and hailed a tall, dark, good looking

"Hi, Patch. I brang my gang"

arm around her and pulled her to the
bar.

LITCHFIELD
 Corrcspondcnt-NeIle S.. Fairgrieve-Phone Judges Son Given 10 Year Sentence
William C. Kennedy Jr of Torrngon, Holy Cross Stu-
 dent, Found Guilty on Manslaughter Charge

Litchfeld, April 23 - After a trial trial lasting several hours, William c. Kennedy, Jr. 20. of Torrington, student at Holy Cross College and son of pr and Mrs William c. Kennedy of Torrington was sentenced by Judge Frederick NJ. Peasley in the superior court yesterday afternoon to 10 years in the State Reformatory at Cheshire for the fatal shooting of T. James Lyons, Jr, 22, in Torrington on the night of December 1.
 The shooting occurred at the home of MT and Mrs Francis V. Kelley where number of young people were gathered. Young Ken nedy, who was admitted to be over ly fond of firearms, said he had forgotten to leave the weapon at home after practlcing shooting in the afternoon and that the gun went off while he was performing tricks. But the victim, only child of the judge of the Torrington City Court, gave a death-bed statement IO LuC ckkcCL 1AChltVuy ohOe him when he gave Kennedy a vague answer to an invitation to accompany him to a party at an- other home.
 Father Breaks Down
 The fatal shooting was called en accident by Police Chief Hugh M. Meade of Torrington, but Coroner Lester w. Schaefer, after holding an inquest in Torrington, gave a finding of criminal negligence.
 Although Kennedy pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter, States Attorney William H. Blod- gett, explaining that he wanted to present the evidence in the case in order to acquaint the court with all the circumstances before judg- ment was pronounced, called 1b witnesses. Among those who tes- tified for the state was Judge Ly- ons, father of the victim. He broke down in tesifying as to what his son had said before he died, a few days after the shooting, and a recess of five minutes was neces- sary to permit him to regain his composure sufficiently to continue with his testimony.
 Felt Like Pulling Trigger
 Max Beyer, who attended a din- ner party with Kennedy at the home of MT and Mrs Edward J.. Burns earlier in the evening of the shooting. said Kennedy invited him to go to Hartford with him and that when he refused, he stuck an object in his ribs. Victor Conforti. who also attended the dinner par ty, said he saw Beyer and Kennedy leave the room together and that when Kennedy returned alone he told him (Conforti) T never felt more like pulling q trigger in my life"
 James Martin, another state wit ness, testified that while staying at Highland Lake near the Kennedy cottage in the summer he heard noise one night and as he was try ing to trace the source of the noise, q flashlight was trained on him. After the light was extinguished, Martin said. Kennedy came up to him and stuck a gun in his stom- ach.
 Attorney Thomas J. Wall of Tor rington, counsel for Kennedy, pleading for leniency, argued that there was no malice in the shoot ing, pointed out that 1t was Ken nedy's first offense and asked

No Discrimination
 Of Needy Made Here
Distribution of Relief Funds Explained By First Select
 man Kaiser in Anwser to Complaint

There Is no discrimination in the distribution of relief funds and al llocal families in need are taken care of, First Selectman E. R. Kaiser said today, answering q complaint concerning the attitude of town officials in regard to help given a family here. The com plaint was not made to the select men, but to an outside organiZa- ton by Thomaston man who claimed he was not being treated fairly by the town.
 All on the relief rolls are given the same attention, MT Kaiser said, adding that this was the first ac- cusation of this kind to come be- fore him. All families on the re- lief rolls are put on a budget, he continued. The amount of the budget, varies, according to the size of the family. Rents are paid and Q specified amount is given for food. There is no privation in this place and all being aided by the town are given equal consider alton, MT Kaiser concluded. No cash is given directly, but orders for necessities are issued to local stores by the town.
 While tho greater number are content with their apportionment of relief funds, there are a few would-be "chislers," 1t is said.
 At the present time there arc about 90 families being assisted by local and EZRA funds. The 90 families are composed of about 300 persons. Business conditions showing a slight upturn, few of those employed by the town re- gently have secured regular em- ployment.
