EVERY SALOON IN BRISTOL ORDERED CLOSED BY 0CT. 8 Prosecutor Gives Proprietors Un- til Saturday Night to Dis- mantle Places of Business KITCHEN BARROOMS AND SPEAK EASIES INCLUDED Accused In Prep Of Richardson, And Others Hereafter Jail Sentences Will Be De- manded When Any Person Is Brought Into Court on Liquor Charges—All Cafe Men Promise To Obey Order, Rather Than Face Prosecution. Bristol, Oct 7.—Every saloonkeep- er in this city was ordered to close his place of business and to dismantle the interior furnishings by Saturday night, by Prosecuting Attorney James T. Mather, today. Yesterday each of the 11 saloon- keepers accepted an invitation to be at Mr. Mather's office this morning ‘‘on an important matter.” If the saloon- keepers did not close up Mr. Mather said he proposed to campaign against such places. He also said that here- after on convictions for liquor viola~ tions he would ask the court to impose jail sentences. All the saloonkeepers promised to obey the order, and some left the meeting with the intention of closing up at once. Prosecutor Mather also publicly an- nounced - thuat: he would = campaign against ‘‘kitchen barrooms’ and all forms of ‘‘speak easies.’” He added that he intended “to clean up the city,” CHILD ASSAULTED AND FIENDISHLY MURDERED Madison, N. J., Girl Stabbed 25 Times, Throat Cut and Heart'Pierced. Madison, N. J., Oct. 7.—Pierced by 25 knife wounds, apparently the work of a maniac, the body of Janet Law- rence, 12 year .old girl, was found early today concealed behind a log in Kluxez woods near here. Her throat had been slashed and her heart pierced. The child was reported missing yes- terday afternoon when she failed to return from the home of a neighbor, Mrs. Joseph Sandt, where she had been caring for the Sandt children. At that time the girl's younger brother was sent to find out what was detaining her. Searching parties were organized when he reported his sis- ter had started for home several hours before. County Detective Edward Drenna, after going over the scene of the crime declared he had several clues which might lead to the early arrest of a suspect. After the body had been brought here Lieut. W. J. Ryan of the Madi- son police declared that the murder had been preceded by a criminal as- sault. A light haired youth seen loiter- ing about the vicinity early in the afternoon is-being sought in the be- lief that he may shed light on the identity of the girl's assailant. It was said no suspicion was attached to him because he was seen to leave the vi- cinity going toward Floral Park, in the opposite direction from Kluxez woods. A handkerchief found knotted tightly around the girl's neck is be- lieved to have been used to choke little Janet into silence. None of the residents of the vicinity heard any outery. AR i s e (o Tl D bushes and twine, said by the po- lice to be used only in greenhouses of which there are several in the vi- cinity are the clues which the mur- derer left behind him. The twine was used to tie the little 2irl’s hands behind her after she was silenced by the handkerchief about her neck before being dragged from the street to the woods, only a hun- dred yards from her home in the fash- jonable Ridgedale avenue district. The girl's father, J. W. Lawrence, 2 accountant for the Lackawanna ilroad, told detectives he was cer- in his child was waylaid on the sidewalk while returning from a rhbor's home. SUICTDE REPORT. Sheriff Gabb today denied posi- ely the reports current about the city that former Sergeant A. J. Rich- -dson had committed suicide, or tempted to take his own life, in his ti $1,000 Is Lodged Againit Former En- forcement Agent Hartford, Oct. 7.—Thomas J. Mc- Auliffe, late federal prohibition cn- forcement officer in Connecticut, re- mained in Hartford jail last qight, unable to obtain $15,000 in bail which was necessary to -permit him to be free pending a hearing on the charge of accepting a bribe as a federal of- ficor. He was arrested late yesterday after a conference in which U. 8. At- torney E. L. Smith was the chief fig- ure and at which was present State’s Attorney H. M. Alzorn, who had pre- viously secured McAuliffe’s arrest on 2 bench warrant on a charge such as is now preferred by Attorney Smith. Held in Hartford Jail Counsel for the accused has said that it seemed unlikely friends would come forward a second tine and fur- nish bail. He asked U. 8. Commis- sioner Corbett to commit McAuliffe to the New Haven jail, but %o this U. S. Attorney Smith replied that while it was in the commissioner’s power to name the jail there seemed to be no precedent, and for various reasons he objected to the prisoner going to the New Haven jail. Commissioner Cor- bett rgfused the request. Is Now Federal Case. With McAuliffe a federal prisoner the new charge takes precedence over that brought by the state’s attorney. As McAuliffe’s case in the state coucts is linked up with many others brought by the state's attorney on evidence se- cured by the state police bearing upon the doings of liquor runners in New Britain, the interest fs now centered upon the next step to be taken. Charles and Samuel Giardino of New Britain, still held in jail under $15,000 on the charge of giving bribes to McAuliffe. Wiil Be No Controversy. U: S. District Attorney Smith statqd last night that while McAuliffe has Dassed oUt of control of Mr. Alcorn there will be no conflict between the federai and sfate officers over the prisoner. The latter can see the pris- oner and taik with him in connectior| with the state’s case. Court Sits This Month. The United States district court will sit this month, which will givq op- portunity for McAuliffe’s case to be taken up before the superior criminal court comes in for the December term. It is to the latter term that Detective Sergeant Richardson, his two sons, and Wacob Winkle have been held for trial on the charge of receiving and con- cealing a stolen automobile, a case de- veloped in-conncction with the death at New Britain of Louis Winkle. > $1,000 Is Mentioned.

The federl complaint mentions al- leged acceptance of $1,000 to betray h cial trust. DID NOT SEE ALCORN Mayor Calls at State’s Attorne) fice in Hartford But Has No Offic Conference. Mayor Orson F. Curtis called at the office of State’s Atorney Hugh 2i Hartford, yesterd: in an effort to glean what progress had teen made in the Winkle investiga- tion and the rum ring expose. The state’s attorney was not in his office. Mayor Curtis stated this morning that he had no information to bring to the attention of Mr. Alcorn, ncither had an interview been solicited on the | part of himself or the attorney.

It was stated this afternoon by Emmanuel DiNonno, one of the persons interested in securing a bhond for the Giardio hrothers that State's Attorney Alcorn had not acted on cell at the jail early this morning. the matter as y |EX-DRY AGENT WILL BE ARRAIGNED THISMONTH Case Is Taken From Alcorn’s Hands, But He Will Have Full Access To aring Prosecution kale, Giardino Specific Charge OF Ac-|U. S. Marhal Insists He cepting One Bribe Of| Be Given Chance To Meet Charges Against Him—Harding May Step In New Haven, Oct. T.—Until a reply comes from Attorney Gen Daumgherty no further statement will be made by U. 8. Marzhal William R. Palmer of Connecticut who has refused to tender his resignation. The letter to Mr. Daugherty was sent last might and in it Marshal Palmer said that as he understood charges had been made against his conduct of the of- fice he would not resign unt{l he had had opportunity to meet them. Mr. Palmer last night and this morning was visited by many friends with whom he talked over the situma- tion in which he finds himself. As marshal he succeeded C. C. Middle- brooks who was a democrat and ap- pointee of President Wilson in sumc- cession to the republican incumbent whose ter—1 expired. The replacement of Mr. Middlebrooks by Mr. Palmer was due, it was understood at the time, to factional difference in the democratic party in the state which continued for a considerabic period after Mr. Middlebrooks’ commission had expired. Mr. Palmer long had been a prom- inent figure in party politics in Con- necticut and active in conventions. It was understood today that two investigators from the internal rev- enue office in New York had been ordered here to look over the office in connection with possible change in the marshalship. Palmer’s Letter. Mr. Palmer sent the following tele- gram to the attorney general: “Replying to your telegram, I am writing you today.” Tha letter follows: “Tha Attorney General, “Washington, D. C. “Under ordinary conditions, I should comply with your request for my resig- nation without hesitation. My reason for not doing so is that it is intimated by one of the newspapers published in this state that charges have been preferred against me, and this intima- tion has been copied by many other papers. Therefore, to tender my resig- nation at this time would be natural- ly construed as indicating an unwil- lingness on' my part to face any charges that may have been lodged with you. - Whereas the exact con- trary i3 the case. “I1f accusations have been made to you reflecting upon my official conduct your request for my resignation indi- cates that you accept them as being true. Simple justice seems to demand that I should be acqualnted with any charges that have been made against me and that I should be brought face to face with the person . or persons making these charges in order that I may have an opportunity to deny and refute them. “My people have lived in what is now Connecticut, continually for a period of nearly 400 years, and there has never been a blot upon the name of any one of them. therefore, refuse to tender my resignation under existing conditions unless you accept the suggestion that 1 have made, and I make this refusal with the full realization that the president has the unquestioned right to summarily me from office, but 1 the firm belief that he will not exercise this authority unless any charges that have been made against me are proven to his entire satisfac- tion. Respectfully, am R. Palmer, United States Marshal.” Also fies Senator: Palmer said he had maileq of his letter to President Hard- and United States Senators Bran- degee and McLean of Connecticut.
