MYSTERY
SDLVED!
BRIDGEPORT’S BUTCHERED
WOMAN IDENTIFIED
BY
HER BROTHER.
AN ADMIRER UNDER ARREST.
THE POLICE ARE LOOKING FOR MAU-
RICE A. BEERS A SOUTHINGTON
BUTCHER, AND c. A. PLUMB
OF STRATFORD.
It can now be stated,-positively, that
Emma. Gill of Southington, is the much
sought victim ofthe Yellow Mill pond
horror. Her brother identified the
head yesterday. Superintendent Bir-
mingham says the identification is cor-
rect. Walter C. Foster of Hartford is
now held in the Bridgeport police
station under suspicion of complicity
in the crime.
Charles A. Plumb, J r., proprietor of
the Stratford Fish market, has been
under police surveillance but when the
story of the latest clue appeared yes-
terday Plumb made arrangements to
leave town. By sheer luck he escaped
the police who went after him yester-
day afternoon. Now he is a fugitive
from justice.
Supt. Birmingham, Detective Arnold
and Chief Cowles, of New Haven, spent
Tuesday night in Stratford. What they
discovered is not known, but the object
of their visit was to locate Foster.
The New Haven and Hartford police
had been posted to do likewise and
consequently sharp lookouts were kept.
Detective Walter Smith located Foster
and placed him under arrest on the
charge of complicity in the crime. On
the way to the police station Foster
was asked if he knew the Gill woman.
He admitted having seen the girl and
said that he had talked to her by long
distance telephone. He stoutly main-
tained that he had not met her for
some time. Persistent endeavors on
the part of the police failed to elicit
the desired information.
Detective Arnold was detailed to go
to Hartford early yesterday morning
with instructions to bring the prisoner
to Bridgeport. Curious crowds gath-
ered at the depot Waiting to get a.
glimpse at Foster. He arrived on the
8.40 train and was taken at once to the
police station. He was closeted with
the superintendent and detectives but
refused to talk except to deny the
charge.
In IeSpouse to a. telegraphic 1equest,
Harry Gill, a brother of Emma, visited
Superintendent Birmingham yesterday
for the purpose of identifying the re-
mains. The superintendent and young
Gill visited the morgue together. Care-
fully were the facial features scrutin-
ized by the young brother who broke
down and wept after recognizing the
head.
A mark which had not been noticed
before was discovered by the girl’s
brother. It was a small mole on the
neck on a. direct line with the ear close
to the place where the head was sever-
ed In fact the mole came near being
incised when the cutting was done so
close was it to the dividing line. Supt.
Birmingham asked numerous questions
of the young man to whom he Stid that
he wanted no more Marion Perkins
identifications as they proved a. loss of
much valuable time and money. The
young man was positive and the su-
perintendent was convinced of the gen-
uineness of the identification.
To make the latter circumstance
doubly sure an incident which occurred
at the morgue last evening is related.
Thomas B. Elliott, of Southington, t1.
delegate from that place to the Demo-
cratic state convention, read of the
identification last evening. He resides
just three houses 3.110% the Pratt
household wherein was employed the
unfortunztte victim of an atrocious
crime. In coming and going from
his residence he often saw the pretty
domestic and passed bet on the stieet.
She was of a pleasmt disposition and
would always give a salutation when
=pas sing.
After one glance at the head which
is now incased in 11 jar with a plastei
cast seilel glass he announced that he . c1ash skirt to that 01“..
few things regarding the mysterious
crime. His actions of late are at least
very strange and from the present in
dications he is a fugitive from justice.
Plumb has the well earned reputation
of being a sporty youth. He was al-
ways considered harmless, neverthe-
less.- With the girls he} made it a
point to always out a figure and be
generally succeeded. Not only could
he count among his list girls from all,
parts of Stratford but his visitors came
from all parts of the state as well.
Before noon yesterday Plumb had
the audacity to ask Postmaster Wells
for the letter addressed to Miss Emma
Gill, general delivery. The request
was refused to which Plumb demon-
strated his displeasure by indignant
remarks. Walking to the long dis-
.tance telephone he asked for a. connec—
tion with Hartford. When this was
given him a long and earnest conver-
sation ensued. The upshot of the con.-
fab rather scared Plumb, who Went out
and immediately left for home leaving
the store in charge of a young relative
Preparations for a. journey were has-
tily perfected. A change of clothing
was all that was taken, no grip or
bundle being carried. Without attract-
ing any attention Plumb boarded a.
trolley car and it later developed that
he boarded the train 1:45 for Hart-
ford.
When Plumb was gettiug aboard the
train, Supt. Birmingham, Detective
Cronan and Capt. Cowles, of New Ha-
ven,were driving in the direction of
Stratford. Arriving there they at once
proceeded to Plumb’s home at 9 Pats
rott street. In response to vigorous
ringing of the doorbell a middleaged
woman responded. She said that
“Charlie” was not home and she could
not state what time it would be when
he would arrive.
The team was then driven rapidly
towards the fish market. The youth
was entirely at- sea, according to the
statements made. A search through
the stores along the centre of the city
finally revealed the informatiou of
Plumb’s whereabouts.
A telegraph message was sent at
once to New Haven to apprehend the
sporty youth if possible. but the train
for Hartford had just pulled out of it.
Several other places in town where vis-
ited but what was secured has not been
devulged.
Another party the police are looking
for is Maurice D. Beers, a. marketman
of Sduthington. Beers left his business
suddenly at 12:40 on the noon of Mono
day, September 12, saying that he was
going to work in Boston for the Armour
Beef Company and that he had sold
his fixtures to Armour & Co. of Meri-
den. He had number-less small bills
unpaid and one or two larger ones, but
nothing was thought of this until he
suddenly decamped, leaving the key of
the place with a ha’ck driver at the
Southington station. A boy who worked
for him says that since his departure
he has received letters from Beers
from his parents’ home near Shelton
andthat he has not been in Boston
at atl.
It is known that Miss Gill has re-
quired the services of a livery team and
driver to take her to Waterbury on
several occasions when she invariably
was deposited on the street corner
to go her own way. There are
those in town who connect her visits
there with Beers's movements, who
was known to be smitten with Miss
Gill.
Another speculation in relation to
the unfortunate victim’ s location when
. ldeath came is this: The DJIICB of New
Haven some dtys ago found a bloody

The 11111111111111. Town caucus
Re-Nominates Samuel
Lynes.
The Republican caucus for the nomi
nation of Town oflicers was held in the,
Town assembly roomsWednesday eve.,
and the threatened split between the
first and second districts over the office
of first selectman was amicably settled.
The ordinary counter would say that
there were fully 400 people present,
but the vote later developed the fact
that less than 250 deposited ballots.
Francis Leonard acted as chairman
and E. S.- Adams as clerk.
A motion that the meeting proceed to
nominate a candidate for first select-
man was presented.
J. Belden Hurlbutt asked that the
motion be amended by the striking out
of the word first.
A letter was read signed by E. E
Crowe, committeeman of the Second
Voting district, asking that the nom-
ination for the office of firs t. selectman
be accorded to that d1st11ct.
This was in the line of Mr. Hurl-
butt’s amendment.
Joseph A. Gray spoke against the
amendment, claiming that the Second
Voting district already had more than
its proportion of the offices, and assert-
ed that the first district “had the little
end of it, ’.’ he basing his remarks from
a financial standpoint.
B. W. Maples said that it had been a
long time since he had taken any
active interest in a caucus, and thought
the remarks of Mr. Gray as being ill
advised. He thought that in justice
the claims of the second district ough
to be accorded, and he was fully in
favor of the amendment.
The motion as amended prevailed,
and the meeting proceeded to ballot
for the nomination of. a selectman, but
without naming candidates.
The chair- appointed tellers after
which it was voted that the ballots be
deposited at the desk by each individual
voter.
There seemed to be an idea that
other than Republicans were present
who were willing to cast a. ballot for
some particular candidate.
The chair as well as Mr. Hurlbutt
were inclined to scout the idea that
there was any one present who would
vote other than they intended doing on
election day.
[he result of the balloting was as
follows:
Samuel Lynes, 198
Isaac Selleck, 33
Oscar Raymond, 4
J. Sturges Randall, 1
George B. St. John, 1
A. A. Betts, 2 '
Mr. Lynes was declared nominated,
after which there was quite an exodus
of voters.
The meeting instructed the clerk to
cast a ballot as the sense of the caucus
that William A. Curtis be nominated
as treasurer, and in the same manner
George B. St. John was renominated
as tax collector.
The sum "of $7.82 was collected for
caucus expenses.
Messrs. Robert N. Morehouse and L.
D. Keeler were renominated as con-
stables.
James L’Hommedieu and George T.
Brady were nominated as grand jurors.
The vote for assessors was as fol-
lows:
J. Sturges Randall, 51
W. H. Hendrick, 24
Mr. Randall was declared elected.
‘ The vote for member of the board of
relief was:
Oscar W. Raymond, 30
Jatvis Kellogg, 35
Mi. Kellogg was declared elected.
Messrs. E. O. Keeler and Samuel
Lynes were appointed a committee to
fill any vacancies that might occur on
the ticket.
Marshall H. Tolles was reenominatedli
member of the board of school visitors.
Francis Leonard was nominated as
registrar of the first voting district,
and E. E. Gorham for the same position
in the third district, and the caucus
adjourned.
The ticket as nominated is as follows:

Nominated for Governoi'
by the Democrats.
The Gold Men Rout the Silverites. ‘
The democrats of Connecticut, the
last of the three nominatmg parties
their ticket, Wednesday concluded
their bi-ennial state convention in
Bridgeport after’ sessions which
lasted from 10-o’clock in the morn-
ing until after 1] o’clock at night,
bringing to a close the deliberations of
the most remarkable political con-
vention ever held within the Nutmeg
state.
The gold faction completely routed
the silver element by securing-the
adoption of a platform which totally
eliminated reaflirmation of the Chicago
platform of 1896, and obtaining control.
of the state organization in the person-
nel of the state central committee and
the following state ticket was nom-
inate‘d:
For Governor—Daniel Nash Morgan
of Bridgeport.
Lieutenant Governor—Samuel Bassett
of New Britain.
Secretary of State—Joseph T. Fan-
ning of Norwich.
Treasurer—Asa M. Ross of Thomp-
son. .
Comptroller—Edward S. Roberts of
Canaan.
Attorney General—Levi N.
burgh Of New Haven.
Blyden-
The great contest of the convention
was incessantly fought from the hour
of the meeting of the state central com-
mittee until the gold men won out in a
test vote on the platform preamble. At
the announcement of the result of the
vote the silver men promptly conceded
their defeat and formally gave expres-
sion to their acquiesence to the will of
the majority and announced their in-
tention of Standing on the platform
and assisting in the work calculated to
contribute to the success of the ticket.
The scenes of the day on the floor of
the convention were unparalleled, but
with the main issue of silver and gold
supremacy settled, the convention bo-
came a generally calm, deliberative
’body and carried on the work of nom-
inating candidates speedily and with a
harmony which was almost paradoxical
in its pronounceduess. On all sides it
is held that the party has been tried
as by fire arid with the adjOurnment
sine die at a. late hour the delegates
tion, in three cheers and a tiger for
“reunited democratic party.”
