 James Aspinall, age 19 years, of Broad street, was operated on again at the New Britain general hospital last evening and another portion Of his left leg was amputated. Those who have been in attendance at his bedside found that the gangrene which had set in following the in juries he received few weeks ago in an automobile accident, had crept up farther on his leg and amputation was found necessary in an attempt to stop it's course.
 Last week, it was found necessary to amputate the left leg just below 1 the knee and this was done by Dr. Paul Swett of Hartford, assisted by surgeons from New Britain. Pre- yious to the operation, Aspinall ap- parently was getting along well. He did not complain of the leg or show in any other way, the symptoms of the deadly poison that was creeping up his leg.
 Last nights operation, although it consisted of the removal of only q small part of the limb, will, it is thought, rid the young man of the poison and thereby save his life.
