DUANE IS DISCHARGED
 AT CCMMlsS sSIoNER HEARING
Technically Guilty But No Actual h. tention of Violating Espionage Act.

The case of Ernest L. Duane, an employe of the Marlin Rockwell Cor poration, who was brought before the city court, Thursday morning, on the charge of aiding and abetting John Pawlec, a fellow employe, in a theft of a gun from the company. came up before United States Commissioner Earl Mathewson Friday morning when hearing was held.
 When the facts were fully explained to the commissioner by Chief Guard Michael Pounch, Duane was dis charged The facts showed that Duane had warned the fellow em- ployes not to remove any parts. that the parts alleged to have been taken had been previously rejected, that he thought them of no value. and conse- quently had not reported the matter to the company. While Mir. Duane was technically guilty, in not report ing the matter, of a violation of the espionage act which is very broad, Commissioner Mathewson felt there was no actual intention of any moral wrong doing and that Duane simply failed to appreciate that the matter might have had serious aspect.
 City Attorney Lee Roy Robbins rec commended to Commissioner Mathew son that under all the facts and cir cumstances of the case he felt that Duane was not intentionally guilty of any wrong and further stated that the allegation against Duane in the city court was a eolored one as it is the practice to hold alleged violators of federal laws upon technical charges pending the disposition Of the matter by the government authorities. At torney Arthur F. Libby appeared for Duane.

sHERIFF BROWN AGAIN.
Will Be Renominated by Convention
 is the Prophecy Made.

Sidney A.. Brown, the most compe- tent sheriff New London county ever
 had, will be renominated tomorrow
 (Saturday) at the convention that
 meets at Norwich at noon. There isn't
 a particle of doubt about that. He has earned the esteem of the people and
 respect of the law breakers by his
 faithful attention to every duty, fand
 he has administered his office so effi- ciently that no man can hope to dis place him. The chievalty is an office that requires just such man as Sid
 ney A. Brown. His long service made
 him efficient to a degree that no new incumbent in the office could hope to attain without years of experience. It will simply be going through the mo- tions in the convention tomorrow, and at the polls MT. Brown will get a vote that will convince him that the people endorse his splendid record and want him to continue in the office e,-New London Globe
