The let- ter which the state police received was as follows: “The police are wrong in thinking that they will find the woman who rid the world of C. Taft in the underworid. I am a respectable wife and mother and that fiend got me to a place for the hire of a well known physiclan and drugged me and ruined me and then left me to get home the best 1 could.” Th letter was incomplete, but the police are working upon what evidence is available. us of Being Health Of- out only ten minutes on in the case of Charles Goldbers tsch.

Kelley a partner. He was recognized as a very able and successful business man anrd his advice on matters pertaining to busi- ness was often sought by many of his friends and alwavs cheerfully given.

All the towns in this section of Windham county are engaged with the final effort on the making and compiling of the military census au- thorized by Governor Holcomb last month. It has been a surprise to many of the enumerators and compilers to ! learn the real assets of each town as mental processes on the question at issue when hc appeared before Judge Woodward in the town court Wednes- | day morning and heard his honor ask “Your name is Eli DeForge, isn’t it?" Eli admitteq that it was; also that he was the same man who was before the same tribunal Tuesdav morning of this week. EUl made a great showing Tuesday morning. He was a sick man, yes, indeed he was; and he had a wife—and children—to support: and he was ashamed of himself for drink- ing—and he would go to his family and get to work so they would not suffer, yes, he certainly would if only given a chance to show that it was really a mistake that he found him- self in such disgrace. And he had never been_ arrested before—and he feit the degradation so. He never ex- pected to be so depressed. And the £ood judge listened to Elf's pitiful plea —and gave him the chance he asked for—and Ell went his way In peace. Tuesday night found him head per- former in a breach of the peace affair at Dayville—and he was drunk again. Judge Woodward did most of the talking in court Wednesday morning— and Eli the listening. Under pres- sure of sharply put questions from the court, Elf admitted that he lied to the court Tuesday when he said he never had been arrested. ‘The judge had been getting some . information about Eli since Tuesday, among oth- er things that the prisoner was arrest- ed from here in September last and that he has been arrested and sent to jfl-l‘lflfrwl the his home town in Flain- ela. ‘Today El is at Brooklyn jall, doing 30 days’ time for intoxication and 180 days more for breach of the peace.
