(Special to The Bulletin.) New London, July 2i.—The law of capital punishment by the antiquated method of hanging still prevails in ithe Nutmeg state, but so modified that public hangings are doinss of the past_and now thosp condemned of murder in the first degree meet their death on the gallows within the con- fines of the state prison and onl witnessed by the required number of officials, the officiating clergyman and press . representatives. Should the sentence of the law be carried into ef- fect there will be a hanging in the state prison before the vear ends, .the victim being Amy E. Archer Gilligan, who was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury in the su- perior court at Hartford. She was he proprietor of a sort of home for old people, where the aged were re- ceived upon the payment of. a sum that would insure their care for life. In order to save the expense of thei support, Mrs. Gilligan was found guilty of poisoning a man who was a life member of her home. There were several other cases charged against her. but in the trial she was accused of the death of only one. When the jury brought in a verdict of Guilty, Judge Gardiner Greene, of Norwich, who presided at the trial, was forced by duty and the law to impose the death penalty by hanging. It has been stated in public print that if Mrs. Gilligan is hanged that it wiil be the first instance in the state of the hanging of a, woman. That is not true, for there was a public hang- ing of a woman in New London on the twenty-first day of November, 17 A long time ago, but a fact just the same. This hanging was upon grounds now owned by the Connecti- cut College for YWomen, on the high- est point of what has ever since been known, as Gallows lane, which leads ©ff to The west from the N London highway. The victim Sarah Bramble, the first and the white woman to be hangea in was last New London by order of the law. crime was the killing of imate child on the day of its birth, that would carry w it in these modern times a jail sentence at bes Judging from the disposition of like cases since that time. The hanging was advertised all over this section and people flocked to see it, coming in the early morning afoot and by all sorts of conveyances, and bringing lunches with them, just as if they were to attend a training or a circus. According to oid records over ten thousand people witnessed the hanging, and with the change in population _since then, that crowd must be classed as even larger than that of the usual boat race day, or even larger than that which assem- bled in the city on July Four to see the biggest and best parade ever pulled off here. Sarah<Bramble did her best to bar the public from scrutinizing her in advance of the fin- al act in her Jife. at the execution she declined to hear the rmon pre- pared for her specfal benefit, and as a feature of the hanging. In an old scrap of history is found this saying of a prominent citizen who saw the hanging: ““There, that is the first time a white woman has been hanged hereabouts, and it ought to be the last; especially for a crime that is committed often, T rarely discov- cred. The mental condition of that woman at the time she did the kill- ing, -did not receive proper consider- ation. I never want to see another hanging.” So far as can be learned, Katherine Garrett, commonly calied Indian Kate, was the first person to be hanged in New London. The public execution was on Town Hill, and for 1he murder of her infant child under circumstances similar to those of Sarah Bramble, fifteen vears after- ward. The deed, according to histors was committed at Saybrook about six months previous, but Kate was brought to New London for trial and the execution was ordered to be here. Kate was a Pequot Indian of the North Stonington reservation, twen- ty-seven vears of age. She had been r;ared in Savbrook and well instruct- ed. Harry Niles was hanged for the murder of his wife. November 4, 1807, and it was the third execution for the town. The gallows was erected in the highway at the head of Granite street and history ys that ten thousand spectators covered the adja- cent fields and_ heights. The sermon was preached by Rev. Abel S. Mec- Ewen, pastor of the First Congrega- tlonal church and his topic was on Temperance, it being alleged that the crime for which the accused syffered death was due to_intoxication. Harry Niles ‘was a Narragansett Indian, with a quarter cross of African blood, a large, fine-looking fellow. In tr prime of life, belonging to the Indian reservation in North Stonington. Te had been vell-trained and taught in the family from which he received his name, hut was not proof against the temptation of the white man's fire water. In a drunken fight with his wife on their way home from market, where he had obtained the liquor, he inflicted blows upon the woman that caused her death. In this case it was an eye for an eve, and a tooth for a tooth. The last public hanging in New London was a Norwich man, Sher- man by name, who, while, savagely drtink, murdered his wife and infant child. The crime was committed in Norwich, but the trial took place in New TLondon and executipn was or- dered to take place in ‘this town. There was no public demonstration on this occasion. The death penalty was inflicted without much notori- fety, in the shadow of the walls of the cld fail, that <tood by the water-side at the foot of the parade, June 18, 1834. Tt was the last public hanging in the town. There seems to be two police partments in New London, the composed of Officers Wooten Cavanaugh, two of the newest ap- pointees, and the_ other is the one captained by Brigadier General George Haven, veteran soldier _and police offices. Both are in the direct command of Mayor Ernest E. Rogers, who by virtue of his office as de- fined by ordinance, is the chief of police of the city of New London. The mayor seems to have the new men, Wooten and Cavanaueh, some- times classed as Cavanaugh and Woo- ten, on his personal staff, and uses them as a force of his own. Or else he gives them a free hand to do about as they please and without consult- ing the captain or the lieutenant of the pelice force, a privilege not per- mitted ather membors of the force. The two men had hardly got accu tomed to the fit of their uniforms when they raided a place on Atlantic de- one and 1753, When Sarah Bramble Her Child—Other Hangings - strect on_their own account, not even taking their active superior - officers into their confidence. The newspa- pers praised that act and so did the mayor. The police committee ques- tioned the method as a sort of disre- gard for discipline and had a little rt of an investigation, but the in- fluence of the mayor prevailed. Encouraged by this endcrsement of the official chief of police, th same officers furnished a sensational story for a newspaper, a ehort time after- ward, when they made it known in public print that a voung sailor lad and a New London lassie had spooned in a seciuded section of Memorial park. At first it was ‘believed by the dear reading public that a dastardly crime had been committed, and that Officers Wooten and Cavanaugh were on the trail of the perpetrator. It did not take these sleuths long to hit the trail, after the name of the lad nd his whereabouts was given them v the officer in command of a war ship then in the haror. The lad had {been transferred to Newport and {officers went hence and brougit lad back to New London an. prefe red a serlous charge agains. him, and he is held for trial in -1: superior court So far as can be lIrarr the case is not so very seriois after all. It is said that these offic>rs can re- cure cases of like nature and even more serious, almost any old nizht by scouting about the seciuded places The real damaging features of the case is the tarnishing of the name and character of the young girl, and sp. g the heretofore exc~: ».t record a typical young blue jacket of Policemen Wooten ani Zavamaugh are no_doubt the making of asod of- ficers, but their future mayv he marre 1 if they continue on in their inlepend- ent action, with the approvil of the mayor in eve v instance, and. with the aid of the sta*e attornev, whea they do not see fit to bring th> maiter ‘o the attention to the prosecuting attor- {ney of the city uniil afce. the game is " played. There must ~: necossi be apprentices so to spea the po- icce husiness as in almost any other 11 occupation, and the apprern- flnl:: :{m qup:! mor2 of tie busines: than does the forem=2 or ths bace. he does not last very long. That s if the apprentice thinks he has that knowledge shortly after entering upon the apprenticeship. A police depart- ment cannot possibly be efficiant without discipiine, and there can be no discipline, where the figurehead is constantly interfering iwich tne ae- tive heads of the department. Those two police officers seem to be & depariment of themselves and perhaps wve they have reached the zenith of efficiency, fully working overtime to maintain that standard. It is understood that they cover their assigned beats, but do not confine themselves to viola- tions thereon, preferring to spread out and detect crime where it exists in other sections of the city. It is very well known that the police depart- ment of the city of New London is not perfect, any more than is the de partment of Norwich or any otaer nearby ci but it ranks fairly well with the rest. It is the duty of everv police officer to report all wviolations of law that comes to his knowledze, ‘while on his beat or elsewhere. an1 in cases where immediate arrest is not expected. Then the police officer will have done his duty. and it will be D to the captain or lieutenant of poli to do the rest. The people wani re efficient police eervice, and na’> interest in press laudation of who seem to increase he seriousnass of cases for their appare ® svifgag- srandisement. It is well-known that th police officers of the city have bed1 v.arned repeatedly that they will be heli re- sponsible for the failure to report violations of law that comt to their knowledge, but the warning does not bring results, due in_part, perhaps, to the present form of direct police man- agement by the police committee of the court of common council, and with the natural political effect. That there are continuous violations of law in the city the police and the people, and Messrs. Cavanaugh and Woote know very well. and there is frecuent expression against the lack”™ of en- forcement of the law. The fault is evidently not with the regular po- iice force as their action is said t be more or less heid in restraint by the power higher up. as_they would say in Norwich or New York. Per haps_that's a reason why. the Woo- ten-Cavanaugh force is actigg inde- pendently and with results. Aside from the exaggerated park case, these officers are doing very effective work in prosecutinz proprictors of places where intoxicating liquors are sell- ing contrary to law. Therefore, DaF- haps, it is well that there are two in- dependent police departments in the little city of New London. Toliand County WILLINGTON Barn of E, C.

When the people of side are aw the church but one and the country- akened by the ringing of bell at midnight there is interpretation and that is fire carries with it terror to every neart. That was the condition at 1 | Sunday morning when the barn | Edwin' C. Carpenter was discovered to be all ablaze. The family who had just fallen asleep were awakened by the whininz of the fine, intelligent, d very team horse that was loose in ihe stable and had .broken out with scorched mane and a few bruises, but not riously injured. Miss Merserean seconded the call of the church bell, rung by Rev. ‘Mr. Par- ker and Howard Bligh, by telephone calls and the shouts of fire were heard a mile away at East Willington. C, V. Smith was one who was awakened ¢ the light, preceding the call of the hell. and his shouts from his window neighbor, Louwie Morse. amazing how soon the auto- from many localities came speeding in and how soon 150 men or more were on the spot With organ- ized effort there were willing workers enough present to have saved the |dwelling.

It was a large, well built, well preserved, two-story struc- ture that could not be duplicated, tim- ber of the quality not being obtain- able. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. Carpenter, who has practically passed his whole life there. - The place wi be pleasantly remembered by man: peopie as the home where Judze John D. Carpenter and his wife, Mrs. Em- ily Shaffer Carpenter, passed their de- clining vears. The location is sight- ly on the northeast corner of the vil- lage green and the view remarkably picturesque, Mr. Carpenter “Ed”, the oblizing or. der cierk of H. M. Hansen, who every one know: wishes to express his thanks in this way to the many who responded to the call for help and for all the expressions of kindness and sympathy extended to himself and family. Their plans are indefinite. At present the famil are staying with Miss Jennie Church. Had the wind been in the east the Carpenter fire would have inevitably swept the whole north side of the common. Had it been in the north the consequences would have been equally disastrous. It would seem that the oft talked of need of a fire depart- ment might now become a veritable organization with first, second and third head officials to take charge, the first on the spot to be obeyved. With such men as Charles Amidon, Select- man Rubv and G. V. Smith and many others why is the excitement allow- ed to abate without some mova being made toward organization and toward the purchase of some sort of force pump or chemical apparatus. Several have expressed a willingness to share the expense. This suggestion that some move may be mode toward or- zanization is placed in this column by_request, Mrs. E. J. Pratt, Miss Alice W.
