The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-11-01

A large and enthusiastic assemblage greeted Garry Paddock, Democratic candidate for Senator in the 23d dis trict; Lynn W. Wilson, and Town Chairman W. w. Bent, on Barnum avenue, in front of the Singer Co.'S plant, this afternoon between 12 and o'clock. The speakers were introduc- ed by MT. Bent. MT. Paddock made a speech in which he pledged himself to support all of the progressive legis- lation favored in the Democratic plat form. His remarks were received with applause.
 MT. Wilson referred to Chandler of Rocky Hill "the little Red Riding Hood of Connecticut politics."
 Said Mir. Wilson: T have been told that I am to make here an answer to MT. Chandler. I am glad to do that because I regard him as quiee the ablest man speaking for the Republi- Goodwin and these very doubtful gen. tlemen who got him the nomination.
 MT. Chandler is the little Red Rid ing Hood of Connecticut politics. You remember the story of Little Red Rid ing Hood and the great, hairy, greedy wolf, who disguised himself as the lit tie girls grandma.
 "You remember about those big, hairy ears. and that long, greedy snout, and those big, sharp teeth. which were so unpleasant to every body
 well, MT. Chandler met the wolf, and liked the beast so well that he gives us all an invitation to meet dear, old Grandma Wolf. He says she's fine. She has gobbled all the railroads, and all the trolleys, and all the steamboat lines, and the State government and MT. Chandler and Mir. Goodwin, too, and she's a dear old thing.
 That's his vic1. But Err Chan dler, you must remember, was chair man of the railroad committee of the Legislature and that is good place that only men Grandma Railroad likes can get.
 "And MT. Goodwin owes his nomi- nation to the legislative lackeys of Grandma Railroad, and MT. Chandler wants Mr. Goodwin elected because he has a lively sense of favors to come and he's willing to belittle Red Rid ing Hood, but he doesn't want to be saved
 .rHe tells you that he favors such legislation as the workman's cOmpen- sation act.
 sI think this is merely a bait to get you into the wolf's den at New Ha- ven. or the one in Hartford, which you can recognize by the horrid stench of the bones of dead legislation. even of this very workman's act. which dur~ ing 16 years have been stripped by the long teeth and left to wfiten and rot under the burning skies of legislative corruption.

''HOWY" RICKEL GIVEN A FOUR
 MONTHS TERM
Well Known Sporting Char acter Takes Appeal Under $500 Bonds = Ferdinand Grah the Complainant

Protesting that the blows he dealt Ferdinand Grah, 386 East Washing ton avenue, his foreman in the Chal- lenge Cutlery Co.,, were to prevens Grah from bringing razor down upon his head, Thomas H. Rickel, bet ter known to the local sporting world as "Howy' Rickel, was sentenced to jail for four months and fined $100 and costs in the City court today.
 Judge Foster said he was in doubt as to whether he should not hold the accused for higher tribunal in view of the gravity of Grah's injuries. He allowed an appeal in bail of $500, which Rickel furnished. The story of the assault itself was detailed in court by only two participants, Rickel and Grah, there having been no other witnesses to the actual encounter.
 That Grah was very badly hurt by RickelS blows was the statement of Dr. Edward Fitzgerald, his physician. Dr. Fitzgerald treated Grah at his home. He said that Grah was so vio- lent three days after he was struck that several men were called upon to restrain him. The injury to his brain had bereft him of his reason. Though Grah has returned to his employment, the doctor testified he has not yet fully recovered, but eventually will suffer no ill effects.
 Grah testified that he summoned Rickel to his office and took him to task for faulty work and that Rlckel became boiSterouS, shouted his pro- tests and then threatening to kill Gran, beat him into inSenSibility. He denied under cross examination that he had taken up the razor, or had arisen from his swivel chair, after the first blow, he was sent back ill the chair and was helpless to defend himself.
 z Rfckel said that when Grah sent for him, he went into the office, with another enploye who soon after left When Grah began to upbraid him for the work, he said he retorted that he had been in the employment of the concern for 19 years and that no doubt he could tell Grah some thing about the business he didn' t know He said Grah became furious. seized the razor and rising to his feet brought the razor down towards him with an oath.
 Riclkel said he seized the right hand of Grah, which held the razor, and with his left hand free struck him three times upon the face. The second blow caused him to drop the razor, and the third he let go as he saw the weapon dropping. He knock ed off Grah's glasses with the first blow but they were not broken.
 Judge Foster ruled that even if Rickefs story is to be credited. by his own admission he was guilty Of assault, having used more force than was lustifia ble. He fixed <bail for Rickers appeal at $500. which was rTr-.-~---'>
