ONE YEAR IN JAIL FOR GARDNER
Voluntown Man Found Guilty of Con- siders Plea For Lenency-Case Against Leroy Morgan Nolled- ed-Crmina Term Adjourns Till January 28.

The jury in the trial of John F. 1 Gardner of Voluntown on the charge of manslaughter returned a verdict of guilty late Friday afternoon in the Hadlai A. Hull moved for sentence at once and after plea made for Gard ner by his counsel Thomas M. Shields, Judge ShumWay sentenced the pris- oner to one year in jail. The sentenc- ing Of Gardner was the concluding act of the court, which they adjourned to come in again for criminal business on the fourth Tuesday in January
 Arguments in the case against Gard ner for the killing of Eugene T. Fra zier of Voluntown were made on Fri day by his counsel. Attorneys Shields and Edmund w Perkins, and by States Attorney Hull, and Judge Shumway gave his charge, placing the case in the hands of the jury at 2.48. After two hours and ten minutes they reached a verdict and reported through Foreman George F. Adams that they found Gardner guilty as charged
 On the grounds that provocation for the assault had been given and that the prisoner had previously borne a good reputation Attorney Shields pleaded foreleniency for his client. The states attorney addressed the court saying that he did slot desire a heavy sentence to be imposed, but he thought it ought to be a states prison sentence. He disbelieved the stories of the as- sault which the prisoner had told, he said, and considered it proba 5le that the kick that broke Frazier's wind pipe had been given when he was ly- ing on the floor, and might have been given by a stamp of the heel. Sen tence might be IS years, but he did not ask for that.
 Good Reputation Counted.
 Judge Shumway in imposing sen- tence told Gardner that the appearance of Gardner's employers in the Vol untown mill to testify to his good character was a consideration which had weighed with him and moved him to make the sentence one year in jail.
 The judge then thanked the jury and discharged them and the criminal term of court was adjourned till Jan uary 23 in Norwich.
 It is understood on good authority that Gardner might have received a sentence of six months in jail if he had been willing on Thursday to plead guilty to simple assault, but he de- clined.

AT THE DAVIS.
Neil o'Rrien's Minstrels Before Big
 House.


 Neil O'Brfen and his minstrels played before a capacity house at the Davis theater on Friday evening, producing a ombination of pretty stage pictures, musical harmony, side splitting jokes and clever dancing that won enthusi- astfc commendation. O'Brien is won derfully clever impersonator of the shiftlesS, superstititious, altogether good for nothing darky. He is proba- ply the best blackface comedian in the country. Bert Williams is his only peer in this particular line of endeav- or.
 A bouquet of roses was presented to MT O'Brien by the Knights of Colum- bus. to which he made a characteristic speech, during which he intimated that his supply of speeches for flowers had been exhausted, but he had prepared a very nice speech for a gift of a gold handled umbrella which might be used on a future occasion.
 The entertainment started with the vocal numbers one has come to ex- pect in minstrel shows, W. H. Thomp- son, who has a remarkably fine voice, and Frank Furher doing the best in the singing line.
 Then came a somewhat disconnect- ed and altogether nonsensical skit. en- titled Following the Flag" in winch MT O'Brien impersonated Q colored soldier who has. attained the dignity of the title of General Nuisance 2 Some horsepiay, little real comedy. and variety of clever remarks were perpetrated
 The setting of the last act, intro ducing dancing and singing of higher type than at any other time in the performance. was beautiful. The back ground was a peach orchard in full bloom, with a myriad of electric lamps hidden away among the blssoms. It was a rarely effective bit of stage pie turing.
