POLICE CAPTAIN HAVEN
 ASKS FOR INVESTIGATION,
Desires to Clear New London Depart msnt of Censure in Hussey Case Will Be Heard Tuesday.


 Further investigation by the New London police to determine facts in the death of Alonzo Hussey the Provi- dence man who died Sunday night in ( cell at the police station. in New London. as a result of fractures of the skull, has been practically abandoned.
 A new feature of the mysterious case took birth Friday when Captain of Po- lice Haven made a request of the po- hce committee to conduct an investi- gation for the purpose of exonerating him from any blame in the failure of the police to apprehend the alleged assailants of Hussey and for the pur- pose of determining any laxity that might exist in the handling of matters of the police department. The request of Captain Haven is the result of a volume of censure of the police for not obtaining facts pertaining to the mys- tery and to the open newspaper crit icism. According to Captain Haven, 1t has appeared in print that the po- lice were so lax in endeavoring to fer ret out the mysetry that Coroner Franklin Brown was forced to call up- on Sheriff Tubbs and that the police were inclined to let the case drop on the theory that murder was not com mitted, holding that Hussey died as a result of fracture produced by a fall.
 Chairman Ryan of the police com mittee stated Friday afternoon that he would conduct the hearing, as request ed by Captain Haven, Tuesday even ing at o'clock at police headquar- ters.

BOTH CLAIM ELECTION BY RECOUNT
Selecman Sahes Attorney Figures Him Elected Now By Votes Instead of in Stonington Contest-Counse for J. w. Chesebro Claims His Man Elected By About 635 to 632 Votes Over Stahle

recount, Attorney Rathbun brings his client in elected by better figures than the official returns gave. On the re- vised total he makes the figures stand Stahle 653, Chesebro SAP. This comes about through allowing that 46 of the disputed 106 are valid votes and that 1 32 of them ought to be counted for the republican and IA of them for the dem ocratic candidate for selectman.
 Attorney Rathbun said after the hearing Friday that the 50 ballots which he claimed were invalid were divided into F different classifications according to the various ways in which | they were marked or unmarked or otherwise mutilated to make them in valid. Attorney McGuire said he had | IS different varieties of illegal bal lots in the 88 that he claimed were void and not entitled to be counted Of the entire number of 106 disputed between 50 and 65 are republican bal l lots, 1t is stated.
 l In presenting the case before Judge Shumway each attorney went through the entire lot of 106, each one of which had been numbered, and the reason why each ballot was considered valid or invalid was given.
 In making his arguments, Attorney McGuire insisted upon adherence to the statute requirements regarding the way ballots should be marked In the arguments made by Attorneys Rath- bun and Tanner they quoted opinion to sustain their contention that marks that plainly indicated the intent of the voter should be taken into consid- eration. Attorney Mcclure took ten minutes for a final argument before the hearing closed at 4.30 o'clock. The judge indicated that he might have another time for further argument. The ballots were left in the hands of Judge l Shumway for his inspection.

SHORT CALENDAR DAY
 IN SUPERIOR COURT
Motions Heard-Foreclosure Granted on East Lyme Property-Cases As- signed.

At short calendar session of the superior court here Friday morning, Judge Shumway heard the motions and arguments in nine cases.
 Judgment of foreclosure to Savings Bank of New London against Richard o. Libby and Lillie D. Libby of Nor wich, on a plot of land at East Lyme which had been mortgaged to secure one note of $1,20O dated July 25, 1906, and another of $1,O00 dated Feb. II, 1907. Judgment was given in the sum of S2,251.20 with first Monday in March as the date of redemption.
 The court was informed that the case of Annie M. Sheridan vs. Mystic Valley Water company had been set tied out of court.
 There was argument on the motion of Corporation Counsel Abel P. Tanner to set aside the verdict in the case of Mary Wells vs. City of New London. Last week the jury gave Mrs. Wells $500.
 Attorneys George c. Morgan and Daniel M. Cronin, counsel for the wo- man, argued against the motion. Judge Shumway took the papers.
 In Davis 6 Co. vs. Norwich Water Power Co.,, Judge Shumway took the papers, after hearing on motion for more specific statement and argument of demurrer

Before Judge Milton W. Shumway the matter of the contested election for selectman in Stonington came up, with Attorney Frank l.. Mcclure ap- bearing for the petitioner, who Is J. w. Chesebro, the defeated democratic candidate for the office, and Attorney Herbert W. Rathbun appearing for the republican, Henry Stahle, whose cleo tion Mir. Chesebro challenges.
 Since the ballot boxes were opened by order of the superior court judge and recounted, both attorneys have been given opportunity to look over the 106 which they have placed in the disputed class and to figure out what effect it would have upon the result of the election, if the ballots they are willing to concede are legal and valid could be counted as they should be. Of the 1o6 ballots which they have picked out as disputed, Attorney Me- Guire Is willing to concede that IS are valid ballots and should be count ed. but SS should not be counted for anybody. Mir. Rathbun finds only SO which are invalid.
 Of the IS mentioned Attorney Me- Guire would give to his client. Mir. Chesebro, and II to MT. Stahle. As the figures stood Chesebro 628 and Stahle 62l on the ballots that the att torneys agreed were, undisputed, this apportionment of the disputed ballots, If allowed, would upset the election of Selectman Stahle. giving him 632 votes 10 Mir. Chesebro's 635. In the October election when the moderator declared the total vote. he announced 651 votes for Stahle and 645 for Chesebro which was the vote upon which MT. Stahle was declared elected.
 From the way he apportions the votes to the two candidates after the

 Quo Warranto. There was argument of the motion that the quo warranto proceedings | alleging that he acted as a justice of the peace wrongfully, be quashed. Judge Shumway took the papers. At torney Morgan wanted $75 to cover the expense the plaintiff was put to.
