DIR. HUBBELL
YALE MAN
GOES JAIL
Son of One Of Wealthiest
Land Owners in Sherman
Friendless in City Court
Had Distributed Worthless
Paper Freely-Sentenced
for Defrauding James
Feeley-Pleads His Own
Cause.

Marvin D. Hubbell, Md, Yale 81,
son Of DR.. j. Hubbell, one of the
weaithiest land owners of Sherman,
Conn.,, was sentenced to Jail for three
months and fined 81 and costs in the
worthless check for SO upon jam es
Feeley. a real estate dealer.
That Hubbell has been manipulate
ing checks upon many banks was
brought out during his examination
on the witness stand. He pleaded
guilty to the specific charge Of at
tempting to defraud Feeley, but said
his plea was made in that way under
advice of counsel.
Attorney Louis Kornblut who ap-
peared for Hubbell when he was ar
raigned before, did not put in an ap-
pearance at the city court today. The
doctor hadn't a friend in court, and
in view of his agreement to plead
guilty to the charge it was not neces-
sary to produce witnesse
Hubbel was informed that he could
make whatever statement he wished.
He said he did not know that his
bank account in the First National
bank in New Milford was down so
low, until after he had given Mr.. Fee
ley the check. This was because he
he int received his mail regularly and
because he didn't keep very close
track of his finances.
Prosecutor Delaney produced sew
eral letters, one from the Great
from the Second National bank, New
York, and the letter from the New
Milford bank, informing the prisoner
his account had been overdrawn. De-
Laney also produced nearly a dozen
blank checks upon different banks
n g.
oner denied he had collected the
checks for the purpose Of passing
them fraudulentiy.
ST have never knowingly passed a
worthless check" protested the doc
tor, earnestly, when he WAS confront
and papers indicating that he had
drawn many a bad check.
What about the check for $40 up
on Bridgeport attorney? asked De-
Laney. He referred to Attorney
The prisoner said he hadn't drawn
such a check. He added that he in
tended to go into the automobile bus
mess in this city and had a, contract
with an automobile concern to open
an agency here. That was his .pur-
pose of visiting the city, he said
'I regard it as Fortunate" observed
Judge Foster, that this man has been
stopped just where he is. He was on
the way in my Judgment to offenses
more serious. AS it is, I feel that I
may take Jurisdiction in this case
Had he been permitted to go on, he
might have committed states pris-
on offence"
DR.. Hubbell took his sentence
meekly. He was plainly clad, and
his clothing showed the effect Of his
week behind the bars. He went to
Jail in the van with several vagrants
and drunks. It was reported about
police headquarters that the news Of
the sons disgrace had been kept from
the aged father, at the request of the
prisoner. He had hoped that friends,
especially fellow classmates in Yale,
would come to the front for him, but
none was at hand today. DR.. Hub
BELLS effects contained several letters
showing him to be mem er Of the
Yale Club of New York.

EASTON farmer
FINED $50 FOR
ABUSING HORSE
Emaciated and Crippled
Animal Suffered Agony
AS 1T Was Driven Under
Lash.

Rehearsal of tales df cruelty to
animals extending over a period of
several months, and of repeated
warnings from the officers Of the
Humane society, occupied the atten-
ton of Judge Foster in the city court
today when Philip Snow, a dairy
farmer of Easton, Conn, was arraign-
ed for abuse of an animal he was
found driving through Golden Hill
street. yesterday. The condition of
the animal led Humane Agent Sam
uel A. Gardner, who knew Snow of
old, to turn him over to the police.
State Humane Agent Gardner was
the principal witness against Snow.
Prosecuting Agent e. o. Hull of the
society issued the warrant on which
Snow was brought before Judge Fos-
ter this morning. Snow laughed at
the idea that he abused his horse,
and on the witness stand declared he
intended to take the animal back to
bis farm and work 1t.
Humane Agent Gardner testified
that yesterday he was driving up
Golden Hill street when Snow passed,
driving down the hill, with one horse
in such state that Gardner leaped out
streaming with sweat, was limping
painfully and it bore welts where
Snow had beaten it, Snow was lacing
it with the stump Of a broken whip
when Gardner chased him, and
caught him near Main street
Gardner said the condition of the
horse was almost indescriba bic. He
said the horse was suffering agony,
and in it's emaciated and crippled
condition it was g. crime to drive it
at all. Gardner took the animal In
charge and the driver and he went
with the team to DR.. r. D. Martin s
veterinary hospital.
John J. McGahay, the we'll known
horseShoer whose establishme ad-
joins DR.. Martins veterinary hospital
at Broad and Elm streets, testified
that the animal was Of such frame
pounds. Its weight now couldn't be
more than 800. DIR. Martin gave ex-
pert opinion that the animal was suf-
fering agony.
Snow testified that he bought the
animal eight weeks ago for $40, and
that the lameness of which the wit
nesses testified was improving. He
worked the horse at piowing he said,
and the reason it was covered with
Precipitation he said was the animals
insistence upon running. Even the
court couldn't restrain a smile at this
naive explanation Of the animals con-
dition.
Judge Foster was about to pass
sentence when Humane Agent Gard
ner was recalled to the stand and
told Of visiting Shows farm repeat
edly and finding different horses suf-
fering from maltreatment. He
said he was satisfied that one
horse that died on Shows hands
had been starved to death .
Agent Gardner told the court that
Snow was not so simple as his ap-
pearance might at first sight lead one
to believe. Gardner said he had CIV
en- Snow copies of the law in Yiddish
that he might not present an excuse
of ignorance.
In passing sentence Judge Foster
said he would have made the penalty
nominal taking into consideration the
probable loss of the animal had not
the additional testimony been given
that Snow was an old offender. He
imposed a fine Of $50 and costs, which
Snow paid.

ing the weather permits. Ovington
says he Is not taking any chances with
his new machine until he has mas

Other New York papers carry stor-
ies about him equally enthusiastic, and
he is picked as sure candidate to

Ovington is expected I'm Bridgeport

tomorrow here arranging for his flight
to Port Jefferson and across the
Sound. This trip, If he succeeds in
making it, will give him national
fame. The Sound has already been
crossed, but at a far narrower part
than between Bridgeport and Port
Jefferson.
'This man is an expert flyer, dare

with this Inauguration Of the season

Is to be a Bridgeport enterprise, held
in Bridgeport, backed by Bridgeport

P0MER0Y
NOW RESIGNED
To HIS FATE
Breaks Long Silence of 35
Years in Talking to Mem
bers of Legislative Com
mittee
Noted Prisoner, Who Took
Pleasure in Torturing His
Playmates, Must Remain
in Solitary Confinement.

Boston, April 29-For the first time
in 80 years Jesse Pomeroy. Massachu-
setts' most famous prisoner and one
whose incarceration in CharleStown
prison rivals that Of "the man with
the iron mask MAS spoken to any
from outside world save his keeper
and his aged mother.
Calmly and with no touch of rancor,
this man doomed to spend his life in
the strictest solitary confinement,
told members of the first legislative
committee that ever visited him, it
became known, today, that he has at
last become resigned to his fate.
According to the committee MEM
bers Pomeroy seemed bodily and men
tally healthy and spoke as a man
Of education and refinement, giving
no hint of the impulse that caused
him, when IA years old, to butcher a
playmate.
Ground glass windows prevent
Pomeroy from gazing on the outer
world and when the shutter in the cell
door was lowered to permit the visit
ing legislators to see him the mans
face frightened perceptibly. Asked if
he minded the solitude, Pomeroy
said:

erty 1 have. The bright spots in my
life are the visits of my mother. She
is the only person / am permitted to
see. you know. The prison has be-
come my life and I haye become US
ed to it. l feel 1 have recovered from
all the tendencies that made me dam
gerous, however, and I would be glad
If the Legislature would make it pos
sible for me to have a little more free
dom in prison and a little work to
do
.I am sorry but the Legislature
cannot aid you,'' said the chairman OF
the committee.
The shutter was dropped and with a
sigh of resignation Jesse Pomeroy
dropped back into the solitude from
which he will probably never again
emerge.

ductOr, reported to Sheriff Ostcn
late yesterday afternoon that an at
tempt, had been made to hold him
up, by two strangers, while on his
way to his work, in West Mankato,
at about 5:39 o'clock in the after
noon. He said that as he was
walking towards town he was met
by a man who acted as though he
was drunk and who stopped him and
asked him for dime, and when he
refused the fellow hauled off as
though to strike him and made a
pass at him, and also with one hand
thrust card in his pocket. Knapp
was considerably frightened and has
tened Off and reported the matter to
the police and later to the sheriff's
office by telephone. He gave
good description of the men.
Sheriff Osten at once sent his
deputies, Ed. Ario and J. d. Hilgers,
toward Lake Crystal with a team
to search for the men, as that was
the direction that they took. Knapp
said that the larger man had re-
