, MURDER CASE
Youthful Slayer and
Kidnapper Called In-
sane By His Counsel
. In Court '
NEWARK. N. J.. Sept. 18.——(AP).
Argument of counsel for Harrison
Noel that the youthful slayer and
kidnappcr was not. sane and legally
could not plead either guilty or not
guilty. today resulted in Judge Caf—
frcy reserving decision from the
question until Monday.
Ilandcutfed to two other murder
suspects, Noel was taken to court to
plead to indictments charging him
with the murder of Raymond Pierce
a negro chauffeur. and tile kidnap-
ping of six year old Mary Daly.
Noel showed no interest in the
proceedings and kept his left hand
before‘hls mouth constantly. twitch-
ing nervously at his upper lip. His
gaze rested momentarily on Merritt
Lane. his attorney. and then strayed
about the room.
Lane contended that technically
Noel was still in the custody of the
Overbrook Insane Asylum as he had
never been legally freed from the
institution. For this reason he said
Noel was not able to plead for him-
self.
Assistant Prosecutor D'Aloia said
that the state held that Noel was
sane on September 5 when the
crimes were committed and was
now fully able to plead to the in-
dictment. -

Harry Archer, Summer
Resident of Marion

In Stamford
The opening of "Merry Merry" in
the Stamford Theater last night.
Harry Archer's newest musical com-
edy, was greeted with the same ap-
proval that marked his two previous
successes. "Little Jessie James" and
"My Girl". now on a ten ‘weeks' run
in Boston.
The new comedy. which received
its finishing touches while Al-cher
was summering at his Marian ave-
nue home in East Norwalk. came
down from Providence after a suc-
icessful showing last week in the old
Opera House. Providence. reputed
to be the most unemotlonal city theo-
retically in 'the East, turned out
packed houses for the new .how.
Last spring when "Little Jessie
James" played in the Rhode Island
city capacity: crowds turned out to
it. The second of Archer's comedies
{3? be presented there went just as
8.
Stamford hailed the new show.
“Merry Merry", in an equally on-
thuslastlo manner.
"It Musthe Love" and "My Own". ‘
the song hits rendered by Harry
Archer’s orchestra. were comparable
to "I Love You" and "Little Jessie
James" in previous Archer hits.
.The book and lyrics are written by
Harlan Thompson. who staged the
play.

Take Care of Matur-

Management
Under the able superlntendance of
Harry I. Bennett. the East Norwalk
Electric Light Plan: has been placed
on a paying basis and the Commis-
sioners have decided to lower the
rate for residence lighting. it was
learned today.
The Commissioners feel that the
time has arrived when the rate for
residence lighting can be reduced
without danger of the plant running
behind. They have therefore reduced
the rate 2 cents per KWH, which
change will appear on bills mailed
out on October 1. .
This was a reduction of from
18 to 11 cents per KWH.
The present active Commissioners,
Harry 1. Bennett and Stewart C.
Marshall ,have worked hard to bring
the plant up to an ellicicnt and pay-
ing basis. They are receiving the
tfianks of the Third District for
t eir untiring efforts.
Residents of the District realize
the amount of effort expended to
carry on the work and remember
the time when the plant was run-
ning behind and taxes were collect-
ed to how the plant running.
For the past number of years
the current has been purchased
from The Connecticut Light & Pow-
er Co. and the machinery formerly
used for generating current has
been discarded.
The Electric Department at the
present time ’IlaB a sinking fund of
530.000. which will take care of
bond maturing for the next ten
years and it is felt the lowering of
rate was advisable rather than to
accumulate a larger sinking fund.
