An important addition to the political literature of Connecticut is a modest volume on the life and works of Thomas Lawrence Reilly, late of Meriden, compiled by hls sons, Louis J. Reilly and Arthur E. ]. Reilly. Special interest attaches 10 the book because Mir. Reilly was born in this city, Louis J. at one time was New Britain representa- tive Of a Hartford newspaper and Arthur E. J. was editorial writer of the Herald.
 The authors originally intended 1 to write this brief biography in memory of their illustrious father for private distribution among his friends and admirers. But they discovered that his friends and ad- mirers were legion. There was such a demand for the volume that they l surrendered to pressure brought 10 bear on them and inc work is now obtainable by all who wish 10 add it to their libraries as a choice gem whose facets reflect the many ac- tivitics of one of the most charming men in Connecticut's history.

 In petition which he also filed with the superior court, MT, Kolet- sky asks for speedy trial for the defendant in the case.
 Jury Room Incident
 Koletsky in his reply gives the fol- lowing version of what occurred in tho jury room after the jury was dis missed:
 "rhe respondent respectfully al- loges that the following alone oc- cured after the jury was discharg- cd an dismissed and returned to their rooms and no more.
 He saw Clarence A. Barton, as sstant states attorney, and Pas quale G. Nocolari, investigators for the states attorney, immediately go- ing upstairs to the jury room. He followed them.

But it was his nature to think of the other fellow first and himself last.
