COOK BURNS FOOD, IS THEN TROUNCED J. S. Troupe, Restaurant Man, Al- leged to Have Made Vicious Attack on Employe. What.is said to have been a brutal attack upon Edward Bidwell, one of his employes, is alleged to have been perpetrated by John S. Troupe, a Church street restaurant man, early Wednesday morning. So badly was Bidwell beaten, it is said, that he' has mnot yet fully recovered from the attack and is still under a doctor’s care. According to the story that is being circulated about the city, and not without some foundation, Bidwell was cooking some oat meal for breakfast and burned it. His employer discov- ered the fact and became angry. Af- ter .wrestling with Bidwell, during torn off, so grabbed up a mop or some other similar implement, and slammed Bid- well over the back of the neck with it. Bidwell, dazed and tottering, wan- dered about the street until he came to the Hotel Bronson. Here it was seen that he was in a bad condition and when he fell to the floor Dr. D. W. O’Connell was summoned. The physician applied tests for paralysis but found none. He was sent to his room. Today Dr. O’Connell states that his patient is much improved.

The traffic rule which is alleged to have been violated is as follows: “A vehicle turning into a street from « the right shall turn the corner as mnear to the right-hand curb as prac- ticable.” According to the folder in which are printed the traffic rules, ‘“viola- tions of the following regulations or any article, section or part thereof, ™ shall be prosecuted in the police court % £:d and shall be punishable by a fine of :m less than $1 and not exceeding 50.” Another section states “The follow- ing regulations for vehicles and street cars, shall be observed by the drivers thereof who shall also comply at all . times with any direction by voice, " hand or whistle, from any member of the police force as to slowing down, stopping, approaching or departing from any place, the manner of jtak- ing up or setting down passengers and the loading or unloading of any- thing.” Three Have Been Arrested. Despite Chairman Andrews’ - state- ment to the contrary there have been three arrests made for violations of traffic rules. Ossian Bennett, a young man, was arrested and “hauled” into court for allowing his automobile to stand Wwithin fifteen feet of a fire hydrant. He was rep- rimanded and allowed to go. L. W. Corliss, mechanician for Cogswell & Nordstrom, owners of g garage on Chestnut street, was not so fortunate, He appeared in police court on Monday, June 27, and was fined $25 for vielating the traffic law 'regarding speed and not obeying a signal from an officer.

Bridgeport, July 17.—Mrs. Kath- erine Sherwood Morehouse, wife of H. Livingston Morehouse of a local trust company, was introduced as the “eleventh hour mysterious witness for the defense” before Judge John R. Booth, of New Haven, in the city court here today at the continued hearing of charges against Carl F. Siemon, of the Siemon Hard Rubber corporation, alleging responsibility in the death of John DeMartino, of Stamford, on the night of . October 29, 1910. Her evidente, considered important in :o!ne details, did not prove the sensation'that was expect- ed, Attorney Henry BE. Shannon and Judge E. S. Banks summed up for the defense, arguing that there was no evidence to indicate probable cause or that the Siemon car was responsible, The summing up of Prosecuting Attorney De Laney attracted more than ordinary attention and was merciless in the arraignment of Sie- mon and those with him for their conduct on the night of the accident. Mr, Siemon, showing indications of the strain. upon him, testifieq in a slow; distinct manner and told the story of the trip and what he knew of the accident. He emphatically claimed that he is even more doubt- period foHowing the accident as to ble. Mr. Siemon said that the oc- currence had preyed upon his mind constantly and although he was in doubt as to having been responsible, he could not get it off his mind but that he might have been. He argued with Prosecutor De Laney about the possibility of his car having struck the man and dragging him without his knowing it and he was emphatic in his belfef that it could have been done. Judge Booth reserved his decision until July 28 and asked that steno- graphic notes of the testimony be fur- nished to him. JONATHAN DRAPER IS LAID AT REST Impressive Funeral Services Held This Afterncon—Quartet Renders Sacred Hymns. Funeral services of an impressive nature were held at 2 o'clock this afternoon for Jonathan Draper at his late home on Fairview street. A large number of relatives and friends ot the family attended the services, which were conducted by the Rev. Dr, J. E. Adams, pastor of the Methodist church of which Mr. Draper had been an active member for the past thirty- three years. A particularly beautiful feature of the services was the quartet selections rendered by Miss Fannie Holmes, Miss Marion Hoar, E. F. Neumann and H. C. Doolittle, a quartet representing the Methodist church Sunday school. Mr. Draper had for many years been the chorister of this Sunday school. The pall bearers were friends and fraternal brothers of the deceased. T'hey were: Thomas Kehoe and Wil- | lium Dancey, representing Court Pros- perity, Foresters of America, George ‘Whatnall and William Woods, repre- senting Sir Francis Drake lodge, Sons ieorge, and Willlam Nicholls and Willam Hartman.

I!I)ENTIHES FRAME OF EYEGLASSES ‘Witness Claims Ac- cused of Murder, Referring to Her Husband Said, “I Wish He Was Dead. Pd Get Another Man.” New Have@ July 17.—Resumption j of the trial Qt Mrs. Bessie J. Wake- { fleld ‘charged 'with murder of her husband, William, a year ago, was | delayed a little today by a confer- j ence between Judge Reed and State’s Attorney Alling at the opening of court. In the meantime every seat in the court room was taken by spec- tators and those who have a part in the trial. It was thought that a group of about a dozen persons were witnesses who are to be called. Mr. Bauby of counsel for the defense, ex- pressed an opinion that the trial would probably last all of next week. James L. Joy, a_baggagemaster at ‘Waterbury railroad station identified a trunk which he had taken into his possession on June 28, 1913. It had a paster on the end marked ‘“Wake- field.” The.trunk had been shipped from Bristol. He did not know who placed the paster on the trunk, or who affixed the express company’s tag. Witness held the trunk until July 9, when it was turned over to the state police. Recalled to Stand. / George Gillett of Bristol, who yes- terday told of quarrels in the Wake- field, tenement down stairs, and in which Plew and Wakefield had words, was recalled to amplify his testimony, in that part in which he had said he heard cries of Wakefield, ‘“‘Let me up, Jim.” Gillett said he was fa- | miliar with Wakefield’s voice. Wit~ ness_did not know Plew. He had nev- er seen him. Objection was made to the intro- duction of furthér reference to Plew as a conspirator. Judge Reed told the jury that these statements of Plew were not to be used at this time agamst. Mrs. Wakefleld. The state- ments were to be taken only as evi- dences of Plew’s pnfielm.tlun in the crime. “1 Wish He Was Dead.” On the occasion of the quarrel Plew and Wakefield talked about the running of trains to Waterbury, the witness sald, and Plew said he was going to take the 5 o'clock train. Witness never saw Wakefleld alive after that. He saw Mrs. Wakefleld at 7 o'clock that morning. A couple of ‘hours later Mrs. Wakefleld asked for $4 she had entrusted to the witness’ wife for safe keeping. Mrs. Wake- field then said she was going to bed. Mr. Wakefleld was going down a path when Mrs, Wakefleld, referring to him, said: “I wish he was dead. I'd get another man.” Mrs. Wakefield had told the witness that her husband and Plew used to fight together. On the following day, Monday, about 11 o’clock, Mrs. Gillett repeated, it is claimed, this conversa- tion to Wakefield. Judge Reed ruled this evidence to be inadmissible. Mrs. ‘Wakefleld slept for five or six nights thereafter in the apartment of the Gilletts. She asked the witness if he could recognize her husband if he committed suicide and the witness an- swered: ‘“Yes, for three months after.” Unaware of Death, Mrs. Wakefleld said she did, not at that time have any knowledge that her husband was dead. The frame of what was once a pair of spectacles or eyeglasses was iden- tified by the witness as belongihg to Wakefleld. He found them in an ash pan in a stove in the cellar. * Relations Weére Friendly. Mr. Bauby conducted the cross examination. The witness said that his relations with Mrs. Wakefleld were j pleasant and that he had few con- versations with her. The morphine which the witness found in the Kil- duff swamp at Bristol was produced. Glllett said he was mowing when he picked the bottle up, 200 feet from the house. This was July 27, and he turned the bottle over to Chief Bel- den of Bristol. The Wakefields had long before left the place. The bottle was marked “chloroform liniment, poison,” but the label showed that the word “Liniment” had been rubbed off. Story of Quarrel. Mr. Bauby led the witness over the stery of the quarrel of the Wake- fields. Mrs. Gillett had told him that Mrs. Wakefleld had told her that she and her husband had often quarreled but they soon got over it. He heard Mrs. Wakefield trying to quiet the children, who were crying. There was a sound of scuffling and choking. This was on the night of June 22. i Left on Same Train. Frederick A. Noble, baggagemaster at the Bristol station, on June 28, 1913, received a trunk to be deliv- ered at Waterbury, according to his testimony. The trunk was put on a train and Mrs. Wakefield left on the same train. Mrs. Carrie ngvflnk of Bristol saw Mrs. Wakefield in her husband’s That Woman, { (Continued on Fifteenth Page.) !TWO LOCAL BOYS SAVE FIVE LIVES Lowell Pickup and George Kiese- wetter Rescue Party at Morris Cove. Two local young men, Lowell Pickup of Lincoln street and George Kiesewetter of Vine street, who are camping at Morris Cove, New Ha- ven, proved themselves heroes Wed- nesday afternoon when they saved the lives of five people who were cap- sized in a canoe about 100 yards off the Lighthouse shore. The rescued party, consisting of three women and two men, all of whom live in New Haven, were cruis- ing about in a light canoe and when about 100 yards off shore their craft suddenly overturned. Not one of the five could swim a stroke but as | they were precipitated into the water | they managed to grasp the edge of 1!he canoe, which was floating upside down. The two local boys, watching the accident from the beach, dashed for ‘s. rowboat and reached the flounder- ing people just as they were about ex- hausted and ready to give up. After considerable maneuvering the New Britainites succeeded in hauling the entire five into their boat and taking them'to shore in safety. MRS. CARMAN PLACED UNDER $20,000 BAIL Freeport Physician’s Wife | Pleads Not Guilty to Man- - slaughter Charge. Mineola, N. Y. July 17.—Mrs. Florence Carman was arraigned ‘in the supreme court here today before Justice Van Siclen on an indictment returned yesterday charging her with manslaughter in the first degree for having caused the death of Mrs. Louise Baliley, a patient of the defen- dant’s husband. She pleaded not guilty and was glven two weeks in which to change her plea or demur to the indictment. Counsel for Mrs. Carman suggested that she be liberated under $20,000 bail, and to this District Attorney Smith agreed. The prisoner was wan and pale when brought from the Jail to the court room. Her husban Dr. Edwin Carman, stood beside h When the preliminaries of giving bail were adjusted, he said, he would take her out of the village at once. It had been rumored ‘during the fore- noon that a superseding indictment, stronger than the one embracing the manslaughter charge might yet be handed up by the grand jury on the strength of additional evidence fur- nished by Celia Coleman, the negro maid in the Carman home. There had been no developments along this line this afternoon. The bail was furnished by Emmett Randell and Smith Cox, close friends of the Carmans, whereupon Mrs, Car- man was set free. Heavily veiled she stepped into a limousine with her husband and started for her home at Freeport. Friends of Mrs. Carman here and in Freeport expected that an indict- ment charging her with manslaughter in the first degree would be returned. Under such an indictment Mrs, Car- man, through her counsel, was ex- pected to ask for release on bail pending trial next fall. Dr. Carman today said he was pre- pared to furnish bail for his wife in any sum up to $500,000 but it was hardly expected that more than $15,- 000 would be demanded by the dis- trict attorney on a charge of man- slaughter. With the release of Mrs. Carman, it was sald that Elwood T. Bardes and Frank J. Farrell, the tramp, too, may be released on bail. They have been held in jail here as material Wwit- nesses. ‘WINS BARBER PRIZE. A. A. Berkowitz of This City Awarded $100 For Best Esuay on Asphalt.

Hustis as hav- ing been directors since 1909, but, as to whether their failure to cause the road to institute a restitution suit has made them liable on account of neg- ligence and violation of fiduciary duty, the plaintiffs state that they are not advised and make no specific averment. The litigation is in the form of an equity action entered by the attor- neys as trustees under the will of Olea Bull Vaughan. They own fifty shares of New Haven stock and bring the action “In behalf of themselves and all other stockholders of said corporation who may become | parties.” H Losses Approximate $102,000,000. The bHI' of complaint declares that the defendants, on account of breach of directors’ duty, chiefly through causing the New Haven to acquire illegally its Boston and Maine, trolley and steamship properties, are bound to pay to the New Haven $162,000,- 000 “withdrawn. therefrom wrong- fully and for ultra vires and illegal purposes.” It is alleged that the losses resulting from these acquisi- tions approximate $102,000,000 and that under the federal anti-trust act the New Haven is entitled to recover from the defndants three fold that sum—or $306,000,000.

SPECIAL OFFICER TRIMS AGGRESSOR Dog Warden Coffey, Night Gate Ten- der at East Main Street Oross- ing, Defends Himself. Acting, it is claimed, in self de- fense, Special Officer and Dog Warden Coffey last night struck Charles Bren- necke over the head with an iron stove poker, Brennecke and some of his friends made a complaint at po- lice headquarters and wanted the spe- cial policeman arrested, claiming that he was assaulted without any provo- cation. That was their story. Officer Cof- fey’s tale differs in several material ways, ‘Mr. Coffey is the night gate tender at the East Main street ralroad crossing and he says that last night Brennecke and five or six of his friends came around the gate house lcoking for someone whom he was go- ing to “lick.” Coffey ordered them away and after they went a few steps he claims that Brennecke suggested going back and trimming Mr. Coffey. Officer Coffey further states thut Brennecke, suiting action to his words, advanced towards him and squared off. Then it was that the gate tender grabbed the poker and used it to advantage. In explaining his action it is said that he should have arrested the man, but as he was gate tender he could not leave his post without becoming criminally liable and as no assistance was near he had to take the law into his own hands. |SUFFRAGETTE SLASHES PORTRAIT OF CARLYLE Wielder of Butcher’s Cleaver Arrested After Severe Struggle. London, July 17.—A militant suf- fragette today slashed with a butch- er's cleaver the portrait of Thomas Carlyle, painted by Sir John Millais and hanging in the National Portrait Gallery. The woman was arrested after a severe struggle with the at- tendants and at the police station gave her name as Anne Hunt, yThe attendants of the gallery who since the occurrence of the recent militant suffragette outrages in na- tional have béen keeping close guard on the. treasures under their , care, noticed a -young woman walking from picture to picture apparently admiring the work of various artists. Coming to the portrait of Carlyle she took a butcher’s cleaver from the the folds of her dress and viciously { attacked the painting. The woman had succeeded :n striking the picture several blows be- fore the nearest attendant could reach her.. The glass covering the painting was smashed and a slit was made in the picture from the top of Carlyle's head right through the face to the chin. The attendants had the greatest difficulty in preventing Miss Hunt from doing further damage. She struggled desparately but eventually was secured and handed over to the police. She was bleeding profusely from cuts on her hands caused by the breaking of the glass. MRS.

Francisco Carbajal's informal state« ment to the Washington government that he intended to retire in favor of Carranza, constitutionalist chief,| and Carranza’s announcement that he was willing to negotiate with the fed« erals for peaceful transfer of p in Mexico City, was regarded as prac. tical assurance that the rule of blood~ shed was near an egd fn the souths ern republic.

They took the attitude that persons who tu against Madero should be compelled to face court trials. By that means, they contended, potential possibil-! itles of counter uprisings would be eliminated. Orux of Situation. The crux of the situation app to hang on the extent of the quarter that Carranza might be willing grant his fallen foes, That all stumbling blocks would swept aside, however, for the pesce~ ful entry of Carranza into the ican capital was the belief gen expressed. Fears expressed over the atti that Villa might take toward the tuation, partially discounted by his statement that ) was ‘“no need for apprehension garding my stay in the north.’ said he expected to move his from Chihuahua state toward ico City within the next few days.
