HELD FOR LARCENY. New Haven Police Discover Negro Is Clothed As Woman. New Haven, July 16.—The police of this city today admitted that- oc- casionally they get a surprise. Chief Smith also thinks that the surprise comes with the revealing of actuai facts and in this he further believes that his force has the advantage over police in other cities. For instance, in a case in. the, city court today he pointed to the fact that the Briage- port police did not discover what his men did. .Last night a patrolman saw two colored women acting sus- piciously in the college section. He followed them, and when they ran he also ran, arrested the couple ana took them to the station. There it was found that one, was Orme Wilson, of Brooklyn, a male, in_ woman’s clothes, and the other, Rose Davis, of Boston, was a real womgq, Wilson acted the jart well, and when taken into court in his. attire he was regarded as a woman hy. the. court officials. He had a gentle voice which went well with the make- up. Wilson, with glee, said he was convicted in Bridgeport and served in the jail there for eight months as a woman and did the cooking. Wilson and the Davis woman are held on suspicion of larceny from the person. Numerous complaints have = been made by ¢itizens that they had been stopped by two colored women who engaged them in small talk, ending by one of them playing the part or highwayman.

Victory for Wilson. London, July 16.—The resignation of General Huerta of the provisional presidency of Mexico is regarded as \a, victory for President Wilson’s pol- ligy and is welcomed by the British public and by official circles here as 'a possible solution of the Mexican problem. A peaceful end to the com- plex situation is greatly desired here on account of the large British finan- clal interests in the country. Most of the London mnewspapers, however, express doubt as to whether conditions will be better under Venus- tlano Carranza than when General Huerta was in power in Mexico City. Benton Murder Recalled. ‘Thé "Pall Mall Gazette points out that “if Francisco Carbajal, the new provisional ‘president, surrenders to General Carranza, as he is expected to do, it may soon be possible to exact reparation from Gen. Villa for the | murder at Juarez of Wm. S, Benton, the- Scettish ‘rancher.” The Evening Standard says: “The ‘Washington administration has won a ‘diplomatic victory. President Wilson ‘has been persistent and pa- tient’ ‘in’ ‘his policy of non-recogni- tion of General Huerta but it is likely enough he will be met now by other obstacles just as hard to sur- mount as was General Huerta's oh- stinacy.” Warned By Experience. The Globe takes much the view, saying: ‘“The General Huerta is a trilumph for President Wilson * * * * but it may be assumed that his difficulties and anxieties are by no means over. There is no reason to suppose that the real opinfons of the Mexican peo- ple will have more opportunity to as- sert themselves under - General Car- ranza than they had under General Huerta. “The United States, however, hsa been warned by experience not to in- quire too closely nor to expect too much.” same elimination of Junta Being Formed. San Antonio, July 16.—Reports that a junta was being formed in El Paso in the interests of Felix Diaz were being discussed unofficially by army officers here today. The plan, it was said, was to start a counter-revolu- tion against Carranza and Villa, ana secure ald of Huerta irregulars.

A party veiled in the darkness was seen moving to the center of the bridge from the Mexican side.

Monterey, Mex., July 15, Via, La- redo, Texas, July 16.—When informed of Huerta's resignation tonight Gen- eral Carranza, the constitutionalist leader, made no _comment for publi- catlon, but a high Carranza official ssid he believed there would be no change in his attitude but that the constitutionalist army would proceed to. capture Mexico City. He qualified this statement by saying this plan might be changed in the event of un- conditional surrender of the Mexican forces under the new provisional president.

New Haven, July 16.—Development of the state’s case against Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefield, charged with murder, went forward rapidly today, and the jury were told of the movements of Mrs. Wakefield, and of James Plew on June 23, 1913, on which deay Wakefield was Kkilled the woods of Cheshire. The jury box was filled yesterduy at a late hour and the state began its presentation of the evidence against the woman. The burden of that testimony had to do with estab- lishing the fact that Wakefield’s bod. | was found In the woods of Cheshire. The first witnesses today told in a general way of the neighborly rela- tions existing between the Plew and the Wakefield families in Middlebury during the summer of 1912. Left Her Husband. Mrs. Dwight L. Wheeler and her husband of Middlebury were the first witnesses. They said that Plew had worked' for the Wheelers for three years and Wakefleld for about the | same length of time. Mrs. Wake- fleld left her husband and went tc Waterbury. In Aprll 1912, Mr.| Wheeler said, he went to see Mrs. ‘Wakefield and asked her to return| and again live with her husband. | Witness was then paying Wakefield $25 a month and gave him produce from the farm. The reason Mrs Wakefield gave for refusing to again live with her husband was that h: was “too dirty” Wakefield ard| Plew both worked. for the witness on his farm. Witness said that Mrs. Wakefield cared for Mrs. Plew as & nurse during the latter's maternity illness. The witness said in an- swer to questions that it was a fact that Wakefield was not the neatest man in the world in amplification of the defendant’s characterization of her husband as ‘“too dirty.” Paul Stelnman, a farmer of Mid- dlebury, testifici that he had Plew, his wife and Mrs. Wakefield and two children as tenants on his farm in July, 1912, State’s Attorney Alling read from testimony of the witness given at the first trial with reference to the want of affection Mrs. Wake- fleld had for her husband. Against the objection of Mr. Devine, of coun- | sel for Mrs. Wakefield, who urged that the testimony served to distract the attention of the jury, Judge Reed de nied the motion to strike this testi- mony from the record. ‘Medical Examiner Testifies. Charles M. Denison, medical exam- iner at Cheshire, told of the circum- stances surrounding the finding of Wakefield’s body. Under the head was a hat. Two shoestrings formed a noose about the man’s neck. A re- volver and a knife were beside the | body, on which there was no under- | clothing. Mr, Alling made an offer of all these exhibits which he said were in a sealed box in his office but because of the odor therefrom he asked counsel for the accused to re- lieve him of producing them. Judge Reed asked Mr. Devine if he in- sisted on the actual production of the exhibits and the lawyer said he woula waive the right to have them brought in. The witness said the autopsy was performed at an undertaker's 1n Cheshire, by Pr. Scarborough, medi- cal examiner of New Haven. There was a tear or knife cut on the coat and shirt. There was a wound in the left breast of from one-half to three- fourths of an inch. ‘Wanted to Sell Stove. Harry White, of Bristol, told of a visit Mrs. Wakefield made to him at | his store in Bristol in which she asked him to take back a stove she had bought of him because she had left her husband, the Sunday night previous. She said she would not live with her husband again. The witness saw Mrs. Wakefield the night of her arrest charged with murder, and she acted calmly. White said that she made the proposition to sell the stove seriously, giving as a reason that her rent was due the next day. John A. Dady, a conductor on th= Cheshire Trolley Line testified that Mrs, Wakefield was on his car June 23, 1913. She got on at Milldale with three children. There was a man on the same car who left to go into the bushes. He got on the car again the following trip and Jjoined Mrs. Wakefleld and the children at Dicker- man’s corners in Southington. The state’s attorney did not press any questions as to the identity of the man. in Plew First Passenger, John R. Reinhart, a motorman on the same line, testified to picking up James Plew on June 23, 1913, at Lazy Lane at 5:17 A. M., the first passen- ger in the morning. This was the date of the murder. Witness said the man looked as if he had been up all night. Georfie Reinhart of Cheshirs re- | team representing clerks at Waln: lieved his brother, the former wit- ness, as motorman at Lazy Lane. He had one passenger who was Plew. Recess was taken at this point. TODGE TAKES ACTION: Sir Francis Drake lodge, S. of 8t. G. met last night and took action on the death of Johathan Draper. D. E.
