The formal opening, last evening of
the enlarged Blue Ribbon g-arage at
tracted, many people Interested in au
tomobiles of 'various descriptions. Receiving-
hours" were from 8 until -.12

the garage received a flower as A sou

While-many were-enjoying the time
socially." and .in listenin'g- .to the excel

others 'found their enjoyment
in viewing- the perfect equipmejit of
the garage and the many models .
Those professionally interested in the
automobile- world realized at" a. glance
the progresslveness. of the concern and
the modefnness of-i the place. .The
average1 laymen could also appreciate
that the garage is a distinct credit' to
the citv as well- as to: the -proprieties

was foundvto -be absolutely necessary
In order to, keep -up" with the: march
of progress. Alreany considered to be
a model and: one of the leading gar
ages in the country, ' t,he- old quarters
were .proving; inadequate. .! 'The oppor
tunity of malting -the desired aidditlon
came when the Blue .Ribbon Auto and
Carriage iCfC moved' their plant to the
West End, .: leaving the ' commodious
quarters on Cannon street vacant. -
They, were, not allowed to remain
vacant however. Located just "back -of
the garage "then in ' use, it was pecu
liarly: fitted for the purposes desired.
The addition not -only added tremen
dously' to the facilities: of the garage
but - gives . frontage on both ' Ftairfleld
avenue and Cannon street. -This: is
considered ' particularly desirable.; 5 :.
' With the addition there are J 5,0 00
square feet now-devoted to the extend
save repair department under the per

popularity, attention to business . and
reputation of giving only the best' in

effect that, the dnf onma-tlon and ; mat
ters of the- charge rare Insuffloient in
law. ': The-spectea demurrer corctadned
! nineteen coutnts, . and.' set '-up- .among
other- things that the state: has failed
to connect iMSr. Mellon with the killing
in that the' charge does not specifically
state Uie in&nner and means by which
the killing' was done. ' i-, v " ':- :" h
. Attorneys Homer S. - Cummings - of

Mr. MelleTk . ' ': '.' '
S date's Asttorney Stiles Judson, who
alone appeared for the state, insisted
that the accusation' was sufficient and
he - vigorously - opposed . the contention
that the state should ibe compelled to
ddsclose byf what means they meant
to prove Mr. Mellen gwilty.i . ... ,k V:
"The state never reveals what evi
dential facts it;- may have uatU : they
are revealed in -a - court room,' . de
clared the state's attorney. - ' ;
Attorney Nickerson -in Ihis argniiment
said. In part: - ;;:"' '-, j-v,-:
; JThere is not a single thing th this
indictment-to connect Mr. MeHen with
the crime of which he is accused. In

"In this ease It is ohajnged that one
Jane Doe came to her death, by bura-
lag at ' Westport on " October 3, 3.913, In
a ., fire that was aaready "burning, but

there was, no- axe. No one of the fire

' " "The coroner went - "to that West

State's1 Attorney Judson then tfuoted
a number of cases in which; officials of

committed toy corporations. . , r -"A
"The - engineer - in A. this - Westport
wreck 'hfud 50 demerit : marks dn two

. Attorney , Willdam B. Board man in
summing -uip, said: ': 1 ' 'i
; "I challenge the state to iprove the
facts concerning overworked condi
tion of this engimeer which ihe raas
stated here. The facts are the en
gineer was given all necessary time
as required! toy the federal lawt ;
- "It is astondshlng 4f. the state does

there is no order In the railroad com
miesioiners' ' office requdrdng' this "comr'
party to equdp its oars wltfh fire ex

.connect Mbr. Mellen with this Oase
there ds an entire lack of allegation,
v "No act of the accused that caused
the killing is cited. We claim that
these should be definitely stated, step
by steip -to show the connection of the
accused- with thds-xiharge.'' . , . - . '. ' '
' In closing ' the argument for , Mr.
Mellen Attorney . Boardman riaid: "It
mav be verv . TitT-f-l. for -Mjr-.--Mellen
to , toe . notified beforehand Just what
act is reiiea upon ;ty the state aa the
act which-.he committed which caused
the death of Jane Doe. " What act did
he commit-that caused the fire1 to burn
Or smoke to be emitted ? "What act did
he .commit .which caused the smoke
to come about her -or caused the fire
to Ibe brought to her? There is no
aHegatioh that he', picked up a" brand
and set her on fire or choked or suf
focated iter, by. tie' smoke. . It. is a
right to which Mr. Mellen is constitu
tktnaJIy entitled to toe informed of the
mode -and method ' in which he com
mitted this particular crime.' It' was
not he . who. suffocated her.. ... It ; was
the fire- ahd smoJte. . ' If .the state is
going back further it must show, that
he did . some .acf -whllesittingl in New
Haven . or Boston '; ors New York or
omitted to some act which caused the
fire to burn and - ther smoke to . be
brought next to her and . caused her to
toe ,-burned."i . , . . ! .- " .- . ' A -: .
At -this point State's Attorney Jud
son interrupted to sayr.'.'You need not
spend time; if you, want me to allege
hoW the fire was caused I will do so."
.Attorney! Boardman rA "Then if you
are willing :to do , so this must be a
confession that in this complaint you
have failed to. state the necessary
facts." ' - - '
Judge Tuttle: "Suppose you let' Mr.
Boardman finish." - :
A(Jadson: "Xei if he ever will finish."
-. Attorney .Boardnmn. then continued
to show that the state must allege the
particular .act ' committed toy the- in
dicted and -cited cases of arson causing
death. Reading fromwift 2-284 on

ney Boardman had lust Ibeerun "Now
as to? the ; hgine'er'S-lien State's At

tinued Ills reading 'until Judge Tuttle
stopped him' to say: "What is that' you

a slight titter ran through the court

' State's Atoraejr Judson then read an

however, believed that it. fully nega

."Everything is there ' fully set forth
