 LOSE GAME TO
 CRANT-MANDLY
Benefit Golf Match at TOr- rington Features Four
 of Games Best

Torrington, July 8-Holly Mandy, Evon, Connecticut and New Eng land amateur golf champion. teamed with Bobby Grant, Wethers1eld, for- mer Connecticut and New England ruler, to score a 4 and 3 victory over Gene Sarazen, National Open rum ner-up. and Paul Bell, Torrington Country Club pro, in a benefit golf match at the Torrington Club Sat- urday. The amateurs poster a best ball of 65 to the pros 69.
 Grant, who holds the local course record of 68, was the hottest mem- Der of the foursome. And he'd have smashed the standard he establish ed in 1884 and equalled twice since then if some of his putst for birdies had dropped. As 1t was he turned in five sub-par holes and might have again equalled the record if he hadn't pulled his drive out of bounds on the 18th. The penalty giving him a 60.
 Bobby shot the best first nine he's ever registered at the local course, two-under par 34. The round was featured by a 30-foot putt for bird on the eighth. He was well on the way to another record equaller when he turned up with the bad tee shot on the 18th, which left him one under par for the back nine with Q 35.
 Sarazen, one under on the out trip, found loads of trouble on the home journey and went four over, having to be satisfied with "A for the match. Mandy, two over at the turn. returned to form for the return trip and scored seven pars and two birds for a two under 34, giving him 72 for the match. Bel banged hame three birdies on the first nine and two more on the sec- ond. But he wasn't consistent and ran into trouble on several holes finishing with 77.
 The match was for the benefit of the Connecticut Junior Republic of Litchfleld. The Frederic 0. Walcott Fife and Drum Corps of that insti- tuition entertained with a concert and fancy drilling before play start ed. About 200 witnessed the exhibit ion.

The case.
In a conspiracy case of this ma

to leave nothing to the magma
ton" the jurist said at one stage.
Defense counsel should frame their
questions 50 as to bring no eXtran-
aous matter before the jury.
Cne cannot but feel the tenseness
of the situation in the crowded

timidation of witnesses and .hfeats

he visited IWahashi in that capacity
DO you mean to say you gave
him 40 shares of your club and paid
him $3.50 per month for no con-
sideration Whatever?" Attorney
Helvey asks incredulously.
Yes" Iwahashi mods vigorously
The testimony develops that when
Yamamoto has an encounter with
the law. Iwahashi took back the 4o

Details of Wilhelms death were

Prince Wilhelm, the eldest son
of former crown prince Friedrich
Wilhelm, had been regarded by
many as candidate for the throne
in event of a Hohenzollern restor-
alton. But he renounced his rights
in April 1893, when he married
Fraulein Dorothea Won Salviati.
The Prince, it was understood at
The time, became engaged without
consulting his father or the ex-
Kaiser. who was reported grieved
by the action Of his favorite grand
son. Fraulein Won Salviati was
descended from an old Italian
noble family but her mother came
of simple bourgeois stock.
Under the old code Of the PruS-
sian ruling house a HohcnzOllern
could marry only a member of a
German or foreign princely family.
Prince Wilhelm was educated at
Potsdam and in 1916, according to
Hohenzollern custom, he became
honorary lieutenant but lost his
