in the criminal superior court in this
city shortly before o'clock Thursday
afternoon and Simmonds faces trial
on the charge OF first degree murder.
He is charged with numbering with
an axe Mitchell Gravelin in Voiuntown

scented by Foreman F. w. Perkins was
read by Clerk George e. Parsons Sim

cage again and took his seat among
the score of men prisoners there.
Simmonds had been in conference
with the grand jury for some little
time during the afternoon and was re-
turned to the cage about Ais. From
that time on until he was taken back
to jail after court adjourned he sat
calmly and quietly on the bench and
apparently took an interest in the
court proceedings.
When the announcement was made
that the grand jury was ready to pre-
sent their report to the court Sim
monds watched the men file in and
take their seats. The spectators,
among whom there were a number of
women eagerly awaited the reading

Wheeler, colored. the woman in the
case, who is being held as a witness,
was in the court room and occupied
a seat near the steel cage in which
the male prisoners were kept. She is
of slight build and very quiet in ap-
pearance. She, like Simmonds, evil
denced but little emotion when the
charge Of first degree murder was read
to the court.
The grand jury comprised the fol-
lowing: Edmund W. Perkins, Napoleon
B. Lewis. M. D., Frank w. Brewster,
Charles D. Moves, Norwich; Fred J.
Brown, LleWellyn p. Smith, Lebanon;
Francis H. Johnson, Lisbon: John H.

Stonington; Charles H. Smith, Groton;
Samuel H. kellogg, Harry Elgart, Col
chester; Frank I. Date, Franklin: Al
marin T. Hale, New London; Court
land G. Potter, Salem; Charles 7. Bee
be, Albert H. Lamphere, Waterford.
Court came in at 1910 o'clock with
Judge Burpee on the bench and was
opened by Sheriff Draper. Prayer was
offered by Rev. joel B. Slocun, D. D.,
pastor Of the Central Baptist church.
In the steel cage were about 20 male
prisoners and two women prisoners
occupied seats outside and near the
cage. Two of the prisoners, mere
boys. faced charges Of burglary.
Major Hadlai A. Hull informed the
court that the grand jury was in at
tendance to consider a murder case
