Justice Prior Moves Into New
 Home-Plainville Briefs.
 Cornelius Downing, formerly a constable in the town of Plainville, had the unpleasant experience of having g. bullet shatter the front window of shis home yesterday morning shortly before noon and up to the present time, the local police have failed to get any clue of the person responsible for the shooting. Egbert Healey. who was passing the house at the time and Pearl w. Smith, letter carrier at the local post office, heard the bullets whiz past them.- MT. Healey stating that he felt as if the gun was aimed at him.
 Mir. Downing lites at 194 Broad street and across from his home is patch of woods. Pearl Smith and MT. Healey state that both of them heard distinctly two shots from that direction and the bullets came so close together that there was little space between the reports and the sound of shattering glass. MT. Downing, searching through the front room of his home, found 8 half of bullet. It is thought that the slug split when 1t hit the sash. The bullet appears to be .32 cali bre slug of the kind that is generally used in rifles.
 Mir. Downing stated this morning that he sent call in to Deputy Sheriff E. w. Furrey and he prom ised to send man up to investigate. Mir. Downing, waiting for the officer, finally decided to seek one himself and he called Officer Andrew Hogan. Policeman Hogan appeared at the home shortly after and started an immediate investigation with very little result at the present time.
 The police and MT. Downing are not sure whether the bullets were aimed or stray shots which entered the house. The building is being ex- amined for signs of further marks to indicate where the first slug en- tered. Acts of this kind will be pun ished to the limit if the guilty par ties can be apprehended.
