While walking along Fairfield ave- nue yesterday afternoon. Paul Le- Blanc of 800 Dewey street was ap- preached by a man who asked him if he wanted to secure a job. Leblanc said he certainly did, and the. stranger replied that he had a good position for a good man. After the pair had pro- ceeded a short distance, the man drew an envelope from his pocket and told Leblanc to take an important mes sage to a gentleman in the local rail- road station.
 Before he departed on the errand. however, Leblanc was required to de- post his entire bank roll, consisting of S23, and his gold watch and chain in the hands of the stranger as secur- ity for the important envelope. At the railroad station, LeBlanc failed to To- cate the man whom the stranger men toned. He returned to the street to find that the old him-f1am game had been worked on him to the tune of s23 and a gold watch. The victim report ed his loss to the detective bureau last night, but the police have been unable to locate the stranger.

 The verdict bars Henry fore Yer from the police force, in which sphere of activity he has spent thirty years.
 Supreme Court Justice Weeks told Henry that if he would repudiate the perjury the court would accept such a statement and take it into consid. eration. Henry stood erect, withoo response. As the court finished inn posing sentence the police officer sa- luted the judge i1 military fashion
 The prosecution told the courl that there had been no personal gain for Henry in his act, and that the prose- cution felt it had the convicted mans mistaken loyalty to his superiors that had led him to commit the perjury.

 . TAX IS
 $182, ,540
Must Raise S300,000 For Building New
 Bridge.

The Senators and Represen- tatives from Fairfield County held their annual meeting at the County Court House today to pass upon the county esti-
 mates for the year beginning October 1, 1920.
 They unanimously voted to
 adopt the estimates prep:,..sd by the county Commissioners and lay a tax on the county of $182, ,54O. This tax will be ap- portioned among the towns of the county according to their grand lists.
 It developed at the meeting that the present Indebtedness of the county is
 s378, GOO and there is only SIS, 900 in the Sinking Fund to take care of this in debtedness.
 The members were informed that at their next meeting provision would have to be made to raise $30O,000 to pay for the county's share of the cost of the building of the new Washing ton bridge across the Housatonic river. ] Senat tor J. HI. Dillon of Shelton questioned the item of 8, 800 for cloth | ing of prisoners at the jail and Sheriff Pease said that while the appropr1a- | ton for this purpose three years ago when there was about 300 prisoners 1n the jail, was only s3,000, it was neces-
 sary to have this amount now, when
 there are only about 100, as the num-
 Der of prisoners at his institution is constantly increasing and the cost of clothing was also a great deal higher
 than formerly.
 l Senator Dillon tried to have Sheriff Peases admit that the falling off in the l number of prisoners was caused py | the Prohibitiops1aws but the sheriff was of the opinion that the number 1 was reduced by the draft laws ana l said it went down considerably about | three years ago on that account and
 a year ago there were only eighty in l the iail, but that for the past year 1 the increase has been noticeable. | Most of the time of the session was l taken up in the discussion of the 1 recommendation of an appropriation | of $5,000 for the Fairfield County | Farm Bureau. A number of the mem
 bers objecting to have an appropria- ton made to an organization which 1 was not under state or county con- | tro1.
 The appropriation was finally al lowed and two resolutions were adopted, one introduced by Frank E. Morgan of Fairfield, provided that a
 member of the County Commissioners
 should be member of the Executive Committee of the Farm Bureau and
 the other introduced by Senator Will kinson provided that the Farm Bureau make quarterly reports to the 1 County Commissioners which should contain an itemized statement of the
 receipts and disburSem ents of the Farm Bureau for the proceeding
 quarter.
 l After the meeting the members ad- journed to the Algonquin Club fo1 dinner.

INJURED MAN FOUND IN STREET Unable to Give Clear State ment of What Befell
 Him.

Found lying in the street on Cres- cent avenue between Seaview avenue and HalIett street about o'clock this morning, John Cost, 33 years old, of Willow street, was taken to the Bridgeport hospital in a semi-con- scious condition by Dr. J. A. Maxwell of the Emergency hospital who re- sponded to a call Tor the ambulance. The patient was still in a semi-con- scious at the hospital this noon and could not give any clear statement as to the nature of the accident tn t caused him to suffer a fracture of tn e right wrist and a possible fracture of the crest of the ilium.
 The theory advanced by Dr. Max well is that the man was most likely struck by some vehicle. According to the bit of information obtained from the patient himself the last he re- members he was on Willard street. Alcoholic odors of the mans breath were detected and it is probable that he had been drinking, according to physicians at the hospital.

 Guardian.

Five members of Mayor Wilson's vice squad in the police department appeared against Anna Comado of S5 French street, for the Board of Charities in the Probate Court today, for the removal of Minnie Gallo, a minor, from her natural guardian. who is the Comado woman.
 Members of the vice squad testified that they raided the house on June and one of the squad said he knew the house by reputation for two and lone-haf years. Michael J. Larney, one of the raiders, said he looked through a rear door and saw a young man scarcely 20 leaving a bed room and the Comado woman came out of the room a. short time afterward-
 The testimony today was all con- corning the moral conditions of the home. The hearing was continued until Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick of Read school, could be brought into court to testify in relation to whether the child was abused at home or not.
 Mrs. Comado said that her right name was Stephano, but she went under the other name so her hus- band, who has left her, would not return and take her household goods She said she was married in New Haven four years ago, but the child was born two years before that time.

kORDI TEN
 TIMES WITH KNIFE

Attacked by an unidentified man in front of a restaurant at 439 Spruce street early this morning, Gus Kordi, 29, who is employed as a dish washer in the Iunchroom was slashed 10 times on the head and arms. The asSailant escaped after the cutting and Kordi is now in St. Vincent's hos pital recovering from the effects of the assault. His condition is not be- ieved to be serious.
 According to the story told the po- lice, Kordi finished his work in the restaurant about 2:45 o'clock this morning. As he stepped from the doorway into the street, the "s1asher' attacked him and stabbed him four times in the scalp, four times on the back of the neck, once on the arm and once on the left side of the face. Kordi fell to the ground and the man who did the cutting made off in- to the darkness. When Dr. J. A Maxwell arrived with the Emergency hospital amblance, the man was found to be suffering greatly from loss of blood. He was treated at the Emergency hospital and then re- moved to St. Vincent's.
 The police have not yet located the man responsible for the stabbing, but are of the opinion that the cutting is the result of the eternal triangle which involves the husband, wife and star boarder. The restaurant in which Kordi is employed is conduct ed by a Mrs. Hoffer.
