New Britain herald., 1916-05-30


 suit brought by Enestino Gnazzo against Constable Philip Marino, an action through which the plaintiff hoped to collect s49 as a commis- sion on the sale of property owned by Marine. Gnazzo claims that it was through his efforts that the sale was made and he was entitled to the agents commission, Marine refused to pay and the suit resulted.
 The case was to have been heard a week ago but Gnazzo and his coun- sel, Attorney Daniel O'Keefe of New Britain, failed to make a nappearance. Consequently judgment was given to the defendant.
 An effort will be made by Attorney O'Keefe to have Judge w. J. Ma lone, counsel for Marine, agree to re- opening the suit, the former decIar ing that he did not appear on the date originally set for thehearing owing to a misunderstanding.
 Honor Soldier Dead.
 Plainville's few surviving veterans of the Civil war; the. members of the Woman's Relief corps and, the Sons of Veterans, paid honors to the de- lenders of the flag who have been mustered out of service by death with special exercises today. The veterans visited the graves in all the cemeteries this morning and flowers were strewn on the graves of the departed soldiers. Even the graves in the old East cemetery which the remains of six soldiers who took part in the rev. olutionary war were decorated. That some of Washingtons troops were bur jed in this cemetery was not discov- cred until recently, when they were located by H. A. Castle in his search for material for his history of Plain vile, and until this year they had been neglected in the annual memorial exercises.
 The children of the local schools aided the old soldiers in celebrating the day. They gathered at the Town hall this morning and led by the Eureka drum corps marched to the soldiers monument on Central Square where the program was carried out. Autos were provided for the veterans. The exercises at the monument were brief but impressive.
 Adjutant Ralph R. Roberts read the orders for the day, after which the G. A. R. service was rendered under the direction of Commander J. F. Douglass. The Memorial Day prayer was recited by R. c. Usher and there were words of sentiment by Patriotic Instructor William H. Relyea, Meyer Sniderman reciting Lincoln's Gettys- burg address after which Adjutant Roberts read Logan's Memorial or der.
 The exercises here completed. the post and it's auxiliaries went to For estville where services for the soldiers buried in the cemetery in that will lage were held Rev. Warren F. S5hel- don and Rev. H. S. Hill gave patriotic addresses and the Womans Relief corps conducted the services of it's organization.
