BENJAMIN PUMERANTz IS FACING PERJURY CHARGE
Placed on Trial in Criminal Superior
 Court on Tuesday Afternoon.

Benjamin Pumerantz of New London was put to plea in the criminal super. ior court in New London. Tuesday morning on the charge of perjury. He pleaded not guilty.
 Pumerantz is accused of making false statements on the witness stand while testifying during the trial of his brother Nathan BSlmerantz, on the charge of arson in the criminal su- perior court in Norwich. February II, 1915.
 The charge of perjury against Ben- jamin Pumerantz Is a sequel to the trial and acquittaI of his brother, Na- than, on the charge of arson. Nathan was charged with setting fire to his clothing store in the Shea building in Bank street, New London. Saturday night. December 13 1915. The fire com pleteiy destroyed the store and caused considerable damaged to the building.
 Nathan Pumerantz was arrested and tried and after a trial of several days, a jury returned with a verdict of not guilty. His brother. Benjamin Pumerantz was one of the principal witnesses for the defense.
 The issue of the trial hinged to a large extent on whether a door lead ing to the cellar under the Pumerantz store was accessible. The state had introduced testimony to show that Ma than Pumerantz had gone. through the
 
 f1ammable material there.
 When called to the stand for the de- fense. Benjamin Pumerantz testified that there was shelves and table nailed and placed against the door so that it could not be used. The infor- nation against him claims that this testimony caused the acquittal of his brother and that the testimony was false.
 The trial of Pumerantz was started at o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Pum- erantz is being defended by Attorneys John c. Geary. Philip 2. Hankey and Warren B. Burrows and Attorney Thomas E. TFoland is assisting State Attorney Hull Immediately after the jury was impane1Ied State Attorney Hull and counsel for the defendant agreed upon certain matters such as the admission -of the information or which Nathan Pumerantz was tried l the entire disposition of the case thai Benjamin Pumerantz was a witness for the defense, and other matters which would tend to shorten thu trial.
