PRICE Two CENT AN ITALIAN STABBED! JOE CARAVOL'O KNIF ED BY AN UNKNOWN ‘ASSAILANT IN . AROW OVER A __ WOMAN. BRIDGEPDRT, Feb. 24—Short1y after midnight this morning the police patrol wagon was called to Mulloy’s Lane where it was reported that several Italians were engaged in a bloody con- flict. The news quickly spread that one of the number had been murdered. When'the wagon reached Washing ton avenue and Main street, an officer ‘was found there who had two men Joe Caravolo, the man who was stab- bed,aud another Italian who gave the name of Raphael Deposoto and who claimed to be the proprietor ‘of the saloon on the corner of Mulloy’s Lane and Main street. Deposoto, it was claimed, knew of the fracas. When brought to the sta- tion house it was found that Caravolo had two stab wounds, one on the left shoulder blade, the other about the fifth rib, neither of them serious. He could not tell the name of his as- sailant, but claims he lived in the Lane and was an old junk dealer. 7" Deposoto’s story was to the effect that he had closed his saloon a little after 11:30 p. m. and had started for bed when a knock came at the saloon door. , He asked who it was, and some _ one asked to be let in, claiming that: “They want to murder me.” Deposoto opened thedoor and Caravolo entered. He told'Deposoto that he was passing through the Lane when two men en- gaged in an altercation, attracted his attention. He saw they were coming to blows and went over to intercede when he was stabbed. Officer Cerrigan has a pretty clear understanding of Italian and he suc- ceeded in wheedling out of Deposoto that the trouble was over s0me female who was mixed up in the row and in a far off way some baker was mentioned in connection with the row. When asked who the woman was, Deposoto said: “That is my business ” CaravOlo accompanied Officer Fisher to the steamboat dock to head the as- saliant off, if he started that way. Officer Burke covered the Lane, but failed to find the assailant. Some of the inhabitants there claim he had started for the quarry back of Brook- lawn and a search was instigated there. Deposoto accompanied Officer Corrigan for the purpose of indentifying the as- sailant if found. Although he claims not to have known the man’s name and neither did he see the fracas, he said he was able to indentify the man if found. Caravolo, the man stabbed, resides at the corner of Lexington and Wash- ington avenues in the building owned it is said, by the widow of William De- laney. Officer Fisher and Caravolo covered the steamboat dock until 2:10 a. , m., when the Nutmeg State sailed for New York, but the assailant did not attempt to leave by the boat.

Feb. 24.——The Greek colOny which was considerably wrought up by conflicting conditions on account of the murder of Theodoras Manox by a countryman, named Kos- os has again resumed its normal con- dition, but the authorities in their earch for evidence have been con- rented with a lot of conflicting stories y alleged eye Witnesses as well as to umors of frequent quarrels between be men.

Suit Brought Against Bridge- porters By Westport Probate Court. —— JOHN GOODSELL ESTATE. Notes to the Amount of $2,392 Have Not Been Found. BRIDGEPORT Feb. 24,—;Sheriff Doolan yesterday attached the estates of Samuel S. Hunter, Mary L. Hunter, Zalmon Goodsell and Patrick Coughlin for the joint amount of $5,000. The plaintiff is the state Of Connecticut, and the paper of complaint says that March 13, 1886, one Joh'n Goodsell, of Westport died, leaving a will wherein Rowland Bs Lacey was nominated for executor and. trustee. Mr. Lacey accepted the ap-* pointment and gave bonds, the above named persons being his sureties. During the process of the settlement of the estate, Mr. Lacey lodged with the faithful performance of his duties. This was February 28, 1894. That day he charged himself with a trust fund amounting to $5,753,44. Since that date he has not rendered any account as executor or trustee. He did, how- ever. pay to the beneficiaries of the trust, under the provision of the will ' the sum of $286.09, Nov. 9, 1895 which reduced the principal of the trust fund to $5,715,80. Trustee Lacey died March 31, 1898, and David S. Lacey was appointed his executor. July 3, David 8.. Lacey, as execu- tor, rendered an account on the Good- sell estate, charging Rowland B. Lacey With $1,047.08, as income received up to Dec. 10,1896, and also crediting him with $1,047.08 as income paid to the beneficiaries, showing the principal of said fund to be $5,367.88, presented by notes against 3'1. L. Hunter, Eli L. Goodsell and Herman B. Goodsell. July 19,1897, Benjamin F. Squire, of Monroe, was appointed trustee in place of David. S. Lacey. Mr. Lacey turned over" to him notes of the Hunters and Geods‘ell amounting to $3,083.42. He also gave him a note of no actual value, amounting to $1,600. There is now due the estate $2,392 96, with interest. - _ ~ The Probate court of Westport brings the suit to recover, through Judge George P. Carroll. -———<o-o>——~————-— Millions Given Away.

Will No Longer Shield Prominent People at A His Own Expense. Will Harry Oxley, the Southington young man who is alleged to have been implicated in, the Emma Gill case. tell what he knows? If reports aretrue he will. A special despatch to the New Haven Leader which may or may not be acorrect view of the situation , sent from this city says: “Harry Oxley of Southington, the young man who furnished Emma Gill “with money to procure Dr. NancyGuil- ford’s services, was here yesterday. Last fall when arrested he refused to implicate others supposed to be 'con- nected,with the case. It is under- stood that to-day he is disposed to tell what he knows of the case. It should not be inferred that Oxley has at any time sought to shield those responsi- blefor Emma Gill’s death, his reti- cence pertaining to he Southington" end of the story. There it is known that Emma Gill had relations with more than one young man, and that behind Oxley were men—married as well as single—who are believed to be as much, if not more, implicated than Oxley. “ It 15 understood that Oxley is now not' so strongly disposed to shield them at his own expense and that when he goes on the stand Southington l i will. have another sensation. In addi- l tion, it is not improbable that a New Haven physician will be implicated in the case and that Harry Gill, the fath- er of Emma Gill, may have his one desire gratified. That desire is that the one who dismembered Emma Gill’s body, whether Dr. Nancy Guilford or someone else, may have to suffer for the crime. "In connection with the tragic death of Emma Gill comes the story that her death means ithat of her mother, Mrs. Gill, having never since the ter- rible revelations of last September, been a well woman.» Today she is at death’s door, her condition being such that she’will never have to go on the witness-stand. A cancerous trouble, aggravatedgreatly by worry, because of her daughter’s untimely end, ab- solves heii'from having to stand the or- deal of giving testimony against the character of her daughter. “A large number of Witnesses will be served with summons Saturday. Among them will be Harry Foster, the yeast agent and Emma Gill’s lover, who was first arrested for the crime, who was speedily acquitted.” A despatch from Southington says that Detectives Arnold and Cronan were there Wednesday and visited the home of Emma Gill’s parents, request- ed and cbtained an interview with Emma Gill’s sister, Clara. They then called on Lillian Katzung, who was Emma Gill’s most intimate friend, and whom it has all along beenthought knew a great deal about the case. If the police here have learned any- thing new in regard to the case, they are keeping it very quiet and are as mysterious in their movements as they were in the few weeks following the discovery of the unfortunate girl’s dismembered remains in Yellow Mill pond last September. But it may be that they have not been so discreet in the presence of people from outside l places. THE WH EEL CONTESTf Hope Hose Captures Fourth Place and Pioneer A Enters New Candidate.
