Plaintiff claims to have paid balance of the money and mortgage, and that defendant refused the tender; he claims $1,000 damages and that sale be consummated ing to agreement. There was a written agreement, but the sale was not effected on the day stipulated in the contract, the men meeting on Sunday, August 30, Mr. Deming endeavoring to give the mon- ey back to Mr. Burnham, the latter refusing to accept same. Attorney Arnold argued that as plaintiff tried to close the deal on Sunday,the con- tract was void and cited various cases of a similar nature, Attorney Me- lony contended that the deal was not made on a secular day @s the written 2greement showed, and that although the two men met by mutual aeree. ment on such a dav for convenience, the deal was actually effected when the written asréement was made, and the first installment of money was pald, which was not on Sunday.

Investigation by State Police—Valua- ble Evidence Secured—Burial of Body at West Woodstock. \j All the information which has come into possession of the state police aft- er a careful investigation of the death of Charles F. McComber of Woodstock will be turned over to Coromer A. G. Eill of Danieison, probably today (Sat- urday). There is reason to believe that the officers have learned many things that will be of great value in determining how the man came to his tragic end, Their investigation was completed Friday evening, when they returned to Putnam, wet, tired, and n;ud-bespattered, after a tedious day of driving over the rough roads around the location of the crime. It is known that they” have been able to trace McComber's movements | up to within an hour of his death and that they have the name of the man who Is known to have talked last with, McComber. They have been able to account for the manner in which McComber spent the last three days of his life, even to minute details— with whom he talked, what he talked about, and many other things have come to the knowledge of Officers Furley, Jackson and McCabe, who have investigated the .case. = They have interviewed many- persons all over the district in the west of Wood- stock and as far as Southbridge, Mass. where McComber was seen about two ‘weeks ago, Tt has been established that McCom- ber had not been drinking heavily for a considerable time before his death Many rumors are circulating to the ef. fect that McComber had really threat- ered to do away with himself, but none of them can be confirmed. These ru- mors have given rise to a suicide the- ory which even if it proved true will not clear up many pecullar things in connection with the finding of the for instance, the ahsence on mber's person of any implement h which he could have inflicted the gash in his throat or how he came to have a practically unsoiled cotton glove on his blood encrusted left hand, The report of the state officers is anx- fously awaited Funera) _service Comber Thursday were held for Me- the body was bur- | led in West Woodstock.

The unsolved mystery surrounding the death of Charles Capwell in Wood- stock, about a dozen years ago, is re. called by the McComber case, Cap- well, a young man, was found dead in the road with a terrible bruise across the forehead just over the eye. The bedy was found in the morning. He had left Southbridge the night be- | fore, driving a pair of horses attached to a heavy team. found a short distance from where the body lay in the middle of the road. Relatives attempted to secure an in- vestigation of the case, but none was ever made, Susplcion pointed to a ‘Woodstock man, but it was not based on sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest, Capwell may have been killed by falling from his team, .though many things led to the bellef that his death was_due to a blow with s heavy club in_the hands of an enemy. Miss S. Elizabeth Clarke has return. ed from a few days’ visit with Worces- ter friends. Lecture on Salvation Army Work. Lieut.-Col. E. J. Parker of the Sal- vation .

Ernest Handel, 15, of West Stafford, Protecting Mother, May Have Fa- tally Wounded CI Place, 20. (Special to The Bulletin.) Stafford Springs, April 30.—Ernest FHandel, the 15 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Handel, shot and_probably fatally wounded Charles Place, his half-brother, 20 years, at their home in West Stafford, about 7.30 this morn. ing. Place attempted to mal an in. decent assault on his mother, and the n:other called Ernest to her assistance. Place then turned his attention to Fronest, chased him out of the room, and picking up a knife from the table threatened to stab him. Ernest seized a shotgun which was in a corner and fired, the contents taking effect in the left side of his assailant’s head and face, The left car was torn off and his face was terribly lacerated. Place was taken to the Hartford hospital this afternoon and is in a critical condition, Ernest was placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff Helm and brought to Stafford Springs, and placed in the lockup. Unless there are further develop- ments, Ernest will be given a hearing | before Judge Heald in the borough court of Stafford Springs tomorrow morning, charged with assault with intent to kill, Governor Week: Acting Governor Weeks 1§ a success- ful business man of qulet tastes, but he has never held political office’ out- side of his own city and the politicians are in Igrorance as to his probable pol- icy, his ideas and his temperament. As'a worker and adviser in the repub- lican cause he has hitherto been class- ed as “regular,” showing few indica- tions of aggressiveness in action or re- sentment In wrong. Governor Weeks in a position of power and sworn re- sponsibility, however, may turn out to be an altogether different person from Mr. Weeks, the obedient soldier in the ranks. It is stated that he will follow out the policles of Governor Lilley, but whether he will endorse_ all his dead predecessor's intentions or whether he will press their causes with the mili- tant vigor which characterized their champion is yet to be determined. There will be opportunity for demon- stration soon when the acting govern- or makes known his attitude toward the public utilitles bill, a measure dean to Governor Lilley's heart, but already in extremis and intended for an imme- diate legislative funeral. His course in the appolntment of judges to the superfor court bench will also be watched with keen Interest. The act- ing governor's position in the matter of these appointments Is one of dell- cacy. The legislative session is by no means ended vet. There is much which may be accomplished by a man of force determination and discretion.— Waterbury American. PERSUNS TALKED ABOUT.
