Coleman of 63 Bushnell - street late last night by state policemen on the charge of polsoning her hus- band, Archie Maston, 85, by putting polson in the teapot and serving the contents to him at breakfast yester- day morning. Mr, Maston was discovered un- conscious in bed and he was taken to St, Francls' hospital where it was sald today he was expected to re- cover. Jealousy Is said to have been the motive, Mrs. Maston was taken to the tocal police station at 11:40 last night and locked up on a charge of poisoning with attempt to mur- der. She will be given a prelimin- ary hearig in Bloomfield before Judge Marshall J. Bradley when the contents of the teapot are analyzed and the case of Mr. Maston is com- pletely dlagnosed, The police found the teapot in the kitchen. In the pot was dis- covered a green powder, The con- tents were taken to the state labora- fmprisonment and rescue efforts at Sand Cave. Brigadier General H. H. Denhardt, commander of the na- tional guardsmen, was in cliarge of | the court. Arrives at the Cave “T arrived at Cave City about 9 o'clock in the morning of ¥ebruary 3,” said Miller, in opening his story. “I went directly to the hotel and made inquiry as to whether the man had been gotten out of the cave or not. “I then proceeded to the cave where 1 found six or eight men standing around the outside and two boys were also there. There were about fifteen men in and around the cave altogether, I met Homer and Marshall Collins, brothers of the en- tombed man, Floyd Collins. They came up out of the cave entrance and Homer sald he had fed his brother, “On the way out to the cave I Hartford, Feb, 10. — Gasoline enough to fill to capacity rescrvoir No. 1 of the Hartford Municipal water supply, located at West Hart- ford, was consumed by motor ve- hicles in Connecticut during the past year, it is jndicated by records of the state motor vehicle department. The cost of it to automobile driv- ers was more than enough to pay all the expenses of the state gov- ernment for the year, being in ex- cess.of $21,000,000. The total consumption of taxable met Columbus Doyel, brother of B. Doyel, who owns the property eon which the cave entrance is located.

As Appropriation Last Year, The praning committee of the board of finance and taxation will meet tonight and its shears are ex- pected to clip Jarge amounts off the estimates of nearly every depart. ment, with especial attention to the budget of the park commission, which calls for three times as much as was allowed last year. Discussion among members of the board of finance and taxation, the common council and the city meeting board indicates that any effort to provide the full amount of the park board's requests will meet opposi- tjon and is almost certain of defeat. The park department asks more than $100,000 as against approxi- mately $35,000 last year. The pur- pose of the extraordinary .arge budget is to rush to completion work which has been started in the Wil- low Brook and the north end parks, and Included among the items of work in the latter account is the construction of a caretaker's' bun- galow. This is expected to be one of the items to be clipped. The commissioners explained the erec- tion of a bungalow at a cost of about $7,000 is one of the matters neecs- sary to proper caretaking at the park. It is understood that an effort will be made to provide an amount of money sufficient to complete work on one of the two parks and allow the other to stand until next year. With the financing departments now working on a bill that will permit | the city to expend payments over a period of years on work that does not cost a fraction of what is asked by the park department, it is not believed consistent to triple on ap- propriation. 5 At the recent session of the board of finance and taxation, the park commission submitted figures to show the per capita payments for parks in this and other cities. While New Britain showed lower than some of the other cities at that time, the proposed budget for mext year would put the city far in ad- |vance of many of the larger cities in this section of the country. The increase asked for is almost great enough to necessitate an addition of one mill to the tax rate which now threatens to touch the 24 mill mark. | While the park budget will be the center of the “pruners” atten- tion, other departments will also be pared down in the drive to keep the | tax rate at a popular figure, | | BIG WINE ROBBERY | A5 Armed Mon in Five Cars Got 16 | | Barrcls From Warehouse in Chi- | cago This Morning, Chicago, Feb. 10.—Fifteen armed | men in five automobiles early today | raided a Chicago, Milwaukee | Paul railroad company warehouse | here, and escaped with 46 barrels of | port wine, after they forced Dan | Kelleher, warehouse engineer, to assist them, he wine was valued at $12,000 and was the property of the Italian Vineyard Co. | x of the ringleaders of the rob- | ber band invaded the warehouse | shortly before midnight and forced | the night engineer to aid them.

The tapping of the drills and the noise of the spades had aroused Mr. Backes, the custo- dlan of the cemetery, whose home was located within 300 feet of the Lincoln mausoleum and before the thieves had gotten ready to remove the body from its copper sheathing in the glass covered casket, he and his helpers were upon them, It was little Ida Mary Backes, now Mrs. J. P. Maguire of 33 North Main street, this city, who saw the ghouls fleeing through the cemetery, back in 1875. She lived with her parents in the yellow Louse in the cemetery for 12 years and often heard her father tell of the moving | of the dead president’s body and lhow the great emancipator looked | when a small group of officials lift- ed the outer covering of the casket and gazed down upon Lincoln as he lay from the time of his death of 1865. + RUNS TO CATCH TRAIN, WOMAN'S HEART FAILS Mrs. Elizabeth Parmelay Succumbs ‘to Strain Caused by Haste Mrs. Elizabeth Parmelay, wife of 68 | | MRS, J.
