Paris, July 22.—Politics were the predominating factor toduy in connec- “% tlon with the trial of Mme. Caillaux for the murder of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro. The French government was under- stood to be greatly concerned in re- ! gard to the diplomatic documents mentioned at yesterday's hearing as having been in the possession of the assassinated editor and later handed over to President Poincare, who ‘ passed them on to the foreign of- fice. Interchange of Telegrams. Sendtor Bienvenu Martin, acting minister of foreign affairs, was up most of the night, and an active in- terchange ot telegrams took place be- tween him and Premier Rene Viviani, & now in Russia with the president. Joseph Caillaux, the prisoner’s hus- band, and Ferdinand Labori, her counsel, made a vehement demand that the documents should be pro- duced in court. It is understood that the premier, anticipating such a de- mand, left instructions with his sub- stitute at the foreign office as to what course should be pursued with the papers, which are in the foreign of- fice archives. Holds Long Conference. . Mme. Caillaux today had a long conference with Senator Martin, Fer- dinand Labori, her counsel, and Jules Herbaux, the procurator-general, who is in charge of the prosecution. The conference took place in the prison of the Conciergerie, adjoining the Palace of Justice, just before the opening of the third day of the trial. Senator Martin arrived at the prison just after the departure of Joseph Caillaux, the , brisoner’'s. husband, who had been in conversation with hig wife in her cell for the greater part of the morning. Mme. Caillaux aftér breakfasting’ glanced over the newspaper accounts of yesterday's hearing, with which she appeared to be satisfled, as many of them were written in a sym- Ppathetic strain, Denounces Murdered Editor. ‘While the court was assembling newsboys were shouting around the entrances to the Palace of Justice an extra edition of Le Bonnet Rouge, one of the journals in sympathy with M. Caillaux, which contained a ‘Dage arti- cle denouncing the murdered editor, Gaston Calmette. It affirmed that he .had been in the pay of German in- terests and had in the eleven years preceding his death been engaged in political and financial intrigues by means of which he was able to leave $2,600,000. The newspaper admitted that he had received two legacies, one of $200,000 and another of smaller amount, Only Pretended Coples. The moment after the court had come to order the procurator-genera) Tose and said: “I am authorized by the government to declare that the documents referred to in yesterday's testimony are only pretended coples of documents which do not exist.” Maitre Labori: ‘““We considered the incident closed. Attacks M. Calllaux. Charles Chenu, the lawyer repre- senting the interests of the Figaro, and those of Calmette's heirs, said sarcastically: “I regard the incident as only an enjoyable diversion. Tt has pleased M. Caillaux to transform & criminal trial into a political one. He intends to go from here with a certificate of loyalty to France. Much g0o0d it will do him.” The procurator-general exclaimed = that the humor and patriotism of M. Caillaux remained unstained. Object to Language. Maitre Labori objected to the lan- guage used by Maitre Chenu. Georges Prestat, a brother-in-law of the murdered editor and chair- man of the Figaro company, was then called to the stand and emphatically denied that the Figaro nad been in the pay of foreign banks. The Germans, he said, had never held the majority of the shares of the Figaro, as had been alleged. He read lengthy extracls from memor- anda. L Stand Close to Bar. While M. Prestat was testifying M. Caillaux left his seat among the witnesses and stood closer to the bar in order to hear better. Maitre Chenu, commenting on M, Prestat’s testimony said: “I will ada that it does not become M. Caillaux to come here and endeavor to soil the grave which his wife made.” Exciting. Scenc.

POLICEMEN ACCUSED OF BEING BURGLARS $5,000 Worth of Plunder Found in Chicken Coops of Two Officers. Rockville Center, N, Y., July 22.— One-half of Rockville Center's police force of six men are accused of bur- glary by warrants issued here today. Two of the three men—Patrolmen Amos Veritzan and Henry Wickes— were arrested while on post; the third, Rulor Peterson, on his vaca- | tion, is believed to be in Holyoke, The Holyoke police have been requested by wire to apprehend him, Three trunks containing articles of | various description valued at ap- were found at dawn in the chicken coops of Verit- zan and Wickes. Many unsolved robberies have been reported in the village since last fall when summer residents closed their houses for the season. ARMY WORMS IN NEW LONDON, New London, July 22—An in- vasion of army worms was noted here today, Robinson’s lot off Montauk avenue, where circuses ‘give their shows being covered with them. Yards of residences in numerous streets were alive with them. City Forester H. C. Fuller began a sys- tematic campaign against the pests this morning. LAWYER ASSERTS CLIENT IS VICTIM OF FRAME-UP But Judge Mesklll Fine A. Spaccaluti $50 on Bob Veal Charge. Regardless of the claim that he was the victim of a clever ‘“‘frame up"” and a mean plot hatched up by some jeal- ous competitors who wished to run| him out of business, A. Spaccalutl, who for the past three weeks has been conducting a meat, business at No. 280 North street, was fined $50 and costs by Judge James T. Meskill this morning ,for having bob veal in his posséssion. Bohds of $150 were fixéd In case of an appedl, Meat and . Food Inspector. Dr. George Crowley told of visiting Spac- caluti's store at a late hour Friday night after having received informa- tion which led him to believe that he had bob veal in his possession, The store was closed when he arrived, so he visited it bright and early the next morning, He found two livers in a dirty back room, he sald, and added that in the ice box were two under- sized dressed calves, each cut across the carcass. One weighed forty and one-half pounds and the other tipped the scales at forty-two and one-half pounds. Dr. Crowley said that Spac- caluti had told him that he “got the two calves the night before.” Concerning this statement Attor- ney P. F. McDonough, who appeared for the accused, had a heated argu- ment with the witness. Attorney Mc- Donough contended that in his pre- vious testimony Dr. Crowley had said that the accused had told him the two veals were “brought” in the night before. Thii the doctor would not admit and a heated wrangle followed. Spaccalut] declared that he had told the officer that the two veals were “brought” in ana Dr. Crowley de- clared that this statement was ‘‘ab- solutely false,” explaining that the accused had said he had “got” them the night before. In his own defense Spaccaluti said that shortly before 10 o'clock Friday night a man, whom he found out latér was Benny Stein of Hartford avenue, came into his store with two small calves which he wantead to sell. He said he told the man they looked un- dersized, but was assured that they were all right. When he sald he didn’t want them Stein told him again that they were all right and if he would leave them in his ice box over night he would come around the fol- lowing morning and welgh them. Agreeing to this Spaccaluti permitted Stein to cut them in halves so that they would fit into the ice pox. The next morning Dr. Crowley appeared instead of Mr, Stein and the latter has not been seen since, stated the accused, In pleading for his client Attorney McDonough made much of the fact that Dr. Crowley visited the store only a short time after Stein had left the undersized calves _%-IMI had been | on hand bright and “early“the next morning, and he then shotifed that in his opinion Mr. Spaccaluti. Was the victim of a clever frame up. 'His ¢ tention was that Stein, or some one closely connected with him, objected to having Spaccealuti open up a new meat business and “jollied” him into permitting them to leave the bobs in his ice box over night, noti- fled the autborities so that he would be arrested, convicted and put out of s0 business, i rence Robinson, 'Rapids, Mich. : ‘spngraluu pald up after journed, court adi- USES STEEL SHANK 10 END HIS LIFE Boston Police Inspector’s Slayer Commits Suicide in Jail ROBINCO.'S BODY FOUND IN GELL Victim Bled to Death Quickly With- out Having Made An Outcry, from Wounds in Neck and Wrist—Con- sidered a Most Desperate Criminal. Boston, day July 22.—Suicide ended to- | the adventurous career of Law- ! who while posing as a gentleman, was alleged to have committed four murders and an un- known number of jewelry robberies. The body was found. in the cell at the Charles street jail where he had been confined since June 19, when he shot and Kkilled Police Inspector Thomas J. Norton while resisting ar- rest on a charge of murder and rob- bery preferred by the police of Grand Used Steel Shank. The instrument of death was steel shank four inches long and an inch wide which he had removed from a shoe and the edge of which had been sharpened on the iron bars of his cell window. The medical examiner found two wounds, one an | inch and a half in length on the left of his neck that opened the jugular vein and another of similar size | where he had cut an artery on his left wrist. He bled to death quickly without having made an outcry. A guard who visited his cell at 6 o'clock this morning found Robinson appar- ently in his usual health . and saw nothing to arouse suspicion, On his next round, a half hour later, the same guard found Robinson dead, stretched out.on his bed. Letters found in Robinson's eftects and dated July 18 indicate that he contemplated’ suicide before his trial had begun. In a pathetic and repen- tant note to his mother and wife, he said: “To My Dear Mother and Wife Dora Alice: “The loving sweetheart of my boy- hood days, the only woman I have ever loved and who stuck to me through all the shame into which I plunged her, I bid a last fond good bye, and if there is a God Almighty and another world 1 pray that I may meet you there. a to My “LAWRENCE.” To, Sheriff John Quinn, his keeper and to his counsel, John H, and Hugh C. Blanchard, he wrote: “You're against a hard game when you've got to die to beat it. It seems to be the easiest solution for the whole difficulty. I wouldn’t wait to g0 to the chair for the satistaction it would give certain people and life or a long term in prison for manslaugh- ter are worse than death and T know what I'm talking about. I hate this on account of the sheriff who though very strict is a man, and my attorneys, John H. Blanchard and Hugh Blanchard, who have gone to an immense amount of trouble and expense to prepare my defense.” The.grim manner in which the man ended his trial, for the murder of Norton, which opened Monday, was characteristic of him as he was known to the local police. Since his ar- rest he had maintained a seeming stoical indifference to the legal pro- ceedings, and at no time sought to justify or explain the acts charged against him. He appeared in court faultlessly groomed and seemed to regard the trial as something apart from himself. * Most Desperate Criminal. The police had looked upon Rob- inson as one of the most desperate criminals with whom they have had to do in many years. Thirty-two years of age, he was a man of un- usual mental attainments and the po- lice so feared his resources that they had planned to hold him at night in the court building to avoid the daily trips to and from the jail during the trial. Rumors were current * that confederates from the west would at- tempt his ‘release by force and these rumors were taken so seriously that the prisoner was constantly surround- ed in the court room by five heavily armeqd officers. The jury was drawn Monday and yesterday the jurors visit- ed the Boylston Cafe, where Norton was killed. Monday night the pris- oner spent in the court house, but the apprehension of «the police being allayed after the first day, he was returned to his cell last night. When court convened today, Med- | fcal Examiner McGrath informed | Judge Keating that the defendant was | dead. from self-inflicted wounds and the jury was immediately discharged. Companion Awaiting Trial. Robinson appeared in Boston early in May, and for a time successfully played the role of a wealthy man of leisure, with refined tastes. He stopped at a quiet hotel and soon af- ter his arrival began taking lessons of an instructor in the modern dances. This gave him an acquaint- ance in a set of young people where he became popular. His only inti- mate companion, however, was .Jos- eph Duddy, 22 vears of age, who was (Continued on Tenth Page.) WAKEFIELD MURDER TRIAL NOTES READ Woman's Counsel Objects, But 1Is Overruled By Presiding Judge. New Haven, July —The trial of Mrs. Bessie J. Waketield for the mur- der of her husband, William O. Wake- feld, in June of last year, moved slowly in the superior today. Most of the morning session was taken up with the reading from tran- scripts of the notes of the first trial of Mrs. Wakefield, testimony of one or two to the relations between the Wakefleld fam- ily and that of James Plew, who has already been executed ror the mur- der, furnished the only interesting Counge] for Mrs. Wakefleld interposed frequent objections to the reading of the previous trial records, but the objections were overruled in each instance by Judge Joel H. Reed. Counsel for the accused woman would not say today whether she would go on the stand. As usual she followed the testimony attentively, and appeared more at ease than on previous days. John M. Holmes, official reporter at the previous trial of Mrs. Wake- fleld, resumed his reading of the tran- script of his notes of that trial when court opened today, at the point where he left off at adjournment yes- terday. He was reading from his notes of Mrs. Wakefield's testimony. In this way the story was retold of the quar- rel between Plew and Wakefleld in the latter's home, where from the kitchen Mrs. Wakefleld heard the fight in the bedroom and the ex- clamation of her husband, “Jim let me up.” Mrs. Wakefleld went to the bedroom, according to the testimony, and took a revolver from Plew's hand and removed a cloth from her hus- band’s face, There was a strong odor of chloroform on the cloth. She hid court The witnesses as features. | the revolver near a shed door, getting it again the next day. She returned to the house and found the two men sitting on the edge of the bed. Her husband appeared angry, Attorney Devine of counsel for the accused renewed his objection to the continued reading of these short- hand notes, He was overruled. Mr. Holmes was permitted to read certain portions or excerpts from his notes as designated by State’s Attorney Alling. Mr. Devine again made objection and was again overruled. The story of the fight between Wakefield and Plew was again read, including the remark by Mrs. Wakefield, “He was choking my man.” When the men felt the shouse they appeared to be less angry. The men left together about 10:30 and Mrs. Wakefleld went to bed. ‘Wakefleld did not return that night.

Frank Tez Mrs. Mary Tez and Mary Tez, their six years old daugh- ter, and KEva Zadowski, aged nine vears, are all at the New Britain jeneral hospital recovering from a serious attack of poisoning brought on by eating toadstools, supposing that they were mushrooms.

All Because H(‘ Got After New llu- ven Railroad, ‘Washington, July 22.—Congratu- lations to President Wilson and At- torney General McReynolds were ex- pressed In senate today by Sen. Reed of Missouri for their determination to proceed criminally and ecivilly against the New Haven directors. “l am glad that the government at last is prepared to show its teeth, and T hope and confidently believe that the policy so happily inaugur- ated will result in the end in no guilty man escaping,” said the sen- ator. STREET RAILWAY STRIKE. St, John, N. B, July 22.—The street railway system was crippled to- day by a strike of motormen and con- ductors.

R “or ‘alr, and Thurs- [ fleant fact PRESIDENT ORDERS NEW HAVEN SUIT Action Against Read Will Be In- Stituted in New York Immediately. GREGORY IN CHARGE OF CASE Wilson Says That the Directors’ De- | cision Not to Keep Their Agreement to Dissolve l.’e‘oehll.ly Causes Him “the Deepest Surprise and Regret.” Washington, July tions for the actual filing of the gov- ernment’s long delayed suit to dis- solve the New Haven rallroad system, in accordance with President Wilson's instructions, were being made today by the department of justice. In a letter to Attorney General McRey- nolds the president not only directed that civil action be instituted against the New Haven, but ordered that the criminal asiects of the case be laid before a federal grand jury. Decision to proceed against the New Haven ended the long continued efforts to solve the case without liti- gation, The president and his cab- inet had discussed the case and the course of the department of justice was approved. To File Suit Immecdiately. The civil suit was to be filed against the New Haven in the United States court at New York immediately. The attorney general also Iimmediately was to direct the United States dis- trict attorney at New York to sum- mon a grand jury and work of laying evidence before it on which to ask for criminal indictments against of- ficers and directors of the New Haven under the management of former President Charles S. Mellen was to be begun at the earliest moment. T. W. Gregory, special assistant in charge of the case was to have full charge of the civil suit and before the grand jury was to have the aid of F. M. Swecker. an interstate com- merce commission expert who assist- ed him in preparing the evidence. How many indictments were to be sought had not been divulged early today, but correspondence made public plainly indicated that Mr. MecReynolds expected to ask for a bill against Mr. Mellen. The most sigmi- in connection with the proceedings was sald to be a state- ment made public by Mr. McReynolds months ago, when the interstate com- merce commission began its New Ha- ven investigation in which he warned the commission to consider whether immunity might be given to certain men if made to testify as to their ac- tions as directors of the road. The names he mentioned were: Charles S, Mellen, Willlam Rockefeller, George Miller, Charles F, Brooker, Edward Milner, Lewis Cass Ledyard, George F. Baker and Edward D. Rob- | bins. President Wilson Surprised. In his letter to Mr. McReynolds di- | recting suit, the president declared that the decision of the New Haven directors not to keep their agreement to dissolve peacefully had caused him “the deepest surprise and regret,” and that their failure "“upon so slight a pretext,” was “inexplicable and en- tirely without justification.” The de- partment’s course, he asserted, was Just, reasonable and efliclent and should have resulted in avolding suit. A feature of the correspondence made publie by the department which accompanied President Wilson's letter was Attorney General McReynolds' | letter to the president which con- tained a rebuke for the interstate commerce commission in subpoenaing Mellen, “‘and perhaps others flagrant- 1y culpable,” with the possible result of embarrassing the department by claims of immunity in return for their testimony. In this connection Mr. McReynolds stated that crimnal pros- ecution had already been in mind and that there had ever been “the slightest hope that parties gullty of criminal violations of the law would escape.” Fight Is Possible. It is known that the department has what is believed to be evidence that Mr. Mellen gave testimony to the commission contradicting evidence in the possession of the attorney general and it is possible that if any claim of immunity is raised it would be fought on this issue. Mr. McReynolds’ letter to Hustis plainly showed that the partment took the position that the New Haven directors had not lived up to their agreement of last March for a peaceful dissolution and their refusal to sell their Boston . and Maine stock under conditions imposed by Massachusotts and placed the blame for what might follow upon the heads of these directors.

Spaccaluti in court this morning of trying to sell him bob veal and then DUGALD McMILLAN OBSERVES BIRTHDAY His Home on Forrest Street. Dugald McMillan, one of New Brit- ain’s most prominent business men, celebrated his fifty-second birthday last night by entertaining at bridge at his home, 49 Forrest street. Five tables of whist were played and sup- per was served after the game. Mr. McMillan was born fifty-three years ago in Glen Barr, Argyl, Scot- land. He came to this country thirty years ago and entered the dry goods house of Forhes and Wallace in New Haven. He came to this city and on February 27, 1892 started in business | for himself in a store on the corner of Main and Commercial streets, After some years of success in that location he bought out the dry goods store of H. Dayton Humphrey in the Whittlesey block, and later bought the block. This has been enlarged from time to time and now furnishes the place for one of New Britain's largest dry goods stores. Mr. McMillan was married in April 1892 to Miss Elizabeth Hill of Spring- fleld. The couple have three chil- dren, Miss Helén, Miss Ruth and Don- ald McMillan. When the progressive party was formed Mr McMillan was one, of its organizers in this city. He is a mem- ber of the state central committee of that party and was its candidate for senator at the last election. He has | served in the common council, LOCAL MEN-IN BAD AUTO ACCIDENT IN PORTLAND Their Hired Car Catches Fire and Plunges Down Em- bankment. Because someone in the rear seat saw flames licking up from beneath and shouted “fire,” a Buick touring car belonging to Claude J. Leroux, ! the local plumber, was wrecked Mon- day evening when, as it was being driven down Sand Hill in Portland at high' speed by H. Lesser, the Arch street electrical contractor, he applied the foot and emergency brakes so sud- denly that it swerved from the road- way, plunged down an embankment and through the rails of a wooden fence. Lesser and three companions, Mor- ris and Albert Abraham of Rockwell avenue and “Jake” Jeffries, were re- | turning from Colchester at the time of the accident and were on their way home to this city. They had | experienced bad roads on’ the way and { had worn the lower gear band so thin that it refused to bind, so to rem- | edy the difficulty, Lesser placed a rag between the band and the gear drum. Things went smoothly until the party reached the grade leading to the summit of Sand Hill, when the friction became so great as to =met the rag on fire. While speeding down the steep grade which follows, the flames, fanned by the breeze, spread rapidly and when seen by one of the men in the rear, he became so frightened that he lost all presence of mind and shouted with the result that Lesser attempted to bring his car to too abrupt a stop, the back | Wheels swerving sharply. “Jake" Jeffries leaped clear of the machine and Albert Abraham fol- lowed suit, but Lesser was thrown down the bank in such a manner as to sprain his right ankle, wrench his right hip and badly lacerate his/ right arm. In attempting to leap from the car, Morris Abraham struck his left hip and Injured it quite se- verely, Despite his injuries, Lesser ran up the hill and telephoned for the Mid- dletown fire department as the car which he had been driving was be- ing consumed by the flames. Chief Pitt responded in a car from Caul- kin's garage in Middletown, but ar- rived on the scene too late to do any- thing for the occupants of the car had extinguished the blaze. Lesser was attended by Dr. Louis Stmonson of Middletown and was obliged to spend the night in the Middletown hotel, returning‘to this city yesterday. The other members of the party came to this city by train, where Morris Abraham’'s injuries were dressed by Dr. Volkenheim. One of the wheels of Leroux's car, which had been rented on Sunday was ditched and it was otherwise slightly damaged. Lesser has already recelved one bill, amounting to four dollars, from Chief Pitt of the Middletown fire depart- ment, which, he claims, was charged him for the use of the automoblle in which he traveled to the scene of the accident.

Openly, of coul the two sides declare that they not withdraw from their present sitions, but it is understood that Pn mier Asquith is likely to submit | the conference a proposal to allow Protestant counties of Ulster to together on the question of exel from the home rule pariiament, that he may also go s0 far as change the time limit of six { embodied in the amending bill already has been dealt wlm ly house of Jords... ‘Bir Bdward c-nun. lho U " unionist leader, will make a fight have the county of Tyrone i in this agreement and the hto this proposition will, it is th decide the outcome of the e ence.
