Brown questioned Witnesses in, the West Mystic murder, having them before kim at New Loa- don. 'The man killed was Charles W. Glaze, colored. Gladys M. Barl, who was the only white person ‘n ‘the party, told the following story of the horrible inci- dent ana the events leading up to it She said that she came to Cedir street, West Mystic, to live with Thomas Ecclestone as his housekeeper last July 4. She was living at 22 John street. New Londom at that tme ng for a woman who took in washing. Previous to that (she is 24 years old) she. had lived at Aifferent times in houses of jil repute in Brad- ley street. New London, and tha swam, s0-called, at Norwich. ' She is the sec- ond wife of Thomas G. Earl, who runs a restaurant in Putnam, but has not lived with him for some time. Before her marriage she was Gladys M. Leon- arg cf Springfield. * She sald that on Monday Ecclestone gave Glaze a check for $10 to be cashed at the Mystic River bank and that he came back about 1 o'ciock, bringing with him two bottles of whiskey. . With this they intended to coatinue the carouse that had. been lasting for over a_week. Glaze went td bed about a half hour after coming home. She and _Ecclestone busied themselves about the chicken yard, & littl> ways from the house. About 3 o'clock Frank Thompson and Alice Lewis arrived on the sceme, quite un- expectedly, the Earl women says. The new arrivals sat down to a meal tha. had ‘been lying on the tabie sinoe din- ner, and eating anl drinking continued, as well as the Earl woman can re- moember, until about $ o’cleck. Thomp- son began to do some singing about this time, and Glaze, who was probably 2nel by the noise, came out int’ a the kitchen and took a. drink. Women Got Drinks in Mystic. ‘Then the Earl w)man announced that she was going up into Mystic to do some shopping for the household. Glaze objected to this, saying that he believed she intend2d to go to New London instead of Mystic, and forced her to give'aim $7 which she had in her sweater pocket. She objected to his taking it frym her, saying that it belongad to Ecclestone, but Glaze kept the money. The Eerl woman and the Lewis woman started off for Mystic. Thompson following after them. The Earl woman says she objected to Thompson's accompanying them be- cause she did not want to be sean on the stree: in company with a colored man. But the three of them went up intc tha village am1 stopped at two saloons, where they got drinks, stand- ing the bartender off for the price of them. Well along toward intoxication, they then returned to West Mystic, getting off at Cedar street. Glaze and Eccle- stone wero waiting for the car here, intznding to take it to New London. Seeing the three get off here, Eccia- stone and Glaze returned with them (& the house. Here, according to the Earl woman's story, there was more altercation over the $7. This was about 11 o'clock, or as nearly that time as the Earl woman, who admit- ted that she, like the others, was well along towar1 intoxication, couid recoi- lect. Thompson and Glaze had words over the money and during the quarrsl Thompscn went into the pantry and tools a butcher knife, which he put in his pocket. Says Thempson Did Stabbing. Glaze was sitting in a chair near the stove when Thompson came out of the pantry. He said: “You can't hurt me, Thompsor” It was while Glaze was sitting in the chair by the stove, with Ecclestone dead drunk in a chair on the bther side of ihe room, that the stabbing occurred, she said. Glazo managsd to get up from the chair, after being stabbed in the abdomen, and crawled on his hends and knees to tho fror* room, is used as a bed room. Then, the arl woman said, Thompson followed Glaze Into th room, wiere he must have stabbed him again, as two wounds were found on him, one in tha pit of the stomach and the other a littie lower, ‘'n the abdo- men. Furnishings Blood Bespattered. Thompson then. came ovt, with the knife in his hand, dripping blood all over the kitchen floor. On his way out of the back door he grabbed a kimona Lelonging to the Earl woman and, wiping his hands on it, he then took the lamp off - the kitchen shelf and reeled out of doors, leaving a trail blood down the back steps and smearing bloody, fingers on the door. There must have been duite a struggle etween Thompson and Glaze, to judg> by the appearance of the kitchen, tiic floor, walls, table and chair of which were more or less sprinkled witn blood. The Earl woman found her way i the front room, where Glazé was 1y neerly dead from loss of blood. whi had formed a big pool about his pro trate form. She raised up his heal and put & pillow beneath it and then rar upsfairs, returning with a _package of absorbent cottom, with which she tried to stcp the flow of blood. Right after the stabbing the Lewis women_ took hold of Thompson, sa: ing: “Come on, Frank, let's get out of this” The Earl woman called after them as they left the yar ‘or God's sake, don't leave me here alone. You have killed him.” But Thompson and the Lewis woman kept on. They must have walked all the way to New Lo: don, as it was too late for a trolley Groton. Chey were arrested at their quarters in New London about 4 o'clock, having been seen walking across the Thames river bridge. The Farl woman insists that the $7 was th> canse of the killing, or the row that led up to it; but Ecclestone do>s not agree with this statement. “Glaze,” he said, “was jealous of the Earl woman and accused her of going about with several men. There was jealousy butween Glaze and Thompson over the Earl women.” This he said in answer to questions made by Con- to Discovery KILLS BED BUGS Peterman Feod—xills ants and fieas..

BEecle- stone, however, seemed to be in a sort of stupor Tuesday morning and was taking doscs of parcgoric for hie nerves. He insists that he was d drunk at the lime of the murder, -n ‘night, in fact, aund the Earl women makes the same statement about Ec- clestone. Glaze and the' Farl woman were on friendly terms, but she said there had been no improper relations between them for over a year. Women’s Fingers Cut. The Farl woman bors a small scar on the index finger of her left hand, ‘This, she said, was caused by Thomp- sor. when she and the Lewis woman hac ati>mpted to wrest ‘he butcher knife from him. The Lewis woman, she said, was also cut on the finger: Glaze,' the murdered man, was 34 years old and a nativa of Americus, Ge. He went to West Mystic to work for Ecclestone, who is a mason, a week ago. Most of the time since his ar- rival had been spent in drunkenness. Beclestone’s house, it is claim: had a reputation for careusals long time. Annie Lewis said bottles were thrown at the house and admitted that Thomp- son stabbed Glaze, saying that he first took a knife away from Glaze. It is stated that Thompson admitted to the lieutenant of the New London police that he stabbed Glaze, but sall he did it in self defens>. He claimed that he took the butcher knife away from Glaze and in doing so received the cuts on his hand. He stabbed him after that. They wero committed to the jail in New London on a coroner’s mittimus and will be held until his raport, which is_expected soon,..when they will be presented in the town court of Groton. DOESN'T BELONG TO STATE TO. REPAIR. Stonington Reported Bad Roads, but way Commissioner Not Respon- or a Stirrec to action by the complaints of poor state roads flled at a town meeting at Stonington a few days ago, Highway Commissioner Macdonald has visited that town and true to thz com- plaints the roads were in ragged shape and the commissioner was greatly “het up” over their conditicn until he learned that not one of the complained of pieces of roadway weas a state road in charge of his department, says the New Haven Register. Before acquiring this Information the commissioner se- verely criticised John Donovan of Nor- wich, seperintendent of roads in_th district. It was 3 g propar dressing down of the tendent, but he tock it calmly, it appears. Commissioner Macdonald -nad finished he was surprised to hear that not one of the roads with which he had found fault was under the care of his dapart- ment. They were all handled by the town, therefore Superintendent Dono- ven ‘was in no way responsible for their condition. Taxpavers over Stonington way ave allowed to work out their taxes on the roads, and the town has not askel for improvement of its highways by the state. Until this method of caring for the roads is abolished Stonington will have cause for complaint, but not against the highway commissioner. BROADWAY CHURCH BROTHERHOOD.

DEVELOPMENT OF KITEMAUG. Action of Town Will Determine How Soon Actiom Will Be Taken. Regarding the mew Montville high- ‘way for which another special meeting will be held Monday, Frank W. Brown- ing, who owns the Kitemaug tract, stated on Monday, saye a Montville correspondent, that to give right of free access to the wharf at the Kite- maug cottages would dertainly be a big ohstacle in the future development of this importaut section. The prin- cipal idea, however, in fixing the ter- minal of the proposed road at the rail- road was to aveid saddling the town with large expense, as were the rail- road tracks to be crossed, the commis. sioners would be called upon in re gard to the matter and the construc- tion of a bridge would necessitate the expenditure of several thousand dol- lars It was also the intention, should the road be built, to extend it in the future along the river through the Massapeag ' section, all - of which, if opened up and given communication with the main highways, will become a valuable aseet in taxing property. Mr. Browning also stated that he has been for some time in communi- cation with the New York people who are likely to purchase the Kitemaug property and develop it, but that its development depended to a great ex- tent on a favorable action by-the town regarding the road.
