HOME ON NIGHT
Of CRIME, SAYS
WOOLFENDEN
Attorneys Mapping Defense
For Farmer Held For
Grand Jury Action

MANASSAS, Va, Nov. eff
Walter Woolfenden, 48-year-old
Prince William county farmer, is
indicted on double murder charges
in connection with the deaths of
Goodwin Miller and his wife, he
will contend that he was home
on the night Of September Is.
This announcement came today
from his attorneys, T. E. Didlake
and Frederick j. Flynn, as they
endeavored to obtain a $4,000
bond for his release.
Woolfenden was given a pre-
liminary hearing yesterday. Com
monwealth Attorney Thomas H.
Lion withheld his ace witness,
Miss Mary Carter, former Manas-
sas school teacher and reputed
fiance of the accused man.
Miss Carter refused to give
Woolfenden an alibi when he was
first accused of the crime and is
said to be prepared to testify as
to Woolfenden's desperate finan-
cial condition. Also she is ex-
pected to- tell how she spent the
insurance money Woolfenden col
lectel on Miller's life to save the
family homestead.
Mr.. Didlake, discussing his
case, said today:
Everything Mr.. Lion brought
out yesterday was circumStan-
tial. This was borne out by
the fact that Judge Cobb fixed
bond. If the judge had thought
the State had an Open-and-
shut case WOOlfenden would
have been committed outright.
OF course WOOIfenden will re-
main in Jail, since it is certain
he cannot make bond, but we
believe we have won the first
round of an ultimate victory"

Governor AbSoIVes Contractors
In Reply to U. S. and
Labor Officials

BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.-Charges
that cheap out-of-State labor is
being employed on Maryland
public works have been found
to be without basis in fact, ac'
cording to Governor Ritchie.
The Governor instituted an
Enquiry following public state,
ments by Raymond w. Bellamy
Federal director of employment
for Maryland, that contractors on
Federal, State and municipal
projects were importing cheap
labor and refusing to hire local
workers.
Ritchie'S Findings
Henry F. Broening, president
of the Baltimore Federation of
Labor, made similar charges with
regard to contractors on State
projects.
Governor Ritchie said:
81 find that so far as con.
structiOn work at State insti-
tutiOns is concerned, the EN-
plOyment of local labor is prac-
tically 100 per cent.
"As to the roads, out of a
total of 2,158 common labOrers
working in October, all but 165
were local men. Out Of a total
Of 1889 skilled labOrers all but
1853 werC local.
Wages At Scale
"This nonresident labor was
either part of a nonresident
contractors permanent force or
else was employed because
local help could not be secured.
II am advised that in no
case has any labor been en-
plOyed below the prevailing
wage SCALE"

The opening of the playground will take place to-day as scheduled.
 Miss Rowell, who was to have charge of the summer work, informed the
 Civic Union that owing to school work she will be unable to take charge. However, Mrs. Merit Hemin- way has secured Miss Edith DeBon1s of Waterbury to asume responsi-

 The American Legion Liors con-
 tinued their good start in the state competition last night when they de- feated Terryville in the second game by an II to score. The locals start
 ed with a vengeance, after Terryville had made the score to in the nrst inning, collecting seven hits and six runs in the second and adding three more in the third. Here the local scoring ceased. Al Jarlett was the big noise for the locals, besides pitching a nice game he garnered four hits, two of them two-b baggers. For the most part the locals play ed heads-up baseball all the way.
 The next game will be played in Watertown Friday at 5 o'clock. By permission of H. D. Taft the boys are permitted to play their games on the Taft-Rockefeller field. If the weather is inviting 1t is hoped that @ good crowd will turn out. If the locals can win this game they will have completed the first play-off, the next being a two out of three game series with Easthampton. Either Frey or Solowas will be on the mound for the locals Friday. Here's for more rooters!
 Free air for auto tires. Why not a little free fresh air for the little boys and girls from the ages of 5 to 16 years, who dwell in the hot tenement districts of New York. Wa terbury has plenty of good fresh air to spare and at the rate Father Teulings is receiving invitations for the boys and girls 1t looks as though a large number would have a chance to enjoy it. Already he has signed up 30 children for that two weeks in old New England. The chill dren come here we'll recommended by the welfare societies of New York and also after thorough medi- cal examination, so there is nothing to fear.

 Winnemaug seems to have come into its own again after lapse of attention last year. When the man was found dead in Winnemaug two years ago, swimmers ceased to flock
 to this popular place. But this year the intense heat of so many days has driven the people to become water minded. Hundreds gather at Winne- maug every afternoon and early eve
 ming to enjoy that cooling bit of en- joyment. There are several camps about the lake and fishing has been reported as very good this year Black Rock seems to be drawing more from Thomaston this year than from Watertown.

 street. returned to Waterbury yes- terday and submitted to-day to an examination by fire and police ofh- cials as to his knowledge of the suspicious fire, which almost destroy ed his home. The blaze broke out at 3:15 o'clock on the morning Of Thursday, June 18th. Bremen dis covered that the floors of the three ltenements, bed clothing and wearing apparel had been saturated with gasoline.

 tives in Bridgeport and later went to New York to welcome back his wife and children who were returning
 from Italy.

 there was deliberate attempt to
 set fire to the house, but Raimonte

The large crowd was easily handled, no congestion of cars was noticed, although at times there was as many as 400 parked about the grounds.

Joseph Nj. Tone of New Haven Formally succeeded Harry E. Mack
 enzie of Bethel to-day as com 2 missioner of labor and factory in- Epector in Connecticut. Mir To ,, we'll known throughout the state as labor organizer was recently ap- pointed by Governor Wilbur L.. I Cross for a term of four years The commissioner is also secretary of the state democratic central committee, but is expected to re- sign that office in the proposed re- organization of the committee.
 There was no formality about to- days ceremony. Mir Tone assumed his new responsibilities at 10 O. clock this morning. He was the , recipient of many messages of con- gratulatfons and best wishes from all parts of the state.
 In a statement to a representative Of the Democrat to-day, Mir Tone stated that he had no additional announcements to make concerning q number of appointments that are pending, but was hopeful to be in a position within few days to make public complete list of ap- pointees as factory inspectors.
 Several appointments were made last week but in the list no mention was made of Waterbury as far as the factory inspector positions were con- cerned.
 To-day it developed that Arthur Mcdonald, whose name was men- tioned at the outset as a likely ap- pointee had received the endorse nnent of former Mayor Francis F. 2 Guilfoile and John H. Crary. chair man of the local democratic town committee. A number of other in- fiuential citizens and leaders of the democratic party are greatly inter- ested in MT McDonalds candidacy and are confident that MT Tone will zee his way clear to making him ! Waterbury's choice in the personnel of his staff.
 New Haven fared very generous ly fin the selection of inspectors and it is now considered more than like Iy that official recognition will be given at Waterbury. The fact that this city was completely overlooked in the first formal announcements X accustomed surprise and led immedi-

Storrs, Local AgenO Wednesday, July 1-Offerings of snap beans were incerased again on the farmers market and prices de- l clined again as a result. Prices ranged widely due to varying popu- larity of different varieties with buyers. Wax varieties sold mostly for $l.75 per bushel, fiat green kinds mostly SIPS per bushel and round green from 75c to $l.00 few lower. Supplies of most products were moderately liberal while demand was mostly slow resulting in weak market and prices mostly unchang- cd. Cabbage, beets and carrots were selling out. Lettuce and good spin ach sold well. Strawberries were too few to warrant quotations. Red raspberry supplies were increased a little but held steady.
 | Hot weather the past week in the middle west caused a frmer and higher egg market at larger Eastern market centers which added to the local firm situation prevailing earlier | in the week.
