Judge Edward Mascolo refused to remit any of the fire, stating that he had been informed that the case had been continued to allow the de- fendant to pay full damages. Thomas was then to plead nolo contendere, said the judge, but instead elected to stand trial.
 Denial Issued
 The courts statement brought a report from Attorney Frederick Bauby, Thomas counsel, that he had never informed anyone that his client would plead nolo contendere. Motor Patrolmen Raymond Grady and John Drlscoll testified that Thomas was under the influence when they reached the scene of the accident. They offered as evidence a half-pint bottle, about one-third filled with whiskey, which they said they found in Thomas car.
 Thomas car struck two parked automobiles in front of 837 East Main street, James Russo, whose wife owns one of the curs, said that Thomas was under the influence.
 Thomas denied the charge, saying he had had only one drink of rum that night. At the time of the ac- cident, he testified, the whiskey bot- tie was unopened and wrapped in a paper bag.

'CarpetbaggerS'? State of Connecticut Invaded by Mem bers of Astero-
 campa CeItis
 Family.

New England has a brand new kind of butterfly. It comes from the south and seems to be estab- fishing itself in southwestern Connecticut. This welcome immi- grant, the hackberry butterfly, is found generally from southern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indian and Illinois, to the Guf of Mexico. The first New England specimen, Q nale,, was captured two years ago in. Stamford, Connecticut. It was collected by John 0. Thorn dike, an enthusiastic amateur, who caught several specimens in Stamford this year, and has just presented 8 pair of them to the New England Museum of Ma tural History.
 The wings are about two inches across, and graceful in outline, especially in the male. They are brown above, grayish below, and both surfaces have darker mark ings and white spots Mir. Thorn dike's specimens will be on spec ial exhibit at the Museum until Sept. 25th.
 The hackberry butterfly (Aster- ocampa celtis) receives its name from the food plant of the cater pillar. The hackberry, small tree which resembles on elm, is not common in New England. This fact does not explain the former absence o fthe butterfly, however, which seems to be due to tNe in- ability of the hibernating cater pillars to withstand our northern winters.
