LIFE IN PRISON
 BONJON SENTENCE
Slayer of Daniel E. Walker
 Convicted of Murder in Second Degree.

Louis E. BOnjon was found guilty of murder In the second degree by jury in the Superior court late Satur- day afternoon after several hours de- liberation for the killing of Daniel E. Walker September last He was Immediately sentenced by Judge W. s. Case who presided over the trial to imprisonment for life in the State prison at Wethersheld.
 Bonjon had been on trial for more than a week, and the case was given to the jury Saturday at 12:30. The verdict was returned shortly before 5 o'clock, the jury having a short in remission for dinner.
 1 The crime for which Bonjon was l tried and convicted occurred on Sep i tember ' when Bonjon in a fit of frenzy induced by drink, shot and | killed Daniel E. Walker in the lat i ter's case at State street and Howard avenue. BonjOn had come into the place and had got into an argument with others. Walker had ordered i him put out unless he kept quiet, and Bonjon was taken into a rear room where Walker was Without warning he drew a revolver and fired, the bull
 let striking Walker in the eye and
 piercing the brain. Death was al- most instantaneous.
 Defense conducted by Attorney I. J John and Judge W. H. Comley, Jr. was insanity, and Dr. A. R. Diefen- dorf, of New Haven, a noted alienist sustained that contention on the wit ness stand For the State Dr. Ma1 Mailhouse, Dr. John c. Lynch, and Dr. C. C. Godfrey held that Bonjor was not insane, and that his outbreak
 was due entirely to the fact he had been drinking.
 Whether or not an appeal from the
 verdict will be taken to the Supreme
 Court of Eerrors has not yet beer determined.
 Bonjon received his sentence quiet Iy, seemed to be rather dazed by th'
 verdict, however, and after court ad journed talked for long time witl
 Mrs. Bonjon, who was present il court.
 The verdict was in accord with tn claim of States Attorney Homer Cummings.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

This is the birthday of Joan of Arc, for it was on Jan. 6, 1412, that she was born in the village of Domemey. the daughter of Jacques D'Ar3 and his wife, Isabel Romeo. Joan had three brothers and a, younger sister. Her glorious life has been told too often to need repetition-told in many tongues and at great length. Mark Twain wrote life of Joan that fills two volumes, and which ranks among his masterpieces. The soldiers of France from the beginning of the war placed their faith in the hands of the spirit of Joan, and through that awful he'll which modern science has made of warfare. the image of Joan led the soldiers of France to victory

Congress Hostile To Absolute Rule
 of Packers Bill

Washington, Jan. 4-Opposition Is crystallizing to the Administration bill for the regulation of the packers.
 In brief the opposition from the standpoint of the legislator, who re- sents threatened encroachments upon the authority of the Iaw-making branch of the government, is that 1t confers blanket authority upon the President to impose or remove re- strictions upon the packers and take over such portions of their property as relate to the transportation and distribution ends of the industry.
 The packers bill probably was drafted while the war still continued, but it was not introduced until Dec. 10, month after the signing of the armistice.
