that we sometimes wonder if the public really do discriminate between the true and the false. We think they do in the long run. A mans statements pass current for about what they are worth. In telling of our Womens Bright Dongola Oxfords at S1 25, the statements do not sound very much different from those made by others, unless it be that there is an element of sincerity about what we say that has weight of itself We know what the shoe is and so do hundreds of our patrons who have worn them They look much like others at that price, per haps little more shapely than some, but the real difference is in the wearing qualities that cannot be seen until they are worn.

4 silence almost oppressive has Tor some weeks brooded over the cases brought in the name of John E. Peck against George H. Turner and George Turney of Bridgeport for trespass III fishing Pohtatuck stream without per mission in the enclosed grounds of MT Peck, but the silence was rudely dispelled when, in the criminal side of tho court of common pleas at Bridgeport, the cases were called, Wednesday afternoon. That against Turner was first taken up. The claim of the defense (ex-Judge Lockwood of Bridgeport and Judge Beecher) is that the men were fishing by permission on land owned by l.. B. Booth and Elam Tongue and that they were decoyed upon Mir Peck's land. Much of their testimo- ny was ruled outby Judge R. Jay Walsh, but many exceptions were taken by MT Beecher. The witnesses included John B. Peck, who owned the land, but who did not get out the complaint; E. Mau- rice Botsford, who discovered the men fishing and Lawyer O'Hara, who found them on Mir Peck's land. From conver- stations with MT Botsford and Lawyer O'Hara, it would appear that Turner and Turney were outside the clubs jurisdict- ion when first seen and that they depart ed when, later, they were informed by Lawyer O'Hara that they were trespass- ing. Daniel Camp also testified that the warrant which he signed as grand juror was not obtained by Mir Peck. The ar. guments of Lawyers Chamberlain, Beech CT and Lockwood were heard Wednesday afternoon; Thursday morning, Lockwood finished and Prosecutor Glover was heard. The jury could not agree and were sent out again, with the same re- suit, six to six. The cases may be brought up again in September.
