N, G- or this city was in Charleston, South Carolina, on pleasure bent. regiment was there ana the Boys in Blye were given a royal reception by the folks who not so many years pre- viously aimed at their extermination. The regiment left New Haven to attend the celebration in Yorktown in commemoration of the centennial of the fall of that place to the American army. In all there were about 120 New Britain men aboard the ship and they passed through perils that re- main in their memories even today. On account of a fog the captain of the ship delayed his departure from New Haven harbor and when the boat did reach the sound the water ‘'was so rough that the captain decided not to venture the trip between Long Island and the coast. He proceeded to take an outward passage. The ship ran in- to the teeth of the gale and the regi- ment was given up for lost. Those were the days before the wireless was even thought of and the ship and reg- iment were thought to have been de- stroyed by the storm. Fortunately, the ship weathered the gale and the First Regiment marched proudly into Yorktown, twenty-four hours late for the celebration but in time to fall in line in the parade that concluded the exercies. The Connecticut men were wildly cheered when it was discovered that they had escaped the jaws of the sea and on all sides they . were ac- climed as heroes. After the Yorktown celebration the First Regiment accepted an invita- tion to go to Charleston. Many prom- inent New Britain men were among tourists. Rev. Dr. J. W. Cooper, pas- tor of the South Congregatonal church was chaplain of the regiment. Augus- tus N. Bennett was captain, William (Cap) Allen was first lieutenant and In fact the entire John Bingham was second lieutenant. Ausfin N. Bennett, son of Captain Bennett and then private in Company D, walked in on City Clerk A, T. Thompson today and reminded him of the fact that this was the thirty- fourth anniversary of the visit to Charleston. As City Clerk Thompson was in Company D a: that time the fact was of great interest to him. Mr. Bennett produced a worn document which he had found amaong his father’s effects and which proved to be a poem written by one lieutenant M. Quinlivan. a member of the Irish Volunteers, of Charleston and dedi- cated.to Company D. The poem fol- lows: Forget it:not dear Boys in Blue Although we wore the Gray With loving hearts we welcome you To our old home today.

What with' pear and apple trees in blossom, roses in bloom and a chilly wind sweeping down from the power plant of the northern nights, this is one of the silliest seasons yet to be recorded. The young bloods don't know whether to take their winter coats out of “uncle’s” or go back to B. V. D's. But the climax was cap- ped today when A. G. Smith of Win- ter street went out into the yard and picked raspberries from a bush bear- ing enough for dessert. Mr. Smith says the bush bears two crops every year but it is believed that this year's crop was later than any other ever harvested. DRUG STORE ENTERED, The police have been notified of a theft committed at J. P. Connors’ drug store at Hartford avenue and North street late Thursday night or early vesterday. Entrance was gained through the rear door and ahout $100 was taken. The police have a defin- ite clue to the thief, it is said.

It's my first pay’ and she gave my husband twenty-five cents to get some beer. My husband went out for the beer and he poured out three glasses, ane for her, one for mn and one for himself. Then there came a rap on the door. My husband opened it and there stood the accused. He asked him to come in and sit down and he filled up a glass for him. We sat there awhile and the accused spoke to his wife saying: ‘““Veronica, how is it going to he with us? Why dan’t you want to live together. If you don’t live with me, I'll get another woman, “Veronica replied, 'If T don’t you you can get another woman.’ “Then he pulled out a revolver and pointed it at his wife and said, ‘This is your last minute.’ “My husband grabbed his hands and suit said he could not shoot in his house.” | Shown Revolver—Faints. All during this tragic recital the un- fortunate young widow had been get- ting more and more nervous and Pros- ecutor Klett asked her\if a revolver he had in his hand was the one¢ used in | the killing. She started to take it from him. until he stepped back, and sald it was. He then asked her how TFraiter held the revelver when he shot her husband. Then it was that the deadly import of the question and the terrible mem- ories it awoke, flashed into the young woman’s brain. She held forth her hand; it fell limp at her side. She opened her mouth to speak but her lips were pale and no sound came forth. She turnd deathly pale ond her eyelids fluttered as she swooned. Recess was declared until she could be sufficiently revived to continue her narrative. As Mrs. Gruscha fainted, Fraiter, sitting across the court room in the prisoners’ pen, exhibited no emotion than curiosity as to what was taking place. As they carried the woman from the room, however, he hung his head. Points Gun at Her. Returning to the stand Mrs. Grus- cha told the court that after her hus- band grabbed Fraiter the latter be- gan to shoot and she rushed into the street yelling for help. She thought fcur or five shots were.fired. As she ran back into the house, she said, she met Fraiter running out. She grab- bed him by the coat and held on and he pointed the gun at her. At this moment Lawrence Fagan, a factory watchman, rushed up and knocked the gun from Fraiter's hand. As Fraiter stooped to recover it Fagan kicked it aside and Mrs. picked it up and carried it to the Stanley Works where word was sent to the police. Her husband last, she said, as room and she testified that his last words, spoken to Fraiter, were: “I know you have killed me you will never kill anyone else.” To questions from Lawyer Saxe the widow said that upon entering the room that evening Fraiter and her husband talked in a friendly way for about five minutes before he turned to his wife. She denied that her husband struck Fraiter and aiso denied that Fraiter was on the floor when the shots were fired. Enacts Murder Scene. Exhibiting iron nerve Mrs. Grus- cha enacted the bloody action for the benefit of the court. Standing on the court room floor she impersonoted her husband and instructed Interpreter Malinowski how to stand to be in a similar position to the one occupied by Fraiter at the time of the murder. She demonstrated that Gruscha wu3 holding Fraiter’s hands down and was twisting them to loosen the grip on the gun when he began to shoot. Witness said Fraiter lived with his wife at her house for a week but did not live with her at the time of the murder. She had never heard Fraiter and his wife quarrel and did not know who the strange man who came with Fraiter earlier in the eve- ning might be. Mrs. Gruscho insisted that several shots were .fired by Fraiter and said one of them lodged in the wall. With the conclusion of Mrs. Crus- was breathing his she entered the but /, | Judge Kirkham Rules | meter so that it would not register other | Gruscha i cha’s testimony Prosecutor Klett rested his case and the defense brought forth no testimony, where- upon Judge eMskill found probable cause and bound the accused over to the next term of the superior court, convening in Hartford on the first Tuesday in November, without bonds. After the hearing county coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun held a coroner's inquest on the case, interviewing the several witnesses.

He examined | the meter at 49 Pleasant street and found it to be fifty cents short. At 87 Pleasant street the meter was all right but at 96 it was 25c short. Oscar Erickson, another employe of The company told of seeing Picula en- ter 49 Pleasant street yesterday, and / then walk completely around the square before going to 87 Pleasant street when he entered. He then walked up John and Park streets and seeing the gas company wagon changed his course. Officer Theo- dore Johnson arrested Picula on com- plaint of Erickson. Mrs. Rodgers of 49 Pleasant street ! told of seeing Picula at this address and also said that a month ago he came to the same vacant tenement looking for a rent. Officer Malone said the accused told conflicting stories when questioned and Steve Dudack, of the Gas com- leptember 28 the meter at 484 Arch street was “.50; | short. The woman in the house | described a man there previously as | the man arrested yesterday. Mrs. Riker, the woman, picked out Picula | in court as looking like the man who came to her house a couple of days before the meter theft was discov- ered. Pressed to idéntify Picula Mrs. Riker refused saying ‘that she only wanted to take the blame off her own shoulders as she didn't want it thought that she did it. 8he would only say that she saw a man like Picula come to her house to look at the rent. During the trial it was brought out that the meter at the house at 75 | Clark street, owned by Lawyer LeWitt himself, has also been tampered with and Picula is suspected of that crime as well. On the stand, Picula said he was | looking for a cheap rent when he went to the Pleasant street house.
