 TIED TO STAKES
 FOR THREE DAYS

Leipzig, May 27-Twenty witnesses from England, a II former soldiers, were in court today to testify against Captain Emil Mueller, the second German officer to be arraigned in the famous war criminal trials.
 Captain Mueller was in charge of a German prison camp during the war He is accused of beating Brit ish prisoners with a riding whip and tying sick men to a stake for three days at time. Most of the offenses were alleged to have been committed in 1918.
 The conviction of Mueller seemed certain. As he was arraigned the president of the Supreme court glanced over the papers in the case.
 Before us there is now being un- rolled 6 terrible picture of war and I am deeply moved by it" said the judge. Then turning to Mueller he exclaimed:
 "How could you. in former exam nation defend yourself against these extra ordinarily serious charges? It is incomprehensive to me-
 .aThese are atrocities, exclaimed the president of the court as he read some of the charges lodged against Mueller by men who were former prisoners in his custody.
 Some German papers express the hope that France and England will follow the example of Germany in punishing prison commandments who mtstreated war prisoners NewSpa- rers claim that there are on record now large number of former German prisoners who allege that they were saaistreated.

JITNEY DRIVER WILL FILE SUIT
 FOR DAMAGES

A suit to recover property damage, resulting from the collision betwee en 3 fire truck and a jitney at East Washington avenue and KoSsuth street, will probably be filed next week by counsel for Nick Anto1op- oulous, of 245 Sheridan street, driver of the bus.

The bonding concerns are now responsible for injuries sus- tained by passengers.
 No definite action was taken on the matter by the Board of Police Com missioners at last nights meeting, but Driver John P. May of Chemical No. l, who was operating the fire appa- ratus when the smash-uD occurred, was given much praise for his eff cient handling of the truck.
 It was decided that two retired fire men can be recalled by the comrnis- sioners for duty at Pleasure Island. but just who these men will be has not yet been decided. The manage

The Rivercliffe property. situated in Devon, Milford, immediately ad joining Washington bridge. with an elegant Housatonic river and Long Island sound frontage, extending to a point near -four corners" on the road from Devon to Walnut Beach, and considered by many the finest and most desirable shore front property in the state. has reverted to the Bridgeport Trust company, at pres ent holding the mortgages.
 The Rivercliffe Development com pany made an suspicious start toward developing the land. all streets being laid out, and some of them with side walks, curbs, etc, completed. A num- Der of high grade residences were constructed, the property being gov erned by strict restrictions. The Childs Restaurant company of New York city was interested to a consid- erabIe extent and it was a surprise that they let the property slip away from them by default.
 There are about 45O elegant build ing lots quite sizeable in the tract, the original farm house still stand ing near the center. The spot was famous for clam bakes in years gone Iv many of the biggest and best re-
 nbered civic celebrations having !. n held there- The property will II doubt revert to the original own CT. Stiles E. Goodseu of G. w. Good sell & Son, Bridgeport.
