ONE YEAR IN JAIL FOR GARDNER Voluntown Man Found Guilty of Manslaughter Judge Con- siders Plea For Leniency Case Against Leroy Morgan Nolled Criminal Term Adjourns Till January 28. The jury In the trial of John F. Gardner of Voluntown on the charge of manslaughter returned a verdict of guilty late Friday afternoon in the superior court here. State's Attorney Hadlai A. Hull moved for sentence at once and after a plea made for Gard ner by his counsel. Thomas M. Shields, Judge Shumway sentenced the pris oner to one year in jail. The sentenc ing of Gardner was the concluding act of the court, which they adjourned to come in again for criminal business on the fourth Tuesday in January. Arguments in the case against Gard ner for the killing of Eugene T. Fra zler of Voluntown were made on Fri day by his counsel. Attorneys Shields and Edmund W. Perkins, and by tetate s Attorney Hull. and Judge Shumway gave his charge, placing the case in the hands of the jury at 2.48. After two hours and ten minutes they reached a verdict and reported through Foreman George F. Adams that they found Gardner guilty as charged. On the grounds that provocation for the assault had been given 'and that the prisoner had previously borne a good reputation. Attorney Shields pleaded foreleniency for his client.. The state's attorney addressed the court, saying that he did ;iot desire a heavy sentence to be imposed, but he thought it ought to be a state's prison sentence. He disbelieved the stories of the as sault which the prisoner had told, he said, and considered it probaole that the kick that broke Frazier's wind pipe had been given when he was ly ing on the floor, and might have been given by a stamp of the heel. Sen tence might be 15 years, but he did not ask for that. " Good Reputation Counted. Judge Shumway in imposing sen tence told Gardner that the appearance of Gardner's employers in the Vol untown mill to testify to his good character was a consideration which had weighed with him and moved him to make the sentence one year in jail. The judge then thanked the jury and discharged them, and the criminal term of court was adjourned till Jan uary 2S in Norwich. It is understood on good authority that Gardner might have received a sentence of six months in jail if he had been willing on Thursday to plead guilty to simple assault, but he de clined.

A bouquet of roses was presented to 'Mr. O'Brien by the Knights of Colum bus, to which he made a characteristic speech, during which he intimated that his supply of speeches for flowers had been exhausted, but he had prepared a very nice speech for a gift of a gold handled umbrella which might be used on a future occasion.
