Barn and Dido't ive Her Food “BIGAMIST 13 BOUND OVER Farmhand Does Not Seem to Realize His .Serious. ‘Position—Entertain- ment Planned at Kensington Gram- mar School—Miss Wéods’ Shower. * What Prosecutor Gibney character- ized as the worst case that ever come to his ndtice, was held in the town court this morning when Arthur Good- rich, aged 31 of Wethersfield was put to plea on a charge oi bigamy. Goodrich seemed to be slightly deaf and when the -presecuting asked him whether or not he was guilty, he cast an inquisitive glance at his questioner. Mr. Gibney then suggested that a plea of “not guilty” be entered. Mrs. Annie Goodrich of Wethers- field was the first witness for state. She stated that the accused " “sarried her on March 1, 1901. The couple have had five children, three aof whom are still living. Goodrich would live with her for a few months and theu leave her, claimed the wit- “pess. He never contributed consist- ' *ently to her support and at present | sho was receiving aid from the town of Wethersfield. The last time she gaw her husband was in April of the present year. He left one day and she had never seen or heard of him until yesterday, when summoned as a witness. Wife No. 2 Testifies. Prosecutor Gibney called Laura Weeks of Hartford, who was found at the Beckley school yesterday. While testifying it was evident that Laura was not in full possession of her sen- # ges. She claimed that she was born on April 6th, 1889, but it was evident from her appearance that she was not over eighteen years old. =~ On be- ing asked where she was born she replied “New Haven.” Prosecutor Gibney asked her how she knew and this brought from her the fact that she had aspirations to follow in the # path of Sarah Rernhardt.. She said that she had an opvertun- ity to join a theatrical troupe but as the manager refused to take anyone over twenty-one, she was Ineligible. Bhe went to the town clerk of Hart- ford and asked for a record of her birth. He was unable to find any ‘# such record. The witness said she poncluded she must have been horn In New Haven. The witness said that she lives with her aunt and father at 102% Brook street, Hartford, her mo- ther having died when she was four years old. . She asserted that she met the accused at TLaurel Park three weeks ago last Sunday. He took her pn the merrv-go-round and bought her a supper and made an appoint- ment for a week later at City hall quare, Hartford. On this occasion o ‘took her to Riverside grove and id mot return home with her until attorney . the | 11:30 p. m. On September 18 she met him again by appointment in Hartford. He took her to East Hart- ford where they were married by Rev. Mr. Snyder. On leaving East Hartford, he brought her to New Britain where they lived in a board- ing house for a few days. On Monday of this week he told her that he could obtain employment in Beckley. They went there and he entered the employ of Daniel Webster. As Mr. Webster . would not:let her in the house the prisoner made her live in the barn with him. He did not sup- rly her with any food in, three days 80 she decided to leave him. Seeing the children at recess she thought she, ““would like to learn something,” so she went to the school and asked Mrs, Bacon, the principal, to admit her. i The witness confessed that she was row on probation in Hartford for selling postal cards without a license. She said the prisoner also told her that he would rent a certain house in Beckley if he could get it for $1 a week. He would also bring his mahogany furniture which was at his mother’s home in Wethersfield. The girl placed timplicit confidence in Goodrich and believed his wild tales. A. U. Hanmer, first selectman of the town of Wethersfield, said he has known both Goodrich and his ficst wife for a number of years. He con- tinually leaves his wife as a charge on the town while he wanders about the country. Mr. Hanmer had never seen Goodrich in a drunken condition. He characterized the prisoner as a “rover.” Goodrich Admits Charge. Goodrich took the stand and told the court that the charges were true. He said that he first met Laura ‘Weeks in Laurel park about three wecks ago, in the company of his brother, Charles. He thought it would be fun to “cut Charles out,” so he set out to win the affections of the girl. When Prosecutor Gibney asked bim if he knew that he was commit- ting bigamy. when he took out a mwarriage license he replied in the af- firmative. In summing up Prosecutor Gibney declared Goodrich an inhuman and ungrateful brute. At the same time ‘he failed to see why a minister of the gospel would have marricd such a couple without first ascertaining if their statements were true, Their very appearance would indicate that some definite facts should be secured before accepting any statements. The court should have no mercy on a brute who would compel a young girl t¢ go without food for days, the prosecutor said. Judge Griswold found probable cause and bound Goodrich over to the December term of ‘superior court under $1,000 bonds. Gir] Goes Back to Hartford. The officials of the court were in a ! quandry 2s to what could be done with Laura Weeks. Upon questioning her Selectman Gibney learned that i she had not reported to the probation officer in Hartford in some time, so it was decided that Sheriff Clark should take her to that city this af- ternoon when he places Goodrich in the care of the jailer on Seyms | street. Miscellaneous Shower. | Many friends of Miss Margaret | Weods gathered at the home of Mar- garet Flynn last evening and tendered her a miscellaneous shower. The home was tastefully decorated and an enjoyable time was had. Mrs. Beechér presided at the piano and lMlss Rose Fagan and Miss Nora O’Brien entertained with vocal selec- tions. Miss Woods, who is soon to become the bride of Edward Moore, is one of Kensington’s most popular young ladies. Entertainment Planned. The teachers of the Kensington Grammar school are very busy for- riwlating plans -for an entertainment to be given in the near future for the purpose of raising funds to buy new apparatus for the playground con- rected with the school. The feature of the program will be a pantomime ‘“Robinson Crusoe,” which will be performed by the chil- dren. Miss, Kathryn- Kiniry is in charge of the costumes for this part end hag her committee now working in an industrious manner. Miss Agnes Carlson, a new member of the faculty, will dance her own interpre- tation of the “Tarantella.” Miss Carl- son took a course in folk dancing at Storrs college during the past sum- mer. Another part will be a Japanese drill by the pupils of Miss Adele Mur- ray, who is chairman of the general committee of arrangements. Miss Elizabeth Bassette has chosen the fol- lowing folk dances for her scholars to perform: The Danish dance of greet- ing, Swedish clap dance, Highland fling, the German hopping dance, and the Komarinskaja. The maple trees were planted in June through the efforts of the mem- bers of the school and are considered a valuable addition to the property. It is thought that the baseball series between the Kensington Grammar school and the Worthington school will be finished next week. Berlin Breifs, Engene McSweeney and E. E. ‘Austin are on a trip to New York. A cradle roll was held at the Ken- sington Congregational church ves- terday afternoon. Leland Gwatkin left yesterday for a short sojourn in Massachusetts.

The Berlin Gun club will hold a shoot at the Fair grounds Saturday at 2 o'clock, instead of the usual 4 o'clock meet. BRITISH STEAMER SUNK. Chancellor Sent to Bottom—Part of Her Crew Saved.

Plainville News TRUMBULL'S HELP PREPARE DEMANDS Departmect “N” Emploges Want Shorter Hours With Same Pay | | WILL GIVE A WEEK'S NOTICE. Supt. Gwilim Denies Having Received Ultimatum—>Strike Fever Seems to Have Hit Towwn—Relations Between Company and Employes Cordjal. While officials of the conern deny having knowledze of any dissatisfa tion on the part of their employers, it was said today that the men in the press ana machine departments cf the Trumbull Eleetric company's ! plant have prepared demands for fifty hour week, Wwith sixty hours pay, | time and a half for overtime and double pay for Fundays. One cof the men back of the ultimatum . 1 ta's morning that the company will be given a week in which to consider what action it will take, the employes deiaying the calling of a strike until the expiration of that period. The spreading, of the strike fever to Plainville occusions no special surprise, few beiieving that the torv was immune from contagion. Even the manufactucevs have been keeping | their ear close to the ground, fearing that the cissension in a large number | of factories throughout the state would make the men in the locai concerns uneasy. : According to the statements of an cmploye of the press room at the Trumbull factory, the petition Iur shorter hours and more pay was sign- ed by all the men in Department M, with the exception of seven. Unless the company acedes to the d mands of the men, it is saia they in- tend to go on strike in a week. When questioned regarding report this morning, 8. S. Gwi superintendent of the company, nied having received any petition from the men- What the attitude of the company will be concerning an increase in viages or the reduction of working ths 1 hours 4is not known. J. H. Trumbull, | president of th: corncern, is expected home tomorrow or Sunday from New York, where he has been receiving treatment in a private hospital for the past two weeks. Until he returns it is doubtful any action would e taken regardi ployes. The Trumbull company has never had any troubie with its employes. The general belicf prevails that the concern has always been most con- siderate in deuling with the men working 1n the plant. The treatment accorded the men apparently ha been very fair and the relations he tween the officers and employes hasc heretofore heen most cordial. At the factoiy, local workingmen state the wages #ve better than those | paid in most places in the state. The conditions under which the work is done are also lretter than the average and situations in the Trumbull plant are always in demand. For the past few years the company has been giving the employes an an- nual outing, paying all the expenses of 4 trip to Savin Rock and the social features attending: In many other ways special consideration has been shown to the help, and it is not thought that there will be any serious break at this tiwe- Local Pastor in Bristol. Plainville ministers have enlisted in the temperance cause in Bristol and they have arranged to help the pro- hibition forces in their efforts to keep the city dry. The no-license people are prosecuting a vigorous campaign and they aver tlhiere will be no let-up until election day. Noon rallies ¥ the factories were inaugurated today, ministers advocat- ing the cause ~f temperance as the workingmen were returning to the mills. Rev. J. W. Denton, pastor of tne Advent Christian church here, was among the speaiers- Mr- Denton gave an address at the plant of the Wal- lace Barnes coinpany. Sixty Days for Parkinson. Harry Parkinson of this place, bound over by Justice Condell as a common drunkard, was given a sixty day sentence wh=n he appeared bef.rc Judge Tuttle in the superior court vesterday. Parkinson bhas entered a plea of guilty ond the state’s attor- ney did not insist on a heavy penalty. Fred Foster, fined $5 and costs for allowing his auto to stand on the highway in Plainville at night withogt having a rear light burning, changed his plea to guil'y when he appeared before Judge Tuttle. The court couldn’t understand why an appeal from the decision of the Plainvii'e Justice had been taken in view of the plea made by the accused. The Jjudgment of the court here was sus- tained and besides having to pay the fine. Foster will have to settle the cost of prosecution in the higher trib- unal as well as in Plainville. Business Men’s Barbecue- The annual outing of the Business and Improvement association, which will take the form of a sheep barbe- cue, will be held tomorrow afternoon at Lake Compounce and, according to the report of the committee of ar- rangements there will be a large at- tendance. Plans for the affair have been perfected and with pleasant weather the prospects of an enjoy- able day are very bright. A special trolley car, chartered for those who will attend, will leave the | terminal of the Bristol and Plainville | Tramway company’s line at 12:40.

Little Stir in Politics, Although the annual town election is but ten days off, politics in Plain- ville is comparatively quiet and the indications are that thtre will be but little stir, except perhaps on the license question, until election day. Although there are three candidates in the field for celectman, there is already a sign ¢’ a campaign, George 8- Babcock, who is running indepen- dently, having nominated himself af- ter his defeat at the republican cau- cus, seemingly having the floor to himself- Republicans look forward to Se- lectman Johnson’s re-clection by a substantial plurality. They seeming- 1y are not alarmed over Mr. Babecock's decision to make a lone fight for the place. One of the G. O. P. leaders estimates that the present clerk of the board will not get over twenty- five votes W. C. Hart, the democratic nom- inee, also .appears confident of elec- tion. He predicts that Babcock will not get more than a dozen votes. Babcock himself does not concur in the views of his opponents. e claims he has been promised sup- port from many members of -both parties and he expects thrg he will at least get a place on the board. The other offices as usual are practically conceded to the republi- cans with the usual majorities. The license fight again promises to be close. The liquor dealers predict that the town will remain “wet,” the temperance advocates making con- trary claims. A flurry in the political situation is looked for tomorrow when the select- men meet to make voters. There are etc., will be made” and it is expected there will be considerable activity among the party leaders, and the licenses and no- license workers as well. simpson Will Accept. Friends of Selectman V/. J. Simp- gon state that he will accept the re- publican nomination for assessor and will support the G. O. P. at the elec- tion. Mr. Simpson was named for the office during his absence from town, { the selection making it impossible to At the lake roasted sheep, corn mname him for selectman, a position ninety-nine names on the list “to be ! l which he has filled for a number of | years. At the time it was said Mr. Simp- son would be dissatisfied with the action of the caucus and would refuse to make the run for selectman. If he consents to having his name on the ballot, republican leaders will natural- Iy be well pleased, as it will preclude the possibility of defection from the party ranks owing to soreness on the part of his friends.
