Courts Open to Dispose of Many 0f fenders. With tilts arrival of September bus- iness at the county court house re- vives and‘ the tllbunals of Justice gel the lnills In motion. The criminal aides begin first. and when the com— mon pleas court opened its session this week there was a long list of up- pcal cases, mainly from the police court of Bridgeport, to be heard. The criminal superior court will come in m at Tuesday aftolnoon and the list of offenders to be handled is fully up to the average. The number of offenders at the Jail is up to flfty~ one, and more may come in between now and next Tuesday. There are also some offenders out on bonds. in the common pleas court, yesterday a number of cases were disposed Of. The next time Stephen Yansek has a dog to be licensed. he won't wait un- til he has had expclieuce in two courts before he pays the bill. Doggy could have gotten a nice lit- tle tag on his collar. for 11.15. Now it will not only cost the 11.15. blit Ste- phen will have to put up 132.44 more. which is the amount of fine and costs for taking his case through the city and common pleas courts. Stephen owned all animal which he thought much of. Officer Campana warned him that he must take out a license, but he dodged and evaded. Finally the officer took him in. in the city court they fined him $1 and costs. which amounted to $5.85 more. Ste- phen thought he could win out in the higher court. so he took the appeal. The Jury heard all about it yesterday morning. The average Jul'ylnan does not think much of a fellow who won‘t register his canine, so they promptly found Stephen guilty . The court only imposed the same title of 11. bllt in the meantime the costs had jumped up to 831. 44. Stephen looked sad when he heard the sentence. lle looked sadder when told that he must pay up or go to Jail. Then Mrs. Yalisek came to the res- cut. She had 130. but the officials said they must have the amount in full. The wife went out to hustle for the other 82. while the officers kept watch over Stephen. William Suyies was one of the fol- lows who bothlered the motormen and conductors back in the days of the great strike. His bothering was on June 8. In the lower court they soaked him 150 and costs, but he pleaded guilty in this IrQiilaal, and got off with 115 due. Henry Smith was another offender of a similar character. He was fined 125 and costs in the city court. That was on July 24. He was allowed to go with a Jail sentence of five days. Bryan Kerwin was given six months in Jail in the city court. for assaulting Rose Garvin. He pleaded guilty, and was fined 125 in this court. Peter Barry. of Stamford. had his case tried out. He was accused of as- saulting some peddle-rs. The Jury found him guilty. and he was fined 150 and costs. MEDALS FOR “MINUTE MEN" Decoration. for Members of --Firat Three Connecticut Regiments.

The motion to dismiss the indict- ment was made at the ilial yesterday by Richard W. l.lndubury. of counsel for the defendants. after the state had presented all its evidence and rested its case.

He then went on to state that the claim of lili‘ state that the dcralling swich is universally in use was no: rirovcd. its statistics allowed that less than ten per cent. of the trolley cross~ Inge ovcl steam railroad tracks were proxidcd with derailing switches.

The Chief Justice. thou referred to the rules of the North Jersey ltuilwuy Company as laid down to its culploye is as sufficient safeguards under ordinary circumstances, if they had been cal-- l'ltid um. He said that from the evidence it was apparent that If sand had been used as called for by the rules. had the car been stopped thirty feet from the crossing, as the rules called for, and had the (onduttor gone ahead to the crossing to signal the motel man. the accident would not have happened. The chief Justice said that the claim of the prosecutor that the front plat- form of the trolley car was so crowded with passengers that the motormsu could not use the brake was not prov- ed by the State. Not a single witness had been produced to show that any car up to the time of the accident had come down the grade not under con- trol. The Chief Justice said that in view of these facts all he could do was to order the Jury to return a verdict of not guilty in the case of all the de- fendants as the state had failed to show that any of them were criminally negligent. Justices Van Syckie and Dixon both concurred in the opinion of Chief Jus- tice Cummere and both made similar remarks to the Jury. The Jurymen did not leave the box, simply arose from their seats and the foreman, announced a verdict of not guilty. in compliance with the order of the Court. The Jury wase not polled. the Pure- man speaking for all the Jurymen. Six of thc dcfendants are millianaires of multl-mllllouaires. They were: John D. Crimmlns, of New York: A. J.
