Sin Faces Another Third Degree. The next move, one which has been OLD LYME-OLD SAYBROOK BRIDGE PROPOSITION. Little Question of the Passage of the Bill. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, June 24.—Senator Day and Captain Hamilton bave been putting in some heavy licks on the Old Lyme-Old Saybrook bridge proposition during the day today and the result is that at the close of the senate session they had the satisfaction of seeing the bill pro- viding for this bridge pass the senate, and the future, which had looked very black when they came to Hartford this morning, looked a lot brighter. The appropriations committee decided in executive session the first of this week to report this matter unfavorably on the ground that the state was 80 put t0 it to obtain money for the necessary appropriations which must be made at this session as to be unable to find the money for this project. The two gentiemen mentioned _got busy when they learned this and Sen- ator Day disregarded a very important engagement for this afternoon to come to Hartford on the matter, though he was able to get away from the capitol in time to keep it finaily. ‘1ne plan was to table the matter when the un- favorable report was made this morn- ing, but there was so much support for the proposition that this was found not to be necessary. The committee on roads, rivers and bridges reported this bill favorably before it was sent to the committee on appropriations and was very anxious to se- it pass. When it was brought up m the senate today by Senator Blakeslee, chairman of the appropriations committee, he made the unfavorable report, though he regretted to do this because he was on the commission which went into this matter between sessions and reported in favor of a bridge and is personally very anxious that there should be a bridge built there. The senate accepted the unfavorable report as a courtexy to the appropri- jons committee on a division of the question, but did mot reject the bill, and Sénator Alsop, chalrman of the committee on roads, bridges and ri ers, then put in a sbstitute bill which called for the comstruction of this bridge at a cost not to exceed a half million dollars and provided for a bond issue of 3$500,000 for the financing of the project. Under the terms of his bill the bridge is to be a toll bridge for twenty years and any trolley com- pany which may at any time use it would pay a tax to the state. Senator Blakeslee arose to. very frankly favor this bill, stating that he believed the time had come when such a bridge was a necessity and would prove a decided economy to the state and the towns. Senator Manwaring suggested that it might be that more than one trolley company would want to use the bridge and asked if it might not be & good plan for the state to construct trolley tracks across the bridge when it is built and thus own the tracks and lease the use of them to trolley companies which might de- sire it. “This was held to be a good suggestion and the favor with which the senate received it led to the tabling of the measure until Senator Manwar- ing could draft an amendment which would provide for this. When he had done tiis he called the bill from the table and offered his amendment, which provides that the construction of these trolley tracks shall be a part of the construction of the bridge and the state shall there- after lease the use of them at a rea- sonable annual rental. The senate passed his amendment without further ado and then passed the bill. There is little question of the pas- sage of this measure in its present form in the house, where the Middle- sex county members have considerable strength, and by that county and New London county standing together there will be presenite da front which should ensure the passage of the bill. It is figured that the proceeds from a toll bridge would grow so much larger than those from the present Old Lyme-Old Saybrook ferry, which last year took in some $7,000, that there will be nmo question of the ability of the bridge to pay the interest on these bonds, and in addition establish a sinking fund which will go far toward finally paying off the bonds; if, indeed, it doesn’t do this entirely, as the members from that section believe it will.

St. Michaels, Md., June 25—The story of a crime unparalleled in- this section of the country—a story which promises to contribute volumes to the great newspaper library of criminal cases—was probably brought to an end In the second chapter today, when a man accused of the murder 'of pretty May Edith Thompson Woodill stood for moment in a boat facing the men who had cornered him on the waters of a narrow creek and then fire¢ a bullet into his heart, falling lifeless to the bottom of the skiff in which he had sought to escape.

Mabel Sigel has al- ready denied this story, which had had turned up at headquarters from other sources previously. After her dis- cusslon with Captain Carey, the wom- an said that he had told her that the police do not believe the murder was premeditated. It suits better Leon Ling's character and his known in- fatuation, to argue that he decoyed tha girl to his rooms, which have never been definitely learned, and that once he had her there he spoke to her in a way that provoked her indignation and confirmed her determination to have nothing to do with him. Repulsed by the family and jilted by the girl, the police, according to this version, be- lleve that Leon killed her while in & rage. Ling Drops from Sight. But even if the police should wrest the full details from Chung Sin, even it they should be able to hold him an accessory, it would bring them n, nearer the man who is still believed to be the principal, and of him tonight there seems to be less trace than ever. Chu Gain Not Allowed to Leave City. Chu Gain, Ling’s rival, appiied to the district attorney's office this morning for permission to leave town, but though he has offered to increase his bail from the present $1,000 to $5.000, his request was refused. His lawyer is confident that he can in no way be implieated, and the police said unoffi cially tonight that they had no further desire to hold him and did not care whether the district attorney’s office released him or not. Mother Threw Herself and Child from Five Story Reof. New York, June 25.—Driven tempo- rarily_insane by the excessive heat Mrs. Emme Monthy tonight threw her- self and her § yvear old daughter from the roof of a flve story apartment house in Quincy street, in an exclusive section of Brooklyn. 'Both were in- stantly killed. Mrs. Monthy’s husband is employed as superintendent of the apartment house and the family oc- cupled rooms in the basement. Mother and daughter went to the roof early in the evening in search of relief from the oppressive heat. They had been there only a few moments when ths woman went to the edge of the roof and, picking up the child, leaped over the low cornice to the asphalt below. Hundreds of passersby and residents in the vicinity witnessed the tragedy. Mrs. Monthy was 30 ‘years old. 100 Prostrations in New England. Boston, June 24—The great heat wave which hung over the east since the first of the week was more oppres- sive today than at any time during the present period of high tempera- tures. In New England a dozen deaths and upwards of 100 prostrations during the day and evening are chargeable to the hot blast. In Boston there were two deaths and fifty prostrations from early morning until a late hour to- night. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the government instrument on top of the high Federal buildinf, recorded a tem* perature of 94. The mercury did not get below 90_until after § p. m. The heat wave has caused intense suffer- ing in th eenement districts of Bos- ton and New England mill cities,where crowded quarters and narro wstreets were practically uninhabitable. Hanged Himself With His Suspenders. New Britain, June George A. Shenshau, 35 years old, committed sui- cide tonight by hanging himself with his suependers in a cell at police headquarters. Shenshau, who is a res- ident of this place, became suddenly deranged yesterday, and was taken in charge by the police. He leaves & wife and child, t Los Angeles—a beautiful, talented girl who had Been a protege of Lyman J. Gage and of former Gov. Frank Brown of this state. But by taking his fate into his own hands the man known here as Emmet E. Roberts, but who in reality was Robert Iimmet Fastman, a failed member of the Consolidated ex- change of New York, and who was ac- cused of the murder, passed beyond the reach of the law, and with his going there vanished the hope of clearing up the motive and details of the crime. Letter Found on Suicide’s Body. A letter found upon Eastman’s body addressed to Miss Vinnie Bradcome, care of Klaw & Erlanger .the theatrical managers In New York, gave East- man's poorly substantiated denial of the crime. It was a rambling account of how he had been out in a launch with a party of men and women, all of whom had been drinking to excess with the exception of himself and Mrs. Woodill; how one of the few women in a fit of jealous frenzy had attached Mrs. Woodill with a wine bottle and killed her: how the remainder of the party had taken flight, leaving him to dispose of the body, and how as a means of escape from all of his troubles the writer had decided to end his life. Authorities Scout Lettcr's Contents. The authorities have cast aside this theory of tue death of the girl. The first ‘word received from Miss Brad- come today conveyed the somewhat baffling information that she knew nothing of a Mr. Roberts of Eastman, The coroner wired Miss Bradeome to come and tae possession of the body, however, and received a reply from her saying she could not because of lack of funds. He has now wired her to draw on him for $50 and is now awalting developments. either the known movements of Eastman and Mrs. Woodill, nor any of the circumstances, tend to bear out Eastman's explanation in the letter which he left when he committed sui- cide. According to the authorities, Eastman, in whose company she last was seen alive, was responsible for the death of Mrs. Woodill. Many Motives for the Crime Advanced As for motives, many have been ad- vanced. That Eastman was infatuated with the was well known. She, in turn, it would seem, was fascinated by him ‘and possibly frightened by his at tentions. In a note addressed to “Dear Wobby,” dcclining to see him at the particular time. but not fishing to anger him, she =aid: “It is only an in- termittent delirium. anyhow, and y had better go and ‘wash your dishes. Two Strange Careers Ended. The meeting of Eastman and Mrs Woodill, whenever and wherever it oc curred, brought together two oddly suited figures, and the tragedy brought to an end two strange careers. Mrs. Woodjll, though twice married, was but a girl, vivacious and petite, weigh- ing only about 100 pounds. Where the girl sprang from, who her father was, and what should have been her proper station in life are clothed with much of the same mysters which surround- ed the details of her death. Attractive, Talented, Winning Girl. A talented, attractive, winning” girl, she was sought by many, and it was not strange that she shouid have mar- ried in New York a Dr. Caswell or ‘rowell, believed to be from Bostor, before becoming of a The nfar- riage was annulled and, as Miss Thompson again, the girl was engaged to Harry Adams of Mount Vernon, N. Y. Meeting Mr. Woodill about this time, she married him instead. Fastman, according to the informa- tion received here, failed in New York last year, was arrested twice in Chi- cago last ‘August for grand larceny, and since that time has been a fugitive from_justice. “Wall street never witnessed a more complete ruin than it” Eastman is quoted as sayinz in New York.

SHOT HIS BROTHER. AND BURIED HIM ALIVE. Twelve Lear Old California Boy Con- fessed the Crime. Modesto, Cal., June 25.—Cecil Hop- kins, 12 years old, today confessed that he shot and buried his brother, heodore, six vears old, and his statements strengthens the coroner's belief that the victim was burled alive on the hill where his body was found yesterday. As he told of*the shooting and subsequent burial of his brother, Cecil ate candy and apparently failed to realize the gravity of the act. Ac- cording to his story Cecil killed Theo- dore while the parents were absent from home, after the boys had quar- reled over their luncheon.|Cecil sald he drove his brother from the house and shot him. Fearing the consequences of his deed when the parents when return, he dug a grave in the sand. Waile dig- ging the grave for the hoy, Cecil =aid, Theodore ‘moaned and stretched his arms. The cramped posiiion of the arms, the nature of the wound, and the fact that the child’s mouth was filled with sand, added to the belief that the boy was buried alive. career, however, was to know a more sinister ending. Eastman's identity was establishe through a letter found in his pocket conveying certain property in Bogota, Bergen county, New Jersey, which he is known to have held. The Most Pitiable Figure in All the Story. One of the most pitiable figures in all of the lamentable trageay is old Charles Thompson of McDaniel, the foster father of the murdered girl. Sit- ting on the. porch of his home, over- looking the waters of Hgrris = creek, where Eastman had ended his life early today, the broken old man told the story of the girl's life. He had fol- lowed the girl's body to its last resting place yesterday beside the graves of his wifc and sen. The girl had neen devotdd to fier foster mother and if she could have chosen her burying place it undoubtedly would have peen at the side of this dear friend. To the foster brother, lving in the grave next to hers, the girl had been the ideal of all that was sweet and pure, The splendig young fellow had grown up with her and learned to love her and it is said that he desired her to pe- come his wife. She would not. He killeg himself. “This is the crowning sorrow of my life,” sald Colonel Thompson today “T have experienced many sorrows, I have had many heart-wrecking blows, but this js the hardest of ali to bear. The old@ man went on to tell much of the story of his own life and that of the girl. He was born 70 years ago In Connecticut and came to the eastern shore of Marylang sixteen years ago. The litfle girl who bacame his daughter was but three years old when +he was found by Mrs. Thompsen, who at the time a charity worker in inneapolis, Minn. The tot was in (he tody of a street car driver who was villing to surrender her to any one who would offer a better home than he afforded. “The chiid_did not belong man,” said Colonel Tk not know who her parents w we decided to take the chiid had an angelic disposition and we soon became as deeply attached to her as if she had been our own fle: nd lood. As she grew older the girl de- veloped the most irable traits of character. She was a great favorite and all who came within her influcide were attracted to her.

GOULD With an Alimony of $36,000 a Year—Complete Victory Lxcept in Amount of Alimony—Thirty Days’ Stay of Judgment Granted—Mrs. Gould Going to Virginia for a Long Rest—Thanks All Helpers. New York, June 25.—Katherine (‘lem- ons Gould obtained a legal separation with allmony from her husband, How - ard Gould, third son of the late Jay Gould, by a decision of Justice Dowling in the' supreme court today after a trial | which had lasted nearly three, weeks. | With the exception of alimony, her | vjctory was complete,but In this phase the case the court decided that $36,- 000 a year was suffiefent, though in her suft Mre. Gould asked for $250.000. She has been receiving $26,000 & vear from Mr. Gould, so that the amount fixed by the court is but a slight Increase over which he had volnntarily milowed her, and is but a small fraction of the| amount named in her suit. Where Mrs. Gould Scored Strongly. It was In vindication of charges of intoxication and her relations with Dustin Farnum, the actor, that Mrs. Gould wcored most strongly, for not- withstanding the long array of wit- nesses for Mr. Gould who gave such testimony as to make Mrs. Gould ap- pear at times as defendant, rather than piaintiff, the court held that the alléged “intoxication” may have been due to excitement. As to Dustin Far- num, it was held that her association with bim came after Mr. and Mrs. Gould separated, and that the husband apparently made no objection. Thirty Days’ Stay of Judgment. | Immediately after the decision, De- lancey Nicol, for Mr. Gould, asked for & sixty days’ stay of judgment, and C. . Shearn, for the plaintiff, was on his feet to object. He asked for an jm- mediate judgment, Justice Dowling compromised by meking the stay thir- ty days. Mr. Ehearn then asked for an extra allowance for counsel fees, and the court gave him $2,000. This, togthier with the $10,000 allowed re- cently and the original ailowance of 36,000, will bring his fees to $17,000, with an additional $2,900 for expenses. Mr. Shearn said that either party in the suit could still bring action for ab- solute divorce, but t Mr. Gould could not base such an action on the charges involved(in the suit just de= cided. Mrs. Gould's dowry righi In Howard Gould's real property amounts to $3.000,000, he said, and was unaf- fected by the separation. His client, he continued, was going to Virginia for a long rest. Statement by Mrs. Gould. Mrs. Gould issued the following states ment’: “I am the happlest woman living to= night because I have been so com - ly virdicated before the entire world of all these horrible charges. little pang shot through my heart at the smallness of the allowance—only supreme joy and the pest gratitude. 1 send a thousand loving thanks to all who have helped me.
