All candy vending machines must be out of Plainville by Friday, March 20, according to an edict given out to all store proprietors who have had the machines in their places of business, by Deputy Sheriff E. W. Furrey yesterday, He had received orders from Stanley s. Gwillim. grand juror, calling his at- tention to the fact that there were number of the machines in opera ton and as there had been two de- cisions rendered in the court of New Britain and In the higher court in Hartford that the machines were Illegal, complaints had been regis tered with the grand juror. MT. Gwillim's order to Deputy Sheriff E. W. Furrey was to notify the lessees of the machines that they must have the machines out of their places in one week and be- cause the deputy sheriff started to notify the storekeepers yesterday. he gave them until the goth of the month to get rid of them. All those who have had the machines in op- eration received the order in good grace, according to the deputy sher- if, and all have agreed 10 have the machines returned to their owners by the time limit set.
 The machines were sent into New Britain, Hartford. Plainville and all the cities and towns surrounding Flainville and 8 test case was held in the city court of New Britain which was later appealed to the higher court. The appeal was later withdrawn without a test case.
 The machines have been in opera ton in Plainvills for a long time. They are of the type whereby a nickel can be put in a slot, a handle pulled and figures on revolving shafts within glass panel form cer- tain combinations which if they are the winning ones will return an al- lotted number of sluss te the per- son playing. With every deposit in the machines. a tube of candy of various favors was received by the person playing and this was the big argument of the defense in their claims that the machines were legal,
