BRIEF T UTE TO MAJOR B. P. LEARNED. Last, But One, of the Comrades Known Well Here by Capt. H. P. Goddard. Captain H. P| Goddard of Baltimore, formerly of this city, writes The Bul- letin as follows: The news of the death of my old fellow-townsman, Major Bela P. Learn- ed, brings home to me the fact that of my oli fellow-soldiers of Norwich in the War of the Rebellion but very few are still living. Of those known well, at the moment I recall only “Billy” Caruthers, your esteemed postmaster, though of course there may be others, but in the forty- five years that have passed since the close of the war the death roll has lengthened, sadly, but surely. To re. call the names alone is too heart- breaking a task, and I confine myself to a brief tribute to Major Learned, who was not only an excellent soldier, but ever and always a gentleman who was an honor to his city, his state and his church. His musical taste was choice and his singing in and manage- ment of that famous old choir of the Second Congregational church of Nor- wich, of which his wife was the superb SE=euo vy the delight of my younger s. As an amateur actor in those days Major Learned was very successful, and I never can forget that wonderful 1y good amateur performance of Sheri- dan’s “Rivals,” in 1867, when he played Jack Absolute to a cast as follow: Sir Anthony Absolute, James B. Learned; Jack Absolute, Major B. P. Learned: Sir Lucius O'Trigger, Jona- than Trumbull; Falkland, H. P. God- dard; Bob Acres, Edwin B. Trumbul David, Roswell Parish; Mrs. Malaprop, Mrs. Gardiner Greene; Lydia Languish, Miss Jenny McNulty; Julia, Miss Alice Thomas: Lucy, Miss Annie Bulkeley. Of these, but five now survive, name- 1y, Rosweil Parish and his wife (nee Miss McNulty), Mrs. Edward Johnson (nee Miss Thomas), Jonathan Trum- bull and myself. Since that time I have seen many productions of “The Rivals,” includ- ing that of Joseph Jefferson with his famous all star cast, “with Sheridan twenty miles away,” but none which interested me as much as that delight- ful representation in Mrs. Gardiner Greene's parlor, at Norwich, forty- three vears ag ALLEN-BEEMAN COMPANY HAS ANNUAL MEETING. Reports Showed a Good Year With In- creased Business—Officers Elected and Dividends Declared. The annual meeting of the stock- Bolders of The Allen-Beeman company was held at their office, on Commerce street, Monday evening at 8 o'clock, President A. B, Beeman in the chair. The following directors were elected for the ensuing year: A. B. Beeman, A. A. Beeman, George A. Alien and J. Al Allen The treasurer reported a good year's business, with a substantial gain in sales over the previous year. After inspection of the storage plant by the stockholders present the meet- ing adjourned. A meeting of the directors followed and the following officers were elected for the coming year: A. B. Beeman, president; A. A. Beeman, secretary; J. A, Allen, assistant treasurer and man- ager New London county, and George A_ Allen, treasurer and general man- ager. It was voted by the directors to pay the April dividend of 31-2 per cent, on the preferred stock: also, the Ottober dividend of the same amount. It was also voted to pay a dividend on the common stock, and a good amount carried to surplus account. Tweive New Members. The regular monthly meeting of the Garibaldi soclety was held on Sunday with President Bruno Pedace in the chair. Twelve new members were ad— mitted into the society and this en- couraging Increase will probably be supplemented by six or seven more at the next meeting. The society is plan- ning for a special observance of Me- morial aay. Baked-Bean Supper. A ‘baked-bean supper was given on Wednesday evening at the Bucking- ham Memorial the Ladies’ society of the Universalist church, and was largely attended.

Unlooked for developments took place in the Lieberman abortion case on ‘Wednesday, when Dr. Samuel P. Ladd of Moosup committed suicide by drink- ing hydro cyanic acid as he was being arrested by Deputy Sheriff Bliven at gy e B e of w! located, had been notified several days @go of the cause of the death of Carrie Lieberman of New London, they had not acted, although the arrest of Dr. Ladd was daily expected. He had learned fim'mfh the papers of the state of affairs, 3 it is t that he had carefully planned to end his life when his arrest was attempted. In this he Was successful, and twenty minutes after Deputy Sheriff Bliven of Wind- ham county informed him that he was wanted he was dead and beyond the arm of the law. Soon after this Harry Chippendale was placed unaer arrest in New London and taken to Putnam, before the criminal superior court, om a bench warrant, where he was - €d with manslaughter for complicity in the criminal operation. and is now in EBrooklyn jail under $500 bonds, Shediff ‘Sibley, in speaking of the case, said State’s Attorney Searls of Windham county hed tired of the de- lay in the making of the arrests, and. on obtaining a copy of the confession of Chippendale and the ante-mortem statement of Carrie Lieberman, had asked for a bench warrant, which Judge Gager, sitting iIn the superior court at Putnam, issued, one each for Dr. Ladd and Chippendale. The sheriff went to New London and secured Chippendale,while Deputy Sheriff Bliv- en was sent to Moosup for Dr. Ladd. Doctor Ready to Go. Deputy Sheriff Bliven of Central Vil- lage said that about 11 o'clock Wed- nesday morning he drove up to Dr. Samuel P. Ladd’s place in Moosup. The doctor was looking out of the window. ‘When the latter recognized the deputy sheriff, he arose from the window, and Deputy Bliven entered, telling the doctor what he had come for. Dr. Ladd replied by saying that he had read an account in the paper of the case that morning and that he was ready to go. He requested the sheriff, however, to wait a few minutes to let him catch his breath. Gasped and Fell. Heé had no more than said these words when he gasped and fell to the floor. Hurry messages were sent for Drs. Allen, Adams and Downing, but @ll _their efforts were unavailing, Dr. Tadd passing away probably not more than twenty minutes after taking the poison that caused his death. It is believed that he swallowed the hydro cyanic acid that caused his death when Do s e sherift approaching the use. 4 Dr. W. W. Adams, medical examiner, went to the house after Dr. Ladd had dled, and gave poisoning as the cause of death. The hydro cyanie, or prussic acid, ag it is commonly known, was in liquid form and taken from a graduate glass, which wags later found empty on a ta- ble. The acld kills within a time va- rying from one to forty minutes. Dr. Ladd was a graduate of the Har- vard Medical school, and was 62 years of age. He has lived at Moosup and practiced medicHie there since 1834, He is survived by his wife and a son, who lives out of town. Chippendale Rearrested. Deputy Sheriff Bliven informed Sherift Sibley at New London of Dr. Ladd’s death and as scon as possible the sherift left there with Chippen- dale, who had been rearrested, for Putiiam, where they arrived at 6 o'clock. He was presented before Judge Gager in the superior court, the adjournment of the March term hav- ing been delayed, to answer to the charge of manskughter as noted In the bench warrant issued for hin ear- lier in the day. State's Attorney Searls was on hand and formally stated to the court the nature of the business on hand. Statement by Prisoner. Before the charge could be read and the prisoner put to plea, Chippendale arose and asked permission to make a statement. At this time he was calm and businesslike in his manner and im- mediately started to address the court. He stated that he was told last Sun- day night by the coroner in New Lon- don_that he would not be criminally implicated in the case and that he was to be used only as a whness for the state. [He disclaimed all responsibility for Miss Lieberman’s condition and said that he had been drawn into the case through sympathy and charitable feeling towards the young woman, to whom he had become greatly attached. Had Helped State Because of Promise. Continuing, Chippendale told Judge Gager that if it had not been for him the state would not be in possession of much_of the evidence that it has ob- tained. Chippendale quoted the cor- oner at New London as saying that M (Chippendale) would not be criminally implicated and pledged it to him on him honor. The court then reminded Chippendale that his interests would be looked out for by his counsel when the matter came up for @ hearing. Tears came to_the prisoners eves at this point and in concluding he requested Judge Gager to malke the bond as small as possible and the court fixed $500 as the amount. No Plea Made Yet. Chippendale believed that he would be able to get this today, but in de- fanlt of this security he was taken to Brooklyn jail Wednesday night. He has not yet made a plea to the charge against him. Well Known in This End of the State Chippendale is a stockily built fel- low, about 5 fect 7 inches in helght, weighs about 165 pounds, of light com plexion and is about 3§ or 37 years of age. He makes a fine appearance, and is_always well dressed, has a good education and of an engaging personality. . He was first known in this part of the state in Danielson, eight or nine years ago, where he was a drug clerk. During his residence there he mar- ried a Danidlson young woman. Aft- er leaving Danielson they lived in Norwich and later in New London Chippendale gaining notoriety in both cities through his connection with va- rious irregular transactions. Met Her at The Miss Lieberman’s death occurred on Sunday night at the Memorial hos- pital in New London, and before her death she made a full statement. Chip- pendale is not charged with being re- sponsible for the girl's condition lead- ing up to_the operation. In speaking of the affair Chippen- dale says he came to know Miss Lie- berman about three months ago. At that time she was selling tickets at one of the theaters in New London, and from the first he was attracted by her. He made a practice of at- tending the theater regularly, event- ually came to know her and finally became very friendly with her. Their friendship was only a short time de- veloping to that stage where confl- dences were mutually ewxchanged and it was then Chippendale claimed, he Gime to Xnow of her unfortupate con jon.

Mentioned Several Doctors. Chippendale sald that he had be- come greatly attached to the girl and finally mentioned to her that Dr. Ladd of Moosup might do something for her. Chippendale says that the names of other physicians resident in New Lon- don county were also suggested. He says, that three weeks ago Sunday while he was caring for business interests in New Loudon, Miss Lieberman tellephoned to him from Norwich, where she had beeu for several hours and asked him to come up here to aid her. Went With Her to Moosup. Chippendale came to Norwich and from here accompanfed her to Moosup. Heo says she was in the doctor’s offics not over three minutes, and that he does not belleve a criminal operation gould nave been performed in that e. L"Sl;lnpmgh Jn his story, back to New ndon, ppendale told of how gen- erously’ he had helped toward Miss Lieberman’s happiness during her ill- mess of the three weeks succeeding her death, by giving her candy, fru't, flowers and _wine, and other such things as would make it easier for her to bear her trouble. .Another One Responsible. All this time Chippendale claims that he acted only through sympatiy for the unfortunate girl. He says that she confided to him that the man who> really was fesponsible for her cond! tion took her to a Norwich hotel about Christmas time. Chippendale says that he did not come to know her until January, and always regarded her a: a very nice young woman. He shed a few more tears when he told of his last call upon the young woman last Saturday night, when she was not apparently in a eritical con- dition, and how terribly surprised aad shaken he was when he heard of her death on Sunday. Chippendale told his sto: without knowledge of the death of Dr. Ladd, this having been kept from him ad- visedly. Girl's Ante-Mortem Statement. At New London on Wednesday even- ing Dr. H. M. Lee, to whom Miss Lieb- erman made her ante-mortem state- men,t gave out the fact that in that statement she said that Harry Chip- pendale was the one responsible for her condition. The act took place in January, and not in a Norwioh hotel, as Chippendale in his story claims, but just outside of New London on the Norwich turnpike. The operation was performed March 13, 1910, at Moosup, but she was unable to give the doc- tor's name. She declared, however, that when they were looking about for some one to perform the operation they came to this city and went to the house of a Mrs, . but she was not at home. They then went to Moosup, where the operation was per- formed. The claim made by Chippendale, that there were other doctors in the county communicated with, is not substantiat- ed by the girl's statement, as no other doctors are mentioned, said Dr. Les, and the girl dld not mention any other man in the case except chlppem{ue.

Notice Sent All Contractord Having Unfinished Work. Hij y Commissfoner J. H., Mac~ donald has sent the following notice to the contractors about the state who have unfinished contract; It is my purpose to open &l road work in the state on April 15. This date is set so as to have umiormity, but it will be subject to chlh‘..?' 4 der of selectmen, owing to the fact that the different climatic conditions exiat- ing in the eeveral towns of the state make it impossible to set an earlier /date or one that shall be arbitrary to govern the action of all towns, ‘While this authorization is sent out to the contractors In order that they may commence work on April 15, un- less otherwise ordered bv the select- men, it is hereby enjoined upon ail contractors that it is not the desire of the state to put any stone on the roads where m_construction is use until the weather has settled definitely, owing to the fact that the sub grade is very apt to have molisture expressed through the use of the roller. Another reason, which must be patent to every one famillar with macadam construc— tion, is that at this season of the year the 'heat of the sun—one of the most efficient and ective assistants in bullding a waterbound road—is want- ing, so that It is not deemed wise to commence putting on stone until the weather is definitely and permanently settied so that a splendid and first class construction will result from whatever work we do. ‘The life, use and permanency of & road depend so much on the sub foun. dation belng firm and unyielding and furniehing a good sustainment before the stone 1s applied that it goes with- out saying that it Is a dangerous ex- periment to place stone on any sub grade for some little time to come. However, this will not deter contractors from doing excavation work, shaping the road and getting ready for the ap- plication of stone later on atter the weather has become thoroughly set- tled and we have finished with spring ins. This note of warning Is for the pur- pose of intimating to contractors who are doing macadam work that suitable precaution be taken in the conduct of thelr work so that a splendid piece of road may resuit in anything we may do_on our macedam system. May I ask that these instructions be followed out to the letter, so that no conflict may occur between the con- tractors of the atate and my depari- ment?
