 SUNDAY
Fined SIO on Each of F Counts
Joseph Robilard Furnished Liqnor
 Illegally


 In the city court Monday morning Joseph Robilard plead guilty to l2 counts of furnishing liquor to persons to who the gift, sale or exchange of liquors is by law forbidden. He was sentenced to pay fine of Sl0 on each count and costs of sS.09 and in default was taken to jail. The police for some time have known that someone was furnishing liquor to so called black listed men in the north part of the city. Early Sunday morning Sergeant Hayes saw suspicious actions and called Captain Murray aud Patrolman Cordier. The officers lay hidden for three hours when finally their vigil was rewarded, Robilard was seen coming from a building and met a number of men near shed and pro- ducing a flask of whiskey gave each a drink. Among the number were the two men whose names are on the so called black list. The accused made frequent trips from the building and each time gave the waiting men a drink, No money was seen to change hands, and while the police believe that Robilard was acting in the inter. est of some other person he refused to tell anything about it claiming that he bought the liquor Saturday night and gave 1t to the mer.

COMPENSATION
 COMMISSION
Has Hearing in Putnam Superior
 Court Room
Claim of Mrs. P. B. Sibley for Death of
 Husband

Dr. James F. Donahue of Norwich, compensation commissioner of the sec ond district, sat upon the bench in the superior court room at Putnam Mon. day morning for a hearing on the claim of the widow of the late Sheriff Preston B. Sibley for compensation for his death which occurred J anuary last. Mir. Sibley received injuries by being thrown down while attempting to board trolley car January End last at Danielson It is claimed that he was was injured while in the performance of his duties. A similar claim is made against the county. Attorney Fred erick NJ. Williams of Waterbury, who is compensation commissioner for the | fifth district, sat with Commissioner 1 Donahue. He stated that he was pres- ent as legal advisor to the commission CT. Mrs. Sibley was represented by Attorneys Charles k. Searls of Put nam and Harry k. Back of Danielson, Charles L. Torrey represented Wind ham county and William A. King of Willimantic represented Attorney General John H. Light, who was un- able to be present.
 MT. Searls stated that the matter would be considered as two distinct cases and that he had agreed with the counsel for the county that the claim against the county should not be taken up until the claim against the state had been disposed of, which in effect would be that if the claimants are suc- cessful in maintaining their claim against the state then there would be no proceeding against the county.
 Attorney King stated that the state is raising the purely legal question of whether the county and not the state is liable, if liability exists. It was in- formally agreed to the facts but to make them part of the record several witnesses were heard who testified to seeing Mir. Sibley thrown down, to his illness and subsequent death from cerebral hemmorhage. Also that he was in the performance of his duty as sheriff when the accident occurred. It was shown that at the time he was in- jured he was on his way to Putnam where he had an appointment to meet the states attorney for the purpose of having the bill for board of prisoners at Windham county jail approved by the attorney as the statute requires. It was agreed that if compensation was awarded that it would be the limit that the act allows for death.
 Briefs are to be submitted in three weeks. Commissioner Williams ask ed counsel to treat broadly in their briefs the points of law as to whether a county sheriff comes within the defi- hilton of "employe" under the com ed to public office is under contract of employment; and whether the fact that the legislature has provided how a county sheriff shall be elected makes him a state officer.
 It is apparent that the question of whether or not compensation shall be allowed devolves to a great extent on the questions of law as to whether Sheriff Sibley was an employe and if so the employe of whom--the county or the state. It is anticipated that the question will finally be decided by the Supreme Court of Errors.
