 Off With Checks

Lieutenant Matthew J. Balanda of the local detective bureau was sent to Hartford this afternoon to claim custody of one John Mar shall. who disappeared from this city last evening or early this morning.

Aged but not feeble, a sporty Cadillac roadster of the vintage of 1902, piloted by linen dust cred, begoggled driver provided an unusual sight for Waterbury to- day.

 On the level and with the wind behind it, the 1902 horseless car riage boasts the reckless speed of 31 miles an hour and gets more than 20 miles on a gallon of gaso- line.

$8,000 KR0ONER
 VERDICT STANDS
City Must Pay for Oldest Case on D0cket-COurt
 Finds No Error
SUIT STARTED IN 19l6

Finis was written to the famous "Krooner case" with the decision of the supreme court. handed down yesterday, finding no error in the trial of the action in su- perior court here last June. As result, the $8.000 verdict allowed Mrs Georgianna Krooner against the City of Waterbury stands as final. It was the oldest case on the docket of the superior court, being started in 1916 and having two trips to the supreme court.
 The case was tried first in 1926 and resulted in a defendants ver- dict but on appeal to the supreme court, error was found and a new trial ordered. In the second trial the $8,000 verdict was handed to the plaintiff by the jury and the City took an appeal to the supreme court. It was on this appeal that the supreme court ruled yester- day. The opinion was written by Chief Justice William B. Maltbie and all judges concurred.
 The action was originally start ed by George Krooner to recover for permanent disability to his right arm through injuries suf- fered In a fall on an ice-covered sidewalk or Second avenue. Judge Frederick M. Peasley and Attor- ney Joseph E. Talbot appeared for the plaintiff in the trial in 1926. Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor and his assistant, Ed ward J. Mcdonald represented the city.
 Upon Judge Peasley's ascesion to the superior court bench, Attorney Clayton L. Klein took the case
 when it was sent back by the su-
 preme court. Upon the death of
 MT Krooner on June 19. 1928, Mrs
 Krooner was appointed executrix and appeared as plaintiff in the action in the second trial. Attorney
 Klein tried the plaintiffs side in the second trial and corporation counsel and his assistant, Timothy | S. Sullivan represented the city. Frequent clashes between coun- sel marked the second trial and Judge John Rufus Booth. presid- ing, was called upon to deny two defendants motions for mistrials. The decision of the supreme court finds that Judge Booth was proper in all of his rulings. Il states the damages awarded were
 not excessive for they depended upon the pain and suffering, nature
 of the injury and incapacity fol-
 lowing. The finding also states that it could not be assumed that the Judgment of the jury was over-
 borne by sympathy caused through | the emotions of the plaintiffs wife. It states that for obvious reasons the calling of superior court | judges as witnesses should be
 avoided whenever 1t is reasonably possible to do 50. The finding was
 referring to defendants objections
 to the testimony offered during the
 trial Of Judge Peasley. who repre-
 scented the plaintiff in the original
 trial and Judge Baldwin who pre-
 sided in the first trial.
 Referring to the prejudice al- | legged to have entered the second l trial due to the actions of the plaintiffs counsel. the decision
 states that everything done took place In the presence of the trial | court and in no real sense could
 fault be charged against the plain | tiff's counsel.

GHOST HUNT IS !. FAILURE AS THE
 'THINC" FLIES
Apparition Continues to Appear But the Posse Did Not Get Near Enough
BY PAUL COMLY FRENCH United Press Staff COrrespondentl

United Press Staff Correspondent Media, Pa, July 30.-(UP).-The "ghost" of Glen Mills still roams the wooded slopes of Delaware county overlooking the winding lit- ltle country road where he first ap- peared more than ten days ago. It eluded ghost" hunt staged last night and early to-day. The lean, cadavorous thing" which sits atop a boulder and sinks into the thickets of an apple orch lard with an eerie scream when closely approached, appeared al- though "it" still remains uncap- tured.
 Promptly as the clock pointed to midnight, the aparition was seen to rise from the weeds and tall grass on the cliff and stand, silhouetted against the light of a hot yellow moon, and plainly visible to the hundreds of persons who had con- gregated on the narrow road.
 Thomas Kelly dashed up the hill, but the ghost" vanished into a cornfield. Instantly the crowd surg ed forward for a glimpse.
 The tenants of the nearby farm house, toward which the aparition
  ened to shoot anyone who trespass- ed on the property.
 Within few minutes, two girls in a roadster several hundred yards down the road near springhouse, screamed in fright as the ghost" dashed across the field and darted under the apple trees and headed for the low stone springhouse be- side their car.
 Some of the superstitious farm folk claim that a nearby farm house and apple orchard are re- sponsible for the appearance of the aparition because they were the locale for a brutal hatchet murder some three years ago.
 Shortly after the old man was murdered by hacking his son-in- law to death finished the deed, he walked to the apple orchard He was found by neighbors swinging from a tree in the morning.

Takes Two Sets In Tournament
 This Morning
Comes on Strong After First Set-Danen Eliminates Lawler in Straight Games-More Playing Sched- ned Tonight at Park

Sidney Block entered the quar- ter-final bracket of the annual Fulton park junior tennis tourna- ment this morning with an unex- pected victory over Morris Stern in three of the best sets played in the tourney to date, the scores be- ing. 6-8, 8-6, and 6-4.
 The torrid rays of old man Sol bothered the boys little as both were extremely anxious to come through with flying colors in this important match. They played 38 games before Block finally came through.
 Stern showed his supremacy in the first set, winning 8-6, due to some fine volleying and net play ing. Block played fine tennis in this set, but was just a. bit slower than his first set conqueror.
 The next two sets however showed Stern weakening while Block appeared to be getting stronger and stronger. Block took the second game to even the sets

 This is one of the old cars that took part in some of the banner parades last year, and people without the opportunity of seeing 1t then have the chance to do so now
 A contrast between this car and one of the modern 16-cylinder le- viathans of the highway makes people realize what progress auto- mobile engineering has made in the past three decades. Neverthe- less, the one-lunger is a mighty good car for the shape she's in" and still is good for many more thousand miles.
