/QFin E. Bahcock who was tried in
the District Court for the murder Of
his wife and son, by shooting them
at their home on the Terry ranch,
pleaded guilty to second degree mur-
der, and was sentenced by Judge S.
W. johnson, to life imprisonment, on
Monday. Attorney George 3. Camp
bell was chosen by the court to de-
fend him, in lieu of IN attorney Sc
lected by the defendant, and nltho he
had pleaded mot guilty" when first
arraigned, he was advised by Attor-
ney eamheii 10 plead guilty and to
throw himself upon the leniency Of
the court. Babcock had been exam
ined AZ to his sanity by an expert and
was pronounced to be sane, altho at
the time Of the killing. such claim
could not be made with certainty.
No motive could be established for
the terrible crime, and as there were
no witnesse to the shooting, second
degree murder vas the charge under
which b. was sentenced.

From 1906 to 1910 he was an in structor in ancient and modern lan- guages at La Fayette College, and from 1910 to 1911 an instructor in the Fall River, Mass. High school. From 1911 until his death he was connected with the Empor;a, Kansas, college, being the professor of Greek and Latin until 1918, and since then until his death professor of history and political science. He was an earnest worker with his classes, and for the success of the college, deliver ing many lectures in it's interest, and on current topics. He was thoroughly patriotic and had great influence with the student body.
 His summer vacations were spent with his parents on their farm. and his work there which he regarded as his recreation, was of material as- sistance to his father and was greatly appreciated.
 In June, 1907, he married Mabel Frances Holmes of New London, who survives him, also two children Frederick Raymond and Francis Howard.

Al the Davis Theatre.

The much maligned impecunio ous English lord figures as the hero of d motion picture called The Miracle of Love- at the Davis theatre Monday and Tuesday. Generally he is p4cs tured as a money hunter who will sacrifice anything to secure the hand of an American heiress. But this young nobleman renounces his oppor- tunity to marry the title hunting American girl and in the end gets the woman of his choice and the money also though in a most unexpected way. In ts reproduction of the real English atmosphere and the dramatic story it tells, The Miracle of Love is a thoroughly enjoyable film. Wynde ham Standing and Lucy Cotton carry off the chief honors in the cast. The second big feature on this bill y is Ethel Clayton's new picture, More Deadly Than the Male. It was adapted from a story that appealed in popular fiction magazine recent ly and concerns a clever scheme by which to prevent the man for whom she secretly cared from going ], to South Africa in search for adventure Louise Fazenda. the worlds funniest woman, will be the third feature in The Star Boarder, a Sennett comedy that has more laughs in half an hour than all other comedies put together Don't miss this big bill. p.

MAY HAVE TO PROCEED
 AGAINST CONN. SLACKERS

Possibility that United States Dis trict Attorney Edward L. Smith may have to proceed against some thous- and or more alleged draft slackers in Connecticut loomed up in view of the news from Washington that Secretary of War Baker has given orders through the adjutant general for the disposition of 325,260 cases of delin- quents whose names remain on the books
 Technically Connecticut had about 1000 draft slackerG and deserters, but just how many of them were wilful cases has never been determined. In the country at large there were 151,- 354 eases which were considered non- wilful and these men are to be dis charged from service.
 Whether or not the district attor- neys office or the military authorities are to deal with the stacker cases is not perfectly clear. District Attorney Smith had received no communication on the subject from Washington. Judge Smith is peculiarly well inform ed as to the draft situation here abouts. as he was chairman of the le- gal committee which aided with tthe questionnaires.
 After the armistice was signed. cit izens of Connecticut were startled to hear and read that numbers of de- serters and slackers in this state rar up into the thousands. Technically this was true, but really there was many 8 lad who was put down as desertel who had been serving in the army ol navy from some other place than tha in which he was supposed to file z questionnaire.
 To sift this situation to the bottom clerks of the different draft board: 1 about the state met at the state cap ital for about two weeks in the spring 1 of 1919 and compared notes. This pro cess eliminated number of name | from the list of deserters or slackers but finally there was turned over t the United States district attorney list of about 2,O0O who had failed t respond or failed to be inducted int | service.
 Even then it was the opinion o 1 everyone connected with the matte
 that not all of these were wilfu slackers, and the list was furthe
 turned over to the department of jus
 tice for investigation.

ANNOUNCEMENTS RED CROSS GLASS IN HOME HYGIENE AND NURSING

During the stress of the past few weeks when grip and pneumonia have been so prevalent, the lack or nurses in Norwich has presented very grave situation. The Nurses Registry at Utley 6 Jones. has been besieged day and night with calls for nurses The public health nurses nursing staff at the William w. Backus hospital has been taxed to it's utmost Every person who has had any practical experience in nursing has been called upon. and yet there were many sick persons who were not given proper nursing care during this time Is not this a striking argu- ment for the further extension of the Red Cross course in home hygiene and care of the sick, the object of which is to teach women to safeguard their homes from contagion, to nurse their families in case of minor ill- ness and if possible to help in their neighborhoods during disaster or ep- idenics Also it affords any young woman an excellent opportunity of gaining some insight into the charac- ter and requirements of the nurses work. not with the idea of taking up nursing as an occupation upon ac quiring this knowledge, but of test ing her desire to enter a training school for nursing as a permanent profession, the lack of suitable ap- plicants for the same being very large factor in the present day short age of nurses.
 The course consists of fifteen les sons and the committee has found it possible to reduce the fee this year, from five dollars to three. Arrange ments have been made to conduct these classes at The United Workers and the services of Mary E. Moriarty recently, appointed by the Red Cross as nurse for the parochial schools,
