WEEKLYNORWALKGAZE

 

Two nights before Prof. David S. R.
Lambert, of Wilton, was so shockingly
murdered at his home, a' quartctte sat
at a card table in West 34th street,
New York, drinking and carousing.
At that time and in that place, ar-
rangements for the robbery of the
Wilton schoolmaster’s home were com-
pleted. The persons who comprised
the party were Ben Willis. Fred Max
Brockhaus, Madam Louise, and Caro-
line Carter, a woman of the world, who
was engaged. to marry Willis at one
time. Madam Louise, who was mis-
tress of the apartments, was the mother
of the dark-eyed, erratic Willis.

The awful tragedy at Wilton can
never be forgotten by those who recall
the fiendish manner in which the aged
professor was shot down like a dog,
as he entered his own home atdusk, on
the evening of Dec. 17,1897." Since
then the death of the old schoolmaster
has been avenged, so'far as it' wasin
the power of the law to doso. Whether
it can be called retributive justice or
not, it is a fact that every member of
that quartette who sat discussing the
details of the crime have passed to the
great beyond.

_Madam Louise died shortly after the
execution of her son, and her remains
were interred in Potter’s field. Brock-
haus was hanged at “’ethersfield last
week, and the day following, Caroline
Carter, the last of the quartette, died
suddenly in a. concert hall in the

morgue, where it lay for 24 hours and
not being claimed, was hurried to Pot-
ter’s field, where it was laid beneath
the earth.

A Bridgeport Farmer reporter learn~
ed on Monday while in New York of
the death of the Carter woman and of
Madame Louise. The party who gave
the information had just come from a
hospital, where Eugenia Esposita is
dying. Eugenia was Brockhaus’ sweet-
heart, and her testimony at his trial
will be recalled by those who followed
the court career of the young Teuton.
At that time it was apparent that she
was sickly, and it is said the disease
with which she is afflicted belongs to
the commonly termed incurable. It
seems as if the hand of fate had fallen
heavily upon everyone connected with
the terrible crime.

There Was a sad drowning accident
at Rowayton about .4 o’clock Sunday
afternoon off She‘ran’s coal dock.

Grant Rackett, an oysterman of Row-
ayton, was getting ready to start .for
Bridgeport after seed oysters and his
wife was tosend him a basket .by his
little eight year-old daughter Edna.

Mr. Rackett waited patiently for the
child to arrive, and upon her failure to
do so left his boat and went to his
home after the basket. Here he learn-
ed from his wife that Edna had left
the house some time before, and that
the child had passed him on the way
by taking another street leading to the
wharf.

Mr. Rickett retu med to Sheran’s
wharf and founzl the basket lying On
the deck, but nO‘bl'lce of Edna. He
inquired of the schral oystermen near
the scene. but str tug-e to say - none of
them had seen the little girl.

Firmly convinced that-his daughter
had fallen overboard Mr. Rickett in-
augurated a search for her bodv, but
it was not until 6 o’clock this morning
that Andrew Mills recovered it by
means of several hooks attached to a
line catching in her clothing and
bringing the body‘to the surface.

The little girl probably went to the
dock in quest of her father and in some
way fell overboard and was drowned.
' The strange pm of the accident is that
no one saw or heard her, as nearly
9 every oyster-man in Rowayton was out
making preparations to begin dredging
' and quite a number were near the
wharf all the afternoon.

, With the express from New Haven
due in a few minutes, H. K. Lowden,
signalman of tower 68 on the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road, had to battle with a madman for
his own life and those of many passen-
gers.

In the struggle Lo‘wden managed to
signal for help to a passing milk train,
whose crew overpowered the intruder
and took him to New Rochelle, bound
hand and foot.

Tower 68 is located about three-
quarters of a mile from Larchmont
Manor. between that station and Main-
aroueck. It was shortly after 9 o’clock
Satur lay night, Lowden says, when he
beat d a voice below. ‘

 

Wllll Mlanlln—ll callus lull;

 

The county commissioners 'on Main
day forwardedto Secretary of State
Clark their report for the year ending

of persons confined at the county jail
and the expense of their confinement.
The figures concerning the prisoners
are as follows: Number in jail June
30, 1898, 156: committed during the
year, 1931; discharged, 1:95; in jail
June 30,1899, 192; average‘number in
confinement each day, 19.2.02.

Of the entire number of prisoners
1,605 were white males, 101 were color—
ed males, 202 were white females and
23 were colored females. Of the 1,706
males 110 were under 21 years of Age,

Thinking it was some passing train-
man, he paid no attention to it until
he heard the door fly open and the
sound of some one tramping up the
staircase. Lewden is young and broad
's‘hoir’ld’érEd.

“My first glimpse of the man,” he
said, “satisfied me that he was crazy.
He was frothing at the mouth and mut-
tering something about a woman, and
about his being followed by dogs.

“As soon as he reached the head of
the Stairs I let out with my list and he
went to the floor. He was up again in
a momentand, yelling wildly, started
for me head down. I grabbed a. short
club which I kept handy, and hit him
on the head. We grappled. I forced
the man down stairs and into a closet.
There was no luck, but I slammed the
door and rushed up stairs again. Be-
fore he could get out I opened my key
and wired the train despatcher at N ew
York that I hada crazy man on my
hands.

“The despatches tJlJ me to stop the
express, in bound from New Haven.
which was due to pass in a few min-
utes Before I could reach the signal
lever the man was up stairs and at me
again. I once more fOrced him down
the steps and rushed back t 1 my lever.

He cameright back at me, however,
still yelling that dogs were after him.

“This time I drove him down stairs

@DQRUFSiQEFi}? tower. I heard a local
milk to. ”coast, "as as I'held the
man with one hand-I managed to grab
a. lantern with the min r. The train
stopped and the crew came rushing
over. It did not take long to settle the
fellow after that. The trainmen tied
him hand and foot and loaded him
aboaid. We notified New Rochelle,
and the police were waiting for him
when the train arrived. My shirt was
'torn oli‘ my back in the fight.”
_ Lowden managed to get the madman
out of the .way before the express
passed, and traffic on the road was not
disturbed.

At the New Rochelle police station
the prisoner told the sergeant that his
name was George Gallagher, 30 years
old. of Port Chester, N. Y.

Too Rash. Says Thompson.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—Robert J.
Thompson, secretary of the Lafayette
memorial commission. says he thinks the
people of the United States are making
a rash move to condemn the French na-
tion for the Dreyfus verdict. “The peo-
ple of the United States owe a deep debt
of gratitude to France,” he said in an in-
terview, “and we should show modera-
tion and sympathy at this time instead of
violence. The people of America must
not forget that as a nation independent
of European influence and dictation we
owe all practically to France.”

 

 

Editor Expelled From Church.

RAMSEY’S, N. J., Sept. 13.—John Y.
Dater, editor of the Ramsey’s Journal,
and his wife have been expelled from
the Christian Reformed church, of which
they were prominent members. It is said
that the charge on which the consistory
Of the church acted was that Mr. Dater
spent part of a recent Sunday in taking
photographs of his chickens. The offense
charged against Mrs. Dater seems to be
a general aiding and altctting of her "hus-
band before and after the fact. The Dat-
crs have appealed to the classis and are
going to make a fight against what they
regard as a persecution.
