Told Court That Agent L’Hommedieu’s Rep- resentations Were Misleading. Proseéuting Attorney Carter had a surprise—and a big one it was, too—~fcr Agent S. S. L’Hommedieu of EastNor walk when the case of Fred \V. Trum- bull, the collector for the Stamford district for the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, who, it was alleged, had misappropriated $41.70 of the company’s money, was callediin the Stamford City Court Wednesday. . The complaint had been drawn up on information furnished by Mr. L’Eiom- medien, who, since Trumbull’s arrest. has talked freely about the matter. Mr. Carter asked the Court for per— mission to enter a nolle in the case. The State had relied upon the information given by Mr. L’Hommedieu, but upon investigation it was discovered that he had misrepresented the facts and also the amount involved. “And I might say,”declared Mr. Car- ter, “there may be a question who owes the company most.” Mr. Carter reviewed the allegations in the complaint and the subsequent investigation by him, to the Court, at length, not forgetting to bestow a lit- tle attention upon the N orwalk agent, who kept his eyes glued upon the car- pet during the arraignment, while the glances of those in the court-room were fastened upon him. Complaint had been made to him last Thursday, so Mr. Carter stated. by M r. L’Hommedieu, who alleged that Trums bull was guilty of embezzlement for a large amount of the Company’s money which he had collected. The Norwalk agent wanted him arrested and made to return my money. The Prosecut- ing Attorney informed him that this was not the business of the prosecu- . tion; it would prosecute the case, but not undertake the return of the money. Mr. L’I-Iommedieu felt put out, and re- plied that he would secure the services of somebody else. Later he returned and claimed that the company had in- structed him to have Trumbull arrest— ed. Mr. Carter interviewed the accus~ ed after his arrest. The young man was very frank with him and explained the whole situation. He also since» learned that L’Hommedieu had renew- ed his efforts to bring about a cash set- tlement of the case, and had gone so ' far as to name amounts he alleged the iI Ii l l , daughters, accused had collect-ed in Greenwich and other towns. He had also been informed that Mr. L’Hommedieu had admitted that all of the money collected by the accused had been paid over to him excepting two amounts ($8.22 and $12.21), and that the amount named in the complaint, $41 70, was therefore an exaggeration. It had been the custom of Trumbull to make returns on the 5th of each month. The complaint had been preferred two weeks'in advance of this time, and no emand had been made of the young an until after the said complaint had een made. “After a thorough investigation. I do not believe that a conviction can be se- cured in this case,” declared the prose- cuting attorney. “The young man is honest about it and told me he intends to pay every dollar,” said Mr. Carter. “And I . ight say there is a. question who owes he company the most,” he reiterated, - n a significant manner. Judge Downs readilyagrecd to nolle the complaint, and instructed Mr. ' L’Hommedieu upon a point of law—- j that if he. wished recognition by the , court, it must be in a CNN proceeding. _._._—-——-—4.-o'——~ ~ David Fallon Dead.

Will Leave Flushington For Several Weeks to Regain His Health. WASHINGTON, May 5. —President McKinley has decided to leave the city next Monday and to remain away for two and possibly three, weeks. According to his present intention, the president will spend his vacation at Hot Springs, Va. He is suffering from a. slight attack of rheumatism and is also feeling the strain which has been upon him for months. He is anxious to enjoy perfect rest and at the same time to avail himself of hot baths which will remove the rheumatic tendency. The arrangements for the president’s visit have not yet been fully concluded. but it is likely that a special train will be provided for Mr. and Mrs. McKinley and will leave here at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, reaching the Springs about 5 o’clock in the afternoon. The president and his wife will be domiciled at the Homestead hotel, as none of the cottages are yet ready for company. Hot Springs is only about eight hours' railroad ride from Washington, so that the president can return at once to the capital if any occasion arises for his presence here. During his absence the president will transact only such business as abso- lutely requires his personal attention. SPAIN WANTS A SLICE. Seeks a. Cession of Chinese Land Be- cause of the Abbey Incident. HONGKONG, May 5.——Spain is c01- lecting evidence here with a View of claiming a. cession of land in China as indemnity from the Chinese government for permitting the steamer Abbey to leave Canton last autumn with arms for the Filipinos. The little steamer Abbey was seized by the armed dispatch boat of Admiral Dewey’s squadron on Sept. 23 last. She was of American register, though for- merly known as the Pasig. It was re- ported to Admiral Dewey that she was carrying arms and supplies of war to the Filipinos, and he sent the McCul— loch to intercept her. When the American cutter finally found the Abbey in Batangas bay, on the southern coast of Luzon, the filibus- ter had landed her cargo of arms and munitions, and the insurgents refused to give them up. Thereupon the Abbey was seized and taken by the McCulloch to Manila, in accordance with Admiral Dewey’s desire to maintain the status quo in the Philippines pending the con- clusion of the work of the peace com- mission in Paris. A London Opinion. LONDON, May 5,—The Times, in an editorial this morning expressing the opinion that the United States govern- ment is making very satisfactory prog- ress in the Philippines and can have no reason to grow impatient, says that the action of the United States postmaster general in directing that certain pam- phlets prepared by Mr. Edward Atkin- son of Boston, vice president of the Anti-imperialist league, be taken from the mails is entirely justified by the circumstances of the case. Mr. Atkin— son’s conduct, The Times asserts, is “quite inexplicable because calculated to prolong rather than shorten the war.” Mayor Jones “Fill Be a Candidate. TOLEDO, May 5.—Mayor Jones has announced that he will be a candidate for governor at the next Republican state convention.
