 At a special session of the superior court held at Rockville on Saturday the request of Harry petsinger of Somers to have the superior court force the select men of Somers to put his name on the voting list, was dismissed by Judge Will liam l.. Maltbie of Hartford, who granted 3 special hearing to the case. Petsinger made application to the Somers officials, namely: Selectmen Albert S Hubert, Herbert E. Thatcher and Bert D. Cooley and Town Clerk Charles S Fuller to be made an elector. They refused to make him one and told him to go home and wait another year. Petsinger was before the June term of the superior court on the charge of throwing rotten eggs at the home of Homer F. Kibbe in Somers. In the middle of his trial his lawyer pleaded guilty for him and he received fine of $lOO and was put on probation for year and it is understood that it was for this reason that the board refused to put him on the list. When the town officials failed to put him on the list he appealed to Lawyer Michael Luddy of Thompson vile, who secured writ of mandamus from Judge MaItbie, ordering the select men and town clerk to appear in court. The board of selectmen was represented by Lawyer William II. Leets of Thomp- sonville. Mir. Leets asked that the mo- ton be quashed and he stated that the law is very plain in case like this and it gives the select men absolute control. He presented a motion to quash which was sustained.
