In the city court Monday Frank
Sponcey, 32, of this city was the prin-
cipal figure, and the charges against
MIN We're '1ntoxication and breach OF
the peace Sponeey appeared with a
couple OF ugly scalp wounds and a
ridge across the top Of his Uranium, the
result OF a fracas that he had near
midnight Saturday with Oficer Julius
Cordier. who patrols the Providence
street section of the city. The assault
alleged was in connection with the row
with the policeman. Incidentally,
Sponcey gave Officer Cordier such a
trimming in February OF 1908 that in
the local city court on the 24th day OF
that month in that year he was sen
fenced to serve 270 days in Jail and
pay fine of s1ss; SO, whether the
act was justified or not, Oficer Cor
der squared an old account Saturday
night. When Sponcey beat him up,
and did 1T with the oflcer's own stick,
Cordier was laid UP for several days.
This old incident had an indirect
bearing on the case heard in the city
criticism of Off1cer Cordier's severity
in dealing with Sponcey.
After hearing the evidence which
was Somewhat long drawn out and
threw many sideliyf1ts on the matter,
Judge Fuller continued the case for
two weeks and placed Sponcey in the
care of Probation Onfcer Bowen.
Officer Chaffee figured in an unim-
portant way in the incident preceding
the arrest of Sponcey on Saturday
evening, Officer Cordier calling him to
his assistance from the business sec
ton of the city some time before the
happening above chronicled occurred,
Officer Cordier claiming that he scent
ed trouble. Onicer Chaffee had no
part in the scuffie. but helped take
Sponcey to. the lookup when it was
over.

NATIVE OF CANTERBURY.
Characteristics of Judge Daniel w.
Bond, Whose Death Was Announced
Monday.

Judge Daniel W. Bond, who died at
his home In Waltham on Sunday, was
well known in this section of east
ern Connecticut, in the towns of which
are relatives of his and men ami wo-
men who were students under him dur
ing the time that he taught school in
neighboring town. A Boston paper
of Monday printed a picture of the
little house in Canterbury where Judge
Bond was born.
Judge Bond was obliged to earn his
educati and taught school to pay his
expenses while he was studying law.
In 1850 he entered the Columbia law
school, where he soon became known
as a brilliant student. His early edu-
cation was obtained in Plainfield acad-
envy and at the New BritaHl normal
school While he was stu ying law
he learned shorthand and aid his ex-
penses in New York by reporting leg
lures for the morning papers.
He became an expert shorthand re-
porter and acquired a habit of making
shorthand notes, which has stayed
with him through all of his life. In
every case at which he has ever pre-
sided as Judge, he has taken the evil
Gence in full in shorthand. In two
cases, one in which the stenographer
died shortly after the trial, and in an
other in which the stenographer's
notes We're burned up, Judge Bond
was able to supply full bill of ex
ceptions to the losing side from his
notes.
In Columbia, he won the Liebner
prize of $500 in the department of pe
litical science, and was graduated a
bachelor of laws in 1862. After year
in Providence, he moved to Massachu-
sets, was admitted to the bar in
Hampshire county and made his home
in Florence, that state. AS young
man. Judge Bond won a fine reputa-
ton as a criminal lawyer, conducting
some very important cases. AS a judge
he became prominent by presiding at
many notable trials, the last of which
was that of Hattie Leblanc, finished
only a few weeks ago.
During all of his long life, Judge
Bond retained a strong affection for
his native town in old Windham coun-
ty, and up to within few years it
was his custom to spend some time
each summer in Canterbury. He liked
the open life and was an especially
good judge and fond of horses. own
ing at one time pair that he i'm
ported from England, and which were
regarded as the finest in Massachu-
sets.
He was one of the earliest advocates
of the probation system now in use in
the, courts and did great deal Of
work toward getting the system adopt
ed. He served on committees con-
stantly and kept up his interest in the
system to the end of his life.
Judge Bond married May 20, 1858,
at Canterbury, Susan J. Dyer OF that
town. She survives him, with three
children. Henry III. and Charles w.
r. Barnard.
