Searching parti8s have assiduously dragged the lake, in the expectation that the body of the wom- an’s husband might be found, or at least something concerned with the crime, but so far the searchers have labored in vain. The authorties, so far as they have disclosed, have no infor- mation about the missing Charlton, and whether he is dead or alive is only 2 matter of conjecture.

It is pointed out that the amount of blood on the mattress, sheets and cur- tains of the bedrdom in the villa which was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Charl- ton could not possibly come from the wounds of the woman, which were in the nature of several bruises on the head. Several persons, however, say that they saw Charlton after the date of the crime. at Moltrasio, and later at Como. These statements are contro- verted by the investigations of the po- lice, who have found that the alleged withesses have been unable to fix dates GLASTONBURY WOMAN ARRESTED AT WHITE HOUSE.

The affair occurred a short distance south of the freight station of the New Haven road and about 300 feet from the terminal of the trolley line, where the murdered man and his two friends had alighted from the ten o’clock car after spending the day near East Killingly and in adjacent terri- tory. The three men were proceeding peacefully when accosted by the two highwaymen, who immediately attack- ed them. In the fight that ensued, Fielding was struck an awful blow be- | within a few minutes. Sianfield was battered about the head in the mix- up. Whittaker deserted his friends @vhile the fight was on and had not been found up to one o'clock. Bending_over the prostrate form of Fielding, Stanfield, who did not ap- pear to realize thgt his friend was dead, was observed a few minutes aft- er the holdup by a young man who was returnjng from e Sunday evening call. He believed the men to be intoxicated. Reaching Dean's lunch room he re- ported the incident and the investi- gation which followed was Immedi- ately instituted Suspicion was at once directed toward George Berger, about twenty vears of age who lives near | the scene of the crime, and he was ar- | rested shortly afterwards and taken to the lockup at Central Village by Dep- uty Sheriff George Bliv An attempt was also made to arrest another young Moosup man, a companion of Berger's ana believed to be implicated in the affair, “out he managed to escape through cellar window at his home, as the posse arrived to take him.

Little is known about them. George Berger, familiarly known as “Nigger” Berger, has a bad reeord. He was one of the youths who received a jail sentence last year for cracking the safe in the mill office of the Ald- rich Manufacturing company in Moo- sup, and is generally regarded in his home town as of criminal tendencies. He denies, however, that he had an: thing to dp with the death of Field- ing. 2 Early this morning ‘Sheriff Bliven | was still in_the hunt for the man who is supposed to have been Berger's companion. Stanfleld is held as a wit- ness in the case which is expected to | develop rapidly today. Fielding’s body is ‘at Denison’s un- dertaking rooms. Girl Shot by Rejected Suitor.
