Kenehan rode as much as a distance
of one-eighth of a mile at a speed as
high as 25 miles per hour.
Mr.. Searls said the state had no
desire to convict an innocent man.
neither did the state claim that the
defendant had intended to kill the
child. The case, he said, stands on
the naked proposition as to whether
kenehan was exercising due care and
caution in accordance with the cir
cumstances surrounding the particu-
lar case. The state did not claim that
Kenehan was engaged in an unlawful
act when the occident occurred. The
state did claim that Kenehan was rid
ing recklessly under the circumstances
considering the highway, number of
people in the vicinity, etc, and that.
therefore, he was guilty of culpable
negligence.
At this point a recess Of an hour
was daclered.
Immediately court opened after the
recess, Attorney Cosgrovc, who was
associated in the defense with Judge
w. +. Woodward of Danielson, with
drew his motion asking the court TO
direct a verdict of not guilty.
ThereuDon Mr.. Searls made a stta-c
ment to the court during the coITsc
of which he said that during The re-
cess he had conferred with tne attOr-
neys for tho defense; that tho had

which action was taken.
In his comment, I"dEe Webb stated
that he felt the state attorney hao

might be known and carefully inves-

PAINE GIVEN 1s MONTHS.
But Court Clips Sentence to Ono Year
duplicates Another Young Man.

In the city court Tuesday morn
ing John Paine, arrested in Hartford
few days ago and brought back to
this city, pleaded guilty to three
counts charging the theft of automo-
bile tires from the Joy garage in this

bezzlement of $3.50 from NJ. R. JOY
Judge Geissler~ sentenced Paine to
serve four months on each of the
three counts charging larceny, and to
six months on the count charging en-
bezzlement, total Of Is months. Exc
cution Of sentence was suspended or
the Enforcement count, however, sc
sentence. He was taken to Jail dur
ing the morning.
Tho embezzlement charge was based
on his having collected S1650 due Mr.
Joy and failing to turn it over.
AS the result of confessions made
by Paine, Arthur Robitaille, connected
with another garage in the city, was
arrested On a charge of having re-
ceive6 stolen goods. He denies abso-
lutely any completely in the affair. He
was not put to plea when presented
in the city court Tuesday morning
the case being continued until Satur-
day morning. Mr.. Robitaille will be
represented by Ernest c. Morse as
counsel
1t is understood that Paine's revela-
tions to the police includes a list OF
articles which he stole from the Joy
garage and claims to have disposed
of to different persons. His statements
are under investigation.

Mystery Surrounds Bones Found
When Pike Barn Was Burned-En-
try Day at Brooklyn Fair-+ Contrasts
For Armery Remodelins Signed.

Coroner Arthur g. Bill. after an in
vestigation Of a fire that destroyed a
large barn on the Zeletus Pike place
in Canterbury near the border of
Brooklyn, has brought to his ONCE
here a number OF bones that may be all
that remains Of the body OF human
being, who may have met death when
the barn was burned last Friday night
after being struck by lightning.
1t is~ impossible TOT state positively
at this time that the bones are those
of a human Icing, but there ts very
good evidence tc indicate that such
is the case. In any event. they repre-
sent a mystery. n,
Coroner Bill said Tuesday after
noon that Mr.. Pike told him that no
animals were kept or known to be in
the part of the barn under which the
bones were found. A horse that met
death in the structure was at a point
far removed from where the bones
were found, resting in a position that
seemed to indicate that they were the
remains of what had been human
body.
No person was seen in the vicinity
of the barn about the time when it
was struck by lightning, about i've
o'clock last Friday afternoon. No per-
son, so far as is known, is missing
from the vicinity.
One theory is that some wayfErer
NAV have taken shelter from the storm
in the barn and that he was killed by
the bolt of lightning that set the barn
afire and which struck the barns not a
great distance from where the homes
were found.
If the bones are those of a human
being, it is also possible theoretically
that they may have been those of some
person who met death mysteriously
many years ago and that they have
since lain there. This, however, is
no more than one Of many conjectures
advanced to explain if possible how
Is the bones came to be there. Again
the bones may be those of an animal,
but the heat of the fire was so terrific
as to reduce the bones to such a state
as to make it impossible for anyone
but an anatomist to properly classify
them. 49,
Coroner Bill did not find skull, but
some of the bones looks as if they
might have come from a human leg. A
number Of bones are in the collec-
ton taken, some small, some large. Mr.
Bill will submit the bones for an ex-
animation.

KENEHAN CASE NoLLEp.
State Fails to Make Out Case Against
Providence Motorcyciist Charged
with MansIaushter.

=. In the superior court here early
Tuesday afternoon there was an
abrupt ending of the case of the state
VS.. Albert ]. Kenehan, 81, of Provi-
dence, charged with manslaughter in
causing the death of WASHES T. Tsa-
konas at Danielson in a motorcycle
accident on the morning of last Me-
mortal day. State Attorney Charles
E. Searls nolled the case explaining
to the court at length his reasons for
so doing. The case was begun before
Judge James H. Webb on Thursday of
last week, an adjournment being
taken from then Until Tuesday morn
ing.
The state resumed the laying in of
evidence at. the opening of court Tues
Day morning and concluded its side
OF the case soon after noon. At this
point the jury was temporarily dis

counsel for the defendant, then MAX
Ing motion that the court direct
a verdict of acquittal, or not guilty
on the ground that the state had fail
ed to make out q prima facie case
| against Kenehan.
1t does not seem, said Mr.. Cosgrove
that the state has made out or estab-
lished that there is a warrant to hold
kenehan for manslaughter, nor has
| there been any evidence submitted
that kenehan was violating a law OF
the state. There is no evidence OF
| Culpabie evidence on Kenehan's part
Whether rightly or wrongly, legally
or Illegally, there was a general un-
Outstanding that races were to be held
on that part of the highway on the
1 morning OF the accident, continued
Mr.. Cosgrove, and having that in mind
it Is presumed the people would ex-
ercise more than ordinary caution
| This fact would also have it's effect
! on Kenahan's state of mind, although
it is not admitted thereby that = hs
was driving rechlessly at high speed
or without caution. He could not be-
charged with any get-in-my- path-at
your own peril attitude. Races were
to be held and he was in a measure
justified in believing that people would
exercise extra care in crossing tbs
| highway. There had been no testi.
mony, Mr.. Cosgrove said, that Kene.
han had been driving at a SPECIFIC

ENTRY DAY.
Getting Ready For Brooklyn Fair
Rain Did Not Damage Track.

Windham County Fair officials were
not all displeased because the heavy
rain storm OF Tuesday was not day
late to cut in upon the first big day
of the sixty fifth exhibition at Brook
Ign. Tuesday was entry day at the
fair and a very busy one for the ocials.
There was the usual rush of entries
and the usual hustle of whipping the
fair into shape for the two big days
to follow.
The rain iuterferred with the COM
fort of those who were obliged to be
out on the grounds some of the time
and with those who had to bring en-
terprises to the fair. but they did their
work and the big show will be all
ready this morning.
Tuesday night. when practically all
of the exhibits were in place, the fair
gave evidence that 1t is going to be
all that the management has claimed
for It. Every department has a great
deal OF interest. Everything about
the fair is clean. 1t is a good old
fashioned fair living up to the best
traditions Of all that a cattle show
should be.
Horses for the speed classes have
been arriving at the fair grounds since
Sunday and there is now a good list on
the grounds to face the starter this
afternoon. The rain of Tuesday was
not sufficient to spoil the track for
trotting, but 1t did give it a good wet
ting down and the wind of the late
afternoon dried it out considerably. 1t
should be in good condition for the
events Of the afternoon.
