Norwich bulletin., 1913-04-10

few weeks teacher of the school at Putnam Heights. was placed in the care of the court probation officer for period of six months.
 Mrs. Morrarty's appearance in court followed an assault which she made upon T. B. Seekins last Saturday aft ernoon, and the affair has an associa- tion with Mrs. Morrarty's resignation as teacher at the school.
 The assault took place on. the high way near her home, in the eastern part of the town. She accosted MT. SeelSins, accusing him. according to his story of being responsible for the loss of her place as teacher Mir. Seek ins claims that she attempted to strike him in the face, but he prevented her doing so. After some controversy Mrs. Morrarty, he says, made a demand that he pay her 25 cents for medicine which he had borrowed from her home and that as he was de1ving in his coin purse for the money Mrs: Morrarty swfped him with her hand striking hirn in the face.
 Attorney Charles L. Torrey, secre- tary of the town school committee, made statement to the court that Mrs. Morrarty was mistaken in her belief that the cause of her resigna- tion was due to any interference by or suggestion from MT Seekins. He sai1 that the resignation had been requested solely on the grounds of representa- tions made to the school committee by the superintendent of schools as to Mrs. Morrarty's qualih- cations for holding her position and methods of conducting the school.
 It was also brought forth that since Mrs Morrarty's resignation as teacher had been accepted that she had her self interfered with the work of the school-first, by failing to deliver the keys of the building until a demand had been made upon her by the super intendent of schools, thereby delaying the opening of the school until o'clock of the afternoon of the first day that the new teacher was supposed to be in charge: second, by twice since then visiting the school and so con- ducting herself there as to be an an noyance.
 A stipulation relative to the proba- tionary period of six months under which Mrs Morrarty was released by the court is that she shall not in any way disturb the school of which she was formerly teacher.
