George, Byron, Mrs. Georgé Boswell, Mrs. Ber- trom Linder, Miss Emma Jordan, Mrs. Alsadie Dykeman of this town. George ine of the Greeni Hollow road and | hn Paine of Putnam are the sister and brothers of the deceased. A writer in a Hartford paper says: The candidate for sheriff ‘from Dan- felson, Senator E. H. Keach, comes)| from a republican town and has been’ elected to office in that town each state election for the past six years. Furth- ermore, he has not only carried his fown but this senatorial district in in- €reasing republican majforitles. The “republicans of Killingly believe in sup- orting Mr. Keach for the nomination lor sheriff, and they are offering a eandifate who will represent the peo- ple of Windham county and has no special interest. in ‘outside corpora- tions. “Those who know about political af- fairs in this county know reason why Sheriff Sibley was nomin- ated the last time was because the eounty’s affairs had been well managed @during his term of office and no oth- er candidate could beat him. .The re- publicane of Killingly believe that the republican voters of Windham county want to elect a man as sherifft who will serve them as well as did Sheriff Bibley.” CIRCUS ATTACHES CIRCUS.

Bradford of the firm of Searls and Russell, counsel for Wheel- er Brothers. A surety company’s bond was forthcoming to secure the release of the tents and elephants. ‘Wheeler -Brothers attached the rival show to the exient of about $4,000. The ground for the action claimed by coun- sel for the Wheeler Brothers is acts alleged to have been committed by agents of the LeTena show, which had much the same routing as the Wheel- er show during the early part of this { season. It is charged that agents of the LeTena circus, i Coatsville.

PUTNAM Suffering Sudden Heart Attack, Mrs. Lawson Unable to Appear in Court —Marslaughter Trial Deferred to Wednesday Next. % Mrs. Amanda Lawson of East ‘Woodstock, who has been on trial before Judge Howard J. Curtis and a jury in the superior court here since Tuesday, charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of her husband, Jonas P. Lawson, suffered a sudden and severe attack of heart trouble Thursday morning. Her con- dition was such that she could not possibly ~appear In court and it was necessary to postpone the trial unfh | such time as her health will permit her to again go on with the ordeal | through which she has been passing. Judge Curtis, when the sdevelopments of the morning were explained to him, i | excused the jury until 10.30 next Wed- nesday morning, when the trial will be resumed if Mrs. Lawson's health permits. { During the trial Mrs Lawson has been staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Barrak K. Smith in Putnam. On account of an aggravated form of heart trouble, from which she has suffered i for a long time, she has not been mak- ing daily trips to and from her home in Woodstock, but has remained here ‘ln’care of her nurse, Miss Nellle Ap- ley, that her strength might be as fully ! conserved as possible under the try- | ing eircumstances. Collapse Not Unexpected. Those familiar /with Mrs. Lawson's state of health fvere not at all sur- prised when they learned that she had suffered another of the periodic at- tacks of healt trouble to which she is subject; on the other hand, they had been, in a number of instances, expect- ! ing ft. | _ Her pitiable condition on the first iday of the trial, when she gave indi- ,catluns that she might sink into a i faint at any minute, prepared those who know her well for a collapse of the accused at any time. For one suf- fering as she seemed to be, Mrs. Law- son stood the first day's session bet- ter than had been expected. It was exceedingly hot and uncomfortable in the court,room on that day, too, and little less so Wednesday, 8o the heat wave may have had something to do }Wlth wearing her down. In Weakened Condition Wednesday. | During Wednesday those who watch- ed her closely noted various instances ‘when she seemed about te swoon, though at other times she was bright- er than on the first day of the trial | During Wednesday Miss Apley ocea- sionally administered tablets te Mrs. Lawson that her patient might be temporarily strengthened and invig- orated and the defendant was enabled |to sit out the day’s proceedings. It {is understood, from information gath- ) ered Thursday, that Mrs. Lawson felt yunequal to the task of going to court Wednesday, but she listened to the ‘wishes of those advising her, sum- moned all her strength and courage and .accompanied by Miss Apley, came i to the session, Counsel Explained to Court. ¢ Court offi and jurors were in | their places T y morning at 10.30 when Attorney Arihur L. Torrey, chief i counsel for Mrs. Lawson, entered and { informed counsel for the state that his client , had suffered a recurrence of her heart trouble, this during the earl- {ier hours of the morning, and was in | | a serious condition. Postponement Decided Upon. Dr. J. B. Kent had been summoned jto attend Mrs. Lawson. Hypodermic injections had been given Mrs. Law- | son; Mr. Torrey said. to strengthen her heart action, but the patient was not responding promptly to the treat- ment. There was a considerable delay before it was finally decided to post- ipone the remainder of the trial in or- der that the treatment given Mrs. Law- son might have its full effect upon her and in the hope that she would re- cover sufficiently to come into court.

MURPHY, GREENVILLE NORWICH At 11 o’clock, however, Mr.» Torrey returned to the court room in com- pany with Dr, Kent and after a con- ference between the court, counsel and physician, Judge Curtis announced the postponement to the jury and excused them until Wednesday. Judge Curtig admonished the jurors not to discuss the case with anyone and not to read anyvthing printed about it in the pa- pers, Has Serious Heant Affection. Mrs. Lawson’s eondition was being watched with close interest during the afternoon of Thursday. A physician who is familiar with her case was quoted as saying Thursday that she has heart.trouble in very dangerous form and is apt to die during any of the attacks from which she suffers. This affliction of Mrs. Lawson’s has been known of since ghe first came into the public eye following the death of her husband. The collapse she suf- fered soon after her husband’s death delayed the action of the state against her and she was not arrested until September 29 of last yvear, more than six weeks after the commission of the crime with which she 1is charged. There were times when her life was despaired of, so serious was her con- dition, but she rallied and eventually was taken into custedy. Sheriff Pres- ton B. Sibley took special precautions to guard her health during the time she was being held at Brooklyn jail and expressed satisfaction that it did not again fail seriously during the time the prisoner was in his charge. Had Decided to Have Accused Testify. All actively interested in the trial of the case were deeply disappointed at Thursday’s turn of events and none more “so then Mrs. Lawson’'s counsel. ¥t was apparent to all, however, that it would be a physical impossibility for Mrs. Lawgpn te be presemnt in court and the trial ceuld not ‘go on urless she were. Mr, Torrey had practically ,decided te have Mrs. wsen testify, as she is anxious to do, but was fearful that the excitement would break her down. Mrs. Lawson will be given every atten- tien during the next few days and it is hoped she will be able to come into court next Wednesday, News in General. W. D.

Harry Mann presided at a session of the city ocourt Thursday morning, when a young man who wanted a jail sentence was sent to Brooklyn for three months on a va- grancy charge.

A number of pupils in St. Mary’'s parochial school will finish the gram- mar course next month and are ex- ‘} pected to enter Putnam high school in the fall. Had to Attach a Pair of Elephants. Deputy Sheriff George F. Holbrook @uring his many vears of faithful ser- vice as an officer, has attached many and queer things. but never a pair of elephants until Wednesday night, as told in the Danielson news. The sher- iff was somewhat perturbed for a time over his prospects of being a keeper of the pachyderms. but he was re- lieved of thie worry. Being a chap- eron, if a sheriff may be termed as such, of elephants, is not in Mr. Hol- brook’s line. He drives a Ford. OBITUARY. Peter Allard. Peter Allard, 81, father of Joseph Allarg of Pomfret, for many years a resident of this city, dled Wednesday night. Mr, Allard was a natlve of Canada, where his sisters still reside.
