Telling a heart (hrobbing story of the love she bears for her husband and their domestic trials ‘which cul- minated a few night ago when she decided to | commit suicide, then changed. her mind, Mrs, Harold Pratt Sawtelle has made public' the events in‘hér-life ‘which almést brought her earthly career to a tragic end. ‘I Love M\V'Hnsbnnd." Beginning, Mrs. Sawtelle, twenty-five years.old and, pretty, says: “1 love my husband dearly; 1 am sorry for my part in our 'tiff, and ‘have’gone half-way to effect a recon- ciliation, but he says that I have dis- graced him, and will' have . nothing further to.do \\H.h me. What more can I do,? “The trouble had its origin on the evening of May 3, Harold had bheen out of work for a long time, but on that day he went out and secured em- | ployment. - He was utterly exhausted vhen he came home and, being young and somewhat unsophisticated, 1 did not think to try to comfort. him. [ asked kim what the nature. of his work wa: to be ,and he: refused to tell me. i Orders Him From House, “l was firm, and told him ‘that, a wife wasn’t to be confided in. I'd like to kmow who was to be, and if he did not want to tell me what kind of work he ‘was going to do, he could leave. He replied that he would be glad to do that and, thinking that he was just angry for the moment, I flared up—1I have a ready tongue and quiek temper, you know—and told him that he would have to make good those words. T said that I was going out for the evening, and would ex- pect to find that he had gone, when 1 returned. “Accordingly, 1 left the house and went to a ‘movie’ show. Returning in about three hours, 1 was surprised to find that he had gone, taking with him most of his belongings and some of mine—small things which he had given ‘me from time to time. I realized then that the situation was had them trace him and, after a short had the trace him and, after a short time, they located him {n New Brifain. In Which Love Triumphs. “There were two alternatives before me. 1 could chose between pride and love. 1 decided to take the latter, and went to Hartford last Saturday, arranging to board with Mrs. John G. Beckley at No, 145 High street. “My plan was to seek out my hus- band and beg forgiveness of him for having been so harsh. T wanted an opportunity to tell him that my love was still warm ‘and that, if he would only take me back again, I would try never to offend him again. T thought that he must love me still, and that he would not object to a recohclliation. “For this reasgon, I went down to Rapelye’s drug store Monday even- ing and entering the telephone booth there, called up the home of Mrs. Hanferd L. Curtig, of Liberty street, Harold's sister, with whom 1 under- stood he was staying. Harold he- came angry when he heard my voice and he berated me’for various things. Meanwhile, 1 could hear members of the Curtis family at his side, implor- ing him to hang up’the receiver and before 1 had a chance to say all 1 wanted to, Mr. Curtis came to the telephone and told me that they.dia not care to talk with me, Never Try Suicide Again, “Crazed with grief and rage for the moment, I took from my pocket- book a half pill of bicliloride of mer-| meury and, without even waiting to re- place the telephone receiver on its hook, I swallowed the poison, When 1 felt the fierce, burning pain in my throat, the thought of whét a rash thing I had done flashed through my mind. T remembered having in my pocketbook an emetic which I used who is ‘decidedly it some time ago on my dog and, seiz- ing it with trembling fingers, I swal- lowed the entire contents af the vial. T vomitted immediately and, although the burning sensation remained in my throat, I felt strong enough to walk out of the store, shuddering at the thought of what might have been. The world seemed relentless and cruei, but it occurred to me that there is some sunshine in it anyway, and [ didn't want to die. 1 shall never attempt suicide again. “Then 1 went to New Britain to Suppo&efi Trusses, Crutches, Cushions, Elastic Abdominal Belts, and everything else needed sick room. ;Our assortment enough to admit suitable selections for any demand. Look at our window display. DICKINSON DRUG CoO., 169-171 MAIN STREET see if 1 couldn’t manage: to have a talk with Harold, my husband. 1 can't remembey if I went near the Curtis house or not, but I recollect going ta the police station with a po- liceman I met. 1 asked the officer at the desk if there was no way of foreing Harold Sawtelle to meet me, without taking recourse to the courts. When I told him of my attempt to end my life, he had me rushed to the hespital. That was my first ride in the 'black wagon.' At the hos- pital, they didn't believe that T had taken anything, because the pupils of my eyes weren't dilated, nor was my throat very bad. They thought [ was ‘bluffing,’ hut they were wrong. T didn’t do it frighten Harold, though. My nervous prompted the action. “When T returned to my boarding house here, I found a letter from my mother. She had read in the Boston papers of my attempt and was nearly grief-stricken. 1 wrote her immedi- ately, saying that T was all right and would not do such a thing again. Called Vampire by Mrs. Curtis, “Yesterday, I went to New Britain again for the purpose of having a talk with Harold. Mrs. Curtis saw me in front of her house and she hurried out to the front veranda to warn me away. She called me an adventuress disposition | “IF YOU NEED A GARBAGE CAN BUY IT OF THE HARDWARE ALSO RAKES, BROOMS, WHEEL BARROWS, LAWN MOWERS HERBERT HARDWARE L.

She said I ought to be ashamed of myself to have all the policemen and trolley car conductors watching me all the time, and added that, if [ didn't go away, she would have me arrested. I don't know what I shall do. 1 cannot bring myself to believe that Harold's love for me has grown cold. Trouble from the First. “Ever rince Harold and [ were mar. ried, everything has seemed to have | gone wrong. We were married June 17 last my Rev. Dr. Perry of St. Paul's Episcopal church in Brookline, Mass., the pastorate of which my father once held. One week later, when e were enjoying our haneyymoon, we received word of the death of my father. “Subsequently, Harold was taken ill and was laid up for several weeks of typhoid fever. We were living in Hartford at that time, and he was in the cost department of the Johns- Pratt company. Later, we leased a cottage at No. 1 Roberts court, East Hartford, which belonged to Mrs! Jea- nette Roberts. Family Causes Trouble. “In the first place, Harold’s peaple | never approved of me. They didn't want him to marry me and, after the ceremony had heen performed, thev began to criticise me, particularly as regarding my hopsework. Probably | they were justified in doing so, be- cause I admit that T didn’t know much abaut housekeeping, inasmuch as I was brought up in a’ family where the children twere not required to assist about the house. We always had a servant. It seemed that his people were out to criticise everything I did &rd, on the other hand, speak words o1 sympathy to him, in my presence. ““This got on my nerves until, finally 1 induced Harold to give up his job and move away from Hartford. ' "We went to Bogton and made our home | with my mother. 'Of course, what petting there was there, was accorded | me, so that arrangement was notj satisfactory to him. Then, to add to our misfortune, T had a long siege of iliness, which T have not fully rve- covered from yot. “No, 1, don't want a divorce from my husband!” “Whatever he does, I love him still and hope that time will bring about a reconciliation. And then, of course, he can’t get a divorce from me, as he would have ne grounds upon which to base action,” concluded the heartbroken young wife. Families Well Known, At present Mrs. Sawtelle is in Iiartford where her brether, Dr. Wil- Ham Newton, D. D. S, of Boston, found her yesterday The young woman is the daughter of the late Itev. Dr. William Newton, who was one of the best known Episcopal cler- gvmen in New England and whose ‘ast church was St. Paul’s in Boston. Her husband is the son of Alfred W, Sawtelle, of 212 Ashley street, Haft- ford. Mrs. Hanford L. Curtis, of 29 Liherty street, this city, is a sister of the husband. and a vampire, and told me that she‘ MISSIONARY SOCIETY ELECTS, Annual Mcoting Held Yesterday Homie of Mrs, Marcus White.

At present, while this city is recognized as the hard- ware center, nevertheless it is handi- capped by its natural location. Aside from the main line of the railroue and without any waterway approach- ing it, the costs of transportation to and from here are considerably more than they otherwise would be, Hartford Wants Deeper River. With the construction of a barge canal that would connect New Brit- ain with Middletown and secure for New Britain thereby the services of the shipping on the Connecticut river these high expenses would be mater- ially lessened. Both imports and ex- ports would be cheapened. The prices of some commodities, such as coal and lumber, would also be cheap- ened as the added expense of trans- portation is borne by the retail p Particularly, since the Hait- fird chamber of commerce has started what seems to be a fruitful agitation for the widening of the river channel t0 1100 feet from Hartford to Say- brook and also deepening it to twelve feet, this canal would help New Britain and make Berlin, instead of a residential village, a bustling, man ufacturing community. ‘Would Follow Mattchessett However, the construction of such a canal as is proposed would eniall {he expenditure of an enormous amount of money, but as the bed of the Mattebessett river could be fol- lowed much of the way it would not cost as much as might be expected on first thought. While 1t 1s not likely that this canal will be built this year, or next vear, it is encouraging to note that steps are being taken in the right direction and today the business interests in this city feel much more optimistic about the possibility of thig project n the near future than they ever have before. The visit of Major Pillsbury to this city will be awaited with interest and with George M. Landers to represent the manufacturing interests and to point out the enormous benefits to be derived, and Mr. Johnston to speak from the businessmen’s point of view it is certain that the government en- gineer must be impressed with the feasibility of the proposition. to “THE BURGLAR."” .
