They Cause Sull- Surpriss Among the

The an nouncement of the suits brought
against George 11. Shaffer, the extensive
oyster grower and dealer, was some
what of a surprise to oystcrmcn in Nor-
walk and vicinity, because they rated
him a man so financially solid that ordi-
nary business troubles would not atlect
him.
One of the suits was by John S.
L‘ilommedieu and William J. Crew, of
Rowayton, oyster growers under the
firm name of Crew 5: L'ilommedieu. for
017,000, on Mr. Shaffer's oyster house
and dock property in South Norwalk
and 000 acres of oyster ground located
off Norwalk, Darien and Stamford.
Another suit was by the Stratford
Oyster association for 86,000, and still
another by Henry J. Lewis for “2,003.
Attachment papers were served by Dep.
uty Sheriff Fenelon on eight oyster plan-
tations oil Norwalk, owned by the de-
fendant, three plots in Stamford. includ-
ing dock property, three in Darien and
two in Westport. The valuation of the
property attached is said to considerably
exceed the amount of the claims.
These claims are for seed oysters and

tensIvo shipper, besides conducting a

A meeting of Seymour business men

They came to this decision upon the in-

the maximum fee at $100. Beacon Falls
charges itinerant peddlers $25 for a
license. The peddlers are to contest the
case and claim that farmers selling but~

THE SHANN TRIAL.
flow Ira. Bits-II Forced John to Drill
Ital! [from a Bowl.
'l‘rtrtxros, Aug. 11.—lu the continuation
of the Shaun murder trial Professor Thro-
dore G. W ormlsy. who holds the chair of
toxicology and chemistry In the medical
department of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. and Professor ifeury D. Cmnwsll
testified that they found mercury in small
quantities in the remains of young Shana,
whom his mother is charged with having
poisoned. After recess Professor Cornwall
again took the stand. He testified that the
poison found by him in the kidneys and
brain pointed to the continued administra-
tion to the patient rather than a single
dosing.
Under cross examination the witness
said the jars containing the organs which
he had tested came to him from the county
physician unsealed. He did not know that
all the books on toxicology laid it down as
a rule that the jars must be sealed, and
even Iii they did it was not necessary in
every case.
The witness was subjected to a longer-
aminatiou on his knowledge of the absorp-
tion of mercury by dead bodies, the effort
of counsel being to show that the mercury
found in the organs was due possibly to
the fact that the undertaker used chloride
of zinc on the body. The witness would
not admit that dead bodies could absorb
poison that way, but if they did it was
not likely that the kidneys would absorb
it to the excludes of the other organs.
Carrie Pyatt, a colored womau who used
to work for Mrs. Shaun, said she visited
the family about a week before John's
death and saw him in bed while she was
there. Mrs. Shana gave John some medl-
olne out of a tumbler. The medicine was
a mixture of stuff taken from two bottles
and a bowl. Mrs. Shaun told her that the
bowl contained ice water. Mabel Shaun
was present. John lay in the bud on the
list of his back, and Mrs. Shaun got into
the bed and fixed herself sstrldo of bench,
putting her knees on his arms as if to pin
them down. The witness said: ”Mrs. Shana.
don't give him his medicine that way. You
ain't got no spoon. Better raise his head
u ’1!
”That's right. Carrie," John exclaimed;
”don't let them force any more down me."
The witness said nothing and neither did
Mabel. Mrs. Shaun poured the medicine
down John's throat. He had not asked
for the medicine. He asked for water, and
his mother said, "Well, I'll give him his
medicine now." A little later the witness
left the house.
Under cross examination she dcnhd that
she had any feeling against Mrs Shaun
or that Mrs Shaun had discharged her.
She had discharges! herself after telling
Mrs. Shaun what she thought. of her. Wil-
liam Bartine,a drug clerk, gave testimony
the filling of prescriptions for
the Shaun family. and than the court ad-
jcurned.
