MORE MONEY FOR WARMERS DE-
 TENSE.

His Many Friends Offer Much Of It.
 The St Joseph's T. A. Excursion Spe-
 There is a much different light on the Lake assault case than there was a few days ago. Some of the witness es who were present a week ago Satur- day night are doing some talking and every statement made appears to be in favor of the defendant, Warner Warner has a great many friends here, more than he had any idea of and the recent trouble is showing who they really are.
 Some idea of the friendship can be. formed by the following incident: A few evenings ago Warner was in the rooms of the Hanky Panky club, of which he is a member. and immediate ly he was surrounded by a crowd of friends who threw silver and green backs on the table in heaps with the cry that they were going to see his wrong righted and there was plenty of money to do it with. Over $10O was collected in pile on the table, but Warner refused all offers of money with gratitude.
 Lake is gradually recovering his strength and, it is said. is anxious to testify Although Attorney O'Neill has forbidden his client to make any state l ment, it is pretty generally under stood that Warmers plea is that of self defense. As the latter has said: Ut was either his life or mine." and the knife with the long blade indicates something It is likely that some as- tonishing disclosures will be made.
 Hoffman, Hubbel, Hungerford and Madden, the young men present at the time of the occurrence during which Lake was injured, are all of excellent families and have good regulations. They feel rightly indignant that they should be called toughs or hoodlums. It is understood that Attorney Kennedy 1 of Naugatuck will also be secured by the defense in conjunction with Attor- ney O'Neill.
