 Before these ta ses had been heard 1 Judge Foss stated that his attention
 had been called to an article recent
 " published in the Willifnantic Chronicle critieizing the court for ifs
 action during recent hearing when
 people were excluded from the court
 room while testimony on the Eugenie
 case was being heard. Eugenie, it vii
 be remembered. was recently tried for
 indecent exposure and was sentenced
 to three months in jail. The witnesses
 in the case who were women, refused
 to give their testimony while other
 persons were in the court room and
 therefore the court requested that
 all persons leave the room.
