On, the following day, Mrs. Powell went to the room occupied by the couple. She was surprised to find wearing apparel that she thought wag taken with her sister to Water- bury. When she attempted to move a trunk that ordinarily was light and found it to bé extremely heavy, she was alarmed and called in neighbors. The neighbors suggested that the po- lice be summoned. Patrolmen Thom- as Woods and Michael Brophy were detailed to the house. Upon opening the trunk, the police- men found the top container in place. This was removed and the body of the victim was found, cbvered with a coat and with toy horse reins tied| about the neck. Marks indicated that she had been strangled, Further in- vestigation by the police fixed the time of the deed at 10:30 o'clock in the morning. Prior to coming here, Evanoff had been a miner in Colorado. He was employed by the Hibbard Contracting| Co. on the Rogers’ Recreation build-| ing on Church street, then in course of consatruction.

They or- ganize their own courts and in fact have thelr own form of civil govern- ment, the speaker sald. A movement to organize the repub- lic at Litchfield was started by Rev. John Hutchins in April of 1904. Five years ago there wore 19 boys at the institution and today there are 70, Many of the boys are sent to the re- public by police court judges, by pro- bation officers, by school superintend- ents and often times by parents them- selves, Mr. Roberts added. The speaker said that there are three elements which have made the republic successful. They are the home life, the-doctrine of work and 'the principle of self government. Mr, Roberts asserted that there is noth- ing that can be done for a boy that will have a more educative effect than to affix a responsibility onto him and that is exactly wha the republic does, Miss Lois Shaw, New Britain Girl Scout executive secretary, spoke brief- ly on the. drive being made by the girls to raise funds for a drum corps. Cookies are being made by the girls and are: being sold this week to raise money. Orders for 47 dozens of these cookies were received this noon.
