TWO WIS WILL BE WITNESSES
State Gets Court to Continue Hearing for d Week-Wife No. Rebers When Loan Is Not Paid-NIissing Engineer Had Walking Typhoid.

Granting the request of the prose- cutor, the court continued until next Monday the hearing in the case of John Czuba formerly of this place, who was arraigned in Waterbury this morning on the charge of bigamy. The attorney for the state claimed to have strong evidence against the accused but he was unable to get his witnesses into court this morning. Hence the pustponement of the hearing. There is consderab ble local interest in the case as the Czubas well known in Plainville. Wife No. 1 lives with her children on Canal street and it was through her efforts that the arrest on a bigamy charge was made. For over a year the couple have not lived together and the police have been worried considera ble by the local woman in her efforts to force him to contribute to- her support. Cuba was in court on several occasions for non support, but difficulty was experienced in conVicting him as he expressed a Willingness to pay his Wife's living eX penses providing she would live with him. Instead she preferred to re- | main With her children, Cuba going to Bristol to live.
 A short time after the separation, the authorities claim, Cuba engaged a young Forestville girl to keep house for him subsequently marrying her. When Wife No. 1 brought him into court, Wife No. , furnished a bond of s2OO for his release and also paid ex- penses incident to his trial. She was angered because he failed to reim purse her and for the past two months i 1,o time.
 l Czuba has been living in Waterbury | for several weeks and the police of that city were finally asked to arrest him. It is said that both wives will 1 join in prosecuting him and they will be the principal witnesses when the case comes up for trial. Had Walking Typhoid. Suffering with typhoid fever, Fred erick Tauffin, a New Haven road en- gineer, who caused considerable talk in railroad circles when he deserted a train In Plainville last Tuesday, has been found in the Waterbury hospi tai. He is in a serious condition and his relatives and friends are worried over his illness.
 Tauffin's action in leaving a train, WhlCn was Tn ms CIdTEe, mas lew pre- cedents in railroadng and for days he was freely criticised even by his fel- low Workmen, who were not aware that he was ill.
 According to physicians now at tending him the disease must have been we'll developed several days be- fore he was received at the hospital and it is believed that while suffering
 
 his illness, the engineer abandoned his train.
 Tauffin, before leaving, told his fire men that he had decided to quit the job. He threw his Overalls and gloves into the fire and while the fire men protested against his leaving the train before completing the run, he donned his street clothes and depart ed. The train was held here until an- other engineer could be sent to Plain vile from New Haven.
 His erstwhile associate heard noth- ing from him until the news of his ill., ness at the Waterbury hospital reached them. The engineers wife lives in Danbury and it is thought that he was on his way to that city when he collapsed, necessitating his re- moval to the hospital.
