 The absence of Irwin Wolcott's name from the above list indicates ' that the case against him has been dis posed of, notwithstanding that during the trial in which he was the chief wit ness, he testified that he had not been promised any reward of any kind or even immunity from prosecution. It is now apparent that there was an un- derstanding of some kind existing be- tween the state officials and Wolcott for the part he was to play in that case, Wolcott left town the day following that trial and has not been seen here since. The cases against the boys has also undergone a change. It seems they are now charged with simple assault and that the charge of assault with attempt to kill has been nolled. Another change has been instituted against them, nIrvf,a A were present ready for trial it appears. byt MT O'Neil, their guardian pro tenn, asked that the case be adjonrned as, he was not ready to try them. There was quite consultation at the judges bench and finally the judge said that he did not think the cases ought to be pressed at this term and he advised their going over to the next term, which will be held in October
 The case before the jury to-day was that of James Sullivan of Naugatuck who is charged with theft of a bay mare worth $200 from James S. Lewis. Sullivan insisted he was not guilty. He was defended by Attorney Ken nedv
 The evidence was to the effect that Sullivan met a young fellow named Mccarthy driving the horse and they determined to take it to Middlebury and get $100 for it, but they, reconsid- cred and decided on driving to New York, it was such fine horse The jury was out about an hour and re- turned verdict of guilty. The sen- tence of the court was one year in jail
 The case against the colored man, Lewis Carter, charged with rape, was then taken up. Carter Is defended by Judge Lowe. The case was in pro- gress at press hour.
