NO, Il Wash anything ne did
it was something he didn't do.
Namely. it was that he didn't
knock Billy Conn clear over the
right field fence at the Polo
Grounds in the first round of the
fight that warm June evening last
year instead of being forced to
dilly-dally for some IS minutes
before he could step in and make
the kill.

II he had been Conn's weight,
Yale would have won the fight.
As it was, he carried off most of
the plaudits and whatever glory
there was it will take a long time
for Conn to erase the memory he
gave some $4,000 people last night
and 1t will take a long time for
Louis to forget that this fumbling,
do-nothing, stingless wasp gave
him such an evening last June.

first and second parts themselves.
Conn was dull, gun-shy in the
later rounds and as full of fight
as a sofa cushion. Yale was will
ing, rugged and unable to get
close enough to his opponent to
do real harm.

ent on the second floor of the city

cupy it.

TITLE CLEARANCE
TO PROPERTY aim
Land In Waterville On
Sheffield Street Changed
Hands Three Times

Clearance of title to Sheffield
street, Waterville, property, which
has changed hands three times since
1914, is sought in a civil action filed
in superior court today by Leslie A.
Fluno of Thomaston, and jeremiah
T. Mccarthy of Waterbury. Named
defendants in the suit are Edward
P. Grilley, julius P. Grilley, James
P. Goodwin and Emily f. Goodwin,
all formerly of Waterbury, and now
deceased.
According to papers filed in the
case, the following transactions in
volving the real estate have taken
place since 1874:
On March 2 of that year, Joseph
Burton and Aaron Benedict con-
veyed title to the premises to the
Grilleys. On July /, 1880, ]. P. Good
win filed a $500 certificate of at
tachment against the land, and on
September 8 of the same year lodged

Goodwin died June 8, 1893, and
Emily E. Goodwin, executrix of his
estate, transferred the property to
Augusta M. Pearson on February

The plaintiffs allege that no rec
ords exist showing what happened
to the interest in the land of julius
P. Grilley, or how J. P. Goodwin &C
quired possession of it. They main
tain that the defendants may have
a legal claim against the property,

Louis Wassong Freed
In Hayden Fatality
ThOmastOn Youth Abselved OF Criminal Negligence
In Watervile Accident Last Month

Louis Wassong, Jr., 81, of $40
South Main street. Thomaston, was
absolved of criminal negligence in
the automobile death of Joseph
Hayden, IA, of 257 Sheffield street,
Waterville, Dec. 81, when struck
by Wassong's automobile in front
of the Waterville post Office on
Thomaston avenue, in a finding to-
day by Coroner Miles F. McNiff, Jr
Coroner McNiff states Wassong
was driving his car north on Thorn
aston avenue when he struck hte
deceased, throwing him to the
juries which resulted in the elderly
ground and causing him serious in
pedestrians death at the Water
bury hospital several hours later.
The finding says Wassong's car
was proceeding in a fairly contin-
uous stream of traffic at the time
of the accident at about Is or 20
miles per hour. The coroner said
the deceased proceeded to walk
through the stream of traffic going
south and continued directly across
the north-bound lane to the point
where he was struck.
Coroner McNiff declared Wassong
applied his brakes SO the wheels
were locked before the impact took
place and that he came to a stop
within 10 feet of the point of con-
tact with the deceased, adding 1t
was dark at the time of the acct
dent and headlights of cars were
lighted. He pointed out there was
a street light at the south corner
of the intersection and a brightly
lighted gas station on each corner
of the intersection. Cars were
parked against the curb on either
side of Thomaston avenue near the
intersection.
The finding asserts Wassong did
not see the pedestrian and was I'M
able to avoid the accident, al
though he made all efforts to do
SO.
Coroner McNiff says: II find that
said death was not caused by the
criminal negligence of Louis Was
song, Jr., within the meaning of
any penal statute relating to death
by operation of a motor vehicle"
