RYALL AND HUGHES.
Cases NolIed-surprise Of Wednesdays
Session.

The surprise of the day came when
the cases Of Thomas Ryall and James
Hughes Of Danielson were nolled. The
men were charged on four counts with
breaking and entering. The only wit
ness Of any importance that the state
would have been able to introduce
against them was Willie Ryall, the
8 year old son of one of the prisoners.
Willie furnished the information to
the police that led to the arrest of the
father and Hughes, and told how he
had been taken along to assist in the
breaks. In the opinion of Special At
tory Torrey. however the evidence of
the boy was not sufficient to warrant
the belief that a conviction could be
secured and consequently he recon-
mended to the court that the cases be
nolled.
