En Possession Of Hartford Woman
Priceless. If Genuine.

Mrs. Fannie A. johnson of No. 1853
Blne Hills avenue. is the possessor of
several relics of washington which IL
proved to be genuine would bring a.
high figure from antiquarfans. says
7 he Hartford Courant. AS 1t is, the
relics are undoubtedly of great age
and Mrs. Johnson has good reasons
for believing them to be genuine and
tor prizing them highly These relics
consist OF waistcoat said to have
been made by the mother of George
Washington. a. neck scarf worn by
Tim, and several sets of linen ruffies
from his shirts.
These articles, with others, II is said,
were captured by the British when a
baggage train fell into their hands,
near Chad's Ford in the fall of 1777.
The exact date cannot be proven. but
IS thought to have been between the
cate Of the battle of the Brandywine
and Washtngton's going into winter
quarters at Valley Forge. Mrs. john
son has an old letter which claims
that the raid on the baggage train
was made November 7. 1777, but
whether this is correct she Is unable
10 say. At the time Of the raid the
Pritish officers kept such things as
net with their fancy, and General
William M. Lord came into possession
III these relics and sent them to his
hnne in England At his death they
became the property of his son, Will
ham NJ Lord. who shortly afterwards
en1igrated to America, settling in
Chester, Conn, where he died some
20 years ago.

WOOD FINED s2st
Including costs-S7 on First Count and
500 on Seeond-case Has Cost Him
Nearly $1,000.

Judge Joel Reed at Tuesdays ses-
sion of the superior court, announced
the finding of the jury in the case
of Frederick H. Wood. whose case was
heard at Willimantic last week, and
was relative to receiving and conceal
ing stolen goods from the Bradley res
idence at Pomfret. Wood was found
guilty on two counts. On the first
count he was fined 81 and on the
second $10e, with costs of s1s4, a total
of 1921
On the. first count which charged
the receiving and concealing of pair
of andirons the jury reduced the value
on the andirons, claimed to have been
worth SIS, to SIS. If the value had
been fixed above SIS the fine would
have been at least as heavy as on the
second count.
This second count had to do with
the fireplace tongs and bellows, and
an umbrella which Wood received. In
court the value of the above men,
toned articles was fixed at S26. The
jury reduced the value to SIS, but
this amount permitted the 800 fine
being imposed.
Estimates of the cost of the case
to Mr.. Wood including fines, costs and
lawyers fees, run as high as $1,000.
