 John w. Tallmadge, an aged Civil war veteran, died yesterday at the Connecticut Hospital for Insane at Middletown, where he had been a patient for nearly year. He had been feeble for a long time and for several weeks ailments incident to advanced age had weakened him to such an extent that his death was not unexpected. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 from the home of his niece, Mrs. Walter Oldershaw of Broad street. The ser vices will be conducted by Rev. F. l.. Grant and will be private. Burial will be in West cemetery.

 Has Committed No Crime
 1T have committed no crime and I have to hang my head before no man. said William c. Hart this morning when asked to comment on the action of County Sheriff Edward l.. Dewey in failing to reappiont him as a deputy. Mir. Hart's term as deputy sheriff expired last night and today, for the first time in many years, he lacks the authority of a po- lice officer. He had been a con- stable for several years prior to his appointment as sheriff. Hart's recent arrest and conviction in the police court in Bristol on the charge of delivering beer in a no N- cense town without the proper orders was given by Sheriff Dewey as req son for the local mans removal His successor has not been named.
 While he apparently feels that he was not given a square deal, MT. Hart was not inclined to talk about Sheriff
 
 quite so reticent, however, and they were free in expressing indignation over the sheriff's refusal to. reappO1nt him. MT. Hart has been recognized as a good officer for years and there is feeling in some quarters that conviction on so technical charge should not have been held against him by his superior.
 MT. Hart was elected constable 1--. f,1 I F,;I . consequently is not an officer today.

After a conference with Attorney McDon- l ! ough he agreed to remit the fines in the cases of all except Leonard, pro- viding the costs of the court were l paid. His offer was accepted. Besides their attorneys fees, each 1 of the young men had to pay nearly I $1O, the amount charged for their l prosecution.
 1 Lutes Also Settles.
 James A. Lutes, who was fined $10 and costs for refusing to show his li- l cense as an operator of a motor ve- hicle when a demand for the same was l made by Officer Philip Marine a few | weeks go, today withdrew his appeal to the superior court and through his attorney arranged to settle. The costs 1 in his case amounting to over SIS. Lutes was to have been put to plea l in the upper court this afternoon but l he changed his mind and accepted the decision of the local justice.
 Morning After'' in Court.
