It was learned during Monday night, when E;llo!ht;: an: mouth, and that the steel-jacketed bullet had torn its pward through the head, penetrated the brain and had come out through the skull, the fracture that was the out- ward sign that [Elliott was badly hurt. ‘How the man lived for almost a week after having so terribly wounded him- self, is regarded as something of a marvel and there is no doubt that he suffered untold agony during the days following his attempt to destroy his own worthless life. But whatever pain he suffered he endured with the stoicism of a Spartan, never giving the slightest hint even as to how he came by his injury. Never Mentioned Crime. From the time of his capture under a wagon shed at the Roland Wills place in Thompson, last Thursday morning, to the hour of his death, he spoke only a limited number of words —and not a solitary one about the crime. It is probable that he could have told something about what hap- pened at the Pettis place if he had cared to do so on the morning of his capture, for he did show some clear- ness of mind, though he was in a deplorable condition, kut he refused to answer questions and as time went on his condition became critical. The story of his attack upon Mr. Pettis, the beginning of the affair that ended in a double murder, will be buried with Elliott, for only victim and mur- derer know what took place in the rear of the Pettis homestead, where it is now established that Elliott fired | d: his first shot. Body Claimed by Aunt. Ellioft's body was claimed Tuesday afternoon by his aunt, Mrs. Daniel Arnold, resident in Thompson. She was his mother’s sister and even un- der the dark pall of the circumstances surrounding her nephew’s death she has shown the strength of her char- ity in taking upon herself the duty of providing burial. Bitter Feeling Against Murderer. News of the death of Elliott was received with more of satisfaction than there usually is of regret when a person passes on. The feeling against him has been exceedingly bit- ter and there are not a fe wwho have openly expressed themselves as sorry that he was not lynched by the squad that captured him. Elliott’s death means the saving of much money for the state. That is regarded by many as the onlp conso- lation there is in the whole terribie Justice, Mrs. Pettis Says. When: news of the murderer’s death was telephoned to Mrs. Lulu F. E. Pettis, wife and mother of Elliott's victims, she was very much interest- cd. Mrs. Pettis said press regret; justice that he should die. Mrs. Pettis, who is now in Pufnam, staying with her sister, Mrs. Fred Card, is still in a very nervous con- dition as the result of the terrible ex- perience through - which she passed. She said Tuesday that it is her belief that Elliott never went far from the site of his crime, though she says there is no truth in the story that she heard a shot during the night follow- ing tife murder, this shot supposedly fired when Eiliott inflicted what proved to be his own fatal wounds. WERE IN NORWICH Employes in Plant Department At- tended Meeting Held Tuesday Even- ing. Employes in the plant department of the Danielson division of the S. N. E.

The town sustained no loss through the transactions on which the suit is based. Losers to Entertain Winners.

Davis continue the work of hunting gypsy moths in towns in this section of ‘Windham county. They are sent out from the Connecticut Agricultural Bx- periment station at New Haven and have been at work in this part of the country throughout the winter. They have found and destroyed thousands of egg masses and are now preparing for the caterpillar season, which be- gins next week. No egg masses have been found in the town of Killingly, where the moth has been present in the past.

CORONER INVESTIGATES Secures All Available Information as to’ Fatal Accident to Charles Jacques. s «Coroner Arthur G. Bill made an i formal investigation Tuesday after- noon of the accident in which Charles Jacques met his death Monday even- ing. Coroner Bill interviewed Frank Vednais, driver of the car that figured in the accident and questioned him at considerable length, but not as a sworn witness. Mr. Bill said later that his investigation had been an in- formal one. He gave the impression that fircumstances surrounding the case and the information he had gleaned relative to it indicated that it might be regarded as one of thé unavoidable kind of accidents, but he had not decided just what course of action he would pursue in the matter. The traveling salesman who was rid- ing with Vadnais when the accident occurred, left the city Tuesday and could not be interviewea by Cor- oner Bil. The man's residence is at Leominster, Mass, st of from what he said it it soon after the happening.
