THE‘AWILLIS lRIAL
Mrs. Lambert Swoons While
Relating the Story of
the Murder.
Damaging Testimony Introduced Against
the Accused by the State,
It took four hours of the hardest
kind of work to select a jury in the
case of Benjamin Willis, charged with
at Wilton, December 17 last. Of the
58 men summoned on the regular and
special panels, 54 responded to Clerk
Haviland’s call. When the court ad-
journed at 4 o’clock all but two of
them had been called to the witness
stand and questioned. Twelve men
were secured satisfactOry to both pros-
ecution and defense, unless it might
be that the twelfth juryman, Simeon
Pcase, of Fairfield, was not entirely
satisfactory to the defense. He went
on the panel, however, for Attorney
Lynch, counsel for Willis, had exhaust-
ed his 20 peremptory challenges some
time before. The state challenged
about 12 men, and the other ten were
excused by Judge Thayer for various
reasons, deafness, sickness and objec-
tion to capital punishment.
The jury as drawn is as follows:
Rufus B. Jennings, farmer, Fairfieid.
John G. Gay, farmer, N ewtown.
Norval Green, farmer, Greenwich.
Charles F. Adams, merchant, Green-
wich. .
William 1. Davis, distiller, Trumbull.
Joseph L. Curtis, farmer, Stratford.'
Moses Sherwood, farmer, Westport.
Frank J. Elwood, farmer, VVestport.
Merlin J. \Vaterbui y, D111 icn.
Henry L. Foote, Brookfield.
Warren W. Bliss, farmer, Monroe.
Simeon Pease, farmer, Fairfield.
_ Farmers predominate on the jury by
a large number. - Several did not men-
tion their 01: upation, n01 was it asked
of them.
The jury was sworn in, and standing
listened to the indictment brought
agalnst the accused. Then Judge
Thayer cautioned them in reference to
allowing outsiders to discuss the case
in their hearing, or to attempt to dis-
cuss it with them. He warned them
not to read the newspapers, and in no
way express an opinion of the case
other than in the jury room. He hop-
ed that it would not be necessary to re-
peat this caution at each intermission.
If anyone offended and persisted in
talking with any juryman about the
case he wished the name of the person
to be reported to him that a proper
punishmentmight be inflicted. Court
was then adjourned until to-day, when
the trial will commenced in earnest.
Willis was brought into court be-
tween Sheriff Hawley and Deputy
Sheriff Plumb, and was at once com-
manded to stand up. The prisoner
wore a dark brown suit and black tie.
He stood erect and glanced nervously
about the room during the reading of
the indictment, apparently hearing
little of the mass of legal verbiage con-
tained in the instrument charging him
with murder in the first degree. The
indictment also charged assault upon
Mrs. Lambert and burglary. The
reading consumed about fifteen min-
utes, and at the :éonclusion Willis an-
swered in a firm voice “Not guilty.”
To Clerk Haviland’s inquiry, Willis
said that he was-21 years old Jan. 1,
1898. .
Mrs. Lambert arrived at the court
house about2:30. She was accompanied
by several friends. She was atti1 ed in
black and wore a. long veil.
Willis’s mother, who is known to the
authorities simply as Madame Louise,
“as in town and visited the court house
but did not have a chance to interview.
her son. Brockhaus’s relatives were
not present but it is expected that his
brother will be at the trial to-day to
watch the proceedings. His father
and mother reside in New York.

school teacher, who was murdered at
. Wilton on the night of December 17
last, told the story of the awful affair
to the court and jury at the trial of \
Benjamin R. Willis Wednesday morn-
ing.
It was an impressive moment when
she looked straight at the youthful
prisoner, and said she recognized the
voice of one, of thedmen as Benjamin
the murder of David S. R. Lambert, i
Willis, and she almost spoke his name,
although the black mask over his face
prevented her~ seeing anything of the
man’s features except his small dark
eyes.
The witness swooned during the
ordeal of cross-examination, and the
court was obliged to excuse her until
afternoon.
All during the story of the crime,
Willis sat unmoved. He was conscious
that many of the eyes in the court-
room and especially a. portion of the
jury, were fixed on him and this fact
made him a trifle uncomfortable. At
times he would shift about in his chair
rather nervously but. would instantly
regain his compcsure. He was neatly
attired and wore a huge pansy
his coat front. He chatted with Dep-
uty Sheriff Plumb freely during the
session until after the examination of
Mrs. Lambert. Then he seemed more
dejected and contented himself with
frequent consultations with his coun-
in
sel. When Mrs. Lambert identified
him, he looked her straight in the
face.
The state opened the case by placing

asked me when he was coming home.
I told him I did not know. I could not
move. I was terrified.
“One of the menwho had done all
the talking came alone up to me and
looked me straight in the eye. I could
not move. I saw that the eyes were

“But the man who had been taking

Here Mrs. Lambert described by the
plans the position she was in when they
attacked her. Continuing she said: 1
“Then for the first time the other
man spoke. He said: ‘Why don’t you
do it the way I told you ? ’ He then
brought the chloroform and despite my
struggles they put it over my -face. I

found myself on the floor where I fell
with my hands tied. I managed to get
my thumb loose and finally loosened all
the ropes and got free. I got up and
saw my husband lying on the floor in
the same room. I went up to him and
found that he was alive. I bathed his
face and did what I could for him.
Then I went out to Mr. Beers’ house
and gave the alarm.”
Witness was then asked to describe
the room where the men attacked her
and also to tell about the different
bureau drawers and other drawers,
whether they were locked or not. She
told in detail all about it. She also
told of what was missing from the
house after the robbers left. Her hus-
band’s gold watch was gone and one
which belonged to her was stolen.
Some articlés of silverware could not be
found, together with other little trink-
ets of value.
A gold watch was introduced and
Mrs. Lambert
identified it as her husband’s:
marked as an exhibit.
This ended the direct examination
and the witness, who had been most
dramatic in giving her testimony, pre-
pared herself for the cross examina-
tion. '
She was asked whether she looked at
the clock just before the men came in.
She said she did not.

she was asked.

This question seemed to affect Mrs.

a moment later she fainted away. A

was excused until two o’clock. She ap-
peared very much affected and it was
some minutes before she could walk.
The following witnesses were rail-
road men and identified Willis as hav-
ing taken the train at South Norwalk
on the night of the murder.
Conductor XVarriner, porter Harts-
horn and telegraph operator Stevens
all recognized Willis as having been
on the train, Stevens having occupied
the same seat with him.
Herbert S. Ogden, a. brother of Mrs.
Lambert, testified to calling at the
Lambert house on the day following
the murder. On the following Sunday
while there he found three bullets im-
bedded in the north door of the dining
room. These he extracted with a pen
knife, and, wrapping them in a piece
of paper, gave them to Town Clerk
Henry Chichester of Wilton. He tried
the holes made by the bullets with a
pencil and found indications of a down-
ward course. The bullets were shown
in court and identified by Mr. Ogden.
The next witness was Leroy Patrick
of West Norwalk, who on the evening
of the murder was walking on the road
between the Morehouse and Thompson
residences on the VVinnipauk road.
He saidv “I saw a wagon approaching.
It was about 6:45 o’clock. The team
crossed the road at an angle. I heard
a noise like stone falling from a barrell
and some one said, ‘D—n it, why did
you let that drop ? ' Then I heard
something fall in the roadway. I
went on and the team finally passed
me. I saw two men in the wagon and
one appeared to have a light overcoat
on. Somebody said: ‘Get up, Dolly I ’
and the team d’féfippeared. ”
The“ cross-examination brought out
nothing new. On the re-directed the
witnéss saidthat lie heard of the affair
later and went to the Lambert house,
but did not discover anything. He
met Mr. Lambert previous to the shoot.-
ing at Templeton’ 5 store on the way
home. ‘

If any Norwalk Mother Has
Looked For This, Fol-

Wherever we go and among all class-
es, we find children suffering from
weak kidneys. The intelligent mother
knows that this is not a habit and
searches for a. remedy. It is something,
very hard to cure, and the family phy-
sician tells her that the child will out-
grow it in time. Sometimes they do
and sometimes they do not. In the
meantime, annoyance and embarrass-
ment is the result. If anyone knows a.
remedy. is it not an act of charity, is it
not a duty to make it public ? Should
selfishness or pride keep it concealed ‘9
Mrs. Nellie Dunn, of Winter & Fourth

Kidney Pills in her family and makes
the following statement for the benefit
of anxious mothers and the relief of in-
1131 esting little children. Mrs. Dunn
lidys:
‘I have a little boy of eleven vsear
of age: that 11 as vcl y much troubled
with weak kidneys. When he was six
years old he would go in bathing, fre-
quently and remain in for a long time.
That was when I first noticed any dif-
ficulty with his kidneys, but he got 3
that he would wet the bed every night.
I have taken him up at eleven o’clock,
but it would occur two or three times
before morning. This caused me any
amount of work and I was not strong,
besides, I knew that it should not be
neglected, yet we got nothing to re-
lieve him. Finally, I read somewhere
that Doan’s Kidney Pills would pre-
vent such occurrences, and I procured
them from a drug store. They have
really been the means of strengthening
the kidneys of the child, and prevent-
ing the nocturnal urination. I am very
grateful to Doan’s Kidney Pills and I
heaitily recommend them to any
mother having a child so afflicted.
They will relieve the mother of an

much embarrassment, besides pe1f01 m-

pievent it from growing up with weak

When a South Sea. Island mother
wishes to chastise her child she sel-
dom resorts to slapping and slippers—
ot course she has none. ,
Instead of using the forms of pun-
ishment customary among civilized
mothers, she pulls the child’s hair and
bites some part of the body, generally
the fleshy part of the arm. .
In wandering about the villages one
sees many children having on their
bodies scars produced by wounds in-
flicted by their mothers’ teeth.
When a mother wishes to caress her
child she deftly draws her thumb
across its eyebrows or cheek, or gen-
tly seizes its cheek between her teeth.
