HIGH ROCK GROVE NOW STATE FOREST
The WhittemOre Gift of 200 Acres Formally
 Accepted Yesterday
PRAISE FOR DONOR

A splendid attendance marked the program at High Rock last Sat- urday at which time Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and other state officials accepted for the state the 2,000 acre tract of land, the gift of the late Harris Whittemore, ST, of Naugatuck. The land, to be in- cluded in the Naugatuck state for est, is known as High Rock and is full of long winding trails, sturdy rocks, scenic beauty and picnic grounds.
 The program began at 11:30 a. m. when members of the state for est and park commission, under the guidance of State Forester Austin F. Hawes, inspected the forestry work at the park.
 Professor Henry S. Graves, dean of the Yale school of forestry, well comed Governor Cross and gave a fine speech describing the new grant of land.
 The governor praised the gen. erosity of the late MT Whittemore and regretted that it was not pos- sible for him to see the realization of his ambition nj getting the en- tire tract of land to donate to the state.
 Other speakers were: Louis C.. Tolles, master of the Connecticut State Grange, Theodore S. Wool sey. president of the State Forest and Park Association. and Walter o. Filley, treasurer of the associa- tton.

AVERAGE ELECTOR
 KNOWS HOW TO ACT
He Will Exercise His Own Judgment When He
 Goes to Polls

The republicans have a notion that many of their party have made up their minds to vote the democrat ticket tomorrow, and the democrats are somewhat fear full that quite a few of their loyal supporters will make mistake and pull the second lever.
 There is some doubt about this. Republicans who want to vote for Mayor Hayes and those associated with him. and from all accounts the number is large, will not be deterred from carrying out their intentions because of an appeal to party utilization. In lake manner there is not much danger of dem ocrats taking hold of the wrong lever. As a matter of fact prob ably it does the democrats and re- publicans no injustice to say that all of them who go to the polls will exercise their own best judg- ment. If they do this there can be no doubt about the result.
 The prevailing opinion, even among republicans, is that Mayor Hayes and all his associates will be elected by big majorities. Any way, it is but fair to assume that the voters will do what they be- lieve for the best interests of Wa terbury.

 Saturday Night
Four Alarms Sent in
 Within a Few Hours

Late Saturday evening several companies of fire appartus were summoned to 126 South Main street where cellar fire had alarmed the tenants of the build ing. The building is a very famil- jar one to firemen. On the occas- nearly score of the smoke eat ion of a visit about a year ago ers'' were knocked out by ammonia fumes. On this trip the boys sniffed the air very suspiciously on entering the cellar. The fire, how ever, proved of little consequence and was extinguished without any serious difficulty. The alarm was registered at Box 5, at 10:47 o'clock.
 A false alarm was registered from Box at the corner of Bridge and Magill streets at 11:45 o'clock Saturday night.
 Earlier in the evening a short circuit is believed to have been re- sponsible for a fire, which ignited lace curtains in the home of Ern- est Knutson of 1147 West Main street. Box 343 was pulled for this blaze at 1929 o'clock.
 An alarm was received Saturday afternoon at 3:44 o'clock for a small fire in the home of Mrs Mary English of 1706 Thomaston avenue.

 Madden on the witness stand admitted that he administered a kick to the dog, but explained his action that he considered 1t the only effective means of ending the fight. He claimed that he was passing near the intersection of Cooke street and Woodlawn Ter race when Mrs Brennans' pet rush. ed out, and picked" on his animal. He decided that the most effective means of terminating the tussle was to apply pressure on one of the contestants. He aimed a kick at the struggling dogs and ":mos' stopped it.

Lewis Served
 At Football Game
Sheriff Bauby Finds States Attorney at Yale Game
 Release of Leopold Sought in Action

States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis, who is defendant in an ac- tion brought in the Connecticut su- preme court to secure the release of Louis Leopold. local lifer. from states prison, was served with the papers in the case at the Yale bowl in New Haven, Saturday after noon by Deputy Sheriff Joseph Bauby. The serving of the papers brought to a close a search which the sheriff had made for several days for the states attorney. News of the fact that Leopold had named States Attorney Lewis de- fendant in the action was an- nounced exclusively in The Demo- crat.
 Under the law Leopold had only three years after conviction to bring such an action. The time was up Saturday night, hence the fran tic efforts of Sheriff Bauby to To- cate his man. His feat in discover ing the states attorney at the Yale bowl Saturday afternoon was con- sidered a clever piece of detective work. MT Lewis was enjoying the Yale-Maine football game when served

Not taking any chances on miss ing Attorney Lewis and having the time for service elapse. however, Sheriff Bauby before visiting the bowl, also served the papers on States Attorney Samuel E. Hoyt of New Haven so as to safeguard the interests of Leopold. But after the first serving of the papers the question of legality arose so the search for Attorney Lewis was taken up once more with redoubled efforts and with success.
 The papers are returnable to the Connecticut supreme court in No vember. Leopold is serving two life terms and also an additional nine years in Wethersield. He was tried in the local superior court after his building on Baldwin street burned down, resulting in the death of the two Moynihan children.
 Four counts, in addition to an arson charge, were placed against Leopold. He was charged on two counts with wilful burning of building. resulting in the loss of lives, on two counts of first degree murder and on one count of ar son.
 The jury found him not guilty on the counts of wilful burning of a building, resulting in the loss. of lives, not guilty on the two counts of fire degree murder, and guilty
 on two counts of second degree murder and one count of arson. Leopold now claims that the | jury erred in it's verdict and that | the presiding judge erred in &C., cepting the jury's decision. How, | he asks, could he be found mot ! guilty" of wilful burning of
