Smith, representing the Connecticut Hu- mane society, in behalf of Alfonso |. .Moreross, the Ledyard farmer, who was arrested Thursday afternoon on charges of unnecessary abuse of a horse and intoxication, resulted in Judge Colt assessing a minimum fine of $25 in the New London police court Friday morning.

He has charge of all the animals on the farm of his brother in Ledyard and has always been noted for his kindness shown them.
 It was further explained to the court that the man Is not particularly bright intellectually. Attorney Cronin asked that this fact be taken into consideration in passing judgment Any fine which the court might mete out, he said. would of necessity have to be met by relatives of the accused

The three wounds inflicted with the knife on the body of the horse, he said, had been examined by veterinary and found not to be se- rtous. The deepest of them was about three e-eights of an inch. Two others were merely skin wounds.
 The horse, he said, was the property of brother of the accused. who had seen to it that the wounds were ex- amined by a veterinary. Witnesses of the stabbing who appeared in court, but were not called upon to testify included David Slorkink, Robert Adams and Daniel BaclS1vitI

MANY ARE NEEDED
 TO DIG POTATOES State Farmers Facing Serious Short age of Help This Year.

Connecticut's army of potato dig gers, which annually answers the call of the wholesaler. the middleman and the housewife, has apparently disap- peared this year. Thousands of acres of potatoes in the state have not yet been dug and it is conservatively es- timated that 10000 men sould be used by Connecticut farmers at good wages to pull the farinaceous tuber from the ground. This army of 10.000 cannot be found.
 This was the situation faced yester- day by the wholesalers in Hartford when the last call was sent to state farmers for potatoes. Another ele- ment has entered into the potato cri- sis. Although the late potatoes have not yet been touched, 1t is believed by dealers that 75 per cent. of the early crop is being hoarded by farm CTS about the state for speculative purposes
