It was not until this morning that the authorities realized that there was a fourth man in the party. It was when O’'Brien and Lwon asked in a dazed manner for the “big fellow” that inquiries for him be- gan. They were not acquainted with bLis name and only knew that he was a fellow workman. Both pleaded not to be sent to jail, both wanted to pass Christmas at home, and both had sisters who were expecting them. Medical Examiner FEilcock arrived on the scene of the accident early, gave permission for the removal of the body to the morgue by W. J.

Black hair, brown eyes and a clean shaven face with a prominent scar on the left cheek bone are in- cluded in the description given to the Boston authorities.

Clasped hands are | tatooed on his left forearm. His clothing is of the type worn by freight hands and dock workmen, with no CHRISTMAS SUGGES- distinguishing marks. Nothing ex- cepting a pipe, the liquor, tobacco and a small amount of change was found in his pockets. The police have learned that the four came to New Britain last night from Plainville, passed the evening in various saloons and left on the last car.

Commenting upon the brief m.— state- . ment made yesterday in the house of commons by Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, regard- ing Germany’s peace offer, the Man- chester Guardian say: “Two things appear to emerge from this brief and dignified statement— i first, that the government will not re- j fuse to consider on their merits any proposals that may be made to them; second, they will not allow the gen- eral character of the terms on which alone they will consent to conclude peace to remain for a moment in doubt. That is as it should be.” The newspaper deplores the atti- tude of the irresponsible part of the press in.flouting proposals which are not.yet made. “Let us be as resolute as the case demands in the terms upon which we deem it necessary to insist, but let it never be said that we refused in mere insolence or levity to listen to the very name of peace.” QUIT WHEN “GAS” GAVE OUT.
