STONE SENT TO STATE PRISON
Pleaded Guilty to Rape One Count and Gets One to
Two Years-State Rests in the Case Against DR.. Dmon
and Defense Opens.

tense was S. Paul Forbet. barber
in New London, who testified that he
closed his shop Saturday nights about
11.3O o'clock. On the night of Feb
ruary 20, 1908, he met DR.. Dimon aft
er he had closed his shop and walked
along with the doctor for some dis
tance. DR.. Dimon carried a handbag.
1t was about 11.40 o'clock.
Court was adjourned while the wit
ness was under cross examination and

O'Clock.
Stone Sent to Prison.
At the conclusion of a short recess
taken at $50, Joseph Stone Of Central
Village, aged As, was brought into
court on bench warrant, he having
been bound over from the city court
on Wednesday. He was charged with
rape on two counts, but the second
was nolled. and he pleaded guilty to
the charge Of rape upon Annie Falvey,
who is not quite IT,
Attorney E. 7. Burke spoke in be-
half of Stone stating that Stone came
here from Central Village last week
and went to the house of Fife Smith
in Talman street. There he found
Annie Falvey and Lizzie Donovan and
the Smith woman. Liquor was bought
by him and while under the influence
the Falvey girl made advances and
asked him for a dollar, which he gave
her, and while he was asleep $40 was
stolen from him. The girl. said At
torney Burke, is no novice in that bus
mess, having led such life for over
two years, being a very vicious girl
for her age. Under the circumstances
he thought the man ought not to be
sent to state prison as the girl was
the cause of 1t.
States Attorney Hull told the court
that his attention had been called to
the girl two years ago. She had been
contaminated by bad associates. 1t is
not a case where an innocent child has
been abused. He did not recommend
a severe sentence although he thought
it should be state prison, as there is
too much Of such crime, and 1t should
be a lesson to others, as the girl was
apparently a child.
Judge Wheeler sente1ced Stone to
state prison for one and not more than
two years.

mony and was cross examined at
length, occupying about two hours of

the wounds he mentioned could have
been made otherwise than by the in

Mrs. Buivet's house the night of Feb

DR.. Dimon. She spoke to him about
having another doctor. but he said he
didn't need one, and spoke of a diff
cult case he had at the next house
when everything came out right. He
said before taking charge of the wo-
man that she was as strong as a horse
and would come out all right. When
Mrs. Buivet began to recover from
the opiates and show signs of pair the
doctor started to leave. He was asked
to stay, but said she would be all right
and left two pills for her.
Zigmond Rodmansky, brother-in-law
of Mrs. Buivet, testified of helping at
the birth Of the child. When DIR. Di-
mon was asked if he did not want an
other doctor, he said: What in the
devil do want another doctor for7 1

doctor acted funny when he came
to the house, and Mrs. Buivet was in
agony when he left. She was lying
across the bed and he gave orders not
to touch her.
DR.. E. Henkle, when called. testified
that he was called to treat Mrs. Bui-
vet and found her in a surgical COL
