Town Not Liable
 For Road Damage
Highway Commissioners Power to Build Independent of
 Towns Authority

Winsted. May 10-A decision that is expected to attract special attention in the legal world was rendered by Judge Greene in the Superior court here yesterday, when he declared the case of Lucy M. Glover, administra- trix of the estate of Flora Morse vs. the town of Litchfield non-suited The case was brought to recover damages alleged to have been wrought by State road work and was the first of it's kind to be brought to the courts.
 Judge Greene heard the evidence of the plaintiff and then declared that the town was not liable for damage done in the construction of trunk line roads, as the highway commissioner is given full power and authority to en- ter any town and build trunk high ways, independent of the action of the town
 The selectmen in this particular case signed the contract, but Judge Greene ruled that it was done without the authority of the town and the town was not liable for the action of it's selectmen.
 2 Tt is understood that similar actions in other parts of the State have been held up pending the outcome of this case and in all probability an appeal will be taken.

 Shows How Gibbet Works

Atlanta. Ga, May 10-As result of seeing how the gallows works Mrs. Daisy Uulrich Grace, under indict- ment for shooting her husband, faint ed in the Atlanta jail yesterday af- ternoon and is still hysterical.
 Mrs Grace was lonely and asked the jailer to show her over the prison. That official, trying to cheer her up, took her to the gallows room. There he exhibited the black cap and showed her how the moose is adjust ed. For her benefit the trap was sprung, and she was told how with the pulling of the big lever the con- demned mans body falls six feet in to space, bringing up with a jerk which nine times out of ten breaks his neck.
 As the jailer sprung the trap Mrs. Grace screamed:. "Oh. I can't stand it." and fell fainting. Physicians were called and revived her, but she is hysterical, and cries that the pic- ture of the gallows is fixed in her mind
