Think Woman Died First, Today a strong theory has been brought forth "which says that the woman met her death first. The ar- gument is that when the priest sup- posedly went out early in the even- ing the woman was left alone. Callers came and were admitted by her -and ;thoy disposed of her before the priest | returned. According to this theory she w strangled to death in order that she might be silenced forever and ! quietly, so that no neighbor or pos- sibly the returning priest would hear anything. Whether the murder took place downstairs or in the attic is a matter of conjecture, but it is pos- sible that she was strangled with the twine downstairs and ‘taken to the attic where the heavy rope was placed about her neck to make the job more sure. The woman having been disposed of the murderers might have gone down- stairs to await the return of the pries and with no one in the house to in- murdered him bly twisting the cord around h neck first and then shooting him later, as he may not have submitted quietly. Another strong point in the theorv that the woman died first is that had she seen or heard the father shot her impulse, which seems to be sec- had she done this it is likely she would have bden heard. After the murder the house have been ransacked in hopes of find- ing some papers which were valued highly, and then exit was made by the rear door. Murder Was Donc Barly. Many are of the belief that from the indications, the murder was com- | mitted early in the evening. This theory borne out by the fact that both the housekeeper and the priest were fully dressed. It is logical ta sur- | mise that had the murder heen com- ted at night neither would have been dressed. Chief Rawlings, however, still holds to his original theory that the murder was committed late at night. He | says that he has nothing to give aut for publication, clues, all of but he has a lot of which are being care- fully run down, but few of which ap- | pear to be worth anything. One, which was reported from Berlin, is to the effect that last night a strange man, presumably a Pale, visited the town and talked mysteriously about the local murder. His actions caused much suspicion and the police were notified. As yet nothing has come | of it. Neighbors Very Nervous. Neighbors living near the house in { which the priest and his housekeeper were murdered have been made very nervous since the murder, and James Naughton, who lives on Stanley street adjacent to the church, says that his wife has been made a nervous wreck and he will have to leave the neigh- borhood, he fears. Private Detectives on Job. The aoffer of a large reward for = | the apprehension of the criminals has added much stimulus té the case and it was reported that two high sleuths from the Burns detec- tive agency are in town working quietly, Whether this is so or not cannot learned positively. New York Pricst’s Story. Rev. Joseph be Shetokas, of 468 Broome street, N. Y., gives out the interview, showing that he believes Father Zebris was killed by his enemies: “Eight weeks ago Father Zebris came to New Yorlk to visit the parish At that time he denounced the Black Handers and the and urged the Lithuanians to crusade against them and’ to drive them fram the creed. “Father Zebris was troubled,” said Father Shestokas. “I asked him what was the matter. ‘It's the old trou.- ble,’ he said.* ‘These scoundrels are trying to get me.’ He meant the men against whom he had been preach- ing so eloquently. I would not be surprised if the men who committed i the crime were some of the anarchists brood in New York.” LOST—— 'n (he%!n\lt or Main street‘* pocketbook containing small sum of Reward if returned to Herald Office. 2-11-1d SALE-—Horse, chestnut, 1,225 6 years old.

Arch Street, New Britain might | SUBMITS STATEMENT ONFINANCIAL OUTLOOK {mpossibie to Cut Appropriations fo State’s Income, Says Mages. o Hartford, Feb. 11 A statement in detail as to the financial outlook in the | state from a legislative viewpoint and having behind it the force of his knowledge as chairman of the appro- | priations committee, was made to the senate today by Senator Magee of Watertown. He, frankly said that his committee feels that in spite of eve effort made .to economize it will be impossible to bring the appropriations down to a point anywhere near the es- timated income of the state during the next two years. Senator Magee at the outset quoted from the governor's mmsagc- in which had been pointed | dut that the net state debt in 1904 was .$214 584, while in 1914 it was $10,- 961,272 He also said that the esti- r.ated public expense for the next two vears is given as $17,676,265, one item of which is $4,456,000 for improved highways. The senator also liberally quoted figures from the reports of the state treasurer and the tax commis- | to show the way in which the »'s indebtness had leapt upwards. | Then he said: propriations committee is to cut down on expenses wherever possible. About onc half of the appropriations asked for are fixed specifically by statute.” Of the $2,623,436 called for by the ed- ucation department, 66 per cent. is statutory and the committee has no option than to pass favorably on that part. The remainder is not specific but to carry out the intent of the statute it is material reduction. The judicial de- partment calls for $1,431,650 which is practically all statutory. Only Remedy Amendment. The senator then added: matter of increasing salaries, and of passing acts entailing a still larger expense to the state has already been brought to the attention of the com- mittee. ter “The are now pending and T hope the fcre they put the stamp of approval onr them. The leaks which have caused the ever-increasing debt to the state are found largely in the general statutes, and the only remedy is by amendment.” Mr. Magee said the committee in- tends to call attention to bills of this character. He said have not yet been considered. sonally he believed the recommendation ‘was sound, that the state should go slow in new construc- Per- tention to the care of highways al- Teady built. called for biennial expenditure about two millions of dollars, and is estimated that more money will be needed in the next two years. The senator called attention to many al- leged inequalities in the laws pro- viding for the support of these insti- tutions. He said there was one group of institutions supported by the state together with a direct payment by the towns or by pergons interested in those being cared for at such institu- tions. He then referred to another group which includes the industrial schools, which are wholly supported by the state. He then pointed out the inequalities in the law relating’ to schools, and especially to the school grants. of pitals and the support they received from the state. He said he did this simply to show that the state is ap- propriating an immense sum money under peculiar conditions. said that the state’s income is esti- mated at $9,115,000, while if the ap- propriation bills are totalled on their figures the estimate of money asked for would be nearly ,000,000. The estimated expenditurs for the next two years is $18,126,265, and this does. not include any figures for state ar- mories, bridg: inebriate farms, wo- man’s reformatory or new buildings for the institutions for the blind. Amounts Absolutely Necessary. The senator said that the committee wishes it to be understood that it will recommend only such as seem absolutely necessary for the proper care and maintenance of those things for which the &tate is respon- sible. The committee will oppose bills which ecarry or necessitate increas state. This will be chairman or members of (he mittee, not as a personal matter to carry out the sentiments of committee as expressed by a° | taken at an executive session. to the by >d cost done the AGAINST GERMAN TRADE.
