Litchfield enquirer., 1877-07-19

last: think that this one witness will be sufficient to convince each and every one of your readers that the proceeding at the Sherman House on the night of July 3d, was in every particular 8 most shameful affair. As before stated, Mir. Calvin has said that he twas the ringlead- CT of the band" Mir, G. should be ashamed of his conduct, but on the con- trary he glories in it. Mr. Curtis's testi- mony lasted until one o'clock, at which time the court adjourned until after din- ner. At the commencement of the after. noon session. Rev. M. Eddy from New York, and several other gentlemen who are boarding at the Sherman House, gave ln testimony similar to tlfat of Mr. Cur tiss. They were all very indignant and many of them expressed fully what they thought of tue proceeding. A number have left MT. Sherman's house and gone elsewhere for board.
 will not take up any more space in the i report of the trlals which lasted until o'clock. The justice found all the pris- oness guilty and imposed the following fines upon the several parties concerned Edmund Calvin, $5: Samuel Kinney, $5 Walter Kinney, s; John Connor, $7 Henry Katon pleaded guilty and was fined $1. Connor is boy and was doubtless led into the scrape by tine older prisoners The sentences also included costs of from $8 to BIO in each case. Calvin and the Klnneys appealed to the Superior court and were required to give bonds in $50 on the appeal. MT. Charles E. Beeman gave bonds for Calvin, and the Rev. Mir Upson and Walter D. Sperry for the Kin neys.
 The writer of this article has taken the utmost caution in the preparation of hii report. Much more might be said, and have not given by any means all the pro fanlty, and none of the obscenity, proved on this trial. This Fourth of July perfor nance should be warning to those firing cannon not to place them so near peoples houses as to occasion them serious annoy ance to their inmates. 1t shonld also b. 8 warning to those who assume the lead ership of such enterprises that they mus answer for the conduct of their follower | where their fun turns into riot, and WI hope MT. Calvin has had such lesson al will turn him permanently from the evil ways he was found travelling on the nigh before the Fourth.
