Guilford will make a confession within a few days, in which she shall throw the blame for the death of Em- ma Gill, on a New Haven physician. The confession will claim that the Gill woman came to Mrs. Guilford after having been operated on by the New Havener. The girl pleaded so hard and appeared to be in such a bad plight that Dr. Guilford took her in, ’ and attempted to save her life, accord to the story she will tell. The girl failed slowly, and died. Then came the disposition of the body. Dr. Guilford was frightened. She knew the result if she was implicated in the matter. . The disposal of the body came on an inspiration and a way in which to avoid the penalty of the othesz crime. Whether or not Dr. Guilford‘has any- thing in the line of evidence to prove the allegations is not known. It cer- tainly seems as- if she must have some foundation for her statement, or else it is merely done in desperation. The au- thorities will not discuss the matter. Dr. Guilford cannot be seen by report- ers.’ ° ‘She has not obtained the $10,000 bonds and is still incarcerated in the county jail. There is little chance of her securing the large sum necessary to glve her her liberty. By raising the legal question in the motion to quash the indictment against her, Attorney Kleinmakes it possible to go to the Supreme court before her trial in the criminal Superior court. The case is likely to reach the Supreme court at the January term. The de- fense, in event of an adverse decision on the motion to quash, will then have to go to trial upon the charge of mur- der in the second degree, but will be in a position to avail themselves of any legal opening that may offer for a sec- ond appeal to the highest court. The Guilford case promises to extend overalong period before a final de- cision is reached. -——-—-‘0.0>——-—"‘ ORDERED TO HAVANA. Third Connecticut Will Leave for Cuba Within 1 a Few Days.

THE KING .IS 1111. Jimmy McNally of Green Goods Fame is Released From Joliet. HE IS NOW A CRlPPLE. The Great Confidence Operator Will be Good and Start a Hotel. BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 25.—-—“Jimmy.” McNally, once king of the green goods men, has been released from Joliet prison and is on his way to this city. It was his first conviction after a life-time of successful swindling. He and Al Sloan, of Chicago, were con- victed in a Chicago court- and sen- tenced to three years. McNally, it is said, spent $25,000 in his effort to escape conviction. Ill-luck followed him into the prison. He was on duty as a hallman when two convicts escaped. He was given thirty- ‘ two days in the dungeon, wherehe was seized with paralysis of'tlie legs. He walks now with an awkward shuffle. He hopes to regain his health in Bridgeport, and to get back some property which he deeded, as he says, temporarily to two Connecticut men. The two Connecticut men say that the property is theirs to keep. McNally was the son of a Methodist clergyman. He was well educated, and, though not yet thirty-five, he has “earned a fortune” as a confidence operator. He carried on his profession in Hoboken, and had the‘best organ- ized gang in the business. ' He was one of Corbett’s backers in the fight with Sullivan, and won so much money on the fight that he gave Corbett his former home in West Seventy-fourth street, New York, worth $20,000. He is still a rich man, owning real estate worth $50,000 in that street. McNally was on the eve of retiring when he was caught and put in limbo. He could not resist the temptation. of trying “just-‘0nce more.” He says he will be good now, and his brother Wal- ter declares that he is going into the hotel business. ~-~———<o-o>———-——— REGAN FORCED TO EAT. A Physician With a Stomach Pump Did the Work. BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Nov. 25.— Through the efforts of Dr. G. Lincoln Banks and several jail attendants “Bath Regan, the Ridgefield burglar, had a meal at the county jail. Regan has been in confinement for over a week and had refused to take any food. He has pretended that he was arrested unlawfully and announced that he would eat. nothing until he was re- leased. Sheritf Hawley decided that it would not do to let the prisoner starve himself to death and he decided to give him a meal. Dr. Banks was called in to serve the dish and he .did it by means of a syphon and stomach pump. It. was not an easy task, but it was accomplished and the dose will be re- peated every day until Regan an- nounces that he has had enough and consents to eat the prison fare as it is served to the rest of the inmates.- V The Gazette Wonders.

A few days since Landlord Hamilton of the N orwalk Hotel purchased a turkey, live weight about thirty-two pounds, which he had placed' 1n a cage, at the rear of the hotel. In some way the turkey managed to make his escape on Wednesday, and on being pursued flew to the ridge of a convenient barn.

PRICE TWO CENT s DANBURY’S COURT HOUSE Now a Probability of An Amicable Settlé'ment 0‘ With Property Owners. DANBURY, Nov. 25.—There is now a proba’bilty that an amicable arrange- ment may be made between the Owners of the property adjoining the Danbury court house and the County Commie sioners, by which the county will ac- ‘quire additional land for the new court house. Since the appropriation of money for the new county building, nearly a year ago, nothing has been done because of the inability to buy the land needed. The County Com- missioners began condemnation pro- ceedings in behalf of the county last summer and the matter was to have come up this week. Bradley Currier dz Co., of New York, the owners of the property, have on- tered into negotiations for an amicable settlement of the dil'ficuty, and it is probable the county will purchase at a fair price. The dispute over the land ‘ has retarded the erection of a new building to replace the present dilapi~ dated structure in Danbury. The Weather. Snow flurries and colder to-night; Saturday fair, and continued cold. Badly Scalded. John McCarthy was severelyscalded at Austin’s restaurant. yesterday.

And it boiled to the extent of throwing the can” cover 011 and severely, scalding Mr. McCarthy on his left side, arm, and foot. Mr. Austin, who was standing near by, re- ceived slight, but painful burns. His injuries were cared fer by a physician. ‘ r —At the New York Millinery, 51 Main street can be found a complete selection of hair goods, including switches and front-pieces at $1.50 each.
