'YOU'LL BE SATISFIED If You Buy Your Spring Wants ‘n Chas.R. Hood and His Father-in-Law Henry Larrow Die After Crinking Whiskey for Iliness—Hod Carriers’ Walking Celegate Arrested—Sudden Death of Mrs. . Westerly Branch. .. Three Million Dollars a8 .. Three Million Dollars Over Fifty Thousand Accounts. Two deaths occurred in Pawcatuck Thursday morning under peculiar and suspicious circumstances, the real facts of which will not be positively known until Coroner Franklin H. Brown of Norwich completes the investigation which was commenced Thursday aft- erneon, but is believed to have been caused by poisoning. The dead men are Charles R. Hood, aged 33, and his father-in-law, Herry Larrow, aged 63, who resided at 82 West Broad street in the tenement over Patrick Barrett's shoe shop, through the windows of which a bullet was fired by some un- known person last Saturday noon. Mr. Larrow and wife, and a daugh- ter soon to receive medical attention, and Mr_ Hood and wife and an adopted young daughter reside together in the same tenement. Last Tuesday even- ing Mr, ficod, who was employed by H. T. Kenyon & Co. as a teamster, re- turned home and complained of pains all over his body. He sent his father- in-law, Larrow, to a Westerly drug store for a quart of whiskey. Hood poured some in @ glass, then filled the glass with hot water and sweetened it. and, according to the story told by Mrs. Hood, he drank it and went to ed. Mrs. Hood and her mother and other married sister sat up all night with the other sister, who was sick. Mr. Hood awakened early in the morn- ing and said he would not go to work as _he felt very sick. According to Mrs. Hood, he vomited nearly all day: | Tuesday, but so far as she knew he took no more whiskey, although it was handy if he desired a drink. Mr, Larrow took a drink of the whis- key when he brought it to the house, Tuesday evening. Mrs, Larrow also took a very small drink, saying that it did not taste just right. Mr. Lar- row worked Wednesday on the Crow- ley place in Wequetequock, and when he returned home at night he com- plained of being sick, and soon there- after he commenced to vomit. About 8 o'clock Wednesday evening Dr. F. 1. Payne was called to attend Hood, and treated him for intestinal trouble, warning the household to keep close watch of the patient and to call him if any change came. Early on Thursday morning, at 1 o'clock, Officer Casey was called in and Dr. Payne no- tified. When the doctor arrived Hood was dead. Mrs, Hood expressed regret that she had not notified his parents in White Rock that Mr. Hood was sick, declar- ing that she would be accused of pois- oning him, in order to get the insur- ance money, and that her mother, too, would be accused of wrong doing. Dr. Payne was given permission by Mrs, Hood to make an autopsy. t Harold L. Wells, O. D., Optometrlst Defe tive vision corrected by the prop er adjastment of lenses.

The autopsy was hardly completed when there was a call for Dr. Payne to wvisit Mr. Larrow, who was in another room. Dr. Payne was so engaged that he could not respond and Drs. Pagan and Smith visited the patient. They reported that he was dying, and a few ‘minutes thereafter he was dead. Thi~ was at 9 o’clock Thursday morn- ing. The death of the two meén under similar circumstances, and within a few hours of each other, caused Dr. Payne to become suspicious. He took possession of the quart bottle from which the two men had drank, still containing half a pint of liquor, and gédve it into the custody of Officer Cas- €Y. Dr. George D. Stanton, medical ex- aminer for the town of Stonington, was notified and after a brief examina- tion decided that owing to the strong suspicion of poisoning either, by the liquor or some other cause, it was a clear case for the coroner’s investiga- tion. Coroner . Brown arrived in Westerly from Norwich on the 12.45 trolley car. He was met by Officer Casey and es- corted to the office of Willilam A. Wil- cox, where, with Medical Examiner Stanton present, he took the testi- mony of Mrs. Hood.. Then the inqui- ry was continued at the Larrow-Hood home in West Broad street, where lay the two dead bodies.

A large taxpayer of the town said Thursday that it was about time that ‘Westerly commenced to~ spread out from what has long been termed the business section, meaning presumably where most of the retail stores are lo- cated. He said the Westerly High school building, the Memorial 1ilding and the new postoffice, all would be about the limit, ana - er parts of the town wou.! _.cmand recognition. He declared that the very best site in town for a mew City hall was the vacant Vose lot at the corner of High and Canal streets convenient to the so- called business center, and also to the railway station, and that such a selec- tion would tend to broaden out, to en- large the business interests of the town. As it is planned to have a joint town hall and court house, the state to bear a proportion of the expense and maintenance, the Canal and High stree® site would be preferable to an; that could be named, owing to its con- venient distance from the railway sto- tion. It would better accommodate the superior court officers and all having business with that court, and at the same time be convenient for those having business with the town council, the town clerk, probate court, district court, water department, and all other town departments. The ple of Westerly fully appre- ciate tn.eoendowmont of Wilcox park and its enlargement and beautification by the competent board of trustees, who make a study of the public needs in the way of park improvement and readily supply whatever in reason is required, for the public <convenience, pleasure and restful recreotion. It has been suggested that a great many peo- ple would be accommodated if the walk that now enters the park near the res- idence of Dr. May was extended direct to Granite street, thereby giving resi- dents of that section a shorter route to and from the railway station. There is a walk across the park at the extreme northern end but all other walks lead direct into Dixon square. Dr. Michael H. Scanlon, district dep- uty of the Knights of Golumbus, ac- companied by the full degree team of Narray tt council of Westerly,made official visitation to McFarland council of Providence Thursday evening. In Columbus hall the third degree was conferred upon a large class of candi- dates. A social session followed the ceremonial, and the Westerly_knights returned on the train arriving in West- erly at 2.30 Friday morning. Effort is being made by some mem- bers of the Fifth company, Westerly, Coast Artillery corps, to induce George Benjamin Utter, graduate of a military school and Ambherst collegé, to become a candidate for the second lieutenancy of the company, made vacant by the resignation of Lieut. Oliver H, Wil- liams, Jr. It is said that Mr. Utter has the matter upder consideration, and that his action’ will be determined when it is definitely ascertained wheth- er non-commissioned officers or other members of the company desire pro- mstion. Vincenzo Mairorino traveling dele- te of the National Hod Carriers and uilding .Labore; association, here from Albany, directing the strike of Italfan laborers, was arrested Thursday upon complaint of William J. McDou- zall, a Westerly contractor, who is building an addition to the Ashaway clay mills, under contract for Charles P. Ecclestone. Maiorino is charged with threatening the employes of Mc- Dougall and forcing them by threats to quit work. He was arraigned before Judge Oliver Williams of the Third district court and pleaded not guilty. Trial was assigned for Friday morning and the accused was released on bonds of $200, furnished by Biaggio Pala- dino. P NI The sixth sudden death in Westerly during the present week occurred just before midnight of Wednesday, when Mrs. Albert Tucker of ~Pond street passed away. She had been in cus- tomary health until earlier in the even- ing, when she expérienced difficulty in breathing and a physician was sum- moned. She soon became unconscious and gradually failed till death came. She was 46 years of age and leaves her husband and three children. There was a s 1 meeting of the Westerly fire district Thursday morn- ing in the office of Councilman Horace E. Burdick to decide upon the agreed ownership of the Watch Hill dock, off Bay street, where the Stonington ferry boat has her landing. It was the vote of the meeting that inasmuch as J.

Hive in Guilford Swarms in the Month of March, Richard H, Woodruff, a Guilford beekeeper, has had the surprise of his life, as one of his hives sent out a new swarm on Wednesday, the swarm be- ing a good sized one. The old adage about swarms of bees ran that a “Swarm in May was worth a load of hay; swarm in June, worth a silver spoon; swarm in July, not worth a fly.” A swarm in April, much less one in March, was not even dreamed of.
