Burned to Death.
A little boy about three years of age, can of John I

seriously burned on Sunday evening, weak, that he died
almost itnrnediaiely. His mother had left him but for
a few moments, playing with the other children. to go
to a neighbor’s, and on her return found his clothing
nearly all burned from his body and the little sufferer
holding himself up by a chair, which had also taken fire
from his burning clothing. iii.-1 little body is said to

About two years ago, lir. Ixcausu Auto’ of this town.
brought an action against the New York; & New Haven
R. R. Co., for compelling him to leave the cars. on his
return from New York tolforwalk on the Sunday night
train. I: Allen was a commuter and was accident] y
left in the city on Saturday night. Supposing that
he had a right to travel on all passenger trains by vir-
tue of his commutation ticket, he entered the Sunday
evening train and had progressed as far as lit. Vernon
station, when he was called or. to pay his fare This
he refused to do, showing his ticket. In Consequence,
he was compelled to leave the train, and brought suit
as above stated. .'I‘ho Company defended on the ground
that the Commuters had no right to travel on thesuxi
day evening train. _ .
Last week the R R. Co. suffered judgment to be rsn_
dored pg-ainst them by defa.ult,ths damages ‘.0 be assess.

THE CASE 0!‘ ,MR. BRIGHAF.
On the morning of Thursday, the 6th
of the present month, Mr. Frederick B.
Brigham was arrestgd,at the depot at So.
Norwalk, by officer Finucy, on a charge
of attempting to murder his wife by poi-
eon. Upon being brought before J usticc
Hubbell, on the same morning, the pre-
liminary investigation was postponed to
Monday, January 10th, and a bond of
$2.000 was required, failing to procure
which, the accused was committed to jail
at Bridgeport. .
On Monday, the 10th, he was brought
before Justice Hubbell, pursuant to the
adjournment, and the examination was
commenced. Mr. Ferry, the State’:-1 At-
torney for this County, and A. B.W’ood-
ward, Esq, appeared on behalf of the
prosecution, and Charles Haivley, Esq,
of Stamford, appeared for the defence.
The complaint charged, in different forms,
the attempt to administer poison, and the
actual administration of poison, with in-
tent to murder. The penalty for the for-
mer offense may extend to imprisonment
in the State Prison for five years, and for
the latter is imprisonment in the State
Prison for life, or for not less than ten
years- The poison alleged to have been
used was arsenic.
The‘ accused, in a firm tone, pleaded
Not Guilty. The first witness was Mrs.
Jane Brigham, who testified as follows :
nus. JANE BRiGHA.\i’S rssrmoxv.
I Married to Mr. Brigham six; or seven
years ago next April. Mr. Brigham was
at home during Monday, day after child
was born‘; ‘birth of child four weeks ago
yesterday, at I to [2 at night. Nothing
unusual in his conduct Monday. Tuesday
he went" to New York, kissed me and
bade me good bye when he went. Tucs-
day night when he came home he met me
in the evening, he came into the room
and rocked Freddy to sleep ; conversa-
tion comtnenced about my sickness with
that boy,born two years agouext March.
Dr. Lyues attended me during confine-
ment, Dr. Purdee had attended me be-
fore. Dr. Lynes was prescribing for me.
He (Brigham) says to me, “ Jennie you
are very smart, if you get on as smart as
this, in one week’s time you will be up
and around the‘ house.” I said “ I am
getting along, and hope I shall get along
better than [did before.” He says “you
will not take as much medicine as before”
He said Dr. Lynes has commenced just
as he did before, giving medicine as be-
fore. I said I didn't take all he left be
fore-—-one kind didu’t answer and I had
to have another. Mother says it was the
medicine thut saved her, sick as she was
she must take something. Mr. Brigham
says I dou’t dispute but that she was sick
aud a sicker permn I don’t think ever
lived. Mr Brigham was vexed, and
said she isn’t going to take as much med-
icine anyhow. Mother said] was get-
ting along so well, I shouldn't need to
take it. I:Ie soon got up vexed, took
the cradle with Freddy into another room
and retired, as I supposed. Next morn-
ing_(Wedncsday) he went to New York
without seeing me. Come home in 6
o’clock train, opened the door and said.
how do you do, Jenny ? went ou., took
off things, came in to get double dress in
closet. I introduced him to Mrs. Smith
(the nurse). He said, how do you do,-
Mrs. Smith, and left. Thursday morning
he went. to N. Y. without speaking,came
home Thursday night, didn’t speak to
me, weut oil‘ also Friday without speak-
ing to me. Friday night came in very
pleasant, said it is very cold here, went
to corking windows, asked what medi-
cine Dr. left here. I told him I was ta-
king drops, He asked me how often]
took them and when it was time for me
to take them again. It was soon. He
-asked me how many drops, I said 25, it
was Dr. McMuuu’s Elirrir. He took
wine-glass , to corner of tnsntlc-piece,
where light was, and dropped them into
it. He‘ came back to the stand under
the looking-glues for the water. Filled
wine-glass about half full of water. spoon
in it,brought it to me stirring it. He had
had a g‘i)ilIei« of water in his other hand,
and Mrs. Noel: took that. He com-
rnenead stirring it, I said mother doesn't
stirir—-the nurse said so too—I drank
it. He went to corner of mantle-piece
by light, and said Jenny, you havu’t
drank it all, here are the settliugs. I
said there are no sottlings. He said
here they are. I said put in some water
and Pi! drink them. He did -‘so and I
drank them. He said how does it taste,
I said as the rest did, Mrs. Nash said
why, you know, Mr. Brigham, morphine,
or nnodyue, or Iandauum is bitter. I
had it down about half an hour. when I,
had this dreadful feeling in my stomach
-—-it was a faint-gone feeling, I was ‘dis-
tressed, and felt as though I must vomit.
I had taken one bottle full of .\'lcMunn’s
Elixir before, and never felt such 1-fl'ec.tI
before. This continued all night.,tlnirsty__
vomited in morning, as I had previously
done. Thought flashed across my mind
that he had put something into that, for
it made me feel just like everything else
he had given me for two months before.
Next day (Saturday afternoon) he bro’t
up a young chicken from Bridge for some
broth. It was prepared, and he brought
it into sleeping-room, (back of this room)
he was remaining there, as I thought, I
said Fred, and be came directly in. It
was rich and I said to mother, who then
came in, she had better phi in more wa-
ter, she did so—I etc but little of it, it
made me sick, just such sickness as from
drops the night before,siekuess continued
all night, was thirsty but couldn't drink.
Next day (Sunday) had oyster broth,
Dr. had given me permission to use it.
Fred brought it in through sitting room,
said as liebrought it in, there, Jenny, I
have forgotten to put poppet’ in, would
you like some? I said I don't know
whether mother will allow it or not. He
took it onuinto sitting room, didu’t go
into kifchcu. He soon came back and
said I thought I would pnt‘some pepper
in it, and then I thought I wonldn’t..
Freddy came in, he said don’t you -give
Freddy any of it, he has had as much as
he can stuff. I said I always give him
some. He said he has euteueuo!.Ig.it, and"
said I out going to feed you. I said I
prefer to feed myself, Fl'i(I. He insisted
and I let him iced inc, I noti'i:'ed that he
took it all from one spot in the bottorn of
the saucer. I n-Jticcd at aifihreut taste
to the oyster broth from wine th.cr_e
should be. _I took some from top at side
ol saucer, and wouldu‘r.,c.1,t any more-—
same efi'ect as f,ro_m chicken: broth, sickness
iastetl during day, but not. bind enough to_
vomit. He broiig-lit in a shell.o<y er, but
I didn't eat it. Mother ill'0ll}..';Ili. in some
toast the next Monday or '-I‘acsduy, and
some teo.nnd set it on stunt! byhcgd ofbed
Mr. Bri,;;imm came in and sat down by

n1otion)_and washed his hand, sat down
on lounge and went to playing with Fred-
dy. I ate a very little of the toast, not
sick. He asked frequentlyubout medicine,
had not been a thing usual with burn for
to/o'montl_Is previous, be bad frequently
wished to feed me, but I,vrouldn't general-
ly let him. Once during the week after
I was confined, second week after. I"
was before glass east side oi room, and
put his finger in -est pocket and appear-
ed to take com}-tiring _betWeen_ lllllmb
and finger, saw me looking at him and
stopped. Once I had eaten something
during afternoon and felt sick, I Wllflwd
Dr. to come, Fred wanted to know If he
conIdu’t do tlieerraud himself as well as
to have Dr. come. The nurse and D!‘-
had better come, and Fred got Dr. to
come. One day, think the day after I
called the Dr., I sent for. some oysters.
After ten, Mrs. Smith, the nurse, szul_l.
now if I had on qster I would I'0ISt-ll
for her. \ He said I’ll go down nnd get-
one. He went and bronchi one and put
it down on this stove, top site" 8" 05'
and loose.
He came in and said_ I’I_n
going to roast this oyster, I said It IS
not a good one and I cant out it. He
says it is a good one, I’m going to_ro-ass
it for you, and you’vc got to out it. I
says Fred, it isn't good, and I shnn’t eat
it, the juice is all gone Ile took the
top shell and threw it clown in ‘the stove,
and put the bottom shell on the coals a
minute, then took it and went out, and
I’ heard the back door open. He came
"in again and said, it was as good an oys-
ter as he ever ate. I said I was glad If
it was, but I thought I should rest better
uitlroutit. The nextdny. I think, he
brought me up a quail from N. Y., and
wanted to dress it. Nurse said she
would dress it, if he would pick feathers
oil‘, he wanted to do it all. Thursday he
came into my room and says Jenny, we
have eggs now, , and wouldn’t you like
some custar_2i. ‘I said I would, h_e went‘
out and told mother’ I was to have some
of the quail for dinner. Mrs. Smith
came in and took off one of the limbs, I
ate it and some toast. Then they b.ro’t
me some custard, I took some of them,
‘soon felt some sickness as before, contin-
ued till about midnight, didn't sleep be-
fore. Brigham says you had better take
some soda water, and I did so, also put
mustard poultice on stomach as Dr. had
ordered before, vomited towards morn-
ing. The night that Dr. was cnIied,I
noticed an itching and breaking out on
back of hand, little’ pimples. Next day
broken out all over, Dr. saw it first
mght, swollen under eyes, continued sev-
eral days, and some yet remain. After
calling quail and custard, towards morn-
ing Brighum came in and held my
head, said it is so strange your be-
ing so sick and reuniting so, and
says to mother, did you notice what
up all I had eaten night and day before.
Friday I ‘had to have some things, and
he went down and brought them up,
went twice, second time when he came
home he came into room with apple, says
.I brought you an apple, Jennie, I have
hrought you and Freddie one. He stood

Mother of Mrs. Brigham, have been

ir, once in 4 h. u 3, had be-u inking it
since Monday or Tuesday following her
r.-ouiinement. I think she took it in that
way one or two days, and then it was
changed to once in six hours. One‘! in

take it, evening, Brighutn asked her ivhnt.
medicine she was taking, she told
him lhe Drops, I heard her say it
when pu ing outer. door. I heard her"
any it was about tinie to take them ; He
says, “ I’ll drop them for you.” I went‘
iuto kitchen to prepare supper, I knew
nothiugmure of‘ drops until she had ta-
ken them down some half hour. Site
says, " Mother, I am dreadfully distrcssogl
at my stomach,” I asked what. the distress
was, he says, “ it is a faint, sick, deatlil
ly feeling.” This continued all night.-‘
lu the mornin,«_r, when we firsvgot up,‘
she asked me to lring by‘ the bowl, suiri\
‘site was afraid she should vomit. Threw
up a very little, looked like crackers and‘
ten. This was Friday lIIgl_li-,(l\'IlPlI drops
administered) sliohad never been lick with
drops to my knowledge before. Cook-
ed ‘chicken Saturday. Brigham got i-'.
picked already I think, and I made broth
for supper.
chicken broth, for her ‘to cut, can't-any
who brouglntit. out, whether B or nurse,
but it was brought out. I was in kitch-
en preparing supper,’ she‘ was sick from
tlucitime of her taking the drops. Thi.-2
was Saturday night she was not as sick
enduring day, but sick.‘ Brigham was
athome Saturday and Sunday, taking
care of Freddy, Sabbath morning’ she
had some oyster broth. ' I cooked the
oysters for the family, he brought me a
saucer, and said he would carry it in to
her. He dipped the broth from the slew,
pan, he broke in a cracker, undtook it in-
to the sitting room, and as Isupposed, to
her. I heard him say, “ J ennic. I forgot
to put in any pepper ” Didu’t come back
after pepper, soon brought out broth,nnd
said she hadn't eatmneh of it, pcrlrups
she would eat more of it during the day.
She was sick at stomach much as she
was Saturday.‘ I put the chicken broth
and also oyster broth into psnt.ry,I let
them_remniu think until Monday. 'l‘hen
I carried them to dooraud put them in-
to swill pail, noticed oyster oroth looked
rather darker than what we had left, and
looked a little cnrdly—-it separated.--—
Didn’t see anything further of any account,
until I prepared sometoest along in mid-
die of week, and she etc but little and
that was brought back. The t-out was
about time of eruption on her skin. Ilitiu’t
vomit tlien,iwa.-miners when quail brought
about middle of next week,dou’t recollect
anything particular in m airtime except
she loathed everythimr she had relished
before, and it made her sick B. said to
me several times Jennie will never get
well until she can eat more. I said if she
is sick and c:ur't cat, she can’t. I think
ue brought the quail the next Wednes-
day, of the third week, we picked the
quail in the kitchen. I then at _ work,
Mrs. S. opened it, prepared and‘, boiled
it, she put it on stove at first to.-boil in
kitchen, it didn’t boil until she came
out and said I have salted this water and-
will turn it of, as Mrs. B. prefers. to salt
it herself, B. was standing by,.ncar stove,
she turned water 03', I‘IIlaId_ chicken and
out other water to it, ‘carried it into
"Jane's room and there cooked it. One-
tard was prepared some day, B. says
wouldn't J euuie like as custard as we have-
plenty of fresh eggs, [said I didn’t know,
he could ask her. Ha I went _ intorlier
room, came out, said ‘ she thought she
wonld like one. Imnde one and put it
on kitchen stove to ,_boil, he thought I
had better bake it. -"I told him no, is
wnutcci to be boiled, ifs came from other
room nndcante in to stir it. He did
stir it, went back ‘to other room, soon"
came again and stirred it. I told him
there was no need for him to_ stir it.-—
I was there and could'*tuke care of cus-
tard Vmysclf. He went out and came
back and stirred it. I took chair, sat‘
down by stove and told him I would take
care of it. He didn't come again till
done. -Quail cooked in J-'tne’s room.
when custard done-I took that in, she
was then taking her dinner, the quail, I
asked her if she would have some of the
custard, she said she would, I dipped
some out into the saucer for her and I
left the room. Quail and custard after-
wards brought to me in kitchen and I
took them into pnntry,the_yremuined there,
Idon’t know but I carried them there
myself,-think I did, remained there till
Saturday morning, I think. Before this
when quail cooked B. said to June in my
hearing, if any was left he would like to
taste of it, she tasted of it but once, I
asked her Saturday morning what I should
do with quail and custard, she refused to
eat more. she said Fred wished to taste
of it, if,any left, she and Fr-ccldy could
have quail and custard both,I told B. of it
Saturday moruimr, and he said he would
perhaps have it warm for dinner, I told
him Iwould warm.it. At noon asked
him if I should warm it, he said no, he
said nothing about eating custard. She
was very sick the day she ate quail and
custard, after eating them, didu’t vomit
till Lest morning, very sick all wftcruuon
and e_i-eniug, could take nothing but cold
water. B. was in room, she says what
shall I do, B. says why dou’t you apply
the mustard paste as Dr. ordered the
other night, and give her some soda wa-
ter, he said that to me. I did so,,adrnin-
