 The case of Byroa PfynpAoa. e savN n~- tton brought against Dr. J. De We're Bar Der claiming damages of sl5.0ee for ai- leged neglect in the treatment Of wife of defendant, and by reason of which she | died. was called for trial Attornev Roche. connsel for the plaintiff. said he l was not ready for the trial of the case as his associate counsel was othe-wis4 engaged.
 | Attorney Rathbun. eounpeI for defend | ant said he reatized that there Is often times justihable reason for continuing cases, and as rule he was willing to J accede to the wishes of the attorney on | the other side. This was an unusual case And had already been long delayed In settlement. The defendant Is a phy- sieian of twenty-five years practice c | physician in good standing and his rep
 utation is ciouaed by this suit. and such a case is liable to reflect upon the other phy- sicians Of Westerly. Mr. Rathbun de- clared that the alleged neglect was novel at..- r-.eae r.A
 declarations at five different times and
 demurrer entered by counsel for defend 4 ant. The demurrers were sustained. in
 four instances. but in the fifth the denuT-
 Ter was overruled and the case was or
 dered for trial.
 Mir. Rathbun said the Kist of ths cssn-
 plaint is not that of improper treatment
 bu. rather neglect. The doctor had trezi-
 cd Mrs. Piymton. during a period of child
 birth. Two weeks later the woman's con
 dition became serious. Dr. Barber was called to the Pfyrptou houee at II o'clock
 h the morning. but did not % there un til o'clock at night. and t Is alleged
 that by reason Of the doctors action
 Mrs. Piympton died. Mr.Rathbun told the court that there were three local phy-
 sicians h court ready to testify mad an-
 other was expected. and that he was ready
 to 90 one with the case.
 Judge Sumner stated that Tuesday aft
 e-noon MT. Roche Insisted that this case
 go on Wednesday morning and al tha' . time nothing was said abost any associ- ate lawyer in the case. The court and
 jury were ready to hear the case.
 Bf-. Roche said: Your honor. I arr
 not ready 10 go on just at this tire.' Well, what's 10 be done7' queried 'As judge
 Can the plaintiff" was Mir. Rathb,n',
 response.
 Deprty Sheriff Philiips then called f'ie plaintiff 10 prosecute his case. There ras no resp5rse and the csze was dcfauited This means that the plaintiff must pay the costs. but may start the case snea after tl1@ required legal procedure. There being no other eases ready sa- trial by agreement Of counsel coutinr- ance betag allowed. the court adjourned to 1ogS0 Thursday morning.

 Under this belief the police gave such
 information concerning the men as they possessed to the cornmandant of the New ] London Submarine base and also to the . officer in command at Fort Wright. but [ not with satisfying result The police = were advised to take the matter up with
 
 : authorities by telephone, while the par . ties already communicated with by tele- - phone declined to continue the inquiry. l. Q Is hardly believed the local police will fn- i cur any more expense in the matter. . Unless definite information Is received . from the federal authorities it Is probable 2 that Thomas and Roberts will be pre- : senred in the Third district court on the
 charge of begging. or obtaining money - under false pretenses. e Upsn complaint of Frank Booth. deputy . commissioner, Antonio Triy2ser and - Caesar Le Petrit were before Judge o. iver Fl.
