Church LaSt Aight-Grangc Hans
 For Dancc-Rcd Cross Notes. William Holbrook of Rockwell avenue New Britain, was discharged | in the local court last night and re- leased on his bonds of $500 by Jups- 1 tice Merritt 0. Ryder following action taken by the state police in the case of the death of Richard CafIcrty of this town. Holbrook was held pend 1 ing the outcome of the autopsy per i formed on Caferty to ascertain whether or not he had died aS the direct result of a fractured skull sustained when he fell against an ice box in the home of stephen Leonard of Pierce street several weeks ago. The rclvase of the New Britain man was given following the rccom!uenda- ton of the state police and Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun of Hartford when it was found, after the autopsy, that Cafforty had died from alcoholism and not of q fractured skull. Officer Michael P. Flynn represented the state police at the hearing He read the report of Dr. Henry N. Costello, who performed the autopsy in the undertaking parlors of Thomas r. O'Brien of Bristol. Grand juror Stan ley s. Gwilim acted as prosecutor.
 The release of Holbrook clears up the possible mystery which had shrOuded the death of the local man When Holbrook was placed under bonds, it was thought at first that he had been in some way connected with the death of the local eX-sollicr Special Post Meeting.
 There will be a special meeting O the Brock Barnes post at the LcgioI headquarters Monday evening. Fina plans will be made for the coming fair to be held at the Gridlcy Garage
 Another important item to be dis cusscd will be a change in the consti tuition of the organization. This ac tion was found necessary for the ncX election of officers which was to haNr taken place the second meeting il December. It appears however, tha the meeting night falls on Christmas - , deaVor to have the change mad, l that the election will be held the frs meeting in December instead.
