Libraries Leer-- Lawyers Lax In Returning
 Books

A book may be just reading mat ter to the average person who bOr- rows from 8 library or a friend. But to a lawyer it may be source of evidence.
 And today, in the superior court, the "evidence" was turned against the lawyers. There were about forty Waterbury, New Hav- en and other state city attorneys attending when the session opened and Judge Edwin c. DickenSon took his place.
 Immediately William J. Larkin, Jr., who, besides being prosecutor in the court of common pleas, is President of the Waterbury Bar assOciati asked to be heard.
 But he didn't address the court. He faced the assembled lawyers and referred to a letter:
 "T have here 8 communication from the library of the Waterbury Medical association" he conn menced. Seems some lawyers have been borrowing books and there are quite a number missing. Now, if you have those books. ."
 "In behalf of the library of the Waterbury Bar association" Supe- rior Court Clerk George H. Free man, secretary of the bar associa- tion, remarked at this point, "T would like to ask similar cOnSidera- = ton of a number of books missing from the Bar Association library. Please return them."
 Judge Dickenson joined in the general amusement.
 T could say something apropos at this point" he interposed, "but I don't believe I will"
 Then court session started.

Burglars who entered the office of the Personal Finance company, 199 Bank street, last night, ignored keys which were conveniently left in drawer locks and accomplished their work inu the hard way-by jimmying the locks.
 An attempt was also made on the office safe, but after apparently sledging the dial and failing to open it, the thieves evidently became dis couraged in that venture. Police have been informed that nothing is missing from the office as result of the break. It is believed to be the work of juveniles, or rank anna teurs.
 Lieut.. Detective John V. Leary reported today that the keys to the locks of the drawers had been left conveniently in them. He said that the thieves either hadn't noticed Shem, or had decided to get little
