and George Crocker. Mr. Miner died November Gth after an illness of only two days with pmeumonia at his home, No. 5 Hill street. On the Saturday previous he complained of feel- ing unwell and became worse on Sunday. He was conecious.until the end . and talked of his service during the Civil war. Mr. Miner was born in Hebron, March 7, 1848, the son of Joseph H. and Adeline Wilson Miner and at the age of 14 years and § months, or on August 15, 1862, he enrolied in the service of the Union army, being the youngest soldier in the ranks from the state of Conneciteut. He was mustered into the service as a private in Company H, 31st Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, on Sep- tember 5, 1862 and soon afterwards took part in battles in the south. In one of the many battles he was shot in the calf of the leg and wore the scar until his death. On June 16, 1365, he was dis- charged from the service of his country, Teceiving an honorable discharge. For some time after leaving the the army he engaged in the livery business in Deep River, and became a member of the G. A, R. post of Westbrook when it was organized. About 45 years ago he came to Norwich, but never became 2 member of the local post of the G. A. R. His wound often troubled him and en two occasions he went to the Fitch Home for Soldiers at Noroton Heights and received treatment. Of recent years he had engaged in business as a painter and carpenter. On May 19, 1887, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary G. Wheeler at Montville, the ceremony being. performed by Rev. Daniel D. Lyons. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs, Thomas Ryan of Norwich, and Mrs. Raymond Stannard of Deep River; six grandohil- dren, John Francis, Mildred Gertrude, and Raymond Thompson Ryan of Nor- wich; Veronica Tucker, Donald and Theodore Stannard of Deep River: onme sister, Mrs. Annie C. Rand of Middle- town; and three nephews, Charles Miner of Manehester ; Louts Miner of Fitchville, and George Miner of Norwich. The death of Mr. Miner loaves his sis- ter, Mrs. Rand of Middletown, the last izations to bring_ the parade up to the usual standard. Last year the two local Dational guard companies and the New London companies with the 192nd Ar- tillery band appeared in the lineup, but this year it was found impossible to se- cure “the national guard companies for the local celebration as they, with the other units of the 192nd Artillery Reg- iment are to také part in the Armistice Day celebration and unveiling of a mem- orial tablet at'Sonth Norwalk.

Lester,” fic- tion writer, of his weakness for forgery, was recommended today by Dr. Ernest M. Vaughan, medical, attache of the staft of District Attorney Ruston, of: King's county. Ten years ago “Lester,” who claims to be a member of a well known Virginia family, fell from a horse, suffering a fracture of the skull. Later he came to New York where he found success as a short story writer. s Then he ‘obeyed an ‘unconfrollable im- pulse to forge checks, and twice was sent to prison. Last week he was con- victed a third time of pasing a worth- les check, and was sent to Blackwell's Island. There Dr. Vaughan examined him and expressed belief the criminal tendency was due to pressure on the brain. ) Today “Lester” said he was ready to undergo the operation, even though it might mean death.
