CANTERBURY SUPPORT CASE. Mrs. Tonnison Gets Verdict in Case Brought Against Her by conservator or Jerusha Craig.


 The people of the town of Canter- bury have been considerably interested in the case of Jerusha Craig, the elder ly woman who, prior to his death in August, 1909, kept house for Nicholas D., Powers in the home owned by him In the southwesterly part of the town. At his death his brothers, who were his only heirs, deeded the small house and tract of land which he owned to Jerusha Craig. Soon after she deeded the property to Mrs. Caroline Tonni
 son, a neighbor. who had done much for MT. Powers, prior to his death, re- serving to herself life lease of tho house. In return for the conveyance, Mrs. Tonnison agreed to provide and furnish proper and sufficient food, clothing, medical attendance and nurs- ing for Jerusha Craig during her life.
 Ffom the time that this arrange ment was made Mrs. Tonnison took care of Miss Craig, as the contract pro- vided, until some time in February, 1910. At this time some of the neigh b0rs began to talk to Miss Craig and she became dissatisfied with her situa- tion and refused to take the food which Mrs. Tonnison provided for her. A communication from one of the neighbors to the board of selectmen caused them to take the matter up. and early in November, 1911, Mar shall J. Brink, first selectman of the town, had Miss Craig transferred to the town farm, where she has been kept ever since, at the expense of the town.
 The selectmen asked Mrs Tonnison to take care of Miss Craig, and she re- piled that she was ready to do so at any time, if they would let her do it as provided by the contract, and as she had done in the past, but she refused to support Miss Craig at the arms- house. Accordingly in December, 1911, MT. Frink, who had meanwhile had himself appointed copservator of Miss Craig, brought suit against Mrs. Ton nison, claiming S350 damages, for her failure to porvide for his ward, Jerushe. Craig, under the contract
 The case was tried out in the su- perior court for Windham county be-
 fore Judge Gager and a jury at Put
 nam about two weeks ago. After a which MT. Frink and the various I neighbors of Mrs. Tonnison, who l claimed to have furnished food to Miss | Craig, because of her dire need, testi- | fled for the plaintiff, while the defend
 ant was the chief witness for her side | of the case. The jury brought in a | verdice for the defendant which car | ried with it costs to the amount of | $7O.47 which First Selectman Brink | will have to see paid
 The case was hotly contested and
 aroused much interest, since many of
 the townspeople were of the opinion
 that the action of the selectman was
 putting the town to great needless ex- I pense. The outcome of the case seems
 to have justified this belief Harry E. 1 Back and Charles E. Searles were at-
 torneys for Selectnan Frink and
 Brown & Perkins of Norwich repre-
 sented the defendant. Mrs. Tonnison.

THE INVALUABLE HIT.

If you're starting fiction writiaw And you want to make a hit, Ere word you are inditing, Just pause and think bit. Your receipts will be just seru, If you do not use your head; Just write this about your hero: He saw red" Do not say that he was hopping Or that anger filled his eyes; Those things never set one copping Out a literary prize; Swiftly come both fame and glory All your obstacles have fled. If you say this in your story: He saw red.' Let no other rule obsess you Cast the other guides away; Let this one sweet thought possess
 you
 Keep 1t in your mind each day; Never speak of angry passion Such work brings you in no bread; Say in ultra modern fashion: He saw red"
