CLAIMS A DIVORCE
BECAUSE OF EPILEPSY
Harry Hankin Became Engaged Half
Hour After Meeting Annie Wasser-
man.

Harry Hankin of Norwich appeared
in the superior court at New London
Wednesday and asked that he be di-
vorced from Annie Wasser,nan Hankin
because she is subject to epileptic fits.
The case was a peculiar one.
1t was not one of those courtships,
which began in childhood and then
ripened into love as per the modern
novel; it was short term courtship
and 4 rather unusual one. Hankin
secured Mrs. Hankin through a Yid-
dish matchmaker
Hani1in corresponded with the
matchmaker and it was arranged that
he should meet Annie Wasserman,
who was recommended as a likely
wife Hankin met his wife-to be in
Norwich by appointment. In less than
half an hour they had become en-
gagged. At that time the woman was
seized by & spell. Dr.. Cassidy was
called and the woman revived; Han
kin claims he did not understand the
nature of the trouble at that time.
A week later their enga cement was
announced. and soon after the mar
riage took place. The bride was
seized by fit soon after the maria &c,
Hankin said. Other fits followed and
then the bridegroom found that his
bride was subject to epilepsy, and he
brought this action for divorce.
The principal witness Wednesday
morning was the bridegroom He is
a middle aged man and does not speak
English. He testified through an in
terpretar Attorney Herman Alofsin Of
Norwich acting in that capacity.
The bride, stout Jewess of about
So, sat in the courtroom. Apparently
the court proceedings were mysteries
to her and she grinned frequently as
her husband described her physical
condition.
The Hankins were married less
than a year ago. Attorneys Brown &
Perkins of Norwich appeared for the
plaintiff and Attorneys Charles F.
Comstock of Montville and Robbins of
Norwich for the defendant.
The court was scheduled to hear the
case of Joseph Mercer VS.. the town of
Montville, but it was not ready.
Today will be the last day of court
business, the jury coming in Tues
day.
Judge Reed has passed on some
matters heard at the short calendar
session last Friday.
In A. N. Carpenter VS.. John Para
cent? and others, Judge Reed orders
the case restored to the docket.
In Ella NJ Davis VS.. H. Willis Man
waring, administrator, Judge Reed
sustains the demurrer.
The demurrer is overruled in An
son Minard VS.. the Royal Linen mills
Inc.
The came of James L. Case, admin
istrator vs. Mary Fahey, which was
one of three cases set for Wednesday,
was excused to this morning.
Today the cases scheduled are Hen
ry Walton VS.. Ernest A. Smith, and
Annie Daily VS.. Norwich Savings So
ciety.
Friday the court will hold a short
calendar session here.

WATER SYSTEM
INSTALLED
Harlowton Water Mains Laid and
Hydrants in Place.

The Harlowton water works sys-
tenn is fast nearing completion.
The only work remaining is for the
contractor to test the reservoir and
mains and turn the system over to
the city.
The water supply is to be pump
ed from a bored we'll in the Park
addition on the elevation west OF
the city. The we'll is 643 feet deep
and has an abundant supply OF
water. The water will be pumped
from this well to the reservoir by
gasoline engine with a
single acting cylinder pump. The
pump has capacity of 43 gallons
per minute. The reservoir is made
of concrete and has a lining 4
inches in thickness. The main
pipe is 8 inches in diameter and is
1850 feet in length. 1t starts on
lots and 2 in block 3 of Park ad-
dition and goes north to Central
avenue; it is then laid on Central
avenue for distance of Z blocks
up to the Graves hotel. On Main
street the pipe is laid frcm Went
worth avenue to Eckles avenue.
There are 2 hydrants on every
block, placed alternately from one
side of the street to the other.
Mr.. Hammer, the contractor
says that the water system is first
class in every way, and that the
city made no mistake when they
ordered this system put in. AS
the city increases in population
the mains will be extended to 9th
er parts of it.
