Sent toJail For Eighty Days
y Judge Gregory. .
MRS. TANNER TESTlFlES.
Admitted to the Court That She Did Not
Tell the Truth-
George Hussey, a big, strong, healthy
looking man, was this morning sent to
jail for eighty days by Judge Gregory,
for assaulting his wife on the night of
March 11 last.
On the night in question the testi-
mony showed that he came home
drunk, and when his wife came home
from work he demanded money from
her 'which she refused. Hussey then
began to demolish the furniture and
bedding, taking one of the bed slats
and beating Mrs. Hussey with it. He
then got her down and kicked her in
the eye with his boot. _
Mrs. Hussey made her escape and
went to Riggs’ drug store and had her
eye dressed. '
This was on Saturday night, and on
Monday morning when Mrs. Hussey
made complaint, Hussey skipped town,
but came back and was arrested by
Officer Morehouse yesterday.
In giving her testimony Mrs. Hussey
told the court that she worked every
day and supported herself, two chil-
dren and Hussey, and that she even
bought the shoes on his feet, although
he was well able to work.
_ She stated that ever
months after their marriage they had
had trouble over mouey matters,Hussey
wanting what she earned.
Mrs. Mary J. Tanner was a witness
for the state, but she soon confessed
she had no love for Mrs. HusSey, even
going so far as to admit to Judge
Gregory that she testified untruthfully,
which so disgusted his honor that he
- dismissed her from the stand.
Hussey in answer to the charge stat-
ed that he knew nothing about the as-
sault.
In view of the faco that he had
a criminal record, having been arrest-
ed before'on a similar charge, Judge
Gregory imposed the above sentence.

Changes in Statute Made by the Last Legisf Wmsted Man Went toDanbury to be Meow!
and Lost His Money. l
Aftera disappointment in love and l
losing all his money, H. E. James, of
Winsted, started to walk the weary
miles of railroad track that connect
Danbury and his native town. He no
doubt regrets that he ever went to Dan-
bury and was a wiser man when he ar-
rived, foot sore and weary, at his home.
He went to Danbury a few days ago
to marry a. fair trimmer in one of the
hat factories in that city. He had cor-
responded with the young woman for
been accepted, and went to Danbury
to claim her for his own. He had writ~
ten her that he would arrive in compa-
ny with a certain minister from Bos-
ton, but the latter did not appear and
the young woman refused to be mar-
In vain the Winsted man pleaded
with the obdurate maiden. She would
not budge an inch from her position al-
though she confessed that she loved
him. From the time James arrived in
Danbury until Menday evening he was
afrequent caller at the home of the
girl but he could not induce her to
marry him.
He finally became discouraged and
Monday evening went to the Lake for
consolation. There he fell in with
bad company and before the evening
was over, was relieved of all the money
he had, seventeen dollars. He then
started to walk home disgusted with
Danbury and everything connected
with it.

ed enthusiasm, declined to oppose Colonel

campment be given to Colonel Show.
The encampment ‘then elected Colonel

Colonel Shaw had been nominated by

The r ort of the pensions committee,
which as recommitted, with instruc-
tions to the committee to embody therein
the desires of the encampment relative to
the administration of the pension laws,
was again presented and adopted unani-
mously.
Corporal Tanner was with the major-
ity of the committee. He made an ad-
dress scoring the practice alleged to
have been adopted by the pension bureau.
After much heated discussion the report
was referred to the committee on pen-
sions. Later in the afternoon a motion
was made to return to the south flags
captured during the war. This was kill-
ed, as was also a motion to admit sons of
veterans as members of the Grand Army
of the Republic. Shortly before adjourn-
.ment Adjutant General Thomas J. Stew.
art-of Penrisylvania was appointed.
‘ «‘Thc newly‘electcd ofiicers Were install-
ed, General Louis Wagner of this city,
past commander in chief, conducting the
ceremonies, after which the encampment
adjourned sine die.

ed its business by electing the following
executive committee: Mrs. Charlotte J.
Cummings, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Minnie
D. Morgan. Kansas; Mrs. Florence H.
Gates, Vermont; Mrs. Lucinda . Scott,
Missouri, and Mrs. Jennie Ba 1, North

cluding session of the Ladies’ Naval

bration of the G. A. R. encampment were
the illumination of the north Atlantic
squadron and the camp fire of the Union
ex-prlsouers of war, both of which oc-
curred last night. The lighting up of the
fleet drew the large crowds to both the
Pennsylvania and New Jersey shores of
the Delaware river. The ships were fit
erally covered with electric lights and
presented a magnificentpicture. The big
searchlights on the vessels were also in
operation, making the illumination more
cfiective. The cruiser Detroit received
considerable attention from the crowds
by reason of the order sending her to
Venezuela to protect American interests
there. The Academy of Music was crowd-
ed to the doors at night by G. A. R. men
andthcir friends to take part in the ex-
risoners' camp fire. Addresses were

The Little Minister. _
Thetbeautiful comedy by J. M. Barrie,
“ The'Little Minister,” was presented
by Charles Frohman’s company at
Hoyt’s Theatre, last night, to a house
to the top balcony. The parts'were
taken by a fine cast of charabters
throughout. “Lady Babbie ” as taken
by Adelaide Thurston was delightful.
Miss Thurston seemed to have grasped
the character, throwing her bewitching
personality into it and charming her
audience with her fascinating impul~
elveness. Ira Hands as “Gavin Dis-
hart,” the Little Minister, was excel-
ent, ,and the manner in which he
succumbed to the charms of the
Gypsy B'abbie won the admiration of the
audience. The scene of the play is the
celebrated Thrums, in Scotland, and so
much of the congregation as appears on
the stage is truly amusing. The parts
of “Nannie Webster” by Mary B.
Henderson, and “Thomas Wharmond ”
by Francs Powers, were also worthy
of mention. The whole comedy from
first to last was replete with interest.
Manager Hoyt should be congratulated
for his enterprise in securing so fine an
attraction.
Vitagraph Exhibition-
The American Vitagraph comes to

exhibition in the Grand Opera House,
last evening, went far ahead of expec-
tations. There have been so many
moving machine exhibitions that have
lacked merit that the public have sort
of lost faith in them, but there need be
no fears about the vitagraph; it is the
genuine article, and the exhibition is
worth every cent it costs and more, too.
It will be repeated to-night, and none
should miss it.
