Ryder as an after. math of the crash between his auto mobile and q train at the East street crossing on February 2. He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, reckless driving, and in- toXicaton. A large crowd was pres tnt in tho expectation that the tesli- mony would be of q sensational sort and confirm gossip which has agitat- ''d the town since the accident but these scandal seekers were disap- pointed when the witnesses were called upon for only the barest and driest facts of the case.
 Mrs. Ethel Schutte Of New Britain formerly of West Main street, Plain vile. was critically injured In the ac- cident and confined for a number Of weeks to New Britain General hos l pltai. Pllon was held under heavy bonds when it was thought she would die and the trial was post | poned several times to enable her 10 be present.
 Grand Juror Charles r. Conlon prosecuted while Pilon was defend- cd by Judge William J. Malone Of Bristol. Ten vitnessc5 had been summoned but only five were called 1 upon and two Of these were not sworn in.
 ] Justice Ryder found Pilon guilty Of the concealed weapon and reck- less driving charges and fined him i S95 and costs on each count. Drunk ! ehness was not proved and he was l discharged on this count. The fine for carrying concealed weapons was remitted.

Fire district chairmen have re- peated their pleas for careful burn ing within the fire districts. The presence of the hydrants does not alleviate the menace 10 any great degree, they say, as time is spent in getting the fire trucks on the scene if they are needed. Considerable ex- pense to the town will be saved by conscientious methods in clearing the land.
 No serious brush fires have been reported this year, although several have neCcsSitated the aid of neigh hors to keep them from spreading. The early warm weather is drying out the woods ahead of schedule and May 1 will be the last possible date for permit issuing, Griffith said.
 Will Not Rebuild
 Arthur II. Bushnell, whose print ing establishment was destroyed by fire yesterday. has announced that he does not intend to rebuild the plant. It is possible that a small garage will be erected on the site of the burned building but it is inn probable that Mir. Bushnell will continue his printing activities in the town.
 It has been discovered that con- siderable delay occurred yesterday when the alarm was sent in to town officials. Several precious moments are reported as lost trying 10 locate one of those who are qualified to call the New Britain department ana promoters of q new call system arc pointing out the evidence of the need of such service.
