Of a morning matinee was decided
upon Immediately afterwards. Con.

The audience was OF the usual

girls and men employed on night
work.
) The morning matinee ended at
1:30 p. m. and the house was cleared
for the afternoon matinee, commenc.

IN POLICE COURT
Judge Burpee Suspended Sentence
 in Bootblack Case

In the city court to-day George Herk, q youth who is not more than 16 years of age. was before Judge BuIpee on d serious charge brought by 1G years old Marcella Manton. About one month ago Herk left the city and went to Derby. Recently the girls uncle, James Manton, with whom Marcella is now living on Luke street. got out a warrant for the youths arrest. He was discovered in Shelton and the local detectives notified the police of that town to arrest him. Detective Kennaugh brought him to this city oil Monday. Attorney Thomas Lawlor ap- peared for the accused and asked to have the case continued until to-mor- TOW. As the boy has no relatives and knows few persons in town the court was asked to make the bond a small one. The bond was placed at $20O. The case is to have hearing to-m0r- TOW.
 Edward Flynn. charged with drunk enness. was fined $7 and costs.
 The case of BOliii and Anderson, sa- loon keepers on South Main street. NilH diiONiHS ihiiioiS " io'tNs on their premises. was decided this morning. Judge Burpee said that in view of the fact that this was the first case to come up he would suspend sen tence. This was the case which was brought by Prosecuting Agent Pierce, and proved so interesting in court last week. The accused were charged with allowing a young bOotblack to keep his chair in their place of business. At that time the court did not think 1t was violation of the law and put the case over for week to consider the matter. It now looks as if any one brought in on this charge will have to pay the penalty If the police and prosecuting attorney are sure they will be upheld by the court several more arrests are likely to be made.

RUNAWAY CAR.
John Guideu's Hair Raisias Experience on
 Third Rail.

Plainville. Jan 3.-John Guiden hail an exciting ride in runaway thlru- rail car from Bristol Monday night. He had been spending the evening ih Bristol. and entered. as he supposed, the 1920 D. m. third-rail ear for Plain vile. This is the last car out of Bris. tol and therefore the fact that he was the only passenger did not attract his attention.
 The car with two trailers in some unacc0untable manner slipped from it's moorings and with Guiden in soil tary possession started at a merry clip down the track.
 Fortunately the line was clear. The cars on the down grade kept increas- ing in speed. and when Forestville sta ton was shot past like lightning Mir Guiden began to sit up and take mo- tice.
 As the Plainville silii,g was reached lie took flying leap and landed safe ty while the coaches continued on. Guiden notified the Plainville night operator. who had himself noticed the headlong drive of the cars. and word was sent to New Britain and railroad men from that city found the cars stalled about q mile from the Cook siding.

Men Arrested in Bridgeport For
 Burglary at Barlow Bros.

They helped themselves to considerable table cutlery. and ;.s one of them needed a shave he decided that he might as well take q supply of razors of the safety and ordinary kind. An old pocket knife was found after them which led to the deduction that the owner had had it for a long time and that he nevertheless thought a good deal of it for he took otper pocket knives of a better brand in exchange. Tn all about $3O worth of goods were taken. The police con cluded the robbery and burglary were committed by John Powers and Pat rick Barry and they got on their trail. This morning they were arrested in Bridgeport and they arrived here in the forenoon.
