The case brought by Giocchino
Spenatto, which resulted in an indict-
ment against Joseph S. Grills of West
erly on the charge of embezzlement,
was tried to a jurv in the superior
court for Washington county at West
Kingston Wednesday. 1t will be the
last jury case to be tried at this ses-
sion.
This is one of the cases brought by
the Spenatto brothers against Grills
about g year ago, which charges Grills
with receiving money from them to the
amount of $1,000 for transfer to the
Bank of Rome in Italy. Mr.. Grills was
doing a banking business and Spenatto
claimed that the money was deposited
with Grills TO be sent direct to Rome
to the credit of near relatives there.
1t is claimed that Grills declared that
the money had been forwarded. but in
quiry from the Bank of Rome disclosed
the fact that the money had not been
forwarded and that GIRLS was not
known as an agent or representative
of the institution in Westerly. De-
mand was made on Grills for the mon
ey. AS it was not produced. the suit
resulted.
Grills claims that he was doing a
banking business and that the money
in this case was not received at one
time but a intervals, and that due en-
try was made in the deposit book, in
Guiding the interest. just al is done in
regular banking institutions. He had
made investments that were not profit
able. he claims, and therefore did not
have the cash to meet the run on the
bank made by Spenatto. Griils had
offered to pay back the money received
for deposit. with interest, just as soon
as he was able to do so, but could not
fix any definite time for the payment.
The state rested at $50 Wednesday
afternoon and court was adjourned to
$50 Thursday morning.

There was rumor in Westerly on
Wednesday to the effect that the prop
erty OF the late Edwin Babcock in Elm
street was. through the philanthropy
of a wealthy nonresident with close
relationship IN Westerly, to be pur-
chased and endowed as a home for
aged women. The large house and
open grounds are well adapted for such
an institution and the gentleman has
the means TO create such home where
the old women of the town who have
some means to provide could secure
a home wherein they could pass their
declining days in comfort.
At the town clerks office no transfer
deeds of the Edwin Babcock estate
have been received for record. 1t is
town talk. however. that the purchase
had been made by Edward Miner of
MoOsup. a former resident but this
report is not verified by the gentle
mans most intimate friends in West
erly. A gentleman close to Mr. Miner
declared that if the property is pur-
chased by Mr.. Miner it will probably
not be used as u public or semi
public institution. but will be a rest
dence for members of the Miner fam
ily.
