Judge Bishop Decides That He Was

Judge Bishop Decides That He Was
Innocent OF Theft of Bicycles
Yesterday forenoon in the city court
| Judge Bishop rendered a decision in
| the case of Nathan r. Gorham, the ex-
Yale law student charged with theft of
several bicycles from Yale students.
The trial of the case lasted through sew
eral days and about fifty witnesses were
examined Attorney Il. p. Arvine and
Eariss p. Arvne, jr, conducted the
defense for GOrham, whom Judge Bish-
op in his decision yesterday discharged.
The thefts of several bicycles and a
bicycle lamp were alleged to have been
committed between March 20 and June
A. 1900, 1t was proved that the wheels
We're stolen by some one and that they
were afterwards sold by Gorham. The
question left for the court to consider
was, therefore, whether or not the ac-
cused committed the thefts. Attorneys
Arvine for the defense went carefully
into the case, and it is due to their able
handling of the case that the accused
was discharged.
A large delegation Of prominent citi-
zens of Homden,, instructors under
whom Graham has studied and law
school students who know him init
mately testified as to his good charac-
ter. Judge Bishop submitted a written
opinion, the conclusion of which is as
follows:
THE accused In this case has at
least been guilty Of acts of indiscretion,
for according to his own testimony he
has purchased the stolen articles from
a person who was a stranger to him
without investigating the story of
said stranger to see whether 1t was
true or not, and, for SO doing, finds
himself in his present trying position.
But acts of indiscretion, especially
where felony Is charged are not
necessarily proofs Of guilt. In the alb
sence of affirmative evidence showing
knowledge that the property was stol-
en-, and in view of the fact that the
young man has hitherto borne good
character, as testified by various wit
nesses, and that not witness appear
ed to testify to any criminal or dis
honest acts on his part, or that his
character has not been good, the court
feels obliged to take the position that
the state has failed to prove that the
accused had knowledge at the time the
wheels were purchased that the same
We're stolen. 1t also decides this cues
ton In his favor and directs his dis
charge

FEATURES or THE CONTENTION
Fire Insurance Agents Mr.. John @.
North, of THIS City, Interviewed.

Probably one Of the most important
gatherings of insurance men ever held
in this country was the recent meeting
of the National Association of Local
Fire Agents at Milwaukee Nearly a
thousand fire insurance agents, repre-
s5nting nearly forty organized states
and territories, We're In attendance at
the three days session, August 30, 81
and September l. The New England
states sent delegation Of about thirty
six of whom were from Connecticut,
representing New Haven, Hartford,
Bridgeport, and Waterbury. The object
Of the meeting was to consider several
questions of vital importance to local
fire insurance agents. Last year the
question of the overhead writing by
companies was considered and reform
in this matter was successfully carried
through by the cooperation of the COM
panias
This year more difficult problems were
considered, among them being that Of
nonresident brokers, who, as the asso-
citation feels, have been and are prey
upon the business of the local agent
and sourse Of added expense to the
companies and in the end a drain upon
the public, The indiscreet multiplied
ton of agents by companies was also
a question which received careful at
tention. and 1t is hoped a solution Of
the problem was suggested The hap
hazard methods of rating, pursued in
many localities, was denounced and
more scientific and uniform method pro-
vided for, so that each hazard and To-
cality may be rated more In accordance
with the experience of the companies
for each classification or locality. Able
and representative agents from every
part of the country were present to
discuss these and other similar topics.
AS a result many reforms must be in
soon. which will improve the
general tone of the business and put
the local agent where he formerly was,
a true representative of his company,
and save the public from many Of the
abuses and expenses which have lately
grown into the insurance agency bust
ness and which Is the cause OF much
hostile legislation In some states

MANY LAWYERS IN THE BRAN
FORD COURT.

In Judge zacher's court in Banford
Thursday afternoon two exciting cases
were tried. The cases were for breach
Of the peace against two Poles, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lanitsky OF Branford. The
trouble occurred last Saturday and on
Monday evening" Mr.. Lanitsky threat
ened to have Mrs Davis, another Pc
lish woman, arrested, but before he
could reach the office of Prosecutor
Beach Mrs. Davis had made complaint
and the Lanitskys Were arrested.
The star witness for the state was
Mrs. Rawlings also a Pole, who lives
across the street from the Lanitskys
and Mrs. Davis on West Main street.
She testified that Mr.. Lanltsky had said
to her in q voice loud enough for Mrs.
Davis to hear that Mrs. Davis belonged
to a class noted for making trouble.
The case against the husband was
partly tried on Wednesday and wat CON
tinued until Thursday at 5 p. m, when
both cases came up for hearing. The
compliments employed Attorney Slade
of this city to assist the prosecuting at
torney in the conduct of the case. The
defendants first tried Attorney Jacobs
and also secured the services of Attor-
ney Lynch of Lynch & Thomas to look
after their interests.
When Judge Zacher assembled the
bench he was met by this array of legal
talent.
The testimony consisted Of contradic-
tory statements on the part of the Wit
nesses and was very hard to follow, as
the testimony had to come through in
terpreters.
After about three hours session
Judge Zacher delivered lecture to ell
the parties concerned as to their fur-
nishing the court with petty business eff
this sort. He discharged Lauitsky and
said thaat he felt under the circum-
stances he was In duty bound to impose
a fine of 81 and costs upon the husband
in the hope that 1t would deter others
from INDUCING In a similar occurrence.
There was a large audience mostly Of
the Russian and Polish contingent CT

walking up to the spot he found side
by side, so close that their feathers
touched his errant hen and a quail,
both sitting peacefully on the nest, the
quail having under her fourteen eggs
and the hen seven. The quail crouched
so low and so closely to the larger hen.
that it was not until Mr.. Nichols was
almost directly over her that he dis
covered the bird.
The two were apparently on the best
of terms and apparently much interest
ed in each other. AS the quail will
have finished her labors about a week
before the hen, supposing that they
commenced at the same time, the fam
lilies will scarcely have much of an OPP
portunity to get well acquainted as the
young quail will probably be able to
shift for themselves in a great meas
ure, before the young chickens are
Matched. The two birds made a pretty
sight and Mr.. Nichols is careful to keep
them from being disturbed.-Ansonia

The general sentiment of the conven-
ton advocated the education of the
public concerning the methods and
practices of the business. as lack of in
formation along these lines has and
must lead to much misunderstanding
and has thus brought about hostility,
where, with an intelligent knowledge Of
these matters, perfect harmony would
have prevailed. The visiting delegates
were handsomely entertained by the
Milwaukee Underwriters, and many
firm and lasting friendships formed.
The place OF the next convention in 1901
was not fully decided upon. The Off
GERS elected were:
President-George D. Markham Of st.
Louis.
First vice president-Thomas H. Geer
Of Cleveland.
Second vice president-John G. North
of New Haven.
Secretary and treasurer Frank H.
Holmes of Chicago.
