North Stonington, Feb. 9. — North Stonington is wrought upffover the vari- ous conflicting stories that are being circulated aboui the shooting of Otis Morgan of the North Stonington road on the afternoon of Thursday, January 27. There is no doubt but that Morgan was shot at a door of a hen house located on lows: the 1and of the Preston family, which ad- The Cafax Family—Col. Calfax. |joins the place occupied by Morgan. As Charles Erwin, Sr, Mre Calfax, Mrs, |stated by Mrs. Morgan, John Preston and William Crowe, Jr.; Caroline, Miss | Miss Charloitc - Preston, Morgan was taken to his home after the shooting took place by two men who were at work on the g state highway. Mrs, “uc'gan states emphatically that her husband went to the Preston hen os0p in search of two White Leghorn roosters which had disappeared from his place. She says that once before Mor- gan lost some hens. On the Thursday afternoon he was shot, he had just open- ed the outside door of the hen house when a gun went off and the bullet struck Morgan in the hip. This guh had been there for years, she savs. According to Miss Charlotte and John Preston the shooting occurred on Thurs- day, Jan. 27, while they were in Wester- ly and the other Preston brothers, Fred and Arthur, whe are blind, were at home. John Preston claims that he set the gun in the hen house the uight before Mor- gan was shot and hal intended to re- lease the trap before guing to Westerly on Thursday. According to Preston, the 44 calibre rifle was placed back of an inside door of the house. The butt of the gun restcd upon a stick which had been cut out to hold it and another stick held up the barrel of the riie. When the rifie went off ,the bullet passed through a chicken netting and the henhouse door, which doubtless accounts for the bullet being flattened. Otis Morgan, who is being treated at the Backus hospital in Norwich is report- ed to be making satisfactory recovery. His condition was first considered seri- ous when poisoning set in the found and it was feared that it might be necessary to amputate his leg, according to Mrs. Morgan.

The discovery of the painting was made several years ago by a Norwich man interested in the old masters, but who was unable to get possession of it until Tuesday. The painting has hung in a storage room of a New London an- tique dealer, unappreciated for many moons, until discovered by a Norwich man who resides on Breadway. As to its being a genuine Daniel Huntington, there is ne doubt whatsoever for the history is easily traged and veri- fled at all points. The question is wheth- er it was painted upon Humtington’s re- turn from Europe in 1839 or whether the painting was made in the early 50s. The painting was_originally made for. Jsrael F. Brown of New London, founder of the Brown Cotton Gin company, and it was his daughter, Mrs. George Colfax, who sold the painting to the New London an- tique dealer without realizing its worth. “Mercy’s+Dream” is one of a“series of paintings that Huntington did to 1ilus- trate Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, and is considered to be one of his best works. This series was flone shortly after Hunt- ington's return from Rome in 1839 and during the painting of this series his eye- sight failed him. In 1844 he went back | to Rome, returning to New York in 1345, and took up portraft painting, although he did many genre, religious and histor- ical subjects. As far as known, until the recent discovery, there were only twe of “Mercy's Dream” in existence, one, claimed as the original, in the Corcoran gallery, and a replica in the Pennsyjvania academy. Now the question is whether the recently discovered “Mercy's Dream” is of the first series painted upom Hunt- ington's return from Kurope or whether it is one that was painted after his ond return from Rome in the early '50s. The fact that the painting is much smaller than the two known paintings and that under strong light there is evi- dence of parts having been painted out and then repainted, and its known his- tory, would lead one to believe that it was a first study. The painting, whether a first study or whether a r Dlica, is one of magnificent deauty, a beauty that grows upon one. The mass work is wonderfully done and the sunset glow in the distance shows long study of the afterglow effects. The two figures, Mercy asleep in her solitude and the an- gel that came to her and placed a crown upon her head, are wonderful studies in figure proportion and grouping. The, textures of the garients and the texturd of the skin of the figures are done by none other than a master hand. Aside from the mere technicalities of the brush work, the whole story of that passage in The Pilgrim's Progress where Mercy dreams is portrayed with a feeling that leaves a lasting impression on the mind of even the casual observer. Among Huntington's paintings, all ef a date after 1850, are “The Florentine Girl,” “Parly Christian Prisoners” “The Roman Penitents,” “Republican Court in the Time of Washington,” eon- taining 64 careful portraits (1861), “Juliet on the Balcony” (1870), and “Goldsmith’s Daughter” (1884 His principal portraits are President Lincoin, in Tnion League club, New York; Chan- cellor Ferris of New York university, Sir Charles Eastlake and the Earl of Carlyle, the property “of the New York Historical society, and President Van Buren, in the state library at Albany.
