LOCAL MEN TESTIFY IN JUSTICE COURT Norman Warren and Theodore Beausoleil Appear For State
 at Willimantic Tell of Alleged lneriminating Remark
 of Defendant In Case

Norman Warren and Theodore Beausoleil of Putnam testified Wed nesday for the state in the case heard by Justice of the Peace Foss at Will limantie. in which Albert Roudeau of Webster. dancing teacher. was eharg- ed with misconduct with Miss Bertha Erbeehea. Windham High school grad uate of this year. When the evidence was all in. Justice Foss could find no probable cause for the charge against Mr. Rondeau. Attorneys for the girl immediately took an appeal to the Su- perior court from the decision. and bonds of $500 were furnished by the defendant.
 in it's report on the case the Willi- mantle Chronicle said on Wednesday:
 Attorney Griils Miss Erbeehea
 Miss Erbechea was severely griiled in eross-examination by Attorney Le- Beouf about her going out with other men. One man in particular, Norman Warren of Putnam. was prominently mentioned in the eross-eXamination. Miss Erbechea acknowledged taking automobile rides with him, but said that on every occasion there were oth- CTS in the party, and denied that any wrong was committed. Miss Efbeehea was not positive of the date of the occurrence at the freight house. but knew it was in the early part of Jan uary.
 Norman Warren testified that he knew Rondeau. having first met him in Webster. He told of making visits to Wilimantic and on five or six occasions visited the Erbechea home. He also knew the girls father as both were members of the same fra- ternal organization Warren ac- knowledged that he had taken the Erbechea girl out automobiling but said there were always other men and women in the party. Warren told of coming to Willimantic one Sunday morning with his friend, Theodore Beausoleil of Putnam. in Romer au tomobile and meeting Rondeau. All three rode around the city and over Pleasant street on Bridge street, pass ing the frieght house Rondeau point ed the place out to Warren and Beau soleil, saying. That's the place where | took the Erbaehea kid last night Warren told of being called on the telephone by Rondeau when he was ar rested last week Tuesday and asking that he come over and help him out as he was in trouble with a Willimantic qirl and that he thought he tWarrenl could help him out. He also wanted me to 20 bail for him, the witness sail. Warren was grilled severely on crozS-examination but held that his relations with Miss Erbaehea were open and above board in every portic- ular.
 Theodore Beausoleil Testihes
 Theodore Beausoleil said he knew Rondeau by sight until the visi; was made to Wnlimantic on the Sunday morning in January. He told of the trin taken around the city and of Ron dcau pointing out where he went with che Erhechea girl at the freight house. His testimony eorroborated that of Wasfeu.s of the incidents of the day sn ,he main He. too. was taken in hand by Attorney LeBousf and ques- toned closely.
 Rondeau was cross-eXamined at length by Attorney Harvey but stuck to his story that he was with the Erbechea girl but once and that there WIS no misconduct at that time.
