FRUIT OF CANTERBURY PLOT.
Descendants Of Prudence crandalPs
Pupils Working in Africa.

When Prudence Crandall, in 1888,
was prosecuted for teaching colored
girls at Canterbury. she had among
her pupils two girls, daughters of
Cesar Tucker, a laboring man. When
the school broke up they went to
Springfield and married, the elder,
Julia, becoming the wife of Jared Fin
nemore, farmland, and the younger,
Jenny, marrying a man named Jonn-
son, who with his wife emigrated to
Liberia. Some years later in the
later SOS, the Finnemores also emil
grated and found their relatives had
died, leaving two boys. George and
John. Shortly after their arrival Fin
nemore and his little nephew. John,
died of coast fever. Mrs. Finnemore
returned to this country and died
some years later at Pittsfeld. The sur
viving nephew, George Johnson. was
taken care Of by c. II. o. King, the
agent OF the American Colonization So
ciety, until he reached his majority,
when he went to Abeokuta, on the west
coast. and aiding in the organization
of the tribal United States of Africa,
became the "amono oba." The Can
terbury plot" has borne fruit most sur
prisingly.

whey MALADYS CASE TO co over
Will Not Come Up in Criminal Superior Court this Month
Session will be Short-Civi Cases Settled and there
will be Session Today.

The case of the state against Whey
Malady, charged with aiding in keep
ing May Burns, the Is year old girl,
from New Haven, in Addie Burns
house in New London, will not be tried
at the May term of the criminal SUI
perior court. which is in session at
New London.
The reason for the decision not to
try the case at this term is because
the Addie Burns case. upon which
this case turns, Is yet in an unsettled
state, the appeal which was heard be-
fore the supreme court of errors less
than two weeks ago, not having been
decided yet. The fact that the Burns
case had been appealed and that no
decision had been given on the APP
peal might affect a jury sitting on the
Malady case, hence the decision to
hold the trial of the Malady woman
over until the September term.
Whey Malady was housekeeper at
the Addie Burns place when May
Burns was there. She was an inn
portant witnfss in the Burns case and
was arrestedCand taken to court on a
bench warrant, following the Burns
case, but she was released on bonds.

Men of strono individuality.

The nomination of Judge Holcomb
and Gardiner Greene to the pending
vacancies on the bench Of the superior
court has given universal satisfaction,
said the New York Herald Sunday.
They are men of entirely different
types, but each has a strong individ-
uality.
1t is already in the air that Mr..
Kenealy viii succeed Mr.. Holcomb
when that gentleman goes upon the
bench. If Governor Weeks appoints
him to fill the unexpired portion of
Mr.. Holcomb's term as attorney gen
eral it is unlikely that the convention
will withhold from him the nominal
ton, though It has been common talk
for some time that Senator Searls of
Thompson is an aspirant for that
place.
