In answer to questions propounded to him by Chief Special Agent J. R. McMahon of the.

Carroll, another raiflroad i lve stated on the witness stand fBat he held a lengthy conversation fith Calhoun at the Berl Qgekup Saturday afternoon. A Rhat time the prisoner gave him a complete account . of his at- tempt to wreck the train, his state- pments agreeing with those made in - Iis written confession, i €alhoun Demonstrates to Detective. Mr. Carroll told of taking Cal- thoun to the scene of the attempted reck yesterday afternoon. The lat- ér was able, without the slightest difficulty or prompting, to locate al- most the exact spot where the tie had been found: He -showed a thorough knowledge of when and how the ob- struction had been placed on the rails, going 8o far as to drag another tie from the side of the roadbed and repeat his performance of Wednes- dgy. Officer’ Carroll’'noticed that Cal. héun walked around. looking for marks by which he might be sure he had located the exact spot in ques- tion. Furthermore, the .prisoner showed how he had run up the tracks ‘distance of almost a thousand feet, 1eaping into some bushes on the east .:f of the irack near Cooley's cross- ing. Calhobn'told the officer that it was from this hiding place that he satv the-engine of the train strike the tie and heard .the .engineer swear mdly. ‘Ofticer Carroll told the court that tHe tie, which hdd been picked up by the engineer, was brought to Hartford ana delivered to him. It has been under his care since and was brought té Berlin this morning to be used as an exhibit, 1 “Upon being summoned to the stand again.

I thought the train might be wrecked and I was afraid of being arrested. That's why I done that. I put the tie on the tracks to serve as a seat because I was tired and wanted to take a rest.” “Why did you want to sit on that dirty tie in the hot sun when you could just as well have sat down un- der the shade of ine bushes where you got the tie?” :sked the gprose- Gutor. 1y s “Well, T didn't know Jjust wifat I was doing,’ answered' the.other. “Were you drunk ?”’questioned the prosecutor. #No, I was a little misplaced.” In reply to a series of other ques- tions, Calhoun stated that he had never been.put-off of a freight train. He spent two nights last week at the “Open Hearth” in Hartford, he said. Contradicts Former Statement. “I stayed at the Open Hearth Tues- day night,”” asserted Calhoun. “If you d@id, why did you state pre- viously that you slept in a car in Meriden on that night?” asked the Prosecutor. ok “I just wanted to see what he'd say,” answered the prisoner, pointing his forefinger at Officer See. ‘“He told me about this whole business Friday.” Ambition to Be R. R. Detective. Questioned. further by Prosecutor Gibney, Calhoun told that he had at- tended school while between the ages of five and fourteen years. ‘“‘That was when I was young,” he said. Since that time Ke has taken a course in the C. T. Ludwig Detective corpora- tion' of Kansas City, Mo., having in view the possibility of obtaining ‘a position as a railroad detective. Asked if he had seen any of the re- cent wrecks on the New Haven road, the prisoner told that he saw the wreck n¢ar the Bridgeport circus grounds a few years ago, He did not assist the railroad in . any way at that time, he asserted. “To be real ‘truthful about this matter, didn’t you expect to flag that express Wednesday morning, John, ‘and receive a'reward from the rail- road ?”. asked the prosecutor. - “No, I didn’t,” was the answer. ‘- ‘Again pointing his finger at Officer See, Calhoun exclaimed: loudly, “That there man knows himself that he asked me if I heard anything about a wreck when he saw me Friday. That's all there’s to it anyway, just as sure as I'm here. ¥ou can . call up the Open Hearth and ask them if I wasn’t there Tuesday. That'll let you know if I did this business or In summing up the case, Prosecut- ing Attorney Willlam Gibney recom- mended that the mental conditien of the man be looked into if the judge considercd the evidence such as to warrant his being bound over to the superior court. After court -adjourned, Calhoun told Mr.. Gibney that, while studying on his detective course, he had learned quite a little about finger and foot prints and live shadow followins. For the past two years, his mother has been confined in a sanitorium in Norwich, he'said, being afflicted witn consumption. He has a married sis- ter in Booth’s Bay Harbor, Me. “I've got a brother who's dead,” added the .prisoner, “an I wouldn't mind being in his place. fellow comes along and does the bus- iness and then I come along and get the blame for the whole darned busi iy . ns Repudiates Previous Admission. Ha told the reporters that he didn’t have anything to do with “the bus- iness,” and that the first he heard of the matter was when told by Officer See on Friday. Asked why he made a confession and even accompanied the authoritips to the scene and went through a @demonstration, when, as a matter of fact, he was not -conr cerned, Calhoun answered that he was simply doing this to be obliging. Somedne asked him how he could locate the exact spot of the attempted wreck' {f he had not placed the ties there himself. He answered that he was endowed with a peculiar brain power which enabled him to tell just where things happened. During the investigation, Officer See found near the tracks at Cooley’'s crossing a pass admitting the bearer into the 101 Ranch Wild West circus, which was performing in Bridgeport on the date printed on the pass, June 6. A picture, found among Calhoun'’s effects, was dated June 5, and was taken at the circus grounds accorffing to an explanation written on & the reverse side. - Confessed to Officer Carroll. Officer Carroll heard the first con- fession made by the prisoner. He went to the town lockup Saturday and taiked with Callioun as a disinterested but curious friend. At first, the prisoner refused to admit anything, saying that another fellow, who had walked from Meriden with him, had placed the obstruction on the rails, He soon began to regard the of- ficer as a friend, however, especially after he bought him some cigarettes, and he then told his whole story, giv- ing as his reason for committing the crime the fact that he was “all in” and “wanted to take a Test.” In default of a bondsman Calhoun was removed to Hartford, where he will await his trial, PP S e Miss Lucy Pickup and Lowell Pick- up, of Lincoln street, spent the week- end with their brother, George B.

MAGNIFICENT FTREWORKS, Fluge Celebration on Park Visible From All Parts of City. Fireworks worthy in every way of a town with many times the inhabi- tants of New Britain were displayed before an immense throng of people on Walnut Hill park Saturday even- ing, From the first rocket to the concluding bomb, at the explosion in which it seemed that a whole fac- tory of fireworks was set off at once, the celebration was a decided suc- cess. It was visible not only from the park alone but also from all the higher parts of the city. The concert by the Philharmonic band was also one of the best that that organization of first class musi- cians has ever given. To the names of the contributors to the fund for fireworks which have already been printed, the following five ‘should be added: L. Monat, jr., J. R.. Fletcher, Willlam Middlemass, C. V. Parsons and George Talcott. WILL DESTROY GUNS. The large number of revolvers taken fiom prisoners arrested during the Fourth of July celebration will be destroyed as is the custom.

By Recent Transaction Hartford The- ater Comes to Local Manager, P. 8. McMahon, manager of Keéh- ey's theater, has cloged the deal with the Hartford Electric Light company for the purchase of the Empire Thea- ter building in Asylum street, Hart- ford. In addition to the bullding there are on the lot, of which the di- mensions are 90 by 175 feet, an auto- mobile garage at present rented by the Packard Automobile Agency, two stores and a basement suitable Ior manufacturing purposes. Mr. McMahon is one of the most suecessful moving picture theater managers in this part of the state. In this city, In addition to managing Keeney’s, he is building a new theater for moving pictures on North Main street. He has been renting the Em- pire Theater building in Hartford for some time. The Cabinet Big Enough. (Boston Herald.) % The American Medical association, insession at Atlantic City, has decided to conduct a propaganda for the es- tablishment of a national department of health, with a secretary of health who shall have a place in the cabinet. Fifteen reasons for this action are set forth, beginning with interstate char- acter of streams that may be polluted, and concluding with the death rate— in which we are all interested. This sounds good. But what is to become of our cabinet? Is it to be made a town meeting? The last de- partment created was that of labor. The first man selected to fill it is nec- essarily a radical. He has said a great many foolish things which now bear a certain administrative stamp. No president can appoint to that office a man whom the labor unions do not want, or thereafter fail to be governed to some extent by such an officer's conclusions in public policies touch- ing the labor field. Much the same may be said of the secretary of agriculture, He is a pro- fessiona] farmers' friend, but not as such related to the government’s exer- cise of sovereignty—the real domain of cabinet officers. Every president has had great difficulty in filling that department judiciously. Mr. Wilson has done it better than any of his predecessors, But the situation is delicate. Here js the greatest scien- tific establishment on earth, spending money with an unparalleled lavish- ness, yet liable at any time to fall into the hands of somebody of small per- ception of what it is all about, be- sides being necessarily subservient to the behests of politicians. This is no way to do sclentific work. The cabinet of George Washington contained four men. It was a closely knit body of advisers, one in foreign affairs, another in finance, a third in national defense and a fourth in mat- ters of law. We have already extend- ed the cabinet to such proportions as to destroy its value for confidential conference. Presidents no longer have heart to heart talks with their min- isters, but rather with selected groups, gathered less formally and In greater priva Will the doctors please consider if the supervision of public health can- not be attended to in some better way than this? Their request is only one of a long series, The Herald believes in the sane and simple government of the fathers, regarding the burden of taxation which modern ideas have loaded on the cost of living, as one of the very serious menaces to our civilization.
