 James Usher Endan6ers Own Life Trying to Save Pedestrian 1 TRAMP STAGCERS INTO AUTO l Bernard Gilson of Bridgeport, in Hos- pital With Brain Concussion-Leslie Burton Thrown Through Wind shield-Good Friday Court Session. Staggering along the highway, Der nard Gilson, said to belong in Bridge port, stepped in the path of James Usher's auto on the New Britain road last evening and was so badly injured l that he had to be removed to the New
 Britain General hospital. While 1t 1 was at first feared that he had been IdJdlIy 1lS ltu ICSoFS1ou WIT scfousness this morning and it was said that barring unexpected develop ments he will recover. He is suffer- ing from a concussion of the brain and multiple abrasions about the head. In his efforts to steer clear of the man, who walked in the path of the car as 1t was almost upon him. Mh Usher turned his machine into the ! ditch, the radiator crashing into telegraph pole which lay near tho 1 roadside. Leslie Burton of this place. who was a passenger in the car. was l thrSwn through the windshield 1 beng badly cut about the head and body. His injuries, though pain
 full. are not regarded as serious. MT. Usher escaped unhurt.
 The accident occurred shortly after 3 o'clock. There is deep gulley by l the roadside into which MT. Usher had to drive in his efforts to save the | man on the highway. and the escape | of the occupants of the car from death l under the circumstances was almost 1 miraculous. The machine was badly damaged and was left undisturbed
 until this morning when it was taken
 to a garage for repairs.
 Gilson, who is thought to be a tramp, acted as though intoxicated ] and the driver of the car apparently
 did his best to avoid hitting him. ! Following the. accident MT. Usher mo- tif1ed Grand Jurors M. A. Norton and
 S. S Gwillim and the latter hastened ! to the scene of trouble. The prose- l cutors were inclined to place no re- l sponsibility on MT. Usher for the acci-
 dent. he seemingly having had the car
 under control at the time.
 l Good Friday Court.
 Justice A. H. Condell imposed sem l tence of thirty days in jail, but sus- 1 pended their execution on payment of l costs in the cases of Joseph Dunn and Fred Coulette, who were arraigned ! yesterday on charges of intoxication. ! They had been arrested Thursday night by Constable Marino. Both 1 men are members of the transfer sta tion force. The court put them on | probation rather than send them to Jail.
 l Constable Marine picked up another
 drunk last night in the person of
 Stanislaus Parawicz, who spent a good part of the evening in raising a distur-
 bance around the center. The man
 had been elected from Gleason's lunch
 room and Lyman's cafe, because of
 his condition, and his continual CUTS l ing and boisterous conduct made his 1 arrest necessary. He will be ar raigned before night.
 To Attend Conference.
 John F.. Lamb will represent the local M. E.. church at the meeting of the laymen to be held in Brooklyn,
 N. Y., next week in connection with
 the annual session of the New York East conference.
 l Rev. J. A. Goodell will not attend the gathering. MT. Goodell remains
 a. member of the Oklahoma confer ence and is serving in this section of
 the country. but temporarily. He proposes to eventually return to Guthrie. where he will rejoin the
 Methodist college faculty. It is not | expected that the conference will name a new pastor for the Plainville
 church but will arrange to have MT. Goodeil continue here for another year. He is popular with the mem | bers of the church and they are anxious to have him remain here as
 long as possible.
