Thomas Allen, alias "Skete' who
escaped from the Pawcatuck lookup
two weeks ago, is still wandering about
in this section and evidently is being
aided by friends in keeping beyond
the reach CT the police authorities.
Just before dusk of Thursday he called
at the Higginbottom residence at SO
Moss street, and asked for a person
named Hazel who he declared was
trying to turn him over to Sheriff
Casey. No such individual is known
at the Higginbottom home. The lady
of the house was somewhat frightened
when -'Skete'' deliberately walked in
to the house and upstairs into the
room of Harold Higginbottom- There
was money in a pocket of the trousers
of this young man that were hanging
in the room and his watch was lying
on the bureau.
The news of the arrival of Allen
spread quickly and the housewives in
the vicinity locked the doors of their
homes. One of them teIephoned for
Sheriff Casey, but that officer was not
at home. Allen evidently knew that
effort was being made to trap him and
he departed quickly and was soon out
of sight He took nothing from the
fIigeinbottom family nor made any
threats nor Intimidation. but seemed
determined on finding Hazel. who
ever she may be.

1. On a trial, the plaintiff, to prove the
of land, introduced in evidence a deed
thereto which purported to convey such
title to himself and another who was not
a party in the action. Thereafter the
plaintiff offered in evidence a written
statement executed by the other grantee
by the terms of which such other dis
claimed any interest in the land from the
date of the deed; Held, the admission
of such disclaimer, over the objection of
the defendant, was material error.
2. On the trial of an appeal from an
award by commissioners of damages for
the condemnation of right of way across
a farm, the jury inspected the premises
upon which the grade, with over and I'M

The plat profile, furnished to the COM

allow no damages for making or MAIN
tanning such crossings as were then made.
