rumor to the effect that MT. Stevens was candidate for the position which MT. Lewis is to vacate next July. Judge George G. Griswold made a similar statement. sE..
 Because of the fact that he will be- gin his new duties as collector of taxes in the spring of next year, MT. Lewis will be ineligible to reappoint- ment to the court position which he now holds, the law on that point be- ing that any person liable to testify in court cannot act as judge. Even though this were not true, it. Is i'm probable that the recently elected town officer would seek renomination, owing to his increased duties. Dur- ing the past year, he tried only one case, that being the one in which Judge Griswold testified against Elmer Annis, whom he caught ,.s stealing chickens at his henneries. This was on the first day of the present year.
 Asked whether or not he would &C., cept renomination to the judgeship if he were named, Judge Griswold stated that, as yet he was undecided. When his term expires in July, he will have served four years, being the successor to Judge Willard I. filling of Ken sington. The consensus of opinion about town is that he has fulfilled the requirements of the office in con- scientious and able manner and, with due respect for the records of his predecessors he is considered the best judge who ever held court in Berlin
 It is within the authority of the judge of the court, to appoint the prosecuting attorney. Soon after he accepted a second term. Judge Gris- wold named First Selectman William Fl. Gibney to act in that capacity. The latter did not accept, however, but agreed to hold the position until such time as the judge made another ap- pointment. which was never done. Mr. Gibney's capability is unquestioned.
