A Queer Case Before Judge Werts This
Morning.

A Queer Case Before Judge Werts This
Morning.
Lawyer Kenny today brought to the
notice OF the Court, that to say the least,
curious case against Lawyer Bowen.
Mr.. kenny applied to Judge Werts at
Chancery Chamb bers to day for an order
to reopen the Judgment obtained by
Bowen against John p. McCloskey,
Some time ago McCloskey was presented
with a bill from Frank McCullogh for
about 5000 for drinks and other articles
McCloskey. The latter employed
Lawyer Bowen, it is claimed. to ascer-
tain how much his ,one-third, interest in
the estate of his mother would
amount to. Bowen said he
performed this work and then,
to secure Mccullough, McClosky
gave him confession of judgment. He
paid Bowen for his services by giving him
also a confession of judgment.
The lawyer placed tue two judgments
on record and subsequently, advertised
the interest of McCloskey in his mothers
estate for sale. 1t was to prevent this
sale that Lawyer Kenny today
asked to have the Judgment opened for
the purpose of taking testimony. He
said he would prove that the confession
of judgments were obtained while Nc
Closkey was under the influence of
drink.
Lawyer DENIM opposed the motion on
behalf of Bowen, but the Court granted
the order and appointed George w. Cas-
sedy referee to take the evidence.

When the New England went into the hands of a receiver several years ago, our company received these bonds in payment for traffic balance due us. Recently some one wrote on from Boston to ascertain if these bonds could be purchased. There are prob ably from $200 0,000 to $500, ,000 worth of these bonds held in this state. They have been quoted at about no. These bonds may be sold and they may not"

KELLY ON THE RAMPAGE.

i He Assaults a Keeper at the Jail and
 Gets Clubbed.
 William Kelly, well known citizen of Waterbury, was released from jail Saturday night after serving 142 days imprisonment for drunkenness and re- sistance to an officer. It was only owing to the good nature Of the jail officials that he was not arrested again. On going out he was abusive and attempted an assault on Turnkey Hotchkiss. Hotchkiss in defense struck Kelly over the head with his club, making a cut about an inch long. The officials at the jail consider Kelly a pretty tough case. Jailor O'Keefe said he had been there about sixteen times now altogether and that he has always caused more or less trouble. He said he was sorry he did not have Kelly rearrested for the breach of the peace.
 The circumstances leading up to the alleged assault, as told by Kelly, are as follows: John R. Kelly of New Britain painter and brother of the prisoner has sent him off and on during his i'm
 prisonment small sums of money. A remittance of $1. 50 in a registered letter awaited Kelly's deliverance yesterday.
 Following the custom at the jail Kelly's correspondence was opened by the jail officials, including the registered | leCLer, as Well as bnaL or OCner prisoners | When Kelly was informed that hi
 time was up Saturday, the letter, whicl contained a $1 bill and 50 cent piece
 was handed to him. Kelly handed back the 50 cent piece, the turkeys fee
 to Turnkey Hart, and left the lette containing the $1 bill on ledge near by Turnkey Hotchkiss came out am
 stepped over to take the letter. Kell, says that he himself made a grab fo the letter at the ssame time and tha Turnkey Hotchkiss thrust out his foo , and tried to trip him up. A scuffle fol
 lowed, and Hotchkiss, drawing his clut dealt Kelly heavy blow on the lei | side of the head in the rear of the ten ! pie.
 The jail officials say that the provocs ? tion was wholly On the part of Kelly ; An envelope in which money had com
