Determined in Favor of the Defendant
~Nadsl Gets Judgment for $139-
Mre. McGowan Wina Suit
For Rent.
Judge Russell Frost this morning
Rave decision in three cases tried re-
cently in the Norwalk Town Court.
The first one was that of Lockwood
if: lves against Peter Geitz. The de-
fcndant, Geitz, owed the plaintiffs sev-
enty-five cents. Lockwood it lvcs sued
to recover the amount. and attached a
bicycle of Geltz. and served a copy of
the writ on him. The copy of the writ
proved to be defective. because in the
original writ the year given was 1901. '
and in the copy left with the defend-
ant it was 1900. The defendant.
through his attorney. filed a plea in
abatement. setting out the defect. to
which the plaintiffs filed a demurer.
Judge Frost. in his decision, sustains
the demurrer, which practically deter-
mines the case in favor of the defend-
ant.
The case of Jacques Nadal against
John Mahoney was tried on its merits
before Judge Frost. and his decision t“
that judgment for $139 damages and
costs be entered in favor of the plain-
tiff. on Wednesday. January 30. 1001.
at 10 o’clock. a. m.. at the court room
in South Norwalk. when an appeal
will be allowed to either party desir-
ing the same, upon his furnishing a
bond in the sum of $60. with surety ac
ceptable to the other party or satisfac-
tory to the clerk of“ the court This
was an action for thc conversion of a
quantity of jewelry.
The thirdcnsn was. that of a demur-
er in the saucer Margaret McGowan
against Henry Wood for rent. The no
swer of the defendant alleged that the
property was untenaptabie, and that
by that reason if ‘tléfondant was not
obliged to pay rent? To this answer
the plaintiff demurred, and Judge
Frost sustains the demurrer.

Leading Advocate of Constitutional
Revision Talk; of its Progress.
Melbert B. Gary. of Ridgefield. for-
mer chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee. was in New lla-
ven Saturday. on private business. Mr.
Gary is one of the most advanced con-
stitutional reformers in the state. lie
has given mo ‘fifattcr deep thought
and has illuminated thc subject in sev-
eral treatises and magazines and news-
paper articles. To it Register reporter
he freely expressed his vicws on tnc
apparent progress which the idea oi
constitutional reform has made under
the prcscnt administration. He was
very hopeful of its ultimate success.
In answer to questions put by the re-
porter. Mr. Gary said:
"The position which (lovcrnoi' Mc-
Lean has takenf'on constitutional re-
form is very encouraging to as (Can-
stitutional reformers). Of course he
does not .' .ijyianotlgh. But when a
Republicaaggfpernor admitcs that the
represelftiltlomln the House of Repro-
sentativesh‘ls no,fair and should be
made more villi ‘ according to popula-
tion. and dodamdt regard the Senate
as the popular body. a long stcup lil ud-
vancc has be urtaktui. This progrcss
must be i (Alton: to iliosc who have

iicc of ilio‘ pile of rcprcsoniiitloii 'in
tlic lower brnno‘li of tho lclzislaiiiii-c on
the basis of population.
"The Reform Association believes
that the only feasible way by which
this reform can be effected in by a
constitutional convention. and it I:
just here (iovoruor Mcl.ciin find his
political friends us well as several
legislators differ with us. liiit all
agree that i'cform is needed. The dif-
ference is only a question of method
and We may therefor takc hope of the
prospect. We are satisfied to have
the matter submitted to tho represen-
tatives of the people in a constitutional
convention."
. it was here suggested by the report.
or that a constitutional convention
would in all probability be composed
of representatives from the various
towns as they are at present elected
to the enerei Assembly. and Mr. cm
was as ed how he thought such an
assemblage would trout the subject
differently from the General Assembly
as at present constituted. Mr. Gary ra-
plied:
“it would be a convention organized
for the special purpose of reforming
the constitution. . its members would
han than what their constituents’
views ware. and the outcome Would
naturally be the embodiment in a new
constitution of the people's opinion of
what they Want. We want exactly
that. This is a adornment of the new
pic. and if the result should not be sip
actly satisfactory to some of us we
should abide by it." ~
Mr. Gary chillingly answered the
question. as to what he thought the
present General Assembly Would do in
the; premises by saying he had no
means of knowing.

testify at a trial, and was on that account entitled to the clemency of
the court. He then sentenced Howard to two years and ten months
