Not in the memory of even the oldest in court experience of those who heard the breach of promise suit of Ida Sirine of Pornfret vs Samuel Renick of this city is evidence of such a nat tlre as was brought forth recalled; and prob ably not in the history of Windham county has a judicial tribunal listened to such brazen admissions of moral Gepravity. much of which has caused even hardened consciences to Wlnce, as has been written into the records of this utterly deplorable case.
 The taking of testimony was con- cluded Thursday, the third day of the trial and the one characterized by ad-" missions as sensational and beSt1al as any given in the notorious Tha;w case not to tell the whole truth by Writing worse, ii. possible.
 No newspaper could print the evi dence verbatim without being thou mails. ore better yet, to perpetual sup pression
 Those of the audience that filled the court room during the day may be de- pended upon to feel less morbid curi- osity as to such proceedings should tie future infiict them on this county than that which brought them toehsten to the trial of such a case.
 It is; true that a one period of Thursdays session Judge Williams found it necessary to state to the au dience that the court room was no place for amusement and that the spectators must be decorous or leave; but notwithstanding that an occasion al bit of testimony was of such a nature as to cause a general laugh

HIGH SCHOOL SQUAD
Putting in Hard Work in Preparation
 for Game With Norwich.

The Windham High school football scuad has been putting in some good hard training the past week or so in preparation for it's opening game of the season with Norwich Free Aeade my at Norwich Saturday The candi- dates for the eleven are unusually light this year. but have already shown considerable speed. and with a couple of games played will acquire still more speed and finish.
 There is plenty of available material at the school if it could only be in- duced to come out and make d try for the team Many of the schools stu dents come from out of town. and it is particularly hard for these boys to give their time to athletics. which is to be deplored, as the school is not s well represented as it should or could te.
 The school is fortunate this season in having a man as member of it's faculty well versed in the fundamen- tals of football. The man is MT Nel- son, the new teacher of science. He is working daily with the candida tes and it is expected that he will show good results within a couple of weeks. ThursdaG there was a good fast signal practice and little scrimmage work iii which the men showed up well, an indication that the Academy will have to be right on it's guard in order to keep it's line from being crossed.
 The provisional lineup for Saturdays game will probably be: Latham. left end; Staebner. left tackle; French, left guard: Gates or M2nley. center: w Keirans or Gates. right guard: Kelley CT Randall or NcDermott right tackle. Randall or H. Potter, right end; Dow 1er. duarterback; Ca aptain Harrington pr Manlev. left halfback: J. Keirans. right halfback: Oldenburg fullback. Substitutes: Weeks, Ellsworth. F. Pot ter Stevens and Lathrop.
 The squad win have another prac tice this (F'riday) afternoon to put on the finishing touches for Saturdays game. and will go down to Norwich full Of confidence and with a substa ntial band of rooters at their backs to cheer them on to their prettiest.
