, The trial by the superior court Of Rob-
ert Kratch of Tolland for cutting down
trees and other depredations on the Green
place In Tolland was finished last Friday
morning and was given to the jury, which
failed to agree on a verdict, and was die
charged. The jury stood eight for con-
viction and four for acquittal on the first
ballot, and on the last ballot, nine for
conviction and three for acquittal. State
Attorney Reed was assisted In trying the
case by Lawyer J. e. Fisk of Rockville.
Attorneys for the defendant were w. A.
King of Willimantic and T. E. Moore OF
Rockville.
Friday afternoon the case was tried of
Isaac Turner vs.. Charles E. White In
scire facais. Turner recently sued Timo-
thy P. Corey for 800 and garnisheed
that amount owed him by White, who, 1t
Is alleged, admitted owing the money and
then denied 1t, hence the suit. The case
was first tried before Justice of the Peace
Kingsbury of Coventry. After the evil
dence was all In the lawyers decided to
submit briefs instead of arguing the case.
The April term came to close Tuesday
with the tlial of the case of Alexander
McKinstry US. Angelina Holton and Mel
lie Watkins, all of Ellington. The action
was brought to foreclose two mortgages.
The first, for 5000, was given by Mrs.
Angelina E. Holton to her daughter, Mary
Marshall, In 1885, which she recently as.
signed to Mr.. McKinstry. Four years
later Mrs. Holton gave mortgage for
81, 100 to Miss Moore of Somels. This
was also also assigned to Mr.. McKinstry.
| It was agreed between counsel that the
/ sum of OIL 800 was due I'D mortgages. the
only question in dispute being on the in
terest of the $500 mortgage, on which it
was claimed by the defendants that a
special agreement had been entered into
by Mrs. Holton and her daughter, where
by In lieu of paying interest she was to
have the occupancy of part of the proper
ty Mrs. Holton had transferred the
equity in the property to Mrs. Nellie
Watkins, another daughter, who now
holds it. The court found that no special
agreement about the interest had been
made, but found that the occupancy was
In lieu of interest. The court ordered
that Mrs. Mary Marshall should pay So q
month rent for the property since last
September, upon which date the mortgage
came into the possession of Mr.. McKins-
try. Judgment was granted for 81, $50,
and June named as the limit for redemp-
ton.

A BROKEN CABLE.
Gull Island Connection Broken Some
Time Ago.

Gull Island Connection Broken Some
Time Ago.
New London, Dec. 25.-Sergeant
Thomas J. Akers, United States Signal
corps, will begin the work of repairing
the cable between this city and Gull
Island tomorrow. 1t is not definitely
known where the break in the cable Is.
but it is thought to be opposite the New
London light at the harbors mouth. 1t
will require some time, unless the break
in the cable is found fortunately in the
place where it is supposed to be, to To-
cate it, Then it will take considerable
time to splice the cable.
The officials at the forts and in this
city think the cable was broken during
the storm of several weeks ago. Then
it was reported that barge fouled her
anchor and in freeing 1t again expert
enced considerable trouble. The cable
lies in the vicinity of the anchorage of
the barge and it is supposed that the
anchor caught it and the cable was
broken in the attempt of the barge crew
to free the anchor.
Sergeant Akers will be assisted in the
work of repairing the cable by f. c.
Eckert, an expert electrician of New
York.
