FRANK E. ROBINSON, Treasurer. MISS M. C. ADLES, Kair, : calpand Face Specialist After Summer N.gloct- }The‘ imeSavings Bank OF NORWICH. Bertram G. Spencer, the man who, according to the police, has confessed that he terrorfized residents of west- ern Massachusetts for daring robberies, appeared completely ! unnerved at Tuesday's session of his trial at Springfield on the charge of murdering Miss Martha B. Black- stone, said a Springfield despatch Tuesday night. ‘While District Attorney C. T. Calla- han was describing the shooting of the school teacher on the night of March 1, 1910, at the home of Mrs. Sarah J. Dow, the accused man broke down and wept, and exclaimed: “No! Spectators in the court noticed that it seemed impossible for Spencer to keep still. His legs trembled contin- uously and he covered his eyes with his hands. But when adjournment was taken at dusk, Spencer walked from the prisoners’ cage without as- sistance and appeared to be in a more tranquil frame of mind. ‘What was apparently the first effort or the part of the defense to show that Spencer was insane at the time of the tragedy was made late in the | afternoon, when Mrs. Sarah J. Dow was cross-examined by Attorney Sta- | | pleton, chief consel for the accused man. Mr. Stapleton inquired particu- larMy if the ey f the man who en- tered her residence looked wild. “You | might call it so, I suppose,” the wit- ness replied. Later Miss Lucy Dow, a daughter of Mrs. Dow, was asked | whether the robber had not overlook- ed articles of valle, taking property | of less consequence. Miss Dow re- plied in the affirmative. The stories of the tragedy told by Mrs. Dow and her daughters, Miss | Lu J. Dow and Miss Harriet Dow, | were practically the same. None of the women could identify the accused man as the person who entered their home and killed Miss Blackstone, say- BARLEBEN TRIO AND RECITAL COMPANY { Scored Distinct Success in Third Num- ber of Y. M. C. A. Entertainment Course. An audience that took every seat in the Central Baptist church greeted the Barleben Trio and Recital here on Tuesday evening in the third number of the Young Men's (:hr'u;nan; association entertainment course, and showed their delight by enthusiastic applause and frequent encores for the excellent. work of the artists who ap- peared on the programse. The fcllowing were the nusicians who appeared: Karl Barleben, violin: Johannes Warnke, ’‘cello: J. Baumgartner, piano; Arthur Hackett, tenor; William H. O'Brien, baritone; Miss Caroline Hooker, soprano. From Mr. Barleben’s masterly hand- |ling of the violin down through the | list, each artist was heard with the keenest pleasure and appreciation in | solo work, while their ensemble and | other numbers were given with a bal- ance and tonal accord that gave un- usual distinction to thelr programme. | The following were the selections: | Trio.

F PRICE OF MILK. Producers’ Association Not Decided on What They’ll Accept. ‘ It became known here today that the Farmers and Milk Producers’ as- sociation in Plainfield section had re- | ceived from the Providence Milk Car | association an offer of 42 cents per | ten quart can from the beginning of next month until the first of May. The farmers are receiving that price at present, but beginning with next montl the Milk Car association had previously offered 36 cents per tem quart can. It is understood that the famers are not favorable to acceptance of the offer, but no definite action will be taken until a meeting of the pro- ducers, called for next Saturday, is held. It was also learned that the Providence Dairy company, Wwhich ships milk to Boston, had offered the producers 47 cents per ten quart can for 6,000 quarts a day, but as the av- erage daily output of the producers 49,000 quarts it is not believed that offer will be accepted. | PAGE 11 | NEW LONDON RECONSIDERS. | Plain Clothes Man Will Not Be Added to Police Force. Believing it an added expense that could not well be afforded at this time, when all the city departments are making extraordiMary demands upon the city treasury, Mavor Mahan at the special council meting at New -London Monday night advised the abandon- ment of the plan for a plain clothes man in the force, and the council vot- ed to zive up the idea. At the regular meeting a week ago it was voted to | appoint a plain clothes man at a sal- |ary not to exceed $75 per month. At |the special meeting Monday evening | it was voted to strike that vote from { the minutes of the resular meeting. CHURCH CONFERENCE.‘ Forty-fifth Annual Gathering in Dan- Denies Statement in His Alleged Confession—State May company | Albert | D . ing that the lower part of the murders er's face was covered by a handker- chief. They did, however, identify a beaded belt and a pearl brooch, said two years by |to have been found in the possession | of uSpencer at the time of his arrest, as their property. In reviewing the events of the night of the shooting, the witnesses testified that Miss Black- stone visited the Dow home on the afternoon of March 31 and remained after supper. They went into the back parlor and-amused themselves with a picture puzzle until about 8 o'clock, when Miss Blackstone suddenly re- marked that she must be going. At the same moment a noise was heard | and a man wearing a slouch hat and witis the Jower part of his face cover- ed by a black handkerchief appeared in a doorway. - The four women gathered in the center of the room and Miss Harriet Dow in her excitement fell over a rug. She screamed repeatedly and herl mother asked her to be quiet. Miss ! Lucy Dow moved towards a tele- | phone in the rcem to call for assist- | {ance, and as she took down the re- ceiver the man levelled his revolver | and shouted: “Give me your money.” That was the first time he had spok- en, 4riss Blackstone at this point rushed | towards the door to leave the room, | {and the intrduer shot her through the | heart. Miss Harrietr Dow began mov- hair towards the man, who If you want to die, yvou die Thereupon he fired at the | young woman, inflicting a scalp wound | that proved not to ‘be serious. He| then opened an outside door and dis- appeared. The police who arrested Spencer and searched his room also testified. In all seventeen witnesses were heard at Tuesday's session, and Tues- day night it was predicted that the prosecution would conclude its direct testimony today. - 'M’IVER WOULD RUN INSTEAD OF WICKS Bill Is Sick and Out of Condition for Road Work—But Hospital Has Rep- resentative. Joha D. Nolan's suggestion for a Tharksgiving day road race between Norwich ard New London between Tom Tuckey, William Wicks and Tom- my Hendrick, brings out the response from Wicks that he is now in no con- | dition to race and could not be by Thanksgiving. Wicks has been sick this summer and fall and has had to drop off his training. Wicks would be zlad of the chance to meet these other two men but that is out of the question now. But with Wicks out of it, the State hcspital can still have a representative as they have a long distance runner down there by the name of Mclver, who would go into the event if it can | be arranged. Meclver has done some Marathon razing, having taken part in the Brockton Marathon 4 year ago and finishing tenth STUART F. DOUGLAS Re-elcted Counciluman in New Ro- cheile Last Week by Big Vote. At the election in New Rochelle, N. Y, last week Stuart F. Douglas formerly of this ecity, a councilman. In reference to it the New Rochelle Standard says: “The vote by wards was the real surprise to both parties. The repub licans expected to win in the First, Second and Third representatives, were counting on the 3d to give C well a plurality. Instead, the First | ward elected two democratic council- {men, Stuart F. Douglas getting th second highest ward vote in the ci Repairing Damages at Niantic. Assistant Quartermaster General M. J. Wise went to Niantic Tuesday noon to inspect the state property which had been injured in the gale of Sun- {day. He had sent instructions to | Caretaker Raymond C. Beckwith of Niantic to repair damage to the fence and to the flagpole. Work is also b !ing done on the roofs of a @ok shec and a bharn. The gale was nearly a violent as that which struck Camp ; | Morris in 1893 and Camp Raynolds in 11904, the latter driving ashore thir- i teen sailboats which dragged anchor in Crescent bay. was re-elected | STIFF WORK FOR ACADEMY. Coaches Put Squad Through Driving Practice—Fixing for Bulkeley Satur- day. a Some of the hardest, driving prac- tice of the season was the rule on the Academy campus on Tuesday after- n?n, and the second eleven received anf unmereiful pounding at the hands of the regulars. The regulars were given the ball time after time and sent driving through the scrubs until they had scored a touchdown, and the scrubs showed themselves helpless to turn back the fierce play of Captain Gebrath’s men. All the formations were rehearsed over and over until they were moving off fast and smooth, making the eleven look like a formid- able scoring machine. Captain Gebrath was on the field, but not in football togs, and there is small chance of his playing Saturday | against Bulkeley. Fullback Coughlin, who was out of the game last Satur- day with a sore leg, was back in his position again, but twisted his ankle slightly and rested up for the rest of the afternoon. From the indications of the practice on Tuesday Bulkeley will find they are against a different proposition than they met in the crippled Academy team of two weeks ago. Saturday will be played on the camp- us instead of on the Hospital grounds, giving the townspeople a chance to see the most exciting struggle of the year. Manager Haviland and his assistants | have the gridiron partially laid out on the new campus. J Saturday evening the senior class is to give a dance for the first and sec- ond teams, and the Bulkeley players 1l also be invited. The committee in charge includes Robert O. Fletcher (chairman), Harold Burt, ortimer Eldred, Miles Standish, Russell Kin- ney, William Coughlin, and the Misses Grace Lester, Bertha Hutzler and Vi- létte Peck. LOOKING FOR BODIES. Search Continued by Captain of Wrecked Schooner—No Child Was Aboard. Despife diligent patrol of the west shore of Plum Island Tuesday, none of the bodies of survivors of the wrec of the schooner Edith E. Dennis,wh was lost Sunday night, were found. It was ‘cund that the lives of Mrs. Cook, wife of Captain E. C. Cook, and two seamen were lost. There was no child aboard the Denni Captain Cook i quartered at Plum Island light, the guest of Captain Eardt, the lightkeeper, until the seas go down so that friends may come from his home town, Greenport, and take him off. He wants to stay a few days longer at any rate apd continue the search for his wife's body. Tusday he watched the waters of Plum Gut continually to see if the body came to the surface and vigil he was assisted by the lightkeep- ers and soldiers from Fort Terry. It was the guard on the wharf in the new harbor who first saw Captain Cook on the floating wreckage Sunday evening. The guard has been instruct- ed to keep a close watch of the nearby waters for bodies of others who were on the vessel. A kangaroo has been known to leap 70 feet.
