WITNESSES TELL
 OF HIGH SPEED OF
 HAWES' DEATH CAR
Some Believe It Was Going Mile a Minute When
 Crash Game

|
 That the automobile in which Alma Best was driven to her death was go- i ing at reckless speed. was the testi-
 mony of several with esses in the criminal superior court this morning
 when the trial of Isaac W. Hawes of Milford was resumed before Judge Futile and a jury. Hawes is charged. with Inanslaughter as a result of the ride which ended so nagieaf1y in Ups per Stepney last October
 Deputy Sheriff Stephen Hayes, wIlJ l lives only a short distance from the scene, said he saw the car swerye from the road and careen into the pa asture. There was a loud noise just before the accident as if the fnuffIer of tl1e car was open. The witness a 1soE thought some attempt was made to apply brakes.
 Charles A. Hubbe1 of Htepney said the machine was about a half mile 1 from him when he first saw it. He < estimated that the car travelled this
 distance in 30 seconds. John Hinck- < ley of Stepney thought the car was | going SO miles an hour just before l the accident.
 After several witnesses had given their ideas about the distance the l car travelled, Judge Futile criticised tllE state for not having more accur- 1 ate testinaony on this point The Icourt said it wasf ridiculous if the state cou1dn't prove the distance by more competent with esses. The States attorney said he didn't intend 1 to rely entirely upon these witnesses.
 The trial was unfinished at press I1 hoI14-

ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.

Hats of every size and description are shown. Miss Katherine Brierton has charge of the local store and under her direction number of the very latest styles in hats have been fash toned. It is the aim of the store to offer distinctive models to the public at as reasonable a price as possible. All Of the fashionable colors have been employed in charming combi- nations. The newest dressy models speak of reversion to the quaintly elaborate hat styles of the Rocco and First Empire periods.
 The beauty of the large assortment is that there are no two hats alike. Everything in the line of shapes, rib- bons, flowers, feathers and fancies in addition to the big line of trimmed hats can be found at the store. Par tfcularly dainty are the misses hats and those for the little folks.
 The tall side trimming now so pop uIar is obtained in many ways, by the pIumes of the ostrich, by long loops of ribbon and velvet by deftly arranged flowers and by a hundred different artifices So charming and varied are the hats so strictly ssup to the minute in style, that the visi- tor to the store finds it, hard to make a choice of the one she likes best. However, it is impossible to fully describe what the eye can tell at once and which a trip through this store will illustrate.

Judge Curtis in the superior court this afternoon handed down decisions in two motions made in the case mat ter of Attorney Alfred c. Baldwin of Shelton against Emma R. G. Baldwin of Shelton. Attorney Baldwin want ed a modification of the order re- gardfng the custody of the minor children, who are now with the mother The court ruled that Attor- ney Baldwin may see the children be- tween the ages of seven and IS years on the first and third Saturday and Sunday of each month The child who is older than 15 shall have the option of going to his father or re- maining away
 The second decision given by the court was relative to Mrs Baldwin's motion for aIimony for the support of her children She is already get ting $50 month but Judge Curtis al- lows her $55 additional for the chill dren's support. The use of the house which Attorney Baldwin allows his family is valued at $50 a month so the court rules that this amount shall be deducted from the $55.
 Mrs. Baldwin recently obtained a divorce on the ground of cruelty and since then there has been consider able litigation regarding aIimony.
