Errlns Couple Said to Have Lived In
Brattleboro.

After forsaking his wife and family
in Bennington a few years ago ana con-
sorting with another woman, Oliver f.
Green and his paramour were brought up
with a round turn at Ansonia, Conn,
and both placed under arrest. In court
Green pleaded guilty to a charge Of
abandonment and was bound over to the
superior court for trial. The woman,
who gave her name as Addie Dual, was
charged with improper conduct and, ad-
hitting her guilt, was fined 81 and costs
and given 80 days in jail Bonds in the
case of Green were fixed at $500, which
he was unable to furnish, and both the
accused were taken to jail.
The Bennington Banner says: Green
will be remembered in this section as he
has figured considerably in police courts
here He was indicted several years ago
charged with committing a burglary at
the residence of Mrs. Skinner at North
Bennington when $500 in gold was taken,
but at the last term of county court the
case was practically closed as so well
were the tracks covered that but little
evidence could be found against him.
The woman arrested with him under
the name of Addie Dual was known here
as the common law wife of George Haines,
who is now serving a sentence in the
state prison for robbing Rutland railroad
freight cars at North Bennington. Since
leaving here the couple have lived in
Brattleboro and several towns in Con-
necticut before going to Ansonia.'

Justice John H. Merrifeld. 1t was not
within Mr. Merrifield's jurisdiction to try
the cases except to determine whether the

Immediately Fred C. Adams waived ex-
animation and was bound over to the

Deputy Sheriff Knapp was called as the
first witness. He testified as to the way
In which he and Mr.. Warren timed Mr..
Haskell with stop watches over an eighth
mile course which they previously had
measured with a tape and said that Mr..
Haskell covered the course in 80 seconds.
Replying to questions by Judge Waterman
he said he mad Orlen Ellis's watch, which
cost $3.50, but that he never tested 1t
with a view TO determining its accuracy.
He said he stood at the south end of the
course and started the watch when the
rear wheels of Mr. Haskells machine
were even with a post near Randall &
Clapp's jewelry store, going north, He
said he did not stand close to the post,
but stood most of the time in a doorway
about 10 feet south of the post, but was
sure he could tell from that angle when
Haskells and other automobiles were
directly opposite the posts
With respect to all the automobiles Mr..
Knapp said "They seemed to be going
at the ordinary speed at which they run
around town." $50 far as you could see,
said Judge Waterman, did they intend to
break the law?" Mr., Knapp's reply was;

Judge Waterman's question: IF you had
not been timing them would you nave
noticed that they were running at an
excessive rate of speed?" The witness
said that he did not take the number OF

that it was the same car

by team which did not develop its field
ing until late in the season. He has won
nearly all of the games which he has
pitched and has scored victories over Dart
mouth, Tufts. Columbia, Manhattan, SYRIA
cuse, Rutgers and New York University.
He sprained his ankle in midseason, which
greatly handicapped him in his delivery,
and kept him out of the Amherst and
Williams games His greatest feat, this
year, was winning four games in ont,
week, three of which were shut outs.
Tufts was beaten 3 TO l, Manhattan. 10
to 0, Dartmouth. to 0, and Columbia,
to 0. He was at his best in the Dart
mouth game, when he held the green
down to one hit and was faced by only
80 batters. Monroe has a peculiar cross
fire. delivery, with plenty of steam. He
uses his head well and fields his position
in almost perfect style. He is a heavy
and sure hitter, and leads the Wesleyan
batters with an average of over 800 He
was captain during his Junior year, but

The opening argument was made by
Mr.. Schwenk. He said the question for
the court to consider was whether there
was probable cause for binding the re-
spondents over. II having been proved
that the respondents violated the law, he
said there was bur one thing for the court
to do. For the defense +. w. Gibson stated
that there was so much in the testimony
of the officers that did not "jibe" that
there was considerable doubt as TO whether
the time was actually and fairly taken.
"a second counts for a good deal" he
sail. lin holding a man on a criminal
charge" He argued that the intent to
break the law must be considered as well
as the actual commission of the act. He
thought il would not serve the ends of
justice TO hold the respondents.
Mr.. Schwenk said the respondents had
ample warning, that the bailiffs had
posted notices that the law would be en-
forced, and that the Automobiles knew
IL. 1T Is just because they were run
ming as they ordinarily do that they are
brought into court here today. Give them
10 seconds for Inaccuracies and then they
viii be found to have greatly exceeded
the law" he said.
At this point Mr.. Mortified said he would
like more time in which to consider the
testimony. and he adjourned court to
10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Immediately after court adjourned
| Charles A. Harris entered complaint to
Mr. Schwenk against Bailiff Henry r.
Brown. charging him with violating the
law which requires drivers of automobiles
to run their cars not to exceed six miles
an hour when approaching cross walks
| and ,ntersecting streets. The complaint
was signed by Mr.. Merrifeld.
MIR. Harris in discussing the question
of speed with Mr.. Brown before the hear
ing said II would be impossible to run
| over the course laid out by the officers as
slow rs 45 seconds on the high gear. To
demonstrate that it could be done Mr..
Harris rode over the course with Mr..
| Brown in the latter's car. Mr.. Brown
occupied more than 45 seconds In covering
the course. but he exceeded the six-mile
| limit, and in view OF the fact that the
action was brought by the bailiffs, of
whom Mr.. Brown is one, Mr. Harris re-
taliated by having a complaint issued
| against Mr.. Brown.
Later in the afternoon Charles r. Crosby
waived examination and was bound over
in the sum of $50 and was released on
| his own recognizance.
