TRIAL DELAYED BY AB-
 SENCE OF. DEFENDANT
Charles Funk of Norfolk Stalled in Cedar Swamp
 Near Bakersville

The evidence in the case of the state vs. Tierney and others, which was to have been resumed Tuesday morning, was delayed in opening by the failure of one defendant, Charles Funk, to arrive. The defendant, it is understood, attempted to come from Bakersville by way of Cedar swamp and became stalled in the overfowed road that traverses it. He succeeded finally in reaching Win sted a little after noon. Court was opened by Judge Warner at 10 a. m. but a recess was taken and it was 1 D. m. before proceedings began. The first witness was Miss Gertrude Brinton of Winsted, who testified that she was In East Canaan visiting on. the 29th of July, the day the sheds were torn down. She told of going by the sheds while they were being torn down, on the way-t to her sisters home. She had nos been in court until Tuesday. Horace E. Holt, 70, a carpenter Of Canaan, was the next witness. He had worked on the sheds in the early sos lacking them up. He was work ing for "a contractor named Lorraine He was here two or three days. Sew eral other men were working there. He could remember only, one, a man named Lawton. The witness was not cross-questioned. In answer to a question. by the judge he said the timbers were fastened in the old fashioned way, mortised, etc. ,.s,t Norman E. Lawton, 6T, carpen- | ter. of Canaen was the next witness. He wassthe MT. Lawton referred to by the preceding witness. He work ed on the sheds at the same time at MT. Holt in 1879 or the early sos. They strengthened up the sheds and he believed put on some shingles. He named some of the others who were working there. He testified in Iregard to the construction of the 1 sheds. Only one or two questions were asked him on the cross-examin- ation.
 Charles H. Goodwin of East Ca
 naan was called next, who said he ! lived almost a quarter of~a mile east of the shed. He was about the
 house that afternoon, heard the un.
 usual noise and went out to see what
 had "broke loose" He went over
 to Stratton's store about o'clock
 and found a number of people about
 there considerably excited" He
 saw a building taken down about g year ago. That work was done l quietly.
 The attorneys became involved ir
 an argument over a point of law Tuesday afternoon about 3:30 and ! Judge Warner declared an adjourn. ment until Wednesday at 10 o'clock !-Citizen.

OBSERVANCE OF NEAR
 EAST RELIEF SUNDAY
Other Plans for Relief of Suffering Being
 Made

Since the meeting of the Wear East Relief workers, held in Hart ford recently, at which representa- tives of the Canaan organization were present, arrangements have been made for the observance of Sunday, December 12, as Near East Relief Sunday in the churches of the community.
 Plans are also under way for the schools of the town to take up the work, along much the same lines as last year, mite boxes will be supplied and literature furnished, so that full information as to the needs and the scope of the relief that is absolutely necessary to be furnished if the terrible sufferings of the needy peoples of the East are to be met this winter. Following the Sunday services. possibly the same week a canvass of the town will be made, in order that everybody may have the opportunity to participate. If it is possible the committee in charge hope to arrange for public mass meeting, such as was planned for last year.
 Those of the community who att tended the Hartford meeting were much impressed with the remarks of the speakers who presented the needs of the sufferers in the stricken lands. The National Field Secre- tary, Dr. W. E. Doughty, pointed out the according to the figures which have been received, the Near East must feed during the coming year 500,000 people; that it has 229 orphanages in which there are 54,000 children and has 55,000 children not in, the orphanages but entirely de- pendent upon it for support; that in maintains 63 hospitals, and eleven rescue homes, where girls from the harems are taken and sheltered, and that 100000 more such girls would be housed were facilities provided.
 c. E, Yikery, general secretary for Naar East Relief said that there are 500,00o people who are. alive today solely through the, efforts of the Near East Relief and the Ameri- can people who have made, the re- lief work possible. He told of the high regard which all people in the section have for an American. He called attention to the fact that none of the peace terms being yet in force, and that many were being massacred constantly.
 Mrs. F. s. Duryea, National di- rector of Women's Organizations, called for the release of the hundreds of young girls who are being held captives in Turkish harems, and de- clared that the women of America could never rest while there was a Christian girl remaining in one of these harems. She said that much effort was being used to bring back to France the art treasures stolen during the German invasion, but re- gretted that no efforts were being made to rescue the young captive girls. s

ROLL CALL RESULTS
Response of People -> of Town /.. Is Gratifying

The Fourth Annual Red Cross Roll Call on Saturday resulted in securing about S350 from this town.s While this is not quite up to last year, the Roll Call manager and his assistants feel that it is a pretty good showing. Last year about $434.00 was raised from annual memberships and maga- zine memberships. One contribution of $5 given for local work will be sent to the Nursing Association.
 Those in charge of the Roll Call wish to extend their thanks to those who kindly loaned their cars, the canvassers and the people of the town in general who helped to make the campaign a success.

League Hires Former President

The Dairymen's league has recent ly hired c. A. Weiant, formerly the president of the Borden's Farm Products Co.,, and one of the most expert milkmen in the United States. MT. Weiant will assist the organiza- tion in establishing markets for and selling Darymen's league milk and manufactured products, and his ex- pert help and advice will be a very large factor in assuring success for the Dairymen's League Cooperative association. Securing the services of trained experts, such as MT.

Mission Circle Meets with Mrs. Lyle.

The women of Pilgrim Church who gathered at the home of Mrs. H. E.. Lyles last Friday afternoon to listen to a discussion of Missions" were delighted with the presentation of the subject made by the speaker Mrs. William L. Adam of Pittsfield. Mrs. Adam brought to her hearers an enthusiasm for the cause and an appreciation of the peoples and the actual conditions of which she spoke which is the result of intimate per sonal knowledge. After her remarks were concluded many tarried for in- formal discussion. It is to be hoped that another opportunity to hear Mrs. Adam may not long be post poned.
