 No More JalI
 Vowing that he won't be back when released this tlrne, Hu31ard said, "Every man likes freedom I want to get out, All told, I've spent % years behind jail walls and I still don't like t."
 "Me and four of my brothers did Q total of i68 years" he added, put none of us was bad. We just got started wrong."
 BuzSard, along with brothers John, Abe, Mike and Ike, comprised the notorious "1u1Eard Gang" that raid. cd throughout Lancaster, Berks and Chester counties 50 years ago. Their crimes consisted of general theft and burglary but they never restorted to violence, according to records.
 Brother Abe No. 1
 The number one horse thief, in BuzzardIs opinion, was Brother Abe, who got religion and conducted re- vivals in prison before he died ct the age of 85.
 He was the best derned hoss thief in the country" Buzzard states.
 Jos was caught stealing a horse from 6 farmer for the first time in 1878.
 When he stole two bedspreads in Wilmington, Del, seven years ago, the only thing that saved him from the States famed whipping post was his age Of 75.
 Machlne-Age Mistake
 Joe mourned the passing of the age of horses, when an error such as he made seven years ago would have been impossible. He stole e suitcase from a parked automobile and found it contained tennis shoes al for the left foot In the same melancholy frame of mind, the old man commented:
 "When a young man serves time, he may as well be put away for the balance of his life. There were nights when I stole because I need- ed the money. It's all right for peo- pie on regular payrolls to scoff at those who stole, but many of us make mistakes when we're desper- ate,"

CITY HAS GOOD
 BALANCE LEFT
Spent SO.9 Per Cent of Budget in Ten Months
 of l94l

Tine. City of Waterbury spent sos per cent of total appropriat tons from January l through October 3l and had I0.i per cent of its total budget available for November and December, a report by Controller Thomas M. Conlon showed today. Translatlng this into cash terms the city, during the first 10 months of the year, spent 44,0l6, ,662.63 of Q to- tai budget of $e.le1. .T62.24, leaving a balance of $i,ie4, ,036.02 available for the last two months.
 Analysis of departmental expendi- lures showed that all major city bureaus are living within their ap- propriations and have ample funds on hand for the. remainder of the year. A Sizeable sum will; be ayail- able for the city surplus from u1- expended appropriations.
 The le.1 per cent of the total. bud get on hand for the last two months Nof leAl reflects a favorable financial picture since, on a monthly percent age basis, only i6 2-3 per cent would have to be available for all depart ments to avoid deficits.
 The Welfare Department has 26 per cent of its appropriation left on October 31. The Police Department had 20.2 per cent. the Fire Depart nient IFS per cent, and the School Department, le.e per cent
 Savings in appropriations will sup- plement q large surplus in tax re- ceipts; the city having already cole lected far more in taxes than este mated in the budget.

Italian c. Q. P. Group Irate Over Recent Ex-
 pense Account

.Tie breach between tse Repub- hcan town committee and Italian e. o. P. voters has been further widened through exchange of re. erimtnstions between leaders of the two groups over campaign collec- lions and expenses. Each gide is blaming the other for the poor financial showing made.
 At0Wn committee report this week daSclesed expenditures of close to e6,OOO and contributions of little more than 1S 900, with elGnogt 20 per cent Of the contribution total be. Ing accounted for by 8 4i,000 cheek from the Perriello campaign conl- nfiittee. Tn a later report, the Per- riello committee, which worked through the Young Mems Italian Republican club for the election of ex-Mayor Patrick N. Perriello, re- ported expenditure of $2600 and collection Of 12,502.
 Italian Republican packers of Mir. PerrieIlo claim that the fact that their group raised almost half as much as the town committee shows tAat the organization exerted lit- tle efYort to help Mfr. Portfolios candidacy. They point 10 the ab- eence of many familiar names from the c. o. P. contribution list.
 The organization answers by claiming tlaat the campaign was hampered by g separate Italian or- ganization working for Mfr. Perrieilo and assert that all the funds raised should have been turned over to the town committee.
 Democratic leaders expect that many Italian voters have been per- nianently lost to the Republi3an party as 6 result of the city cleo. ton. They expect numerous defec. tions to be revealed during the spec cial congressional election Jan. 20. The views of Italian leaders. ex- pressed privately, strongly support %nis expectation.

A third case. listed on the tribunals docket, has not yet been printed, end probably will not be heard during the present session.
 Reversal of,a $7,o0O judgment en- tered by Judge A. s. Borden in Wa terbury common pleas court, in fa- vor of Barbara M. Silks of this city is asked by Helen B. and John T, Monzani, also of Waterbury.

The acci- dent, 1t was charged, took place on West Main street, on the northerly side of the Green, while the Silks woman was in the act of crossing between white lines serving as the boundaries of croeSwalk.
 As a sconsequence of the occur renee. the plaintiff claimed to have sustained permanent disability aris- ing from loss of function in the left knee joint. and was unable to pur- sue her regular occupation as a seamstress and clothes remodeler.
 The driver of the vehicle was acc cused of operating regligently and at an. excessive rate of speed, a con- tention sustained by Judge Borden in memorandum of decision. Atty Hugh J. McGill represents the plain- tiff. Appearing for the appellants is the law firm of. Bronson, Lewis, Bronson and Upson.
