 Pleads Guilty.
 States Attoraey Charles F. Searls addressed the Court and said that At torney Daniel Cronan of New London, counsel for Harry Chippenda1e, who had pleaded not guilty to the charge oI manSls gl1ter, had given, notice that ChtPpeHdaie had decided to change his plea to guilty. Chippendale was called and pleaded guilty. The states attor- ney made a statement of the case s1Ating in part that last April Carrie Ifeber1maln of New London underwent d criminal operation from the effects of which sine died and that just be- fore her end came she had said that Chippendale had taken her to a phy- sIcdans where the operation was per formed. The girl had confessed that she did not know where she was taken or Hsho the physician was. When it was apparent that the girl would die the authorities of New London made an effort to ascertain who the physi- clan was, and they arrested Chippen- dale and after he had been promised immunity he admitted that he took the girl to Dr. Davia I.add of NEoosuq, where the operation was performed. States AttornkF SearIs was notified and he iSSueT a bench warrant for the arrest of CNppenda1e and also of Dr. ISadd, but When the officer went to the doctors neuse the doctor, evidently realizing the purport of that visit, took a dose of quick poison and died prac- ticallzF instantly.
 StA4e's Attorney Searls said that Cg6ppendale had been sentenced be- fore to states prison in 1906 for for eery. for not less than year and not more than five years. but that he had now been out on parole for eighteen months. Considering all the circurn- stances of the case, as well as the promise made ChlppendTle by the New London authorities, he said he thought justice would be satisfied if the court sentenced Chippenda1e to a year in jail and he would offer that recom- mendation to the court.
 Good Life Since ParoIed.
 Attorney Cronan made long and earnest plea for Chippendale, tracing the details of the case that has excited so much notoriety the past few weeks and stated that without ChippendaIe's Confession the identity of the physician would not be known and he could not have been proceeded against as there was no evidence except what was con tained in his own confession. He told of the good life Chfppendale had led since his parole and of the regard in which he was held by his employers. W'aile in states prison he had patented an article that was about to be finan ciered by New London capitalists. Csi1ippendale was not responsible for the girls condition, but another man in New London who had skipped out was the guilty one and Chippendale had simply acted for her out of sym pathy-
