 Jurors Made Public.
 A telegram was received last night by Mrs. Edward F. AspinaIl of 28 North Washington street saying that her brother, Walter W. Livingston, has been severely wounded while serving with the United States Expeditionary force in France.
 Private Livingston was in the Con- necticut National Guard until a short time before the trouble with Mexico. When his time was up he did not re- enlist. But when war was declared on Germany he enlisted in Company in New Britain, the day the National guard was called out He went to New Haven with that unit, and Com pany l was one of those consolidated with the 1O2d regiment. Tn Septem- Der they were sent overseas and Liv- lngston went with them. He was wounded in action on July 22. A curious coincidence lies in the fact that the news was received on his birthday, August IA. Private Living ston has in the service one brother, two brothers law, and two cousins. One of his brothers-in-law is in France. His brother is an instructor in training camp in Georgia.
