Peckham Friday morning the case of the state vs. Elruer Chapman was continued, and the cross-examination of Miss Lura Main was finished. Others who testi- fled for the state were James Cahoon, Herman C, Main, Mrs. Mary E. Knowles and 4. E. Draper, For the defense there were called Isaac Willlams, Charles W. Hewitt, Horace H. Main and W. 1. Slocum. The latter testified to paying Chapman $15 about the time of the alleged theft, and Mrs. Knowles sald Chapman gave her $10 to keep for him about August 23. Ira Main gave him a good name. In his own behalf, Chapman denied the theft absolutely. He told of work- ing for Miss Main at different times for years, and made his home there when not working elsewhere. Arguments were made by Attorneys Burrows, Douglass and Huli, after which Judge Wheeler charged the jury and they retired at 4 o'clock. Chapman Found Not Guilty. At 4.45 the jury returned and through Foreman Griswold Morgan gave a ver- dict of not gullty. “I thank the jury,” remarked Chapman, with a broad smile, and immediately left the court room, accompanied by his friends and attorney, the former rushing to him and slapping him on the back. Two Jurors Selected. After the jury retired to consider the Chapman case the selection of a jury for the trial of John Bogardus for first Cegree murder was commenced, John Bogardus, the former soldier, charged with the murder of Dyer Copeland ir the latter's barr in New Lovdon Sept. 7 last, and William Kiley, the New London young man charged with being an accéssory, were brought here Friday morning from the New London jail by Sheriff Sidney A. Brown and were in the prisoners’ pen in_the court room. Bogardus and Kiley, looking better it anything than they did when they were sent to the jail last fall, chatted freely and laughed as though going t. a church picnic instead of to court to face a murder charge. Prosecuting Attorney Charles B Whittlesey of the New London police court, who acted in these cases in the lower court, was on hand to assist State's Attorney Hull and Attorney Clayton B. Smith, and Attorney J. C. Geary, who are to defend Bogardus, and Attorney R. P. Freeman, who ap- pears for Kiley, were in court. William R, ' Palmer of Griswold, farmer and school teacher. He knew nothing about the killing of Dyer Copeland. He is not opposed to capi- tal punishment and has no particular ideas regarding circumstantial evi- dence and never served in a murder trial. He was excused by the state. Ralph H, Fillmore, a resident here forty to fifty years, a former police- man and blacksmith. He is not op- rosed to capital punishment or circum- stantial evidence if strong enough. He is 81, with good hearine. He never served on _a murder trial and is not opposed. He was excused by the de- fense. Godfrey Gelisthardt s very hard of hearing and was excused by the court. First Juror. Samuel S. Palmer of Griswold knew nothing of the Copeland murder. He has no conscientious scruples against capital punishment or sufficient cir- cumstantial evidence. He doesn't be- lieve in liquor and more pity than prejudice. He served state vs. Donovan, wh Bell was killed in New_ London, was accepted for juror No. 1. in the murder case of n a man named He SOLITUDE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Former Editor of Bulletin Writes on His Visit to Norwich. Bdward J. Bdwards, at one time ed- itor of The Bulietin, had a page aru- cle in last Sunday's Times regarding the solitude of Aoraham Lincoin. Re: ferring to his trip into Connecticut during his campaign, the article reads: t the Norwlich meeting Lincoln and nor Buckingham met for the first They were to meet many times during Lincoln’s pre and were to establish intimate relations, for Buckingham was known as one of the great war governors. At the first in- stant of the meeting between Lincoln and Governor Buckingham the gover- nor could not escape some sense of disappointment, wondering if it were true that this ‘was the man who haa overthrown “The Little Giant” in tne terrific verbal combat in Illinois, the man who had delivered the widely- famed “House Divided Against Itseit" speech and the man who had gained the amazing triumph on the Cooper Union platform. | Lincoln greeted the governor in a whimsical, homespun way, so that the governor was momentarily distressed, Gov time. ar but later, when listening to Lincoln, Governor Buckingham found himself thinking “What manner of man is this | who speaks? Is this the man whom I| saw this afternoon? It Is he, yet an- | other and a wonderful man, such as I | never before saw or heard” That was | what Governor Buckingham said some vears later was impressed upon him as he listened to Lincoln. And so pro- feund was the impression made by Lincoln upon the audience that when | he closed and turned to quit the plat- form no man moved, none cheered, n T was there any applause by hand-clap- ping or stamping of the feet. It was the perfect tribute of silence. The | recognition of intellectual supremacy and moral _sublimity is best acknow edged in that way. But when ap plause @id begin it was overwhelming. CELEBRATED FORTY-FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Mr. and Mrs. Louis H. Saxton Sur- prised by Many Friends. A surprise party Friday evening up- on Mr. and Mrs. Louis H. Saxton by a party of twenty friends celebrated in fitting style the 41st anniversary of their wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Saxton were found quite unsuspecting when | the party arrived shortly after eight | at their home at Wightman's switch, Norwich Town.

There were musical selections by Miss Harriet Smith, piano, Ernest Cherry, violin, George W. Teffeau, cornet,’ and readings by Mrs. Teffeau and Miss Smith, which were greatly enjoyed, The dining room was prettily decor- ated in pink and white, smilax and carnations, and ice cream and wed- ding cake were served, Buit for $20,000. Miss Fannie Rachelson of New York ‘has_brought suit against Louis Flgart for $20.000 damage for breach of prom- ise. “The Hefendant is a resident of Colchester., The return of $500 which was_given the defendant at the time of the engagement by the girl's broth- er4n-law is also demanded. on Eail---iiattie 1hayer Leaves New London. |the state. |of St. Patrick’s parish was given on y Malady Released from Ja.l farmer, remembered of case in The Courier. scientious scruples against capital punishment or circumstantial evidence if it removes all reasonable doubt.

About midnight Thursday night Viney Malady, as spelled in the bench warrant, but recorded when testifying as Meleaney, was liberated from jail, the required bail having been furnished by Joseph Swartzburg, Jr. Mr. Swartz- burg and Clerk G. E. Parsons went to | the jail at that time, and the woman | was ‘allowed to go, and left for Durkee | lane in a much happler frame of mind than when she left there in the after- noon. The bond is $1,500. It is stated a former New London man had a bank- bouk and was looking for some one to £o surety for the woman during Thurs- day evening, but was unsuccessful. Hattie Thayer Departs. ‘The sentence given Addie Burns and the subsequent arrest of Viney has caused a little anxiety among the keep- ers of ill-repute houses, it is stated, and this is the fact in New London in particular. It was reported on Friday thaz Hattie Thayer, a keeper of a house in New London, and one of the wit- nesses In the Burns case, recently tried here, had packed her trunk and left for parts unknown. Her place is not to be shut up, it is understood, but she has shaken the dust of New London from her feet and will seek other climes.

BROWN DOES NOT WANT APPOINTMENT.

Six men made a try at the first show and two later on. The first set to make the attempt were Zimmond Oloft, Patrick Cox, John Bolan, Charles Mar- tin, Michael J. Kelly and Sam Austin. Most of them took their cue from the professor and tried to tip the sack over onto their back as they lay on the floor. Mr. Kelly displayed a new move by bringing a chair into the game, get- ting the sack into the seat of the chair and from there trying to get it on his back, but without succes: In some cases one of the Apollo boys put the sack on top of a man on_ the floor, which invarlably pinned the victim tast and immovable. At the second performance Dan Marra, the baseball pitcher, and William Nolan tried to Hf* off the sack, but without success. Marra smashed a chair into kindling wood in his efforts and Nolan was nailed to_the floor when Apollo put the sack on his back. Any aspiring lifters are to be given anotaer chance tonight. TAFTVILLE.
