HAS NOT CONFESSED Nothing to the Story That Mrs. Annie Lawson Has Told About Husband's Murder, “Absolutely not a bit of truth in the narrative,” was about the manner in which Attorney Charles L. Torrey, counsel for Mrs. Amanda Ulrika ~aw- son, disposed of a story that has ere- ated a great deal of talk in Putnam during the past 48 hours. The story that gained calculation was to the effect that Mre. Lawson had confessed something relative to the murder charge on which she is to be put to trial probably this month, and had implicated a man in the confession. The story spread like wildfire and gained currency not only in Putnam, but in all surrounding towns as well Investigation of the yarn reveals that it was manufactured out of whole cloth. Mrs. Lawson, who Is released from custody under bonds, is at her home in Woodstock. She has said nothing about the case that has been of any particular interest since she was presented before Judge Shum- way in the superior court here during March and pleaded not guilty to a charge of manslaughter in connection With the death of her husband, Jonas J. Lawson, who was murdered at their home in Woodstock on a night in Au- Eust of last year. e Attorney Charles E. Sear ;a.ld‘ he also had heard of the o ession” story, but that there basis for it. Sn The story was on_the lips of scores of people here and gained extraor- dinary circulation, so much so that it was flnally deemed best t5 deny it, as it was giving rise to other and equally unfounded yaris of a sensational na- re. MUST PAY A TAX. City of Putnam Obliged to Pass Over $294 to Town of Woodstock. Corporation Counsel Charles L. o rey has !dteclded that the city of ;3’; ust pay a tax to the town Woodstock, amounting to '$294.88, gl: the property belonsing to the water department of the city located In the town of Woodstock, for the reason that the deeds whereby the city got possession of this property from the Putnam Water company were not re- corded in the town of Woodstock un- til recently. The city of Putnam paid the water company and took pos- session of the property about a year and a half ago, and it was supposed by the present city officlals that the deeds had been properly recorded. The assessors of the town of Woodstock at their regular meeting last Np- vember, assessed the Putnam Water company to the amount of $17,358, made up of 3250 for three houses, $1,608 for 184 acres of land, $2,500 for one pump and $13,000 for other taxable property. ‘The city officials learned of this as- seSsment and Instructed Mr. Torrey to appear before the Board of Relief at the propert time for a hearing on the improper assessment, as under Connecticut stdtutes the city claims that all fts property In Woodstock is exempt from taxation except the land, Section 2815 of the statutes of Oon- necticut exempting, all bulldings be- longing to any city from taxation; the machinery and underground -pipes and mains bel Dersonal property, are taxable in the town where the land lies at the valuation per aere assessed of the improved farming land in said town, ‘these By reason of claims, *| recorded, and the city officials expect I TIT 1111111111011 111 A | e _'Housewives:_Show,this Ad'to yourhusbands. .
