The infant was fully de- veloped and was probably nat more than three days old. Around its neck was tied a cloth bag which was weighted with three stones which were not of sufficient size, however, to keep the body on the bottom and hide the crime. A Hartford newspaper, bearing the date of January 4, was found in a crevice of rock nearby and it is thought that the infant was car- ried to the pond in it . As decomposition had apparently set in but a short time previous to the discovery, the authorities believe that the body was in the pond only a few days. Medical Examiner T. G. ‘Wright, who conducted the investiga- tion, gave permission to W. Allen Bailey and company for the burial of the body. Autopsies are not®ustom- ary in cases of this character and no effort was made to ascertain whether the child was dead when it was placed in the water. : The authorities are paylng some at- tention to the report of a.trolleyman who claims to have seen a woman in a sand car near White Oak at an early hour Thursday morning. Ac- cording to a motorman the crew on an early car attracted to car by moans and on investigation they discovered a woman asleep on the floor. They believed her to be under the influence of liquor and paid no further attention to her. The wom- an is said to have been seen later in the day wandering about the Moun- tain View section in her bare feet. No one in that locality appears to know anything concerning her. The discovery of the body makes the third infanticide case in Plainville in the past two years. None of them hag ever been solved. Mrs. Frank Bristol Dead. Mrs. Susan H. Bristol, widow of Frank M. Bristol, died yesterday af- ternoon at her home on Broad street from pneumonia after a two Weeks’ illness. She had been in a critical condition for the past few days and her death was not unexpected. She is survived by a daughter, with whom she resided. She was born in Salisbury and was in her eighty- eighth year. Funeral services will be held this evening at 7:30 at the Advent Chris- tian church. Rev. L. F. Baker will officiate. The interment will be in Waterbury tomorrow, the funeral party leaving Plainville on a special trolley car at 9 o'clock. 185 Banquet Tickets Sold.

Andrew Bors of the Southington road sustained a loss of about $100 carly this morning when his chicken coops were destroyed by fire. Fif- teen hens and over sixty young chickens were roasted in the blaze. The fire, Mr. Bors believes, was caused by a lamp in an incubator which he had installed in the coop. His slumbers were disturbed about 2 o'clock by the crackling of the flames and by the time he got out of the house the coops were practi- cally destroyed. The fire department was not called on.

Ex-Governor Woodruff, in a recent address in this city before a body of business men was very emphatic in denunciation of the avalanche of worthless new laws that is finding its way into the official records of the various states and the federal govern- . ment. He was of the opinion that many of the members of congress were hardly qualified to determine what was needed in the way of necessary legal enactments, There was much in the llne of senseless legislaton put on the books with the seal of con- gress and the state legislatures to give it officlal emphasis and this was all to be regretted, as people would in good time find out. The former gov- ernor evidently has had his experience for he was at the head of the state the Church of Our Lady of Mercy next Sunday morning at 10.30, A solemn high mass will be celebrated.

Froquently there has come th criticism that it would be a fine thin for the state of Connecticut if th legislature would take a rest for number of years and that the st would not be at any loss over omission of these legislative gath ings. In fact, prominent men has been heard to say that it would be great gain if the Connecticut makers would simply meet to of sider and approve the necessary b for the state expenses and work that nature and then adjourn.
