denny GRIFFIN
STRUCK BY CAR
67-Year-OId Man Critically
Injured Early This
Morning

Dennis Griffin, 81, was described
in poor" condition today at st.
Mary's hospital where he was rush
ed suffering from injuries received
in an early-morning automobile ac-
cident at South Main and Wash
ington avenue.
According to Coroner william B.
Hennessy, who conducted prelim-
mary investigation, the elderly man
was struck by an automobile operat-
ed by Joseph Mannetsi of 157 Plaza
avenue, when he ran into the car
and was hit by the left front head
light.
Mannetti, who stopped his ma
chine Immediately and rushed the
critically injured man to the hos
p.t1l, was released on his own
recognizance. Attaches at st. Mary's
hospital described Griffins injuries
as a questionable fracture Of the
cervical vertebrae, fracture Of the
right shoulder, possible fracture of
the sklll, scalp liberation and shock.
The corcner quoted Mannetti as
saying he didn't see Griffin until
he was on top of him. Mannetti was
proceeding toward the center, the
coroner said.
Six witnesses were examined by
Coroner Hennessy during his pre-
liminary investigation. These includ-
ed passengers in the Manetti car and
the occupants of another vehicle
which stopped at the scene.

for a more specific statement Of the
facts In the case.
The case has attracted consider
able attention here and throughout
the state. Gmitraz claims that he
was falsely imprisoned In the Wa
tertown Jail as q result Of malicious
and Illegal action on the rart Of the
judge and prosecutor.
The facts In the case set forth
that Gmitraz was fined in the Wa
tertown court on charge Of robbery
from the person and given a 30 day
suspended jail sentence. Several
days after the case was disposed Of
1t was reopened, according to the
grounds set forth In the suit, and
the suspended jail sentence revoked.
He remained In the WATERFOWL jail
while his counsel, Atty. John F.
Tobin, was taking legal procedure to
bring about his release.
At the time Of the revocation Of
the suspended jail sentence Omitraz
claims that an appeal In his case
had been taken to the local court Of
common pleas and he sets forth that
neither Justice Pope or Prosecutor
Flynn had jurisdiction In the case.
He claims that he was forced to
expend much money in legal fees to
bring about his release from jail
and suffered much embarrassment
and loss Of reputation.
The motion on the short calendar
list asks for more specific infotma-
ton as to just what malicious acts
were performed by Grand Juror
Flynn In bringing about the reopen
ing Of the case and what alleged in
huence was used by the prosecutor
on Justice Pope to reopen the case.
! With the announcement in court
by Attorney Tobin that he was will
ing to file the additional specific in
formation sought Judge John H.
Cornell permitted the action to be
declared off the short calendar list.

Thanksgiving!
Governor Proclaims
Thursday, Novem-
Der 80 as Official
Day For
Prayers.

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 1O-(UP)
Gov. Raymond e. Baldwin to-
day followed the ancient GUS
tom" Of Connecticut and pro-
claimed Nov. 80 as Thanksgiving
day.
1t was believed, however, the
executive would proclaim Nov. %
as a bank holiday to conform
with other states.
The governors Thanksgiving
proclamation follows:
Following an ancient custom OF
the people of our beloved state
and acting in accordance with a
statute of our General Assembly,
I hereby appoint Thursday, Nov
ember 80, next, day Of public
Thanksgiving.
Our custom and our statute
were both born at that earnest
zeal In our forefathers to give
humble and hearty thanks for the
mercy and bounty of Almighty
God. They saw, as we see, the
changing moon mark the progress
Of the seasons; the white of win
ter snow melt into the green of
spring; gentle summer come with
growing crops to run her course
and leave behind field and Or
chard rich with harvest; and ma
ture ciothe herself for autumn In
her most dazzling garment be-
fore again wrapping her snowy
mantle about her for winter sleep.
"They knew, as we know, that
a heavenly power by means past
human understanding doth work
this round, offering in each sea-
son a full store Of beauty and
goodness. They humbly received
his mercy and bounty with graft
tud1 and faith.
gre we meet with kin and
friend for feast and fun, let us go
to o place of worship and there
bow our heads in reverent prayer
Of thanks for the goodness and
loving kindness Of Almighty Cod"

Hartford, Nov. 10-The current
national agricultural problem, trade
barriers, will be given serious con-
sheraton at the 9th annual meet
ing Of the Connecticut Vegetable
Growers association in the Cote
street armory, New Haven on De-
cember 8 and Z. Realizing that this
country cannot exist as its founders
intended nor as is economically nee
essary today, If 1t is divided into as
subdivisions, the growers in Con-
necticut are attacking the problem
so that "free" trade may once more
be resumed between the several
states.
Although Connecticut is not gen.
orally considered an export vegetable
producing state, 1t has been con-
servatively estimated that during
peak season at least 1-3 of the pro-
duce Is sold out of state. Strawber-
ries are one of the major crops and
have to cross several state lines as
many of them are shipped as far
away as Maine and Pennsylvania.
w. G. Meale of the bureau of agri-
cultural economics, U. S. D. A.,
Washington, D. G. has been secured
to discuss this national problem on
the first day of the meeting. This
years program is being arranged
under the auspices of the Vegetable
Growers of the New Haven market
area with G. r. Turner of Hamden
as general chairman. Mr.. Turner, as
sisted by eight committees, an
nounces that the program will in
clude wide variety of talks on sub
jects of Importance to the Connec-
'ticut vegetable grower by recognized
authorities in their respective fields.
In addition to the speaking program,
there will be a large trade exhibit
with more than SO spaces provided
for the showing Of machinery, bas-
kets, fertilizers, seeds, insecticides
and other products necessary to the
industry.
