MORRISON DIES; ILL BUT FEW DAYS Aged Berlin Resident’s Death Comes as Complete Surprise to Her Many Friends. Mrs. Frederick Morrison, a life-long resident of East Berlin, died suddenly this afternoon at her home on Worth- fngton ridge. - Her death came as a complete surprise to her many friends, many of whom did not even know that she was ill. 'Mrs, Morrison was taken sick last Friday, but no medical atten- tion was given her until yesterday when Dr. Hodgson of ¥ast Berlin was called. He at once diagnosed her case as a slight attack of pneumonia. He expected her recovery . mnd her sudden passing away was as much of a surprise to him as to the neighbors. Mrs. Morrison was about eighty-two vears of age and had lived with Mrs. James Stillman st the old Riley home- stead since the death of her ' sister. She was well liked in the community and was a member of the Berlin Congregational church. = Mrs. Morri- son' was an active member , of the Woman's Aid and Foreign Missionary rocleties of the church. She leaves two sons, Frederick Mor- ricon of Hartford and William Mor- 2ison of Auburn, N. Y. The funeral arrangements have not been com- pleted. \ a DR. RADCLIFFE CANDIDATE FOR DR. CROWLEY'S JoB Has' Filed 'Application for " Appointment As Milk Inspector. One of the biggest political sur- prises of the year is the announce- ment that Dr. B. D. Radcliffe, the veterinarian of 108 Franklin Square, is a candidate for the office of meat, food and milk inspector, now filled by Dr. George T, Crowley, whose office is at the rear of 56 Pearl street. Dr. Radcliff has filed an application for the position with the board of health. The contest for the office promises to be a warm affair and it is probable that it will be decided at the meet- ing of the board next Tuesday night. Dr. Crowley has been inspector since October, 1904, and .he said to- day that he -would consider it a “raw ‘deal’” if he is deposed. ‘I have worked like a slave for the city and I know of no reason why I should be kicked out,” he said. “I have ncslected“ my business and have given my. b fforts: to :New Britain. - 1t is notras it the dffice came up each year. Under ‘thie new character q:umnémem Toam nted and NHdtd office until imy, succe!sor is appointed and qualffies. In order to put any- one in my place it will be necessary to put me out. . There is no vacancy existing in the office and I 'think it would be pretty rough treatment if I am deposed.. I was greatly surprised when I learned last night that there ‘was another candidate for the office.” New Britain pays its inspector $1,000 per year. When Dr. Crowley first took office theé salary was $200. It went from that to $300, then to $500 and up to $800. Two years ago it was increased to "$1,000. Dr. Radcliffe graduated from the Chicago Veterinary college in 1908 and has been practicing in this city since 1909. WARDEN DON’T WANT TO EXECUTE KRAKAS Because of Religious Scruples, So Someone Else Will Have to Spring Decath Trap. (Special to the Herald.) Wilmington, Del. May 5.—There is some doubt here as to who will be the man selected to spring the death trap on May 14 when Peter Krakas is hanged for the murder of Policeman E. X. Tlerney. Warden Crawford, of the Neéwcastle county workhouse who #enerally does this, is seriously 11l and ‘will be unable to attend /the execu- tion. Depuly Warden Wingate, who takes W oxressed himsslf as utterly opposed { to committing the act that will send the murderer to his death. ‘Warden Wingate has moral and re_ ligious scruples about springing the trap and even though he realizes thut it is according to the recognized law of the universe and in the discharge of his duty, he declares that he does not want any man's blood on his head. Because of this situation it is prob- able that the trustees of the prison will select some man whose identity will not be gven out to sprng the trap which wiil jerk Krakas to eter- nity in expjation of his terrible crime. As it is possible to spring the trap without béing seen it may be that the man’s identity will never be known. Although he has but eight more | days to live on this terrestial sphere, Krakas still’ maintains his stolid in- difference. He asks no favors of anyone and offers no excuses. He gels his daily exercises walking through the (corridors of the prison under heavy guard and It is said that The « spends considerable of his time 1n reading the Bible. He will be hanged in the. prison ard and under the laws of this state the execution will have to be wit- nessad by twelve official witnesses, | Chinese rden Crawford’s place has.
