 Must Be Abated
PROSECUTIONS TO FOLLOW
Selectman Hardenbergh Sounds Warming to Those Who Carry Re-
 fuse to Public Dump

A deplorable condition exists on the lower road to Ashley Falls in that section known as the Public Dump. Refuse of all descriptions has been scattered along the roadside for a considerable distance and apparently those who use the dumping grounds as a place to get rid of refuse, have little consideration for others. The matter has been brought to the att 'tention of the selectmen in the fol- lowing letter from the Health Officer:
 October 14th, 1922 N. Watson Hardenbergh,
 First Selectman,
 Town of North Canaan, Canaan, Conn.
 Dear Sir:
 You are hereby notified of hui sance injurious to public health in the town of North Canaan referred to, is as follows:
 The dumping of rubbish and gar bage, and decaying and decayed vegetables and meat and other filth on the highway known as "the back road to Ashley Falls", as we'll as on the land known as "the public dump" The presence of large numbers of rats and flies at the dump. 2@
 It is hereby ordered that the said nuisance be removed or abated on or before November 1st, 1922, and that the disposal of such filth, in this manner, be prohibited in the future.
 F. H. Lee,- M. D.. F. Health Officer, for the town of /.s- +Af North Canaan ri
 Selectman Hardenbergh stated that the town would clean the place up thoroughly and that close watch would be kept on all who use it. In the future promiscuous dumping will result in prosecution. Another place which is commanding the at tention of the authorities is an old cellar where it is said several are dumping garbage and other refuse. which attracts flies and rats in large numbers. E

 The morning session ofe the court was taken up with hearing motions, Lawyer Thomas J.

Maltbie reserved decision A motion for a separate trial for the accused was overruled. Judge Malt bic warned newspaper reporters pres ent at the trial not to publish the evidence introduced during the hear ing of testimony in connection with the motion.
 The jurors selected are: Frank E. Gregory of S Norfolk, foreman; 1; Clarence B. Perkins of Litchfeld; 1; Axel Johnson of Washington and Gordon Y Warner of Bridgewater.

 It is the contention of the state that five men were in the group who forced their way into the home of Tony Boscardini on the night of the murder and one of the five fired the fatal shot. ,.H...
 Judge J. Victor D'Aloia and Law yer Frank B. Bozza both of Newark, N. J., were admitted to the bar by Judge Maltbie to allow them to ap- pear for the two accused.

NO DEVELOPMENTS IN
 SHARON FIRE MYSTERIES
Luke De Garmo Confesses in County, Jail to, Setting Fire to @ > Both School Houses

Practically no~ developments have occurred in the mysteries of Sharon's fires during the past week. Luke DeGarmo, the fifteen year old school boy who at first confessed to setting both school houses on fire and later repudiated his confession, has again stated at the county jail. that he IS responsible for both of these fires. His reason for repudiating his first confession is reported to be that he thought the penalty for causing one fire would be only half that for starting two fires. ks..., r,s
 State Policeman Preston arrested in Kent on Monday, Earl Mitchell, 21, formerly of Sharon who it was at first thought was responsible for at least one of the fires. Mitchell is still being held in the local lookup until a thorough investigation has been made. -/ ..#4
 Mitchell is apparently mentally in- competent. When arrested he stated that he set fire to the Halliwell barn in Lakeville and his description of subsequent events was so accurate that it was taken for the truth. Later it was learned that the youth has a mania for being arrested and would perjure himself to obtain this result. Last year he gave more or less trouble to New York state authorities in similar manner.
 People with whom he has been staying have been questioned and state that he is not responsible for the Halliwell fire and can prove that he was not in that vicinity at the time. Undoubtedly when he is given hearing he will be bound over to the superior court for dis position of his usual case. HSlS.... |, It was reported early in the week that F. E. Bristpps son, of Sharon was responsible for setting the barn of the Conn. Power Co.,, on fire. Young Bristol was questioned and examined as to his whereabouts and later released. s
