CASALE SHIFTS T0 REPUBLICAN RANKS Lawyer Has Name Strick- en From Democratic Voting List Attorney 8..Gerard Casale has written Democratic Registrar Thom- as J. Bmith requesting that his name be stricken from the democratic list and entered upon the republican list, it became known today. Attorney Casale since coming here to practice has been a democrat. In 1922 while his application for admis- sion as a voter was pending, he was nominated by the democrats for the berth of alderman from the second ward and was defeated. In 1924 he was the democratic nominee for state senator and went down to de- feat with the ticket. Last year he was elected to the school committee and served one year, resigning last month with a statement that he did not care to continue longer on the board. During the second administration of Mayor Paonessa, he was appoint- ed & member of the board of chari- ties, serving for one year, after which he was transferred to the board of public works where he re- mained until the personnel of the hoard changed wtih the election of Gardner C. Weld as mayor. During the last repubilacn state convention, Atortney Casale was in the headquarters of Judge Francis A. Pallotti assisting in Pallotti's un- successful campaign for the nomina- tion as secretary of state. His letter to Registrar Smith fol- lows: (4 “T.

Ro- berts, 21, and Emily Hatch, 19, both ot Stamford. The crossing, which is protected by a gateman six days a week, is unprotect on Sunday. One machine had already stopped at the crossing to allow the express to get by when, it is alleged, Roberts drove to the side of the stopped car and proceeded across the tracks. Eye witnesses to the accident say | that he drove at approximately 30 miles an hour over the crossing when he was in the middle of it evi denjly saw the approaching train and tried to swerve his car to the side of the tracks. The train after crashing into the car, carried the wreckage a distance of over 150 feet down the tra When trainmen lifted the bodies of the couple out of the car it was apparent that they were dead, but they were rushed to the Norwalk hospital, where life was found to be extinct. DOG ATTACKS GIRL Fastens Teeth in Throat of Pauline Boncol, 9, of 114 Putnam Street, Inflicting Painful Wounds. Pauline Boncol, aged 9 years, of 114 Putnam street, was painfully bitten by a dog which leaped upon her and fastened jts teeth in her throat today, inflicting a laceration that necessitated four stitches to close, The dog is owned by John Lu- lewicz of 114 Putnam street. The child was attended by Dr. Stephen A. Donnelly, who said this afternoon, that the outcome of the bite is problematical. Supernumer- ary Officer Zocco reported the case to Captain Kelly, who notified Dog Warden Thomas Riley. A dog, frothing at the mouth and having the appearance of being mad, was reported on Corbin avenue at 10:50 this forenoon and Motorcycle Officer David Doty shot it. So far as was learned, the capine did not attack anyone Disorders Again Mark .

F. Richter, Veteran of Spanish-American War, Quickly Followed by Demise of His \Wife st Middictown Hospital, (pecial to the Herald) Plainville, Oct. 1—Fulfilling his own expreased prophecy that when he died he would “go up in smoke,” Gunther Frank Richter, 51 year old Spanish war veteran, was burned to death at his home on the Farm- ington road about 9 o'clock yester- day morning under circumstances which for a while led the authori- ties to belleve that he might have been murdered. Thia possibility was thought to have been eliminated to- day after an investigation by the state police. Dr. C. W. Moody, medi- cal examiner, formally pronounced death accidental and caused by burns. Following close upon the tragedy came word today from Mid- dletown that Richter's wife, Mrs. Emily Richter, died last night in that city. Dead on Smouldering Bed When death came to Richter he was lying on the bed in the small cottage which he has occupled by himself since state authorities di persed his family, The fire was discovered by Earl Osden, a boy living in a nearby house. He noti- fled George Lampson, a neighbor and close friend of Richter, and Lampson and another neighbor, Ray Clayton, rushed to the Richter cottage. Lampson entered and found |the place full of thick smoke. {Fumbling about in the murk, he | fell through a hole which had been | burned in the floor but was not badly injured. He continued his ef- forts and attempted to pull Richter {from the smouldering bed but soon realized that his friend was dead and then devoted his efforts to ex- tinguishing the flames. A group of neighbors accomplished this quickly, and the fire department, which was summoned unnecessarily, arrived ter the blaze had been put out. The property damage was only | about $50, but it is thought that Richter had $140 in ‘bills upon his person and that this was burned. May Have Set Own Funeral Pyre Richter had had a large amount of family trouble. His first wite had died and his second wife had been committed to the state hospital in Middletown, while several of his children were taken over by state authorities and committed to vari- ous institutions. He was said to be a heavy drinker, and to be given to smoking in bed, traits which ap- pear to have caused his death. A large jug of hard liguor was found | in the room by the bed, and it s thought that this may have spilled on the bed and led to the rapid spread of the flames. Mr. Lampson | sald today that Richter was care- | |less about tossing matches around, | and a thrown match which failed | to go out may have caused the blaze. No other creditable explana- | tion has been advanced. Gash Found in Head The discovery that there was a| severe gash in Richter's head fore- | €d the authoritics to take notice of | the possibility of death by violence, | Lut an investigation this morning by | State Policeman Michael Smith led to discountenancing this theory. The heat fused Richter's scalp onto | the bed, this invastigation disclosed, and the wound resulted when Mr, Lampson attempted to pull him off | the bed. The quick spread of the fire and the speed with which it | practically eremated Richters' body caused scme to think an inflam- mable liquid might have been spread over body and bed, but the belief now is that this spreading agent_was spilled alcohol. A short while ago Richter recciv- ed word from Middletown that his wife's condition was serious, and he had been brooding over this. He (7d Mr. Lampson last week that the lat- ter’s visit to the Richter home would probably bz his last, and again his strange foresight of his own death proved true. On Saturday night Richter entertained several out-of- (Continued on Page 12) POLICEMAN INJURED Hamden Bluccoat Drives Motor- cycle Onto Unprotected Crossing —Is Badly Hurt, New Haven, Oct. 1 (#—Sergeant Harry Barrows of the Hamden po- lice department was seriously in- jured last night when he drove his motorcycle into the path of & freight train at the Goodrich street crossing in Hamden. A temporary injunction obtained by the town of Hamden to restrain the New Ha- ven road from changing the cross- ing from one handled by a gate- man to automatic signal, is sup- posed to have been the reason for the accident. A short time ago the gateman at this point had been re- lieved and the automatic signal in- stalled. After the injunction had been granted the signal had not been operated. It is’ thought that Barrows failed to hear the oncom- ing train as there was no operated signal going and had attempted to cross the tracks. He is suffering from a fractured skull at the Grace hospital. The motorcycle was car- ried on the front of the train some distance down the tracks before Barrows was Hurled to the side of the tracks.

The fliers even had the wheels of the ship enclosed, In order to break the record, held by two Germans, they must stay in the air 66 hours. They have been flying now for two days and have entered their 53rd hour, BROCK AND SCHLEE UP FIFTY-TWO HOURS Stand Good Chance of Breaking Endurance Record for Flight San Diego, Cal,, Oct, 1 P—After two days and nights in the air, Ed- ward Brock and Willlam Schlee, were forging ahead toward a new endurance flight record in the Bel- lanca monoplane today. The aviators, who last year flew from Detroit to Tokyo, had been aloft 52 hours at 10:49 o'clock this morning and were still going strong with the prospect that they would be able to remain up until 1:15 a. m,, tomorrow to beat by one hour the present record of 65 hours, 25 min- utes, held in Germany. The monoplaune was being flown on & course between Coronado and the Mexican border at 7:30 a. m. Before the start early Saturday the airmen calculated that their gasoline supply of 650 gallons would keep them going 80 hours. Brock and Schlee took off at 6:49 a. m., Saturday in the effort to bet- ter the record of 65 hours, 25 min- utes, established by the German air- men Johann Ristice and Wilhelm Zimmerman last June. To gain offi- cial recognition the airmen must re- main aloft an hour longer than the record. Last night the fliers were chased inland by a sea fog which forced them down to 500 feet, where they kept under the fog. Good flying | weather was forecast for today, At the takeoff the plane carried 560 gallons of gasoline, 21 gallons of lubricating oil and a plentiful food supply. It was said to have been the heaviest Joad ever lifted by a single motored plane, the gross weight being 6,150 pounds, The takeoff, featured by the ne- cessity of keeping on an even keel with such a load, was described as a masterful piece of airmanship. The plane taxied down a specially constructed runway for seven- eighths of a mile, rose very slowly and flew straight out to sea, barely clearing the waves. To have banked and turned at that low altitude would have meant a dive into the occan. GUARD IS ATTACKED “Jce-Box” Prisoner Takes Swing at Officer in County Jail at Brooklyn Today Willimantic, Oct. 1 UP—Albert J. Raymond, one of the two prisoners convicted last week in the Windham county superior court here, for the murder of State Trooper Irving H. Nelson_on April 6 at Pomfret, early this morning attempted to assault John Bhea, one of the guards at the county jail at DBrooklyn. Shea brought Raymond from his cell in the upper tier to the washroom on the lower floor to wash. Raymond while washgng, dropped his towel and partly stooped to pick it up and suddenly made a swing at S8hea who was standing near him. Shea quick- | ly overpowered Raymond '"di brought him back to his cell. The | occurrence was not looked upon by | authorities as an attempt to escape as Raymond has cherished a grudge against his guards, particularly S8hea. There was no opportunity for Ray- mond to escape if he wanted fo for there were two scts of bars between him and freedom. Shea, whom Raymond attempted to assault is a large man weighing 225 and stands six feet while Ray- | mond weighs 125 and stands only | five feet six.

DBoth men were wearing soft hats when they visited the places. The two men were ‘spotted” as safe robbers when they visited the Pembroke laundry last Wednesday, introduced themselves to William H. Minty, president of the concern, as hotel men who were planning to open a new hotel on West Liberty street, and talked with Mr. Minty for about an hour, securing quota- tions from him on the laundry work which their hotel would have done each week. The laundry company manager and his secretary noticed that the men were observing the safe in the office as well as the doors and windows and reached the con- clusion that they were not hotel men were yeggmen. Police were {nformed of the visit without delay and a warning was sent out to laundry proprietors throughout the city to be on the watch for the men.

Seven Cars Derailed Seven cars left the tracks, block- ing four of the five lines just as heavy commuter traffic was due to start. No one was injured. One coal car was smashed and a box car damaged, Considerable damage was done to the timbers of a viaduct leading to anchor drawbridge. The train consisted of a locomo- tive and 58 cars. It was bound from Harlem river, N. Y., to Bos- ton. A broken coupling on one of the cars was thought to have caused the accident. The crippled car ca- reened off the rails, dragging six others with it. Five of the derail- ed cars were coal cars, two the box type. Had the accident occurred either on the nearby drawktridge or at the station, it might have been more serious, rallroad men belleved. Crews at Work ‘Wrecking crews from Harlem riv- er and New Haven were dispatched to the scene and began clearing the wreckage. Some traffic was seeping through on the single open line. Special trains were made jup here to carry commuters to New York and New Haven. The wreckers did not believe they could complete their work before afternoon. The smashed coal car had to be taken apart and removed plece by piece by means of a derrick. BERLIN HAS BIG VOTE FOR TOWN OFFICERS About 1,200 Ballots Cast— Many Split Their Choice All records went down today in Berlin when approximately 1,200 voted at the annual town election. Never in the history of the town was the vote so large and never in his- tory were there as many split votes. The polls closed at 2 o'clock but be- cause of the number of split ballots, few votes were counted by press time. Of 312 who voted in the first dis- trict, Berlin, 90 split their ballot. Most of the splits were for John P. | Lewis who is running independently ' following his defeat for the demo- cratic nomination for constable at | the democratic caucus, He will lose | many votes, however, because of the | fact that voters have signed his | name “J.

A change in the plans of the water board may result in an extension project amounting in cost to ap- proximately $1,700,000, getting un. der way this year, instead of a filtrs tion plant only as has been planned heretofore. The board has had under consid- eration a proposal that work be started on the filters for which an esiimate of $600,000 has been made, and bids were called for on this proposition, only to have all bids turned back without opening, when the common council demurred on a vote to issue bonds. Chairman James J. Watson is planning to confcr with Allan Hazen, of the firm of Hazen & Whipple, consultants who planned the entire project, this week, and it is his be- lief that a recommendation will ul- timately be made by which not only the filtration plant, but also the new pipe line to Hart's mills will be in- cluded in this year's work. 1t is planned to build the filter plant near Shuttle Meadow reservoir, the system to include fresh water basins and a slow sand filtration sys- tem. The proposed pipe line will be 18% miles in length. From Shuttle Meadow reservoir to White’s Bridge, the line will be 42 inches in depth, and from that point to Hart's mills, a 36 inch main will be used. Th will greatly increase the flow of water to the city, and the filter sys- tem will add quality to the increased quantity, It is the belief of Chairman Wat- son and Engincer Hazen that it is the practical thing to do to start both projects simultaneously.
