as to the severity of the wounds in tiicted upon Michael Conlin by De- viViO.
 On the evening of the fight, Devivio stated, he took his horses down to water and Conlin came along and struck them with whip. Upon remonstrating with him, Conlin grab bed him and threw him down. he said. He ordered Conlin off the land and when he refused, he, Devivio, drew a knife and attacked him. Prosecutor Lewis, on cross question: ing DeVivio. found that he had fol- lowed Conlin when the latter had started out after Conln was a de- ciding factor against DeVivo. That there was anmosity on the part of both parties was brought out by Judge Klett in the defense. Devivio, upon returning from the stabbing, told witness that he had stabbed Conlin and that while he never be- fore had been satisfied he now was fully satisfied that he had got him. This statement from Devivio was the deciding point against him.

ANOTHER B|G DEAL IN REALTY MARKET Charles COnlin Sells Forest House
 in FOreStYille PRICES RISE RAPIDLY
One Piece of Property Jumps $ff.o00 in Value in Few MinutcS-Pcoplc Worried About RCasSesSment Of NalueS-Bricf Items.

Another important real estate trans action was recorded yesterday by Charles F. Conlin of the Standard Real Estate and Insurance company when he sold the Forest House in the nelghborlng town of FOreStVille to Augustine ManatSee of Bristol. Ma natsee is the business manager for the corporation known as the Palace of Sweets, one of which stores is located in the Hotel Clarendon in this , town
 The sale was made for the Hopkins Brewing company of Hartford, who purchased the property from MT. M. O'Connel, who conducted the place for many years.
 The local Palace of Sweets store is mana ged by the Zahara Brothers of Bristol who have been at the store since it's opening a year ago. Tho store will be one of three to form a line of confectionery stores in Bristol, Forestville and Plainville.
 Local people know the old Forest House as well as any public place in this town For years it was under the mana cement of MT. O'Connell who conducted a hotel and saloon. When PlainVille went dry two years ago the place became the Mecca for local liquors lovers and at some times more Plainville men frequented the place than did those of the town in which the place is located.
 The newly purchased property may remain as it is for some time, accord ing to one of the local men interested. Eventually it will be remodeIed and a first class confectionery store in stalled where the saloon now stands. The new owners have not decided whether the hotel part will remain the same.
 The purchase price was around 5000, making sales for the local real estate and insurance company within the past week over $40,00o.
 Price Jumps $11,OOO.
 The price of a piece of property in the center of the town jumped from S22,O00 to 33,000 yesterday when it became ~knOWn that the property vas really desired. For some time the property was known to be for sale and the price wanted was S22,000. The place is a good stand for any kind of a business and when the real estate boom started here a local inan decided to try for the building. An offer of $22,000 in cash was made but the owner informed the would-b"- purchased that the building would be sold for $33000 and nothing less.
 Other Property Values.
 With the entire populacc interested in sale of real estate there is also interest in the reported jump in prices of property. One example was told of last night where a piece of prop erty on Whiting street was advanced $1,0OO overnight. A party wanted to purchase and thought the property, but upon asking the price the next day was surprised to learn that $1,000 was added onto it's value. Land near the new manufacturing field in the eastern section of the town has risen greatly in value. Many people refuse to sell, figuring that the property will increase greatly in value while others who will sell are making a fine profit A few years ago land in that district was sold by hundreds of dollars
