TOWN COURT.
Judge Back Recognized William
 Fletcher After Fourteen Years.

Judge Harry D. Back of the town court has wonderful memory for the faces of the fallen and unfortunate who have appeared before him or in the court since he has been connected with it. Thursday morning William Fletcher, charged with intoxication, was the lone prisoner presented.
 When Chief Filling brought the man in from the cell room Judge Back look ed at the prisoner and said: You have been in here before, haven't you?"
 Fletcher replied that he had, and that his appearance there was matter of fourteen years ago.
 This is only one instance, however, of the mental picture gallery of this class of men that Judge Back carries with him every time he goes into court. First as prosecuting attorney and since as judge he has looked upon hundreds of this type, but few, if any, who have ever been viewed by him in court escape Identification under his surprising scrutiny.
 As @ general proposition, being lden- tified as having previously been Iiefore the court does not help this class to get a minimum sentence F1etpher's case was different, though He not only agreed that he had been up once before, but also was honest enough to say that he wanted to go to jail, being a mill operative who could not get work after trying earnestly to do so. He was given & sentence of thirty days.

A special Worcester despatch to Boston paper Thursday evening was as follows Skin sold to Dr. Walter .. Seeley by a young woman whose identity is kept secret was grafted on the arms and back of Eugene Bonneville of Putnam, Conn; who was brought here or.treatment of se- were burns, 1t became known today Bonneville was brought here and placed under the care of Dr. Seeley at the home of MT. and Mrs. Edmond Basinet, relatives of his, after a pre- vlous attempt at skin grating had failed. The second gives promise of being successful"
 MT. Bonneville underwent a re- markahle skin grating operation at his home in this city, where he is employed in Seder's store, a few weeks ago, following unsuccessful attempts to cure burns that he received when a lamp exploded at his home one Sunday night last fall, spraying fire and oil over his clothing.
 The first skin grating operation, also performed by Dr. Seeley, was regarded as remarkable one, and at that time nephew of Bonneville gave more than 100 square inches of skin from his thighs that his uncle might be we'll It is evident that this first operation was not as successful as it was at first believed that it would be.
 About two weeks ago, MT. Bonneville went to Worcester that he might be under the immediate care of pr. See ley, who has come to take more than an ordinary interest in this particular case. His patients burns were very severe, covering practically the en- tire area of the back from neck to waist line, Gs well as considerable portion of the surface of the arms.
