No Real Motive Voight told the police last night that he shot Mrs. Roberts but aside from a quarrel over a child’s swing in the yard, and minor grievances which had cropped out during the past three months, he did not know why he did t. 4 Year Old Witness Voight's story of the affair was ac- cepted by the police as probably cor- rect. The only witness to it was Steph- en Roberts, .aged 4, who was at play nearby at the time. Voight was arrest- ed by Harry Kennedy, driver of the home of Voight in Trumbull, and who found him sitting beside the body of Mrs. Roberts. Kennedy took him in the ambulance and started cityward, meeting a machine with officers in it. Voight was turned over to them. “Guess I Was Crazy" Kennedy says that when he first saw Voight he asked him why he had done the shooting. Kennedy said Voight replied: ‘T don't know. We had a quarrel over a swing, and when I got the gun shesaid ‘Go ahead and shoot’ I put the gun to my shoulder and nred. I gueu 1 was crazy.” Each. #ad Threatened "'Yolgnt's explr\nman indicated the police say, a ‘“nagging match” be- tween man and woman. Vgight said the woman threatened to break the windows.

Mrs. Roberts ran through a corn field to the Oman's camp of the ass goclated charities and told Mrs. Charlotte Smith Leiburm and Miss Mary Campbell of the homicide. They telephoned for an ambulance and the police. L. F. & C.

Meade of Ansonia, is a visitor in this city today in con- nection with the convention of the | Connecticut assoclation of fire chiefs, He has come into prominence within the past week because of his arrest following his allowing a Sunday exhi- bition game of baseball between the Ansonia team and the St. Louls Car- dinals. Mayor Meade stated this morning, that the matter was all a matter'of hypocrisy. He said that the persons who were responsible for his arrest in Ansonia were not sincere in their at- tempts to stop Sunday baseball, but were simply ‘‘playing politics” and trying to incriminate him in the eyes of the public. He stated that the ma- fority of thf people in the city were with him {n" his fight against the men who were thel cause of his arrest. He stated that a number of those who had caused him to be arrested, were backers of the town team and had attended a number of the games| played there and had never before raised any gbjection to Sunday base- ball. The Ansonia mayor expressed him. self as being absolutely in favor of Sunday baseball, and said that he was a great fan himself. Asked whether he had any fear of the consequences, he said that there was no evidence in the case that could be used against him. He stated that even the authori- ties who made the actual arrest, were not in sympathy with the movement, but he was glad to see that they did their duty when called upon. He did not seem to think that it would have any effect on other citfes in the state. and said that he does not think play- Cited By Federal Trade Commission Washington, Aug. 16.—The Ameri-| can Tobacco Co. and the Chicago Tobacco Jobbers association has been cited to appear before the federal| trade commission and answer charges| involving alleged price fixing agree- ments, No date for the hearing was announced though the respondents were allowed 30 days in which to flle | “In my opinion the two platoon | system is the only em with which | to run a city fire department,” said | Policeman mon Council, At tonight's meeting of the com mon council, a petition will be re cejved from a nnmber of expressmen asking that no moving vans or trucke| be allowed parking privileges between Main and Elm streets on Commercial street.
