FELL 30 FEET.
Linenan Charles Myers Slips from
 Pole at Central Village.

Charles Myers of North Main street, hneman in the employ of the Daniel son and Plainf1eld Gas and Electric company, was severely injured about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon when he fell about 30 feet from pole upon which he had climbed in Central Village, about opposite the town hall. Just what happened to him remains uncer- tain, and his own recollection was hazy on the point Friday after he had been brought to his home here. He had climbed the pole to pull out some plugs. Whether his grip was loosened by the prevailing gale, his spurs pulled out of the pole, or whether he received an electric shock, remains uncertain, but he took dead fall and was rendered unconscious for a few minutes.
 Occupants of an automobile that passed directly afterwards paid no at tention to him, it is claimed by wiz nesses, but 6, woman who saw the ac- cIdent from 9 nearby house gave the alarm. The injured man was carried to the office of Dr. James L. Gardner, who afterwards took Mr. Myers home in his car Dr. Gardner found that Mir Myers had suffered severely from shock; that his right elbow was se- verely injured, probably fractured, al- though this could not be determined without the use of an x-ray: that his Ierr foot was injured and badly spraiu- ed and that there was a cut in the head, though there was no evidence of 3. fracture of the skull.
 MT. Myers has been in the employ or the local company for a number of years and is an experienced and care fnl workman

CHARGE NOT SUSTAINED
Ernest R. Allen Not Guilty of Larceny

In the city court Friday morning Ernest R. Allen, night host1er at the New Haven roads roundhouse in this city, was presented on the charge of larceny in connection with the taking of a number of wrenches, hammers, cold chisels and other tools to the value of $7.S5. He pleaded not guilty and was found not guilty. Agent George Woodward of the New Haven road. who worked up the case. stated that he had received complI ints that tools had been missed and he found the property in Aliens locker. Employees of the road testified that it was the custom to take tools from the tool house and to return them there after using, but they had formerly kept ed that the tools found in Aliens locker were such as he would use in his work. Allen told the court he kept the tools in his locker so he would know where they were when he wanted to use them or to supply en- zines.
 The court found there was not suffi- cient @ 'fdence to convict. and Allen was found not guilty and disr'1argad.
