There was a daring robbery about six o'clock Wednesday evening when two fellows, ideniity unlnown, stole & v mackinaw and sweat- er h were on display in front of F. Ohiacion's arars, two men came right up to the coat and Swssier, took thiem down and calmly th them. first Charon knew of the was when o Doy came into the store and said “Say, two strangers just walked away with the coat and eweater that were out in front of the store!” JI. hurried out to the street Lemoine who was nearby if he had seen anything of the men. Lemoine said he had seen two young fellows walk up to the coats, but he did not think anything was wrong. He sald that they had hur- ried off down Railroad street. Mr. Charon sent for Officer John McGuire and telephoned to the railroad station to be on the lookout for two fellows answering the description of the rob- bers. Mr. Charon went as far as Occum but saw nothing of them. Two young men had been observed hangin around the store earlier in the day and it is thought they are the ones who stole the coat and sweater.

The second day of the Howarth ar- son trial furnished more thrills than the first. The preliminary evidence ‘was mostly in by the afternoon session and the attempt to connect the accused with the commission of the various crimes charged was begun. The wo- man in the case made her appearance towards the close of the session and the story of her self-sought intimacy with the defendant, by means of a supposed interest in a real estate deal, in order to obtain purported confes- sion from his own'lips, was in pro- cess of telling when court adjourned at_five o'cloek. Her story was interspersed with a running fire of objections from Attor- ney Willlam A. King, rulings by Judge Willlams and statements fo the jury by his honor explanatory of the na- ture of the evidence admitted, and the purpose. Cain Stolid—Howarth Nervous. Cain maintained the same dull, stolid demeanor as on the previous day, | hardly moving during the entire ses- | sion, but Howarth outwardly calm, suggesting questions to his counsel and ng mnotes, betraved an inmer ner- vousness by frequent trips to the water cooler to moisten his parched throat, and by half hidden motfons with his hands. Some of the afternoon testimony called forth amusement to such a de- gree that the court demanded order, noticeably when Mrs. Bennett told of the defendant's remarks that he was a lawyer because there was more and that he desired to go to the leg- | islature in order to get a retainer from the New Haven road not to appear against them, . - courtroom was filled with spec- among them the defendant's | tat sister. The first witness after the jury an- swered to their names at 10.30 was S. Slizabeth Clarke, recalled to the stand to identify the ificate of .distribu- tion of her mother’s estate, which was | in her possession at the time of the fire on the premises. Rev, Charles F. Bedard of St. Mary’ Putnam, testified as to the| ownership of the two story brick and | wood building owned by the parish | which was burned a year ago and a | deed to the church dated July 15, 1881 | laid in. Jemes B. Tatem was recalled to show ownershjp to his property on which a Testimony Given. | i i bulding was burned, and on Cross ex- amination by Attorney Harvey said the property was insured for $9,000 and the insurance had been paid. The Wheaton Fire. Edgar M, Wheaton, contractor, and president and general manager of the Wheaton Lumber company, the loca- tion of the most disastrous of the fires, proved his title and told his story of | the night, aroused by the alarm and getting to the fire when the shed where the fire originated was half ! consumed. He had inspected the building at 7.15 the same evening. No oil was kept in the shed. Cross ex- amination elicited that cement and; lime were stored in the loft of the! shed, that the railroad tracks were | near the property and that no watch- man was kept there, Ralph Thurston testified to seeing the blaze at the Wheaton fire when it was small, but it spread very quick- ly . There were no street lights that night, as it was a clear, moonlight night. Michael R. Joy on the, Stand. Michael R. Joy testified as to the rapidity with which the fire spread. also spoke of meeting Howarth Cain on his way to the so-called Priests Island fire and told of hav- ing an automobile burned in the fair Laxative Brom> Quinine Tablets re- move cause. There is only one “Bromo Quinine.” It has signature of H. W. . UVE on bex. 25c. UNDERTAKER a nd EMBALMER 62 Church St., Willimantie, Ct. Telephone Lady Assistant DR. F. C.

He said the north, or int-shop building, was the first to urn at the latter fire. ©On cross ex- amination by Attorney Harvey, law- books and a stand for pens were wsed by the attorney to fix.upon. the la yer’ able the position of the arch dridge, the main line bridge and the fair grounds, the island and the river. He testified that Howarth and Cain sald they had been at the wreck, near the main lne bridge, which he said ‘was about 500 yards from the Il%:d - fire, with thick woods between.. ‘The party passed one other man, a foreign- er, on their way to the fire, but his clothes were not wet, as they would have been had he come from the other side of the river, Howarth’s Two Cars Richard Gorman, an Insurante agent, was the next witness, telling how he insured Howarth's Velie car for $800 and his Chalmers for $1,400 on information furnished by the defend- ant at the time of making out the pol- icies. This was just previous to the fire in which’they wera burned. The valuation was $1,400 for both cars, Cross examination elicited nothing of value, Recess was taken at 12.30 to 1.30. Insurance Adjuster's Testimony. The first Afiernoon witness was Morris Penrose of Hartford, insurance adjuster, who testified about the value of the cars, the loss, etc, under the policy. The Velie car cost $1285 a year before the fire and the Chalmers $1400 a few weeks before, defendant told him. Courtland B, Arnold, in the fish bus- iness in Putnam, told the story of his trip to the Priest island fire in com- pany with Joy, and gave substantially the same detalls, On cross examination by Attorney King witness stated that box 15 from which the alarm was sounded, was not in the direction of the fire or the wreck, but in the opposite direction to the wreck. He could see a fire burn- ing at the site of the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R, wreck. It was further to box 15 from where he was at the time of the alarm than from where he met Howarth and Cain. Insured. Found Kerosene Cans. Herbert G. Way, the painter in whose shop flve autos were eonsumed at the time of the fair grounds fire, sald he locked his premises at § o'clock that evening and thought there was no fire in the stove, as he had but a light one all day. He found a can near the | ruins the day after the fire, with ker- ne in it ,although it was an oil n: showed it later to Howard, who said it would have no particuiar bear- ing as evidence. Another can was seen not far from the first. Howarth brought one car in the Saturday before the fire. saying he would not want it before Wetinesday. The fire occurred Monday night. Witness was asked on cross exam- tnation if he had not been tioned about keeping too hot & fire in his shop but denied it. He kept no auto oils or gasolene on hand, no lamps or lan- terns in the place. The stove was round with direct draft. He had used black oil to keep the dust down, on the_floor. Witness Holbrook, recalled, could well when the fire of seeinz a can the north bulld- occurred, but told about 50 feet from ing, kerosene in it. John Murray lock- ed 1t in police station. On cross ex- amination he conld give no reason for taking one can and leaving the other. State Policeman’s Evidence. State Policeman Hurley told of find- oil can about eight feet from the east end of the south building, which had kerosene in it. He took it | to Way’s stable and left it there over night, but it was swept out or thrown away In cleaning up the stable. Arthur S. MacDonald, newspaper- man, member of the bar and prose- cuting attorney of Putpam, left the reporters’ table to take the stand, and testified to visiting the site of this same fair grounds fire, and to the find- ing of an oll can containing some ker- osene, either the one shown him or a similar can. Can ldentified. The can, which was identified and made an exhibit, was a red can with black lettering. which had contained Whiz automobile oil. Saw Two Men Near Sheds. Henry Duryea, who lived but a short distance from ihe fair grounds, ftold of being awakened by the stalling of an anto. He got up to lizht his pipe and have a smoke. The first he saw was a blaze In the southeast of the notth building. Tried the fire department to come down, but couldn't. After the fire had started he saw two men near his fence, one short, the other tall, both fairly stocky, who lit cigarettes and went in the direction of the cattle sheds. He told Hurley some time later and they took footprints. He told Attorney King he thought they lit cigarettes, for it took but one puff to light them, Chief Wilson's Testimony. After a short recess, Mark H. Wil- son, chief of the nam fire depart- ment, w: called to the stand He told of finding a fire in some IF CONSTIPATED OR BILIOUS “CASCARETS” For Sick Headache, Sour Stomach, Sluggish Liver and Bowels—They work while you sleep.

The same night bur- lap, soaked with kerosene, was burn- ing in the watercloset on the Mullin building premises between the shed and a saloon, which was quickly put out. | Nov, 13th the same building was | consumed and a slelgh with cushions and excelsior soaked with kerosene was found. At the Clark fire of October 30th, leaves, shingles and kindling wers found where it was set, and" there was a half barrel of ofl jist through on the other side. . The Wheaton fire acted as if the lumber was saturated with ofl, ag wit- ness saw a blue flame and then the blaze spread all over the bullding. Cross examination did not shake his testimony. Car Returned with Three in It. Marjorie Burgess, who lives diag- onally across the street from Howarth in Putnam, told of being awakened by the alarm. She heard a door close and saw the defendant come from his home, light his auto lights and drive his car off. About fifteen minutes later the car came back with three im it, two got out, Howarth extinguished his lights put up his car and joined the party, one of whom had gome. The one he joined was Cain, witness sald, and Howarth exclaimed, “This is just what 1 lilke—I'm right in my ‘glory.” They went away together. On cross examination she could not tell which car defendant had, nor give a reason why she did not ask them where the fire was, as she knew Howarth well. Mrs. Zola Bennett on the Stand. Mrs. Zola Bennett, a nurse of Dan- jelson, took the stand to testify at length in regard to conversations with Howarth at his office and at her home during which she became intimate with him and it is supposed obtained admissions from him in regard to the fires. 2 Judge Willilams ruled that If she made her notes as soon as practicable after the conversations, they were made reasonably near the transaction even though a trolley ride of nine miles intervened. State's Attorney Searls claimed the entire conversations as showing how their intimacy devel- oped and the witness was allowed to testify at length for that purpose, us- ing her notes to refresh her momory. The details of the first meetings showed merely how the defendant went into his own family affairs, but on May 29th at witness’ home she testified that Howarth was very ex- cited, almost jumping up and down on the divan in the den in her home, where they were after lunch. He told of his enemies and that he had got- ten square with some and would with others. He also mentioned the names of Joy, MacDonald, Davenport, Tatem, Wheaton and others and made the re- | marks already accredited to him. The witness spoke with difficulty owing to an affection of the throat, and could scarcely be heard by the jury. There are yet some dozen conversa- to and today is expected to develop more specific ad- missions of the defendant, as alleged by the state through their “female de- tective.” Brief Mention. A.
