GILLES GIRL NEARLY
 DROWNED AT WATCH HILL
Attorneys Make This Point in Their
 Arguments for Defense.

The jury in the case of B. w. Giles vs. Connecticut company, for $3,000 damages, received the case here in the superior court on Thursday afternoon at 314 o'clock, after the early part of the day had been occupied with the ar guments. At 4.30 Judge Williams call ed them into court and finding that they were not ready to report on a yer dict, dismissed them to returne again this morning for further deliberation.
 In making the arguments for the de- fense, the attorneys for the railroad devoted considerable time to dis cussion of what bearing upon the health of Miss Giles there might be in the fact that she was nearly drowned at Watch Hill one summer since the railroad accident, going under for three times, and only being resuscitated with great difficulty after she had been brought ashore. One of the attorneys who had been looking ever the account book of Dr. J. J. Donohue, while Attor- ney Shields was arguing for the plain- tiff also called attention to two pages that had been cut out, he said and were the pages which, according to the in dex as he made it. had contained the charges on the Giles account. The Giles account shown to the court was in another part of the book. While the jury was in conference Thursday aft ernoon they asked to be shown a cal endar on which the date of the acci- dent would be shown.

STONINGTON CAN EASILY
 RAISE st,ooo NEEDED
For Fund for Centennial Celebration of
 the Battle.


 It is anticipated that between now and August, 1914, Stonington will not have much difficulty in raising the $1,000 called for by the conditions in the bill just passed by the senate ap propriating a like sum for the celebra- ton of the tooth anniversary of the battle of Stonington. With the various organizations that have undertaken to raise funds toward the amount, the $1,000 and more too will undoubtedly be at the disposal of the celebration committee. Those interested in the coming celebration, while they would not have been very much displeased if the appropriation had been larger, are feeling pretty good about the ac- tion taken in the matter by the gen eraI assembly, It should be noted that the appropriation is made, not to the borough, bur to the town, presumably because it is a matter in which the town as a whole will be greatly inter ested. There is no doubt but that most of the work of preparation for the cele- bration will fall upon the borough peo- pie. but it is understood that the CO., operation of other parts of the town will be asked and welcomed. All parts of the town sent men to fight in the battle of Stonington, and by the same token all will be interested in the cele bration.
