shocking story Told In the Polio ( COurt
 This Morning.
 Some three weeks ago Mrs John Casey, who lives on Mill street, opposite the American mills, had her husband arrested for abusing her. It came out at the trial that Casey was q hard-worSing man and that his wife was a absolute woman. The cause of the abuse was her too intimate association with an Italian small Vond-r who lives on Bridge street near Dublin street. In fact Judge Root told the woman on the witness stand that her breath smelled very strong then and he believed the mans story and discharged him. Since that time the police have been watching the womau and this Italian, James Nardo, pretty closely. Yesterday afternoon Mrs Casey went tn tn" house ot the Ithln,, and one rf the tenants. John RurkA. went after an officer Officer Moore responded and found the door locked Eurk" kept watch whlle Officer Moore went after Officer Cahey. They tried every means of getting in. but without avail. The doors and windows were locked and the curtains down Finally in answer to the knocks of the officers, about o'clock Sardo opened the door. The woman stood with him at the entrance and was very drunk. Her clothes were also in disorder InSlue SQmClent 6NlQenCe was ulSCONtTeu to place charge of lasciviors carriage against both The woman used the foulest language on the way to the station. This was the testimony given this morning re- lative to last night. Officers Moore, Cahey and Byrnes also testified that they had chased Nsrdo ava: from the womhn's house at all hours of the night. The hus- band, they said. was hard working man and worked until 3 o'clock. There We're four children in the family. the youngest eighteen months old The husband sAld he was glad his wife was arrested AS his children would now receive proper care. Both of the accused said that the woman went to the Italians house to get n ring which she claimed she sold to Nardo for s and it WAS her sisters wedding ring It was shown in court and Was a cheap cent nickel plated affair The story was so tiImsy and the woman lied so strongly when she said that the door was not locked and the lights were not out that Judge Root did not hesitate to sentence both. The woman got thirty days for drunken ness and g and costs for lascivious car riage and the mau $7 and costs and thirty days in jail.

MORIARTY'S BUILDING.
Selected by the District Committee
 Relieve the CrOSvding of Schools.

Selected by the District Committee to Relieve the CrOSvding of Schools. h , The pelting rain storm of last night did not deter the district committee from hold ing a meeting and arranging for additional school room accommodations. Previous to calling the meeting to order John Mori- arty had talk with the members and ex- explained the conditions under which his East Main street property could be leased.
 When Chairman Wolff called the meeting to order he said it was impossible to crowd any more children into the schools than there are at present. "It was stated in one of the evening papers" said MT Wolff, "thnt the district was going to rent the old Bronson library building. I don't know where that originated. Personally l am not in favor of the library building. The ceilings are low, ventilation poor, no play ground, no janitor, ana then, if We should rent that place, we would be obliged to put in additional heating apparatus if we should use it during the winter. The greatest advantage l see in the rooms of the Waterbury Furniture Go is that the ventilation Is good and there is A spacious play ground"
 NIT McDonald: T think the district ought to be able to furnish sufficient school room accommodation for all the children with out going outside for it"
 Mir Wolff: We all believe that, but what can We do? The children seem to be coming faster than we can find school room for them and We see no way out of it but provide temporary quarters"
 Mir Goodrich: Il think the library build ing can be fitted up much cheaper than the other and of the two I should prefer it. You will have to put down a fence on East Main street"
 Chairman Wolff said the building of the fence would cost but trifling sum and that something of the same kind would have to be done if the library building should be selected. Mir Wolff laid great stress on the value of the playground. Mr Begnal also favored the East Main street property and the matter being put to vote it was carried. Mir Goodrich only voting against it. The rent will be at the rate of $l 800 year as long as the district wants to use the place. Chairman Wolff and Mir Goodrich were appointed as committee to see that the necessary chan es are attended to at once and au effort will be made to fit the placs for school pur- poses in time for the opening of the spring term.
 Chairman Wolff was instructed to at tend to the sanitary condition of the closets at the Porter street school and after talk on some proposed improvements in the sewerage at the South Elm street school the members appended thedr autographs to the rate bill and started for home.
 Architect Smith is making measure monts of the rooms to day and in order to give the whole place to the children Mir Moriarty is removing his casket room onto the first floor.

LAWRENCE ESTATE.
A Complicated Suit Brought by the NeAAtOwn Savings Bank-Claim That Mortgage Was Not Recorded.


 NeAAtOvvn Savings Bank-CIaim That
 Mortgage Was Not Recorded. Deputy Sheriff Brocket of New Haven, yesterday made a trip to this city and in the interests of the Newtown Savings who is trustee of the insolvent estate of Gordon B. Lawrence.
 The plaintiff alleges that on April II. 1892, Lawrence gave mortgage note to the savings bank for S3,O00, the property being located at the corner of Bank and James streets. It is further alleged that the mortgage was sent to the the town clerk of Waterbury to be recorded but it was never entered, the claim being made that it had been lost.
 Since the note was given, Lawrence made an assignment and the property was recently sold to Thomas Kelly, who held another mortgage on the property. The latter is included as a defendant in the case. ,s
 The plaintiff asks for an injunction to restrain c. H. Hart from disposing of any more of Lawrence's property and also petitions that the court order the amount of the mortgage note given to Lawrence made good. The case Is returnabla to the May term of the superior court.
 c. H. Hart was seen in reference to the matter to-day and said that he received notice that the Newtowp Swings b bAnk held mortgage for s, 900. The bank could not find the mortgage. however. but claimed they sent it to Gordon B. Lawrence. The mortgage was not recorded in the town clerks office here.
 Inquiry at the town clerks office and from ex-Town Clerk McMahon discloses the fact that all this occurred during Town Clerk Madden's term That the mortgage was never filed for record is thought to be the more likely story. In looking over the records it was discovered that many mortgages with which Gordon B. Lawrence was connected were never recorded until Judge Cowell filed them months after the investments themselves were dated.
 As it stands now Thomas Kelly is se- cured and the only question will be the settlement of the fact that there was a 8, 900 mortgage and its allowance.
