Forgery Trial Next Week.

In the superior court at New Lon
don on Thursday Judge ShumWay
heard motion by Attorney Roderick
M. Douglass to continue until next
term the case against Ralph Ricardino
alias James Peter, charged with for
gerry in this city. Attorney Douglass
stated that he was assigned to defend
the accused, but that he was unable
to try the case this term because of
illness, in addition to which he had
been unable to make preparation. He
felt that under the circumstances he
would not be able to do justice to the
case. He had also not had time to
summon witnesses.
Judge Shumway thought that coun-
sci for the defense should have some
time for preparation of the case which
should, however, be disposed of this
term and assigned it for trial next
Thursday morning
