CHAPTER TX

BY this time, the evening bull ses-
sions have worn themselves into q
very definite routine. If Corporal
Ussery is there, he lectures on how
he'd run the Army; If it's Private
Terrence Clarkin, he tells how he
used to direct the intricate traffic
affairs Of Radio City Music Hall
when he was assistant chief doorman
there. Unless Private Henri Geld
.ers is stopped, he'll start violent
argument among the butchers over
how to cut steak.
McGlauflin will talk for hours
about the beauties Of the lakes in
Minnesota. Grafenstein will deliver
discourses on how he would run the
Wisconsin football team; Pappas,
about Alabama's Crimson Tide. Ma
ciejewski will sermonize on the ut
ter baseness and treachery Of wom-
.anhood.
Lately, however, the sessions have
come more and more under the
sway of Private Merton Hulce, a
mad Irish lad from Muskegon, Mich
igan. Private Hulce apparently
didn't stop at kissing the Blarney
Stone. He must have stolen half
of it to carry with him.
Hulce's chief topic of CONVERSE
ton is his mothers fabulous family,
the Smiths, all of whom seem to
get enmeshed in every war that
comes along. His grandfather, who
was a captain in the Coast Guard
at the outbreak of the last war, was
transferred to duty at guarding mu-
nitions dumps and such for the dura-
ton of the war.
According to Hulce, one Of the
munitions guards with his grandpa
theirs detail was approached late
one night by an officer Of the guard.
''Halt!" shouted the sentry, and the
officer halted. Advance to be rec
ognized!" said the sentry, and the
officer advanced. The sentry for

ing ON it.
got to order "halt" again and the
officer came within foot of him.
Suddenly the officer reached out and
snatched the rifle from the guard s
hand.
This was an exceedingly uncom-
Portable position for the guard, espe-
cially in that time of war. He might
even have been sentenced to death.
The officer stood there just looking
at the guard for fully a minute.
"What would you have done," he
asked in a terrible voice, "if an
enemy had got your gun like that?"
The guard trembled for moment
and recovered. 81 would have
snatched it back, sir" he said, ''like
THAT" And the officer stood there,
empty-handed.
Hulce's grandfather, who told that
story, is now about sixty-fve, his
grandson says. He was asked to
come back into the Navy three
months ago as captain. Being a
Smith, he's back. With him in the
armed forces today are two of his
sons and two of his grandsons.
Merton had two uncles in the last
war, both of whom Jared exceeding
ly well when you take practical
view of it. Neither tired himself
out. The first crossed the ocean
nine times playing the clarinet in a
troop ships band. The Germans
torpedoed the boat once and the
holes in the side were stuffed with
mattresses. Hulce's uncle rode back
into port, still playing his clarinet.
That was the .goldbricking uncle.
The other uncle served as a kay
pee on the trip across. Carrying q
tray around the deck, he was heck
led several times by q person he
soon grew to loathe. Eventually the
Irish wrath Of the Smiths rose to
boiling point. Uncle Smith lifted
the tray high overhead and wrapped
il around the heckler's neck. He
spent the rest of the war In con-
finement.
Then there was the cousin, grand
mas sisters boy. Serving in the
front-line trenches, he grew suddenly
hungry one morning. Looking out

things, Maury Sher would be mine.

when I was in Battery A.
Private Sher is a smart and Xix
able Jewish boy from Columbus,
Ohio. He went to school at South
ern California, until he learned that
all the worlds knowledge doesn't
come from the intellectual invalids
who usually teach the $3.50 class.
Then he went back to Columbus,
had an idea patented, and built him
self a restaurant shaped like a
champagne glass.
Came the fateful Sixteenth of Oc-
tober and Sher enrolled for the Sc
lective Service System. His appli-
cation was accepted last July and,
since he had been the successful
proprietor Of a restaurant, he was
classified as promising student for
the Army cooking course.
The two Of us got together when
he was sent to the Replacement Gen.
ter here. We started an acquaint-
ance when I topped all his Jewish
Jokes and began teaching him how
to speak Yiddish. I was attracted
by his native intelligence, his pleas
ant personality, his sense of humor,
the similarity Of his likes and dis
likes to mine, his subscription to
PM, his well-stocked supply Of Gig
arettes (my brandy, and the cookies
he constantly received from home.
So we became more or less con-
slant companions. We made the

Hennessy Releases
Last Two Findings
Coroner Claims Joseph Keirs Death Not Due to Grim
iial Act Of Any Person; James Masara Freed
in Death of Paul Leasak

Coroner william 3. Hennessy as
his last official act issued two
findings today In which he said
the deaths were not caused
by any criminal act or care
lessness. Attorney Hennessy an
nounced his resignation earlier this
week and will be automatically sue
ceeded by his deputy, Miles F.
McNiff, Jr., who becomes acting
coroner.
Joseph Keiris, 66, occupant Of
an attic room In the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Kraunkle-
vich Of 105 Allen street burned to
death in that address July 20, 1912,
was trapped In the fire which was of
unknown origin "but not due to
criminal act Of any person" the
coroner found. The deceased went
to bed at o p. m. and was quite
intoxicated, according to the find
ing. Death was due to extensive
burns of the entire body.
Witnesses questioned includued
Dennis Keane of the Waterbury
fire department, Agnes Kraunkli-
vich, Joe Stankavich, Nand Michael
Kraunklivich, all of 1O5 Allen
street.
In the other finding, no criminal
negligence is found in the death of
Paul Leasak, Is, who was killed
the night of Sept. IL on the Bris-
tol-Waterbury road. LeaSak was
riding as a passenger in a car OPP
Grated by James Mascara, and with
Masaro and a companion, Robert
Cipriano, tried to help Mrs. Anne
Reilly by pushing her car which
was out OF gas, up the grade near
Cart Wheel Inn.
The finding states: "They at
tempted to render assistance by
pushing the Reilly car up the grade
by the process of putting the front
bumper OF the Masaro car against
the rear bumper Of the Reilly car
'arhe bumpers did not meet, the
Masaro bumper being slightly high
er than the rear bumper Of the
Reilly car. In view Of this the two
companions of Masaro, deceased
Leasak and Ciprano. balanced them
selves upon the Masaro bumper to
lower 1t, and they thus succeeded
In bringing the Masaro bumper 70
about the level Of the rear bumper
OF the Reilly car, and were able
10 push the car up the grade"
The car then rolled down the
hill. and was followed by the Ma
saFo car, which came TO O stand
still az the bottom OF the grade, the
finding states. Al this point, "in
come unaccountable manner and
without the fault Of the operator OF
either ear" Leasak lost his balance
and fell on the pavement. ne was
