" MAYHEVIEUILTY.
The 'case of Theodore Mayhew,
charged with indecent exposure, which
has been going on before Judge Hub-
bellin the town court since Saturday
morning, was concluded yesterday and
Judge Hubbell found Mayhew guilty
and imposed a fine of $25 and costs,
from which decision an appeal was
taken and the prisoner released on $200
bonds furnished by Carl Schaub of
South Norwalk.
Nearly the entire day, yesterday, was
taken up by the examination ofMayhew
who was plac‘ed upon the stand to clear
himself. .
When the first witness for the state
testified she stated that after Mayhew
had insulted her he passed her house
and she later saw him stop and talk
with a Mr. Knorr. When that gentle-
man was placed on the stand by the dc-
fcnse he admitted that he had talked
with the prisoner on East avenue but
couid not tell whether it was on Mon-
day, Tuesday or Wednesday. Under
cross examination, however, he stated
that he left the shop eVery aiternoon at
4:30 o'clock for his home.
When Mayhew was placed on the
stand, he stated that on Monday. the
day of the alleged exposure, he had
been at Linxweiler’s Balcon and
Pitzers barber shop on Railroad Place
during the whole afternoon and had
not been near‘Norwalk or East avenue.
This statement was in corroboration of
his numerous witnesses who had pre-
viously testified to the same effect. On
Tuesday he said that he had not left his
home having been engaged the entire
day in nursing a sick daughter. On
Wednesday he had come to this city.

time that he had been placed in the
lockup but thought it was befire dark.
He also admitted talking With Mr.
Knorr but said it was on Wednesday. I
Mayhew was followed by Officer R.
N. Morehouse, who told of meeting the
prisoner on East-aVenue near the resi-
dence of George W. Cram on Wednes-
day afternoon. He passed him and
after walking a short distance turned
around to Watch Mayhew and found
the latter had stopped and was standing
in the center of the walk watching
towards this city and when Daskam’s
lane was reached he turned again and
found the prisoner had disappeared into
the vacant'lot next to the Gram resi-
dence. Officer Morehouse got behind
atree and soon saw Mayhew emerge
from his hiding place and look up and
down the street as though trying to
discover where he, the officer, we...
The officer then related the arrest
and emphatically said that Mr. Knorr
had not come along, nor did Mayhew
speak to anyone. fletixed the time of
arrest at 4 o’clock. ‘
This closed the testimony and Attor-
ney H. W. Gregory, for the State, ol-
fered to submit the case without. argu-
ment, but to this Attorney John J.
Walsh, for tae defense, would not.
agree. Attorney Gregory then opened
for the State ahi was followed by At—
torney Walsh in a most stirring address
for the acquittal of his client. He went
over the ground thoroughly and his
‘words were attentively listened to by
the crowd in the court room. At times
he became eloquelt and pleaded oas—
sionately for the release of the prisoner
and the restoration of his good nazne,
as far as the court was able to remoVe
the stain that had already been put
upon it by his arrest on such a heinous
charge.
Attorney Gregory in a few words
closed for the state and fastened the
crime on Mayhew beyond a question of
a doubt. He took up the prisoner’s
testimony ,and called the attention of
the court to the fact that on Tuesday
Mayhew could not have talked with
Knorr on East avenue as he was
at home on that day nursing a sick
child; that he 'could not have talked
with him on Wednesday because he was
locked up before Mr. Knorr left his
work. This bell;' the case, it could
have been on nm tiier day than Mon-
day that he talked with Knorr as testi-
fied to by the chief, witness for the
btnte.
Attorney Gregory’s argument was
convincing and J udge' Hubbell found
the prisoner guilty and fined him $25
and costs as related above.
To Attorney Gregory belongs the
credit of Mayhew’s conviction. Seldom,
if ever, has a criminal case in Norwalk
been more ably handled than was this
onb bythe Prosecuting Attorney. His
adroit leading of nearly every witness
for the defense’s alibi to Pitzer’s barber
shop, would have done credit to the
ablest criminal lawyer. In fact Attor-
ney Gregory’s entire conduct of the
case showed unusual ability and fact.

did Captain Benton find that the boar

As the freight was being removed
from the boat, and checked off from

was a tub of butter missing and all
efforts to find it were without aVail. It
was known that it was put aboard oi
the boat before the propeller left N or-
walk, and its disappearance was a prob-
lem that the captain decided to solw
later in the day, and the unloading 0*
the freight was continued.
About this time a member, of the
police force came aboard of the boat
with some empty corset boxes and in-
quired if anything of the kind was
missing. The freight list was looked
over and an inspection made of the
freight when it was found that the con-
tents of a case which had contained
sixty pairs of R. 8: G. courts were
missmg.
'l‘he officer explained that he had de-
tected four men acting in asuspicious
manner near the market. about 100
feet from the boal, and had placed tWo

something like twenty pairs of corsets in
their possession. He had secured furtln—r

JASPER P. NICKERSUN.
In the sudden and untimely death of
the aboVe young and enterprising Nor-
walk business man, our city has sus
tained a most serious loss, while his
family and friends are called open to
hear an unutterable bereavement.
The deceased was a son of the vener-
able Alonzo Nickerson long an active
resident. and builder here in Norwalk.

continued the business in the James
block by himself. Two years subse-
qm-ntly he formed a co-partnership
With William M. Belts and conducted
the business at their present stand on
Main >treet. He leaves a widow and
three young children, the eldest, Mabel
beingastudent at Hillside Seminary.
He was taken ill one week ago to-day,
with as he supposed, an attack of the
grip. Fatal pneumonia soon developed
and yesterday afternoon he peacefully
breathed his last, in the forty-ninth
year of his age. In all the relations of
life he was upright, winning in his
ways, respected, honored and beloved
by all who knew him. He was one of
those industrious, provident and hon-
orable young business men, who serve
asa model in any community where
their lines are cast.

E. Wilson of this city, died at his home

Mr. O. E. Wilson was summoned to
his father’s bedside on Saturday, but
Sunday afternoon as he appeared to be
better he at 3 o’clock left ior his home
in this city, and shortly after arriving
received the sad intelligence that his
father had died in less than one hour
after his departure.
The deceased was an occasional visi-
tor at Norwalk where he made many
friends. “Those who knew him best
loved him best” was never more appli-
cable than of the deceased.
