Benfer Haberett, 9, arrived home on Powhattan. street in time for din- ner Wednesday. He had been missing since 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. Ben- fer's story was that he had an in- vitation Tuesday evening to go fishing with some men who. are employed in the vicinity of the railroad.yards. He had accepted and remarked nonchal- antly that after the fishing party it was too late to go home, so he had remained out all night. OBITUARY. Mrs. Hermon G. Carve Mrs. Hermon G.

NO MILITARY CAMP Preparedness- Mest at Woodstock or Pomfret Unlikely. It now seems likely that the possi- bility of having a camp after the model of the military camp at Platts- burg in Woodstock or Pomfret this summer has petered out. There was the winter that such a camp would be established this sum- mer in either onc of the towns men- tioned and that it would be a center for preparedness pilgrims from all sec- tions of New England. Nothing has been hearq of the project of late and meanwhile applications for. admission at Plattsburg are coming in from many sections of New England. SEEMS SURE OF CUP Labell Trophy to he Carried Off By Webster. The win of Bartlett High school of Webster, 5 to 0, over Putnam High school on the local school field Wed- nesday afternoon seems to assure the Webster téam the beautiful silver tro- phy cup offered by W. E. Labelle of Dayville to the winners of the cham- pionship in the Northern division . of the Interschélastic league. The Web- stér team has not lost a game this season, whereas they have won two from -Killingly and have beaten Put- nam two more. One of their victories, that over Windham High school, was profested by Windham, but even with this game thrown out they seem to have a lead sufficient to keep them at the head of the race. The Southbridge High school team, the fifth member of the Northern section, is weak and has no more than an outside chance to hold the fast traveling Bartlott High team. So it surely looks as if Webster has clinched the cup for the 1916 season. OBITUARY. Mrs. Jullett R. Southwick. ‘Mrs. Juliette R. Southwick, 72, wife of F. W. Southwick, died at her home in Putnam, near Pomfret, Sunday. She had been-in poor health for some time. Mrs. Southwick had lived in Put- nam for the past 49 years.

Mrs. Horton told her story slowly, directly and gave the impression that she cared little for the ordeal to which she her- self was subjected. - It appeared to those who watched her closely that she was trying to convey to the pris- oner something of the sympathy she felt for him. Although called as & witness for the state, Mrs. Horton seemed to be much relieved when Walter R. Deuel, coun- sel for Waite, began to cross-examine her. Waite, who had sat almost mo- tionless throughout the long direct ex- amination by Assistant District At- torney George N. Brothers, dropped his hand from his chin and raised his eves towards the witness. Mrs. Waite Sobbed at Intervals. The wife of the prisoner, dressed in deep mourning and sobbing quietly at intervals, sat directly behind the jury box, where she had a full view of the witness stand but was unobserved by the crowd. Mental Condition Not Touched Upon. Not a line of testimony had been brought out by the prosecution touch- ing upon Waite’s mental condition when the district attorney rested' af- ter Mrs. Horton had finished her story. Several alienists were in the court room, however, waiting to be called in rebuttal. ‘The defense, it is expected, will open tomorrow in a vigorous at- tempt to prove that Waite was insane when he committed his erime. How Mrs. Horton Met Waite. Mrs. Horton, with a trace of sadness in her voice, first told how she had met Waite last January when she was singing in a New York theatre. He was gentlemanly and kind to her, she said, and they struck up a fast friend- ship. Waite was interested in her voice and later inquired the name of her vocal instructor. “He said he would like to take vo- cal lessons himself,” she added, “and I introduced him to my teacher.” Waite “Insisted” on Paying. Mrs. Horton then told how she and ‘Waite had studied modern languages and music together, for -which Waite, “insisted” on paying; and finally of the rental of the “studio.” Mr. Brothers aid not appear to be concerned about Mrs. Horton’s ex- planation as to her relations with Waite, further than: establish the fact that they studi together -and engaged the “studio” under the name of “Mr. and Mrs. Walters.” All he asked after she had admifted that she shared the studio with Waite was “Did you and 'Waite ever portray the ters of Romeo and Juliet?” " replied Mrs. Horton. “We !i%gly studied in the apartment.” cross examination Mr. Deuel - the question for Mrs, Horton framed in this way: Relations Purely Platonic. “Your relations with the defendant ‘were - purely platonic, were they not?’ “They were,” answered the witness. “When did you go to the apartment with the defendant?” the_afternoon.” - was his demeanor?” “He was always gentlemanly and kind.” choly ?* “Yes, when I played or sang.” “Describe his actions.” “Why, he would cry like a child.” “At other times how did he act?" “Very boyish.

Mrs, Horton admitted that she and Waite shared a_“studio” apartment a fashionable local hotel ‘quite two weeks,” “spent albout one hour a day there.” “Did Waite ever say anything to you about his father-in-law, ‘John ~ E.

When he returned to New York, and after he had been apprised that he was ssupected of the murder of Mr. Peck, Waite met Mrs. Horton, she asserted, and complained of not being able to He gave her some money and ed her to go to a drug store and buy some tablets for him.

Mrs. Horton said that was the last she saw of Waite before his arrest. ‘Mrs. Horton told of receiving two other letters from Waite after his ar- rest. In one she said Waite wrote about “the man from Egypt,” which he described after his arrest as the evil influence working within him. “Did you reply to Waite's letters?” “What did you say?” said something about waiting for forty years, I think. Would Aid Waite. On_cross examination Mrs. Horton told Waite’s counsel she not only begged to see the prisoner, but that soon she would be earning consider- able money from her art and sha glad- ly would use it to aid Walite. ‘Asked what she had done with the letters she received from Waite im- mediately following his arrest, when he was confined at Bellevue hospital, Mrs. Horton said she had destroyed them.

TALK IN COMMONS (Continued from Page One) stantinople fell or until the unknown obiigations to allies were fulilled, the country ought to be told what those obligations are ,and if there were no essential differences between and Great Britain, and no such obli- gations, the government ought to take the earliest opportunity to press for a termination of the war. Allies Bound by Common 'Obligations.: Sir Edward Grey in replying pointed out that his interview contained no new declarations. He had no preparedq speech or statement to make, but he said if he thought the German gov- ey | ernment - or German opinion had reached the point where the allied governments could bring a peace com- patible with their desires nearer by making speeches about peace, he would make dozens of them. But, the foreign minister added, that time had not yet arrived, and the allies were bound by common obligations not to put forward any terms of peace except by mutual agreement. Attack on Government’s Diplomacy. Mr. Ponsonby in the course of his long speech made a strong attack on the governments’ diplomacy. He said the peace of Europe would depend on the capacity of statesmen for survey- ing the great problems in a broad Sbterized British diplomacy i the past actert: Ip] ‘the past constituted the real danger. The gov- ernment must recognize that the war reached a deadlock and at the same time the superior position of Great Britain must also be recognized. The latter was due to the spirit and valor of the people and not to en. ‘The speaker said he ho ped the statesmen were not going to imperH the situation by delay and inaptitude. Nothing had helped Germany more than the extreme jingo utterances of responsible statesmen. They had en- abled Prussianism to keep Germany together. Mr. Ponsonby said recrim- inations :nlllt cm‘. li‘; e%x:‘arderqd 1 wanting in respect for the British peo- ple for the ministers to disregard par- liament and adopt the American press as a platform. ‘The war would never end, Mr. Pon- sonby continued, if Great Britain wait- ed until Sir Edward and Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg (the German im- perial chancellor) as to who ‘was responsible for the, war. Had Germany refused to restore Belgium, evacuate France and Serbia, and form an independent Poland; -had fused to agree to form an international council to maintain Buropean peace, Mr. Ponsonby asked. If she had re- fused these things the country ought Etiquette Should Not Stand in the Way “We ought not to allow diplomatic etiquette to stand in the way of taking the lead definitely, openly and boldly to bring ihe_nations back and peace,” Mr. Ponsonby conciuded. Ramsay MacDonald, labor member for Leicester, supported Mr. He declared that peace was a political and not a military p and that it was the duty of the gov- ernment to state the terms on which it was prepared to conclude a peace. Sir Edward Grey in the course of his speech characterized Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg’s recent statement that Great Britain was prepared to to war over Bosnia as “a first class It was impossible, the foreign minister continued, to reason with the German people while they were fed with Iies and knew nothing truth. The real reason for the pro- longation of the war was that the German government was continually telling the people that they were win- ning the war and that the allies were iten, Sir Edward here made the declara- tion that the time for yet arrived and that the entente allies were under obligations not to act sep- arately “on peace terms. He added hat if any of the allies had a right to 'h regard to peace at the present moment it was France, on whom the concentrated fury of the German attack had been thrown. Re- buking Mr. Ponsonby for making no allusion to Verdun, Sir Edward said: “Through the long battle of Verdun France is not saving only herself but her allies as well. right to speak about France, and President Poincare has I believe, it is the duty’ of diplomacy to maintain the solidarity of the allies and give the utmost sup- port to the naval and military meas- ures which are being taken by the allles in common to bring the war to a stage it has not yet reached, and in which the prospect of maintaining an enduring peace will be with the allies. “Mr. Ponsonby has hardly seemed to realize that we were at war. “I care not how often I say {it, this war could have been avoided by ac- cepting a conference. conference not there was no good will” Sir Edward then referred to the previous Balkan conference -as of Great Britain's good faith conferences and added: “I only wish the German and Aus- trian governments had published the reports of their ambassadors as to the Great Britain played at that conference.” If anyone has a Why was the Because iR ‘ué
