Waterbury, April §.—Between 300 and 400 places openly sell liquor in this city, State's Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis, told the Rotary club here yesterday. Inefficiency of the police and the lack of public sentiment in support of the liquor-laws are blam- ed as the cause of this state of af- fairs. The state’s attorney described the method which he has been forced to adopt in combatting the illielt lignor traffic, that of reliance ot pald informere. This, he admits is not the best way of obtalning con- victions but it is the only way available, Attorney Lewis sald that only one private citizen had come to him with complaints about the flagrant eva- slon: of the liquor law, and that per- son was Rev.

Thursday FATHER ADMITS HILLING GHiLp Rogers, Waterbury Man, Then Attempts Suicide Schenectady, N, - Y., © April 8.— From a suffering man in the hos- pital here yesterday came a story of a husband, who, despondent over hjs young wife's death in child birth, had chloroformed his two weeks' old son and then had attempted suicide. The man was Thurlow H. Rogers of Waterbury, Conn. He was found unconsclous in a hotel here Satur- day noon, and until Monday night, when he came from the coma long enough to ask for food and to say he was “Rogers of Waterbury,” he had not been identified. Admits Slaying Child Yesterday his brother, W. E. Rog- ers of Troy, came to visit him and the brother, after a talk with the ring man, collapsed. U'pon being revived he said Thurlow Tlogers he admitted to him he had killed his baby son, Blanchard, and there- after, police sald, they drew from the sick man the curlous story of his doings in the past few days. MHe was being held at the hospital today under police, guard as a fugitive, with the charge of homicide against his name. Ham H. Funston and District At- torney Alexander T. Blessing, Rog- ers told substantially this story: Religion Enters In His wife had died March 1, leav- ing a sickly child, Blanchard. Rog- ers was despondent over his wife's death and said he found his trouble increased by, the desire of his wife's relatives to rear the child in t faith of the Roman Catholic church. He desired to have it reared as a Protestant. He had taken the child to rela- |tives in New Haven, Conn., and then one day to a park. There he poured chloroform on a handkerchief and placed child and handkerchief in a suitcase. The suitcase he checked A few days later he decided to ob tain the suitcase, but read in a news- | paper the child's body had been found. He then destroyed check, and after that, he said, didn't recall what had happened. Planned Suicide Rogers was found in his hotel room here Saturday noon uncon- sclous and with a halter about his neck and attached to the,bed post. On a table was a railroad time table he parting message written in pencil and indicating he planned to com- mit suicide. The writing said {had been “alone in his act,” | had “sent his baby to heaven,” and that his wife once had told him she would end her life if ever he died. During periods of rational action | vesterday police tried to draw from Rogers what he meant by saying he had “sent his baby to heaven,” but not until the brother arrived was the story learned. Previously Rogers had told police he had left the baby with a cousin In Britain. Has Chance For Life Physiclans said Rogers is suffer- | ing from acute- spinal heart trouble, brain inflammation L. G.
