A demurrer was argued in the case
Of Edward i, Bombria VS.. Murphy
Brothers This is a Wi1limantic case
and grows out of the fact that the plain
tiff was injured, it is alleged on No
vember 80. 1921 as he came out of st.
Joseph's school in Willimantic and was
run down by an automobile driven by
one Thomas r. Wiley, who is represent
ed as an ernploye of Murphy Brothers
The defendants are asking for a more
concise wording of the information in
the case, whereas it is contended by the
attorney for the plaintiff that the inform
alton is clearly and UNDERSTANDABLE set
forth. Judge Marvin reserved decision.
A romance of the war period was un-
folded in the trial of the uncontested di-
vorce case of Violetta Eneth Lesgett VS..
Ernest Norman Leggett. The couple were
married Nov. 81, 1917, when Uncle Sam
was first rushing aid to the allies over
seas The groom was a sailor At the
time of the marriage he had a 80 days
leave of absence, after which he was
obliged to return to duty and some of
the time was over seas. In the mean
time his bride came from New York to
Canterbury, in this state, to await his
return
Mrs. Leggett alleges in her complaint
that her sailor husband deserted her
October 4, 1918, less than a year after
eheir marriage and that she has not since
received word from him, excepting
cards bearing his signature that he sign
ed inreeeiving registered mail from her.
In the short period between the time of
marrige and alleged desertion she saw
him occasionally, once when he came
to spend furlough of Is days, but
remaineded with her only 10 days.
Mrs Leggett is now a resident of Plain
field, where she is employed in the
Lawton mill. y Harvey CoIley and Mollie
Colley were witnesses in Mrs. Leggett's
behalf. They are residents Of Plaintield
now.
Judge Marvin reserved decision un-
+ba ToIo 61aC of
Wit bearing on Mrs. Liggett's residence
over certain period at Plainfeld.
The second divorce case of the day

Danielson VS.. Napoleon Bazilion of Put
nam. They had lived in Danielson for
about two months before coming to
Putnam to reside. Mrs Bazilion charg-
ed that her husband was fntolerab1y cruel
and that within few months after their
marriage he beat her, slapped her face
and twisted her arm. She cited numer-
Gus instances of bidily attacks. Her
mother and others testified in her behalf.
Since their separation the mother has
had charge Of one of their children and
| the father the ether. Decision was re-

On the grounds of inteIerabIe cruelty.

| Members of the 81 Tor and Junior
classes of Putnam High school were in
| vited Friday to participate in the ma
| tion-wide essay or grafton contest for
prizes of $4,000 offered by Henry Nor
Eenthau, former United States ambassa-
| dor to Turkey. Students at the high
school are showing interest in the con-
test.
| Practically the entire membership of
| Cargil council, Knights of Columbus, is
expected to attend services and to go
to holy communion at st. Mary's church
| Sunday morning. The members are to
assemble atthe church grounds at 6.45
a. m. and will be seated in body while
| attending mass.
1t is of special interest here that John
| w. Titcomb has been appointed superin-
tendent Of the state fish and game COM
mission. Mr.. Titcomb is the gentleman
who was in this section of TIE state re-
| Gently seeking a location for trout
| hatchery and who addressed gatherings
| Of fishermen at the Putnam inn and at
the municipal building.
| Trout fishermen were detected Friday
and for most part regretfully admitting
| that the opening of the season this morn
| ing will not offer at all bright prospects
| for getting such strings of the speckled
| beauties as was indicated earlier in the
| week, might be possible. NesTly four
| inches of now covers all of the surround
| ing territory and the borders of the
| brooks are in some cases fringed with
| ice These conditions are very bad for
| successful fishing and will be the means
| in all probability Of reducing by more
| than half the number of sportsmen who
will be out whipping the streams today
! During all of Friday chill northeast
wind continued to blow and maintained
| the untoward weather conditions about
| which the fishermen are complaining.
