JAIL SENTENCES IN CRIMINAL COURT

let Baton in through the front door.
 Ladd was on parole from the reform
 school at the time, Baton had never
 been in trouble before, is married and
 has two children and his father will
 make restitution for tn eproperty that
 was stolen. The attorney asked for g
 jail sentence and probation for Baton.
 Public defender Brown made the same
 request for Ladd. saying that the boy
 had been handicapped in his early bring
 ing up but he has a relative in Nor
 wich who is very anxious to look out
 for him in future.
 The state attorney did not oppose pro- bation and iudro Frir-'on ~~il he was
 inclined to give the men another chan Nicoh De tIdAs- IL, 5-,,.-Ing guilty
 to theft of a watch at store in Ston-
 ington two years ago in November, had
 a plea for leniency made for him by Judge T. J. Kelly. The attorney said the boy was mentally deficient, had not been
 able to learn to read and write although put in special classe swhen he went to
 school. He took the watch and passed
 it over at once to another bay, who had had it ever since it was stolen The attorney asked for probation for the boy, and after Judge Hmman had talked to the boys father, he made the sen tence a year in jail, with sentence sus- pended and the boy placed in charge of probation officer Mansfield.
 Robert Odgers 40, guilty of theft of S150 from the person of Peter McTigue
 at New London on Aug. 4 1920, was given a year in jail after Judge Hinman had listened to Public Defender Brown make a statement for Odgers and State Attorney Hull had told the court that | there was little reason for Odgers to ex- pect clemency. Attorney Brown made it i clear that Odgers' troubles were due to drink. and the state attorney said there was no doubt that Odgers got the money The last man sentenced was Tholpas Gilbert Auburn, g. who was sent to jail for year for bigamy in marrying Lillian s. Gates of this city on July 2 last. He is sailor and has been stationed at the submarine base for the last six months Public Defender Brown explained that the fact of the second marriage came to 1 light when Auburn tried fo make an al | lotment of his pay to his Norwich wife, ] when the navy records showed that he | already had made an allotment to a wife
 in Lincoln, Neb. MT. Brown read a let
 ter from the blind, crippled father of 1 Auburn, and also one from the ex- l sheriff of Huston, Tex, which was Am i burns native town. Both spoke well of l him. Amburn's first wife, said Mir. ! Brown, was named Harriet Elizabeth ! Campbell, who was a member of a car nival troupe with which Auburn was 1 travelng when he married her in Kansas : in September, 1918. She left him in l Texas and went to her home in Nebraska
 and it is said she has begun a suit for l divorce
 State Attorney Hull said the man
 should receive a substantial sentence. as 1 he had married the Norwich girl with

full knowledge that he had another wife

full knowledge that he had another wife living
 In prcnouncing sentence Judge Hinman sad 1t was with some hesitation that he was going to give Auburn only a jail sentence. He did so largely in the hope ot what Auburn might do for the girl after he has served his sentence
