The criminal superior court came
in at New London Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock. Afer the jury Was call
ed in Judge Burpee excused the MEM
beers until 2 o'clock.
Attorney Edmund J. Condor of New
London was sentenced to four months
in Jail and was fined $500 for embez
element. In the sentence it was speci-
should be served in the Norwich jail,
this being by request
AT the opening of court. Condor, who
was out under bonds of $1,000, was
presented at the bar and he pleaded
guilty State Attorney Hull explained
tahe circumstances regarding the
agreement and said that the case had
been carefully canvassed and thor
oughly considered. The state attorney
said he thought it should be explained
that of the $500 only 1920 was misap-
propriated, the other 5000 having been
deposited as soon as turned over to
Condor by Mrs. Ryan.
Judge Burpee in passing sentence
said that he thought it should be ex-
planned that an agreement had been
reached after conference. Judge
Burpee said that the sentence he was
to infiict was not commensurate with
the offense, but that the fact that a
faithful relative would suffer equally
was taken into consideration.
Condor took the sentence quietly.
The 1870 in question was money lett
Mrs. Ryan by Polly Thornton a rela-
tive. 1t was represented to Mrs. Ryan
by Condor that this money would be
seized by the city for the keep at the
aimshouse of a. relative of Mrs. Ryan's
and on this representation the money
was turned over to Condor.
Disbarment is to follow as a result
of these charges. The grievance com
nittee of the Bar association met
"wednesday afternoon and considered
the case. Attorney John G. Geary.
who was Condon's counsel, is chair
man of that committee, but because of
his relation to the case took no part
in the conference. The committee will
in writing, as is the form, recommend
to the court the disbarment of the con-
victed attorney.

THE NORWICH HOLDUP.
View of the Trouble as Seen in An
sonia.

Regarding the trouble of the weavers
at the Falls mill, which is now settled,
the Ansonia Sentinel has the following
to say:
which is reported from Norwich where
big cotton mill, usually employing
from 500 to 500 hands, is reported to
have shut down because of strike
of weavers who want more pay. That
is, while most cotton mills are run
ming flve days week and seriously
contemplating closing down entirely,
the help in the Norwich mill are sud-
denly seized with dissatisfaction at
their usual pay and demand more or
none at all. The management OF the
mill has given them an opportunity
to return at the Old wages, for full
weeks work, but not enough of them
have chosen to do SO to make it worth
while to run the mill. An account in
one of the Norwich papers says also
that quite a number of the strikers
would like to have returned to work,
but were afraid to do SO. And this is
apparently the case. Their common
sense must tell them that when other
cotton mills are running short hours,
curtailing production by a considera-
bic amount, is a wrong time to demand
increased wages.
Evidently in Norwich few are
leading a great many of the employees
around by their noses against their
will. Last week when some of the
employees tried to return to the mill to
work riot occurred stones were
thrown, shot were fired. and nine were
arrested. Evidently intimidation is be-
ing used in Norwich, the Rose of New
England. the heart of a free country
Production has been stopped and men
ana women have been eoerced into
giving up their inalienable right to
earn and to support themselves and
families. And up in Hartford someone
has presented bill to the legislature
which, if passed, will legalize this sort
of nonsense

NO OPPOSITION TO
CHANGE OF HIGHWAY
Stony Brook Road VIII Have Other
Than Wooden Brfdges-kitemaue
Road to Be Built.

At a special meeting held in the
Town hall in Palmertown this week,
it was voted to accept the proposed
layout of a new highway from the
junction of the New yondon turnpike
near the witch-hazel mill and the old
road to Kitemuag and TO build the
road. It was also voted to accede to
the request of the city of Norwich to
close a short stretch or road at Stony
brook and to permit Norwich to build
another section in place of the road 50
condemned. A proposition to close
short piece of road near the C. NJ.
Robertson Co.'S mill in Palmertown
and to substitute another piece of road
for it was turned down by the meet
ing.
First Selectnan Moses Chapman
presided. There were about IS pres
ent.
The resolution empowering the Sc
lectmen to construct the kitemaug
road was proposed by Joseph F. Kill
leen. BY the terms OF the resolution
the selectnen are authorized to issue
notices calling for estimates on the
road and also that the contract shall
be let to the lowest substantial bid
der, who must be a resident of Mont
Vile The resolution also contains a
clause specifying that as far as pos
sibIe all the labor employed in the
construction shall be hired in the
town.
On the Stony Brook road matter
there was no opposition. This section
of road will be built at the expense
of the city of Norwich and is neces-
sary in connection with the formation
of a new reservoir on the brook Ac-
cording to the specifications prepared
for this road, it was stated, the bridges
which are to be built will be of other
construction than wood. This is GER
tain, but the surveyors are not yet
certain whether they will be built OF
stone or reinforced concrete.

THE FUTURE PEOPLE AND ART.
Subject Of Pspsr by X. Raisin Before
Socialist Party.

Before the meeting of the Norwich
branch of the socialist party in their
room in the Stead building on Thurs
day evening a paper by X. Raisin upon
the subject The Future People and
Art formed the basis for an interesting
general discussion and informal debate.
Mr.. Haisin took the ground that the
future people would be able to provide
for his family by laboring three hours
per day and that all would work and
none live on the labor of others as
now. Having time to think, the future
people would study more of science
and nature and hence many beliefs
which prevail now will disappear. The
future man will be intellectual and will
never bslievs in gods or deni- gods, in
kings and queens, in priests and
prophets People will be equal and
the family which comes of kings and
lords will not be more llonored than
that which comes of common laborers
