Old Time Compassion Dead
''GdI'' Ford Worked s.at Case'' In New Haven for Over 30 Years-Was
 Civil War veteran

Word comes from New Haven today of the death of Gilbert A. w Ford, who died in the Grace hospital there after an illness of several weeks The deceased is almost as well known here in the city of his residence having often been entertained by members of the Elias Howe Post, G. A R., and was warmly received upon his sew era1 appearances at local theatres with the .'Old Soldier F'iddlers' g company of which he was a member. His death will cast a shadow of regret among the veterans and others who knew him so well.
 Of his wonderful life and death the New Haven Courier-Journal today said:
 one of the oldest printers in this city, occurred yesterday at Grace hospital, after an illness of several weeks.
 Ford was well known in this city, having worked on the old Palladium for over thirty years, and he was at one time keeper of the Beacon light on Long Wharf.
 He was born in Albany, N. r., in 1885. He went to work on the Pal ladium in 1859.
 During the Civil War he saw ser vice with the 27th c. ", and during the Battle of Gettysburg was wound ed, and lay almost fer day on the battlefield.
 Following an accident in which he broke his collarbone, he gave up the printing trade and joined the com pany known as she "Old Soldiers, ' FiddIers Co.,, a WMaRdeville act in which he played the bones"
 They travelled all over the United States and it was on one of these trips that he was taken i'll in Los Angeles. from which place, he return ed to New Haven early in May last.
 He was a member of Admiral FSoote Post Quinnipiac Lodge, I. O. o. F., and Hiram Lodge, A. F. and A. M.
 The funeral will be held from the chapel of Hayes & Pierce, 1097 Chapel street, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

man in the manner promised was not produced, the evidence should have been withdrawn from the jury in the charge.
 The state claimed to have shown that the defendant had formerly lived with the CavaIfero woman iii Chicago, that she was not his wife and that she ran away from him there and came to Bridgeport after some dis agree ement. The testimony referred to was admitted over the objection of all the defendants. It was properly ad- in1tted as against the objection of this defendant upon the promise by the states attorney to connect it with the defendant in the manner claimed, if the defendant was using the woman as 8 source of profit in Chicago and she left him those facts, would have 8 bearing upon the question of a, mo- tive for the killing by the defendant for they would tend to show knowi- edge on her part that he was engaged in a pernicious and criminal traffic, the disclosure of which might lead to his arrest and punishment. But after the state failed to connect him with such traffic in Chicago the evil dence ought to have been withdrawn from the jury in the charge. It must have had a tendency to prejudice the jury against all the defendants and was likely if not withdrawn to harm the defendant. The fact that the states undertaking to connect the de- fendant with the illegal traffic was made in the absence of the jury did not remove the harnfulness of the admission of the evidence. The great CT part of the evidence in most crhn- ina1 trials Is offered and admitted without it's purpose being stated in presence of the jury. They assume from it's admission that it has some bearing on the case and in the present one it would be but natural for them to understand that it's purpose was to connect the defendants with the traf- fc indicated. There was error and a new trial is granted.''

rescued from drowning at Woodmont yesterday afternoon by Frank Kimb1e and Arthur Miles when he sank ex- hausted after a long swim about 50 yards off shore. The three young men inmates of the K. G. c. cottage had been out swimming for some time when they decided to come ashore. They took last dive from a float about 300 feet off shore and started to swim in. Suddenly Gunnerson sank and he would undoubtedly have drowned if his companions had not seen him go gasping to the surface. They secured holds on Gunnerson and assisted him to dry land.

TRIAL MARRIAGES IN N. Y.
Court Compelled to Grant AnnuIIment
on Request Where Either Party
TO Contract Is Minor.

New York, Nov. 11.-They have
trial marriages in New York. The
law of the Empire state provides for
marrying on probation, the marital tie
to be dissolved by the courts if the
venture proves unsatisfactory. SUI
preme Court Justice Samuel Green
baum went further and declared that
New York licenses trial marriages for
children.
True, the august statutes do not re-
fer to trial marriages specifically. The
law in question, as severely con-
demned by several prominent jurists,
provided that a marriage contracted
by minors, or when one of the parties
is minor, whether with or without
the consent of the parents or guardian
of the minor, shall be annulled by the
court when application for such an
nullment is made by the minor party
To obtain the legal annullment it is
not necessary to set forth grounds
why the marriage was not a success.
Nor is it necessary for both parties
