SIXTEEN SUITS
 AGAINST CITY
Judge O'SulIivan Will Be Asked to Name COrnmit=
 tee to Hear Them

Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan will be asked at the short calendar ses- sicn of superior court Friday after noon to appoint committee to hear tho issues in the IS suits brought by the Colonial Trust Co. against the city of Waterbury. Each of the &C., ti0ns is based on a claim of over- assessment of property by the city. The committee, if appointed, would hear arguments and testimony of both sides in each of the disputes and then make recommendations to the court. The motion to refer the cases to such 8 committee has been filed by the Colonial Trust Co. Filed Last Spring sss
 The bank filed the actions last spring in superior court. Tn each of the suits it is alleged that the city has placed excessive and ex- orbitant valuations on property owned or administered by the bank. The cases were taken to superior court after the board of relief had refused to make valuation reduc- tions satiswactory to the bank. In one of the 16 suits the bank acts for itself, while in the other IS it is acting as trustee for estates and funds.
 Similar To Elton
 The actions are all similar to the one brought by Attorney William W. Gager, receiver for the Almon c. Judd Co. against the city, in which 1t was claimed that the Ho- tel Elton property was over-assess- ed. The case was heard in lengthy trial last spring. and superior court decision was being awaited when the matter was withdrawn from court two weeks ago.

7uo Brothers Hanged For ReDolting Crime

 Mather ConYicted- Sister to Be Tried

Dorchester, N. B., Sept. 23-(UP) The brothers Bannister, Daniel and Arthur, 19, stood back to back on the gallows trap early today and dropped through together to death. They killed Phillip Lake. 30, his wife, and their eldest child in the New Brunswick backwoods last January, and Kidnapped the Lakes six-months-old baby so that their mother would have an infant to show two lovers whom she was blackmailing. An hour later, by the yellow, flickering light of kerosene lantern, they were being buried in a common grave in the yard of Dorchester county jail.
 Death Parade Starts
 Soon after midnight procession filed past their cell and paused long enough for them to join it. It was led by the jail warden, who carried the mace, symbolic of the laws authority. Next came four warders, marching in pairs, then Arthur Ellis, the hangman. The brothers, handcuffed together, fell in behind him, and were followed by more warders and the official witnesses.
 The procession paced solemly along the corridor to the execution chamber. Arthur smoked his pipe and was calm. Daniel wasn't. They were directed to stand on the trap which had been fitted into hole cut in the concrete floor of the second floor of the jail. No sooner were they there, with guards strap ping their arms to their sides and their backs together, when Daniel said:
