James Parker Packed : Up and Left Norwich — Woman Implicated in Watt GRIP&COLDS Murder Case Died Without a Will, Leaving Much «wpen Grip prevails, everything is Property. (Special to The Bulletin.) vidence, R, I, Dec. 27—If E. James ker who left his wife 14 years ago Norwich, Conn., and who is believed be living in Providence under an as- ed name, wants to inherit a siza- fortune left by his deserted wife, Be will have to make himself known #8on. Mrs. Louisa M, Potter Parker died last Friday in Norwich, leaving no will, but a considerable amount of perty. Under the law of this state Be husband becomes administrator ‘without bonding and also becomes heir to the property. About 14 years ago, E. James Parker and wife quarrelled and as a result he packed up and left home. Since then no .word has been received of him and it may be that he is dead. John J. Dunn of Westerly has been engaged to act as an attorney to find Parker, if possible. Mr. Dunn says that it is believed that the man came to Providence and probably changed his name. It is the Connecticut law that if the husband is not about the estate in this case will go to two sisters of Mrs. Parker. These sisters are invalids and | live in Norwich. E. James Parker has been missing 80 long, 14 years, that he may be de- | cided “legally dead” after court action, | the Connecticut law allowing seven years for the “presumption of death” | warrant. An attempt to locate the man is be- ing earnestly pressed, however, throughout the state and if no good re- sults it i8 likely that more extended efforts will be made. Mr. Parker should now be about 65 years old. Mrs. Parker was connected with the alleged operation which preceded the death of the young woman, Agnes ‘Watt, of Montville, and she was out under $5,000 bonds on the charge of murder.

A towel manufacturer found that his machinery was not working right and that his towels were suffering & vast tangling of the threads. While adjusting the machine he used one of the damaged towels to dry his hands. He found it pleasingly absorbent, and from the idea to which that gave rise was born the bath towel and a for- tune to the patentee. Have Good Appetite. The six elephant seals at the Aquari- um consumed in the last month about 8 ton of food; to be exact, 7,951 pounds of codfish, herring and weak- fish, or approximately ten pounds and 8 half for each daily. As might be expected of creatures with such appe tites, the elephant seals are thriving and growing.—New York Sun. One Member All Right. Little Edith, aged three, was sup- posed to take her afternoon nap, & thing she dreaded very much. Her mother came into the room, but Edith pretended she was sleeping. Her mother could tell by the unsteadiness of her eyes that she wasn't sleeping, and said: “Mamma knows you aren’t sleeping.” “Well, I isn't sleeping, but my eyes is.” Without the Latter “E.” Tt= following verse contains all the lett. s of habet except the I ter which is the letter more fre- quently used than any other: A jovial swain may rack his brain, And tan his fancy’s might; To quiz is vain, for 'tis most plain, That whit I say is right.
