He was taken without a strugsle. = A search of his person resulted in finding three revolvers and 137 rounds of ammuni- tion, but he was too far gone to offer even feeble resistance.

Fracture on Skull. After being taken to the home of Sheriff Bates, Dr. R. C. Paine, medical examiner in the town of Thompson, was called. He looked over Eiliott’s injuries and it was later announced that the most serious of these was a fracture on the left side of the skull. One eve was swollen and almost commit such a terrible crime.

Elliott could be induced to partake of only the slightest quantity of food or drink, however. A little gruel was almost forced between his parched and swollen lips, but he could not or would not eat. Rev. C. J. Harriman, rector of St. Philip’s church at Put- nam, who was among those who hur- ried to the Bates home in automobiles, held a glass of water to Elkott’s lips. This_act brought the first words from Elliott. “Is this fit to drink?” he managed to say, apparently fear- ing for his safety. He was assured that it was and then sipped at the water. Would Not Talk. Every effort to question him failed. |- He would not or could not talk about his crime nor any other subject.. Dep- uty Sheriff George F. Holbrook asked him how he came to be injured. “How were you hurt?” the sheriff asked. Elliott mumbled in reply that “Some- body got hurt.” - That was the last word that could be gotten out of him. Seated in a ring of curious persons, coustantly augmented in number, he gazed straight ahead, his bloodshot and half closed eves unblinking. Among the first who came was Emery Pettis, brother of the murdered man. . He stood before Elliott and gazed at him as if fascinated. Filiott's eyes. gazed kept over him during his sta institution.

Ne he is a brutal, treacherous He has evidently decided not to about the murders and even one has known him as long ‘as Der ing in the woodshed at the Pet home before he succeeded in killing him. But as to this, Elliott cannot be induced to talk, nor can he be on any other subject. It is possible that his condition is such that his mind is not sufficiently clear to allow of his mak- ing a statement. Held Without B: After being given considerate care and medical attention, Elliott showed no improvement in condition. An in- formal hearing was held before Jus. tice Randolph H. Chandler, the com- plaint of murder in the first degree being entered against him by George V. Ballard, 2 grand juror of the town of Thompson, and probable cause was found for holding the prisoner for trial. He was bound over without bail, hustled into an automobile and taken to the county jail at Brooklyn in charge of Sheriff Charles A. Gates of Willimantic and Deputy Sheriff W. N. Bates of Thompson. Found Seated in a Wagon. When Mr. Mills_came out of his home just before 7 o'clock Thursday morning he was surprised to see the figure of a man seated In a wagon at one of the sheds on his premises, He recognized Eiliott, who sat doubled over with his head resting on his hands and knees. (MF. Mills went back to the house and notified Sheriff Bates, who told him to keep a_watch on the man and to summon other help. Ei-|unblinkingly into space. It is be- liott appeared to be dazed.
