SOCIALIST FINED
 IN TEST OF FREE SPEECH IN STATE

Norwich. Conn, Oct. 13-Mrs. Elizabeth G. Evans, said to be a wealthy resident of Brookline, Mass, and Albert T. Boardman, a local Socialist, were arraigned in the police court today on a charge of refusing to obey the orders of an officer to move on when they were about to start a street meeting here last night. Boardman was fined $25 and costs by the court and Mrs. Evans was dis charged as it was shown in court that she was willing to obey the orders of the police. They were defended by Attorney Harry M. Edlin of New Ha- ven, who contested their prosecution on the ground of their constitutional right of free speech. The case of Boardman was appealed. Mayor Herbert Lerou has prohibited street meetings here unless by permission of the police. The attempt to hold the meeting here is the beginning O. a series of similar gatherings to be held in Connecticut cities under the auspices of the American Civil Lib critics Union, to test the right of free speech.
