Been Made Insane by Joy Over the Cle‘nng Up of Gresnwich, Conn., May 18.—It de- velcped today upon examination by the authcrmes, that Frederick Husted, a wealthy farmer, living ir* North Greenwich, who was found yesterday in his home with his head partly blown off, had been shot by his twelve years old son, Lester, at his own Te- quest, Called Boy Into the House. According té the story of the boy tc .the medical examiner, his mother hal been sent <n an-errand by his father, three of the children were at school, and he was out in the yard trhien his father asked him if he had seen a hawk flying over the farm and ¢én his answering that he had not, told him to come into the house. Toid Boy to Pull the Trigger. He went into the kitchen and there Ris father was, as he supposed, clean- ing a shotgun which always stood in back of the kitchen door, loaded. His father, the boy said, laid the gun on the Kkitchen table, and said: “Pull the trigger; it is not loaded. I want to hear how it sounds.” Gave Order a Second Time. As he made the request, he knelt on the floor and placed his left eve over the muzzle. The boy said he did not pull the trigger that time, but let the hammer down with his thumb. This seemed to ‘anger his father .and he said: “What ‘did you do that for? Pull the trigger, it isn't loaded. I want to hear how it sounds.” Boy Pulls the Trigger. Again Husted knelt on the floor and placed his left eve to the muzzle and this time the boy did as_he was" told d pulled the trigger, with the result at 'the left side of the man's head was blown to pieces. { Had Had a Bad Dream, Lester notified a neighbor, who in turn went af‘er Mrs. Husted. Fusted, | it is said, complained to his wife ves- terday shortly before he sent her out on an errand that he had had a bad dream and that his head hurt him, and it is thought that he was temporarily inszne, his congition being brought on by hard work and his joy over the fact that the mortgage on the farm had been recertly paid off and that he had a chance to seil the property for a large sui te a party who wished to make the place into a private estate. Boy Sticks to Story. Although frequently questioned by the medical examiner, the boy stuck to his story and the medical examiner will report the case as a suicide. Hus- ted was 45 yeais old.

Bristol, May 18.—Lewis A. Goodsell, one of the oldest men living in Bristol, has a memory that goes back unfalter- ing for three-quarters of a century, and he told the other day a good story about a dry spell of many years ago. He remembers an old preacher that used to go to Southington, Flanders district, when he was a boy, probably seventy-five yvears ago, and of how the ]preachsr stopped a dry spell by his prayers. The preacher in question used | to walk to Southington each Sunday | afternoon from the vicinity of Berlin. | He had tp cross brooks and creeks on | his journey through the woods, and the religious services which he conducted were held in the school house of Dis- trict No. 8. in Southington. One sum- mer when a particularly dry spell had parched the earth, dried up the brooks and made the farmers worry over what was going to happen if rain didn’t ap- pear, the old preacher came and held service one hot and dry Sunday after- |noon and offered a prayer for rain, which was unique. He said: “O rain; not a sweeping rain, O Lord, but just a sort of drizzle—drazzle!” Tt didn’t take long for the Lord to an- | swer the prayer,according to Mr. Good- sell's memory, for soon great quanti- ties of water fell, the brooks and riv- {ers were filled to overflowing, and everybody but the preacher was hap- | py. The next Sunday when he went to Southington after the big rain he found the streams so full of water he coulds’t go through them at the ac- customed places and was consequently obliged to go out of his way a long distance. He: was an hour late in ar- riving at the service, but his hearers waited until he came and excused his tardiness. At the conclusion preaching service that day the old gentleman said: “Next Sunday ser- vice will be held here, if it's the Lord's will, and the creeks ain’'t too high.” SAW VICTIM'S FACE ON BILLS HE STOLE | Clifton E.
