Judge Edward M. Lockwood was de-

stein but $25 without costs in the Nor-
walk Town Cottrt this morning. for the
law provides that the judge may fine
the person charged with cruelty to ani-
mals as high as $250 and sentence hit
to a year in all, or he may have both
fine and sentence meted out to him
together. '
The court‘ was‘opcned and Attorney
Joseph R. Taylor, for the defendant
entered a demurrer, following It plea
of not guilty.’ The statements from
both attorneys were taken, and At
torney Taylor based his excuse for
the” plea as the impatience of his client
at the inability to get his bovine off
the trolley tracks before a car came,
provoking a little prodding quite nat-
uIrally.
Captain Thomas Hunt, who made
the arrest says that three trolleys
passed the spot all right while he was
' there.
At any rate Judge Lockwood found
Epstein guilty and imposed a tine of
$25 without costs. An appeal was tak-
en immediately and bonds wore fixed
at :75.
it was learned after court that the
mattei is to be settled on Monday: the
defendants deciding that they had

sidering that they~only laid their plans
a. week ago. The attendance was
large and the hospitality dispensed by
the young men in charge of'that varie
ty which is always acceptable.
The hall was beautifully- decorated
for the occasion with red and white
streamers, strung from the center to
the four walls and completely hiding
the ceiling. The orchestra was she

PORTIAU-PRINCE, Haiti, March 9.
~Ge11. Jules Coleen, the former will:
any tyrant of Haiti, was condemned
to death today by a jury in the crim-
inal court on the charge of having
ibeen the principal author of the fus-
illade of March 16, 1908, in which ten
persons, including three of his own
brothers, were shot to death.
The accomplices of Coicou in the
terriblec rime were acquitted.
The date of the execution has not
been settled.
Gen. Jules Coicou. who was at the
time of the outbreak in Port- au Prince
in 1908 military commander of the dis-
trict, was chiefly known for his tyran—
nical character. He was at that time
said to thoroughly hate all white peo-
ple. and be threatened to “carve out
the hearts of all his enemies.” He is
absolutely illiterate and while he was
in miles used a rubber stamp for sign-
ing documents. no betrayed his
brothers, Masailon, Horace and Pierre
Louis, to President Alexis on March
14, 1908. and personally directed their
execution on the following day. At-
together on. that occasion he killed

hour, but only ten of these murders
were included in the crarge against
