MOTHER AND TWO CHILDREN
 DROWN IN RESERVOIR

GLOBE, Sept. 26.-The heorism of a mother who tried to save her boy from drowning cost the lives of Mrs. J. A. Dunaway, of Miami. her seven year old son Clark. and her nine year old daughter. Madeline. Saturday afternoon. This was the conclusion reached last night by those who investigated the death of the trio in the Burch reservoir.
 Mrs. Dunaway had been i'll and 1t was feared for time that despond- ency had caused her to drown herself and her children. But a careful exam ination of the facts resulted in the adoption of the theory that her son slipped down the soft dirk bank and into the water and that the mother and sister were drowned while trying to rescue him.

kLETT INTERPRETS
IN Sign LANGUAGE
Springs Surprise in Court When
He Has ''Chat" With Mute

SENATOR elect George w. Klett, who
on weekdays is the prosecutor at the
local police court, appeared in q new
role this morning that added one
more to his versatile accomplish
ments. In times past Prosecutor
Klett, in addition to conducting the
states cases, has also acted as inter-
prefer. He has prosecuted and ques-
toned followers of the Kaiser in their
native tongue as we'll as Poles and
Lithuanians, to say nothing of at one
time assisting a Hebrew who, when
in a quandary for the proper word,
reverted to the mother tongue. This
mornings exhibition, however, was an
epoch making one as he appeared in
the role of a deaf mute and with his
nimble fingers Interpreted the testi-
mony of one Michael Croll, a mute
who claimed to have been assaulted
by Michael PETAL.
Daniel Ahern testified that at the
corner of Spring and Union streets,
PETAL, who was arguing with another
man, suddenly turned on Croll as he
was passing and struck him with a
stone Ahern chased PETAL, who ran
into the waiting arms Of Officer Nc
Cabe Croll, in the sign language,
told Prosecutor Klett Of the assault
and accused PETAL. The accused ad-
mitted the charge, but claimed justi-
fcation. His claim was not sufficient
~ strong to keep off a $40 fine.
Friend From Old Country.
On Saturday afternoon the police
were furnished with a description of
a man charged with the theft of a
bicycle from the Vulcan Iron Works
and Officer Fred Wagner inspected
the various individuals on Main street
until he came to Steve Drizgalo. The
description tailed with the individ-
ual and Steve was placed in durance
vile until this morning. No bicycle
was forthcoming and Steve said he
could throw no light on the subject,
so a charge of drunkenness was
pressed against him. He explained
that by saying that on Saturday he
met friend from the old country who
insisted on his drinking g. lot of
whiskey Inasmuch as he had never
tasted the "red licker'' before, it had
a demoralizing effect on him. SO did
the judges fine Of SIS and costs.
Sent Back to Sanitarium.
Thomas Hurley was arrested on the
street Saturday by officer Michael
Cosgrove for drunkenness. The mans
condition is pitiful. He is in the last
stages Of tuberculosis and has been
an inmate at the Newington sanltari-
UNI for some time. On Saturday he
left the institution and came to New
Britain where he got drunk. He IS
about forty years old and expressed a
I desire to return to the sanitarium.
He was sent back.
This Fellow Likes Cookies.

caused the downfall of one James
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1916-11-13

Delaney whom Judge Meskil sent to
Jail for sixty days. Delaney was
charged with drunkenness and steal
ing the aforementioned foodstuffs
from L. Swarsky's store on Hartford
avenue Saturday evening. Officer
Michael Meehan made the arrest.
Mrs SWarsky testified that she was in
front of the store and had forgotten
that the rear door was open until she
looked in and saw Delaney standing
behind the counter filling his pockets
with cookies. She screamed, where
upon Delaney protested that there was
nothing to get excited about. A
nelghbor who came into the store at
this moment also screamed and then
the policeman arrived and put an end
to the Women's worries, but added
greatly to those of Delaney.
Hubby Doesn't Keep Promise.
Andrew Muskell was arrested at his
home at SIS East Main street by OFF,
Ger McCue yesterday, charged with
choking and beating his wife. Mrs.
Muslell testified that about seven
weeks ago she had her husband ar
rested in Wallingford for the same
offense, but at that time he promised
faithfully to be good and said he
would never do it again. For the
neXtthirty days he will have chance
to repent at the Hartford county Jail.
He Didn't Like Jail.
Charles Murzen Of 216 High street
has been to Jail on previous occasions
and did not hesitate to tell the judge
that he did not like the place. He OBJ
jected particularly to the beds, buv
did not entirely approve of the close
confinement either, he said. He was
charged with drunkenness and breach
of the peace at his home Saturday,
for which he was arrested by Officer
Fred Friend. He was given another
chance and fined $40 and costs.
