MERELY TONSILITIs.
Danielsen Coast ArtiIIerynan Has Not
Diphtheria, it is Found.

All alarm that might have been felt
over the supposed discovery of a case
OF diphtheria at the state coast artil-
lery encanprnent at Fort H. G. Wright,
Fishers Island. is dissipated by the an
nouncement that the sickness is not
diphtheria after all. 1t is simply a
severe case of tonsilitis.
The patient is a member of the
Thirteenth company of Danielson.
When his sickness was diagnosed as
diphtheria word was sent to the health
department at New London for anti
toxin and it was sent oHer. There was
considerable uneasiness in the camp at
the news that there was a case Of
diphtheria there.
1t has been decided that the soldiers
will not come to New London Satur-
day on the steamer Restless after ell.
1t has been planned to charter the
steamer, but it has now been arranged
to have the troops come on the gov
eminent steamer. The hour of arrival
has not been fixed, as arrang ements
for the special train to carry the SOL
diers from the western end of the state
home have not been completed. When
the hour for the departure of the spe-
cial has been fixed, the hour of arrival
of the troops in New London will be
timed so as to allow of a short parade.

NORWICH CASE BEFORE
COMMON PLEAS COURT.
John Poreda on Trial on Appeal from
City Court.

John Poreda of this city was placed
on trial in the criminal court of COM
mon pleas in New London Thursday
morning, charged with intoxication
and resisting an officer. The case was
appealed from the city court here.
Poreda was arrested last January by
OFFICER Matthew Delaney for intoxica-
ton and when the officer attempted to
take him into custody Poreda resisted.
Inc accused was given a hearing in
the city court and found guilty. from
which an appeal was taken.
Thursday morning, through a Polish
interpreter, Poreda pleaded not guilty
to both charges. The police officer was
the first witness and told of seeing the
accused stagger along the street above
the Preston bridge between two COM
panlons. Later he came upon the three
further up the street, and Poreda was
staggering and hollering. They were
blocking the sidewalk, and when he
told them to move on the accused
pushed him with both hands, saying:
oursef move, yourself move' He
took him into custody after some diff
Guilty and with the assistance of two
men Poreda was placed in a wagon
and taken to the police station while
ne was yelling all the way. At the
police station the captain of police had
TO help put him into a cell
The case occupied all day and was
not finished when court adjourned.
Attorney Roderick M Douglass an
peared for the accused and the prose-
cutting attorney was assisted by City
Attorney John D. Hall of this city.
Capt. D. J. Twomey, Sergt. John H.
Kane and Policeman Michael Carroll
are witnesses in the case.

MUST STAND TRIAL
IN SUPERIOR COURT
Jacob Jones, Who Used Knife in New
London, Is Bound Over.

After being presented in the police
court at New London on Thursday
morning on the charge OF assault with
intent to kill, probable cause was
found against Jacob Jones, a negro
and he was held for trial in the su-
perior court in September. He went
to Jail to await trial as he could not
furnish a bond.
Jones was one of a party who came
to New London Wednesday afternoon
en- route to Newport News, Va after
having delivered a lot of horses in
England, the negroes returning by
way of Montreal. He was charged
with assaulting John Johnson, another
negro of the party of hostlers, with
the intention of killing him.
The negroes told conflicting stories
of what happened, but as Johnson S
recital was much more probable than
was that Jones and was borne out
in some extent by circumstances, it
was believed by the court. Johnson
said he was on the boat for New
York Wednesday evening lying down
when Jones came aboard and wanted
something to drink or the money to
get it with. Neither was given to him.
Then he got into a fight with a
white man on the boat and Johnson
interfered to stop the conflict. Then
Jones resented the interference OF
Johnson and pulling a pocket knife
he cut johnson in the head.
Jones declared that he did not
ask Johnson or anyone else for
something to drink nor did he re-
quest the gift of money. He said
that the gang had been drinking and
gambling and that Johnson and COM
panions set upon Jones and knocked
him down, robbing him of $50 and
stealing his trousers. To defend him
self Jones said he cut Johnson.
Jones had been drinking he said,
considerably, and did not remember
being arrested nor whether the trouble
was early in the evening. He said he
only knew he had been arrested when
he woke up Thursday morning.
In the scrimmage to arrest Jones,
the negro cut officers David Maggie
in the thigh. The wound is quite deep
but it is not believed to be serious.
Motion to Set Aside.
A motion to set aside the verdict and
for a new trial was filed on Thursday
in the case of Loretto Roma against
the Thames Specialties company
The motion is made on the ground
that the verdict is against the evidence.
1t will be argued today before Judge
Gardiner Greene at the short calendar
