both drank. While near Church IS
corner they got to "chewing the rag"
as the witness expressed lit, and the
deceased boosted that no man could
hold his right hand. The accused then
told the deceased that he knew one
thing about him and that was that he
was coward. Deceased said that he
could not stsnd TO be called that and
motions were made and the accused
struck deceased in the mouth and he
fell to the cement sidewalk. His as
sailant and the witness found that he
was unconscious and picked him up
and SET him in a store doorway and &C
cused went away. The witness re-
manned and taxi was procured and
Basaillon was taken home and later to
the Day Kimball hospital. An opera
ton was performed and it was found
that clot of blood had formed on the
brain and the man died from cerebral
hemorrhage without fully regaining
consciousness. There were absolutely
no marks on the body except for cut
on the lip caused by the blow. The
man died the 18th, eight days after he
was struck.
While the action of the accused was
the direct cause of death there were
extenuating circumstances. Legally
the accused was bound to retreat and
did not do so and most men wouldn't
under like circumstances. He Is not
regarded as a serious criminal and he
thought a states prison sentence
should not be imposed as he didn't do
any more than most men would under
the circumstances but the community
must be protected and sentence oil
six months in Jail was suggested by
the attorney. The court stated that In
view of the circumstances as outlined
by the attorney for the state he would
impose the sentence suggested, six
months in Jail.
Carl Bates and Ernest Thayer OF
southbrdge, charged With the theft OF
poultry in Woodstock, plead guilty
and were sentenced to two months
each in Jail. The men were tried for
The crime by jury last week. The
Jury disagreed and it is understood
nine 10 three were for conviction One
of the accused is colored man.
The civil case started Tuesday was
finished. The case was submitted
without argument and the judge took
the file. Thursday cases were settled.
The court granted the divorce heard

Automobile Owners Pertnrbed

Automobile owners in Danielson,
Putnam and the surrounding towns,
who recently became members of an
organization through which they ex-
pect to buy gasoline and accessories
below the retail market price, are bit
worried as to whether or not their
hopes are to be realized. This arises
from published accounts in automobile
trade papers that the concern with
which they have become affiliated and
from current rumors that the concern
is in difficulties. An agent of the or
ganizatIon, when is in a city of an.
other state, has been canvassing this
section and exhibiting a catalonue of
articles and prices. The fee to become
q member is said TO be $3.50. While
some of the mem bers are optimistic as
to the outcome others are inclined TO
think that the scheme will not be to
their advantage. 1t is thought that
from forty to fifty paid the fee in ad-
vance in eastern Windham county.
