GILMAN UNcoNcERNED
WiIimantic Youth Sentenced Tuesday,
 Gives No Evidence of Regret.

At the county jail in Brooklyn on Wednesday, Leon A. Gilman was as quiet as a lamb and making no com ment whatever on his commitment for A period of 60 years to the Connecti cut Hospital for the Insane at Middle town. He seems in no way depressed by the prospect of having his liberty taken away from him for what in ali probability will be the full period of his life.
 Gilman is kept constantly under guard at the jail. He is watched night and day that he may have no Oppor tunity for self destruction. He makes no comment on his fate and takes it as nonchalantly lHiSoner might after getting a sentence of 60 days. and this fact is taken as another as- surance that his mind is seriously un balanced.
 Gilman will be taken to Middletown as promptly as the making of the nec- essary arrangements will permit. though the exact date of his departure from Brooklyn was not known there Wednesday.

PRISON FCR M'GARRY
 COWARCLY ASSAILANT
Case of Moosup Man Who Attacked Miss Downey Quickly Settled by the Jury,


 Joseph McGarry. Moosup. was sen senced Wednesday morning to serve from five to eight years in the state prison, by Judge Gardiner Greene, pre- siding in the superior court here. The jury that deliberated over the evidence in the case was out just over twenty minutes before returning with a yer dict of guilty of assault with intent to rape.
 The charge against McGarrv was filed by Delina A. Downey, who had been employed as a domestic at q home in N.oosup at the time the as- sau1t was committed. in August last At the present time the defendant is residing at East Greenwich, R. l.
 McGarry's effort to discredit the complainant by testifving in court that his advances had been willingly received fell flat, for under cross-eX- animation much that McGarry tried to insinuate and even openly declare was shown to be fraudulent for at times when he claimed certain alleged incidents took place between himself and the woman he was doing time at Brooklyn jail, where he has servd long sentences during the past few years. State Attorney Searls showed that some of his claims were untrue, by referring to the defendants jail rec ord.
 that it was with difficulty that she found her way about the court room, and travelling from the witness stand to her seat in the court room, she ran into the chair in which McGarry was sitting. Her poor sight helped to dis credit some of the testimony that Mo Garry introduced, for it was clear that she cannot see we'll enough to make likely the truth of some things Me Garry alleged.
