FOR TOMORROW
in this
The same dash and spirit that
characterised the closing days of the
first period of The Evening Sentinel
Prize- Campaign is noticeable in the
efforts put forth.by many of the can-
didates With the opening days of this
second period. Everywhere will be
found workers whose chief desire is
to own one of the three cars to be
presented free on March 8; who are
backing their ambition with energe-
tic efforts to secure subscriptions and
votes.
As stated Jeforc the opening fort»
night of the campaign was devoted
chiefly to prellmlnyary work, the cam-
paign department utilizyg this time
in becoming acquainted with those
who were in earnest in their desire
to win. ”weeding 0m." those who ex-
pressed no desire to aid the good work
started by their friends. The candi-
dates on their part. were going from

and vote coupons.
This campaign really started with
the past week when candidates made
their first. real efforts to secure on the
support promised them. Practically
every worker has his or her own list
of prospective helpers. all pledged to
do their best to make a. winner of
their favorite. So evenly was the sup;
port divided among the large field
that the close of the first'period a few
days ago left the race in such a con-
dition that it is impossible to pick a
prospective winner.

early hour in the morning of Decem-

taken to the Norwalk Hospital, suf-

from which he later died. A man
named Frank Gilbert, a stranger here.
engaged in a fight at. the same time
with Delilartino and another young
man. during the course of which he
sustained a bloody nose. Some of this
blood is saidgto have gotten on‘De-
Martino’s coat sleeve and in freeing
DeMartino, Judge \‘osburgh comment-
ed on this fact, saying that if Gilbert's
nose had not bled, that he would have
been forced to bind Delilartino over
as the blood on his coat could only
have come fionr Branagan who was
bleeding from the car when his un-
conscious form was found in the
street. This coupled with the fact
that there was no testimony that De-
- Martino had mixed up in the brawl
with Branagan._ or had been
to him than to stand alongside of
Sheehan. as the testimony showed,
caused him to discharge him.
Sheehan's fight with B *anagan and
the testimony of witnesses and also
his own statements that he struck the
sergeant. forced Judge Vosburgh to
find probable cause and to hold the
young man for trial by a jury. It was
his belief that the blow that Shee-
hau struck Branagan caused the lat-
ter to stagger back and to probably
fall and sustain the fracture. sogthst
really Sheehan's .blow was instrumen-
tal in causing Branagan's death.
The trial lasted the greater part of

and there were a. number of interested
spectators. Considerable sympathy is
