STATE TOPICS.

William F. Walker, the absconding treasurer of the savings bank of New Britain, stood in the prisoners cage in the Superior court room at Hartford, Saturday, and with his right hand up- held pleaded guilty to four counts in long indictment charging him with embezzlement of securities of the bank. A few words from District At torney Hugh Alcorn and then Judge Shumway pronounced the sentence, which means from one to 20 years be- hind the gray walls of the state prison at Wethersfeld. The four counts repre- sented an embezzlement of bank prop erty amounting to S47O,OO which had been converted to his own use. The original indictment contained B counts appertaining to bank funds, and six ad- ditional counts charging the embezzle- ment of securities of the Connecticut Baptist convention, the latter amount ing toabout S60, 900. Immediately upon the pronouncing of sentence the term of the Superior court. which had been adjourned from time to time since Jan uary, in anticipation of the home com ing of the prisoner, was declared ad- iourned without date, and Walker, guarded by three deputy sheriffs, was taken to the county jail. The court proceedings were brief. Court was opened without moments delay, and the prisoner was ordered to stand up, and Clerk Conant began the reading of the counts Of the indictment to which Walker was called upon to plead. The reading of the minute description of the securities taken from the bank took nearly 20 minutes. The disposition of the case lasted scarcely one minute more. Walker was taken to the state prison during the afternoon. In view of the fact that Walker is now 65 years of age, it is believed that he will be assigned to some easy task in the state prison. His physical condition is poor.

When the train from Litchfeld pulled into Hawleyville at 9.3O o'clock Mon- day morning, one passenger coach was the object of interest, In the coach were twenty-four children, their faces damned against the window panes in an effort to see everything that was going on. These juvenile passengers who had a special car all to themselves were on the way back to their homes in New York after two weeks outing as guests of the New York Tribune, among the hills in Bantam, Litchfield county. Every face of the twenty four was wreathed in smiles and it did not need the words of anyone to tell that the kidlets had enjoyed themselves fully.
