Last night City Attorney Light receiv.
ed the following letter from ex-Mayor
Lockwood, giving his version of Mr.
Snyder’s connegjion with the Switch
company:
Resume, Pa., June 9th, 1894.
Mr. John H. Light, City Attorney, City
of South Norwolk, Conn.
DEAR SIR: Some one forwarded me
the Evmuzvo Samar. of June 8th, in
which I see the city authorities are try-
ing to “induce" Herman Snyder, Esq., to
incriminate me in his embezzlement.
For the enlightenment of the city, I will
make the f0 lowing statement voluntari-
ly, which can be put in the form of an
affidavit, if necessary:
I was elected president of the switch
company, known as the Fitch Excelsior
Switch company, Mr. C. M. Fitch was
elected neral manager, and Herman
Snyder, q., secretary and treasurer. The
funds of the company were low, I think
the middle of April, 1893, and a small
amount of money was needed to advance
the work. This money was advanced
voluntarily by Mr. Snyder. A short time
, .r'terwards, he told me it was some city
"flax money he had advanced and wanted
treturned promptly. As soon as I re-
..overed from a fit of sickness about the
‘niddle of June, I asked the amount of
ur indebtedness to everyone. and under-
tood it to be about $1,200. I at once in-
. uced William R. Lockwood to buy some
‘ are stock, for which he paid into the
my $1,300, being enough to pay off
all indebtedness an.'a little over. I will
say here, that at no time did I draw any
salary, and had paid many bills myself
with my own money. About this time,
Mr. Fitch resigned as general manager,
Mr. R. A. Baldwin took chzirge of
outside work. To the best of my
recoil tion, Idid not receive from the
-_ inl rof the company, Mr. Snyder,
" m), if that much, after that date.
Mr. Snyder and myself then tried esp.
anter to raise money by interesting
‘ parties in the switch. Mr. Snyder, a
short time afterward, informed me that
he had arranged so that he could meet
the smaller bills of the company, and
from that date all bills except some paid
by myself were forwarded to him, and
what amount or what bills he paid I knew
nothing of until after my determination
toreeign the presidency, and close out
my entire interest in the company,
w lab was some time after my moving
down here. Then Igot a letter from
Mr. Snyder, inclosing notes amounting
wteeoo, I think that was the amount,
payable to himself. requesting "me to
sign them as president before my rc 'ignu-
tion was accepted, which I did, on his
statement in his letter that the figures
were correct. ll» prepared a statement
in Demand :r, 182 l. and it was placed in
the president‘s desk. at 45 Broadway,
but I never examined it. I supposed the
money which he slated was advanced
from his tax collections was repaid. on
the receipt of the money paid in by Wil-
liam It Inckwuml, about the middle or
June, 1893.
I never inquired into Mr. Snyder's fi-
nancial standing, but did know that he
always had ready money on hand. ever
since 1 have known him, and long be-
fore he was city collector, which led me
wbelieve he either had money of his
own, or else good backing by someone
who did have plenty. I wrote him at the
time of signing the notes that I deeply
regretted any chance of lots for him, as
I felt that bed he not had confidence in
the company, on account of my being at
its head, he would not have allowed the
company to get so deeply in his debt.
To judge from the article in the paper.
I made money out of it, Instead, i lost
every dollar I had in the vmrhl, and it
will take three or four years hard and
successful work for me to pay back more
than I borrowed to pay bills of the coin~
pany than I bad. My none are now held
for several thousand dollars that l bor-
rowed lo pay my own expenses and bills
of the company that I did not forward to
Mr. Snyder to pay, as i did not think he
could inlet them. or should meet all of
them. (in bills that] forwarded him, I
marked those that were most
needed to pay, and he then paid
them or not, according to his
ability. I firmly believed in the ulti-
mate success of the company and am
now working early and late, trying once
more to get on my feet and pay off my
debts.
If I am compelled to lose my position
here by the city's trying to implicate me
I shall certainly hold the city responsible
and liable for the loss. If it isan attempt
on the part of the city to coerce me into
making good the money lost by Mr. Sny-
der in the Fitch Excelsior Switch coin—
y, it will be a signal failure, as I
ve not the money to pay, were 1 real-
ly liable for it, nor would I allow anyone
to pay it, for I am not impossible for P1

l'ecle and Incidents Connected with the
Early History of lerwalk.
[Reprinted from Tnlfimmu. July 17, 1870.]
General Washiiigton at the date of: the
invasion“ of Norwalk by the British iii
1779 was encemped with his army on
the banks of the Hudson river. On or
about July 9th be dispatched General
Parsons to Norwalk to assume command
of, and “give confidence to the militia
and guide their movements." One day’s
ride brought General Parsons here, giv-
ing hima day or two to marshal his
troops for the defense of the town. But
finding the force present, inadequate in
numbers and discipline to cope with Gen-
eral Tryon’s old troops and Heesians, he
plawd in position on the hill near the
rocks the battery of six cannon brdught
from Salisbury by Thaddeus Betta two
years previous. General Parsons with
the few troops at his command,deter-
mined to meet the enemy in ambuscadee,
the objectivewpotnt being the rocks; the
line of retreat of all the patriot troops
engaged was in that direction. There
nearly all the volunteers, militia and
Continental troops united for the final
conflict. The result of the fight with
Tryon's troops on France street, sent to
dislodge Generals Parsons and Wolcott’s
command, shows that the plan of the
battle was skillfully laid, and that it
was no ordinary affair, considering
that there were less than four hundred
patriot soldiers, opposed to at least three
quarters of Tryon's force of two thou-
sand iive hundred trained troops landed
at Cow Pasture and Fitche‘s Point the
night before.
The late Dr. N. Bouton was good au-
thority in our local historical matters.
He was personally acquainted with all the
Revolutionary sires of his time, and was
very particular to note all the authentic-
ated facts and incidents communicated by
them. In his two hundretb anniversary
discourse of the settlement of Norwalk,
he says, that the militia and Continental
troops headed by General Parsons and
Wolcott were on the hill near the rocks,
whence they fired on the enemy at Grum~
mou's hill. To drive the former from their
position Tryon dispatched a large body of
troops, who were met by our soldiers in
France street, and greeted there with so
warm a reception, that their progress was
checked, and err noon they were on the
retreat.
General Wolcott came to Norwalk in
advance-of his command. General Pan
sons came here to direct the movements
of the militia. Probable the former
came to assume the supervision of the
Continental troops stationed in the town
of General Butler‘s brigade. Now it is
very doubtful if General Wolcott's com.
mand arrived in Norwalk after the battle
or the next day: the greater probability
is, that as soon as the British were on
shipboard, General Wolcott retraced his
steps with a view of intercepting his com»
mood, and he did so. If any troops ar-
rived after the battle they were the re‘
mainder of General Butler’s brigade. If
there are any well authenticated facts as
to the arrival of patriot troops, the day
following the battle of Norwalk we have
to the present time been unable to find
them.
The following quotation from General
I’arsous' letter to Governor Trumbull dat-
ed at Siamford,July 17, 1779,is conclusive
on the point. The General says,thc depre-
dutions of the enemy upon the sea coast
of the state, General Wolcolf. has doubt-
le. ipsrticularly informed you of, then
adds: “The destruction of Norwalk, is
what I have been a witness of."
Those historians who have given July
12th as the date of the destruction of
Norwalk, probably were misled from the
fact that General Tryon's official report
says that he landed on the 12th and the
following morning laid the town in ashes.
llr. Hall and nearly all the modern
historians of Connecticut have given the
12th of July, 1779, as the date of the de-
struction of Norwalk. Even the Gazette,
Aunt l’hebe and the omnipresent ()ne-
silnus, who was always in the wood pile
when anything was about to tulle place
and upon whose assertions much of the
history of than at is based, also says
that it occurrs on the 12th. If Aunt
Phebe and O'ne in this instance failed to
be correct, it Is not impossible that other
portions of their statements are also in-
correct, at least somewhat colored, as
both had the name of having been rather
visionary and supertitious with all.
The date of the burning of the town
was settled by Dr. Benton in his histolcal
discourse delivered in Norwalk, in 1851,
in which he says, "On Saturday the 10th
the British fleet appeared in our harbor;"
and, "as the morning of the Sabbath
dawned,the British troops were seen con.
centrating from both sides of our harbor
at Grumman’s bill, and the roar of can.
non and tire of markets, in strange con.
trust with the usual stillness of the
Sabbath, deepened the terror of the
scene." The Dr. fixed the date of the
event with no dlepuiein view.

SONS OI" THE REVOLUTION.
'I’he nequhlte Number of Nantes Secured
to Obtain a Local charter.
The newly organized chapter of the
Sons of the American Revolution met
last Saturday night to hear the report of
the committee appointed to obtain signa-
tures to a petition to the State society for
a charter. The conunitlee reported that
twenty-three out of the necessary twen'
ty~flve names had been secured, and the
two additional names could be gotten, so
that the [Kitition could be formally pre-
sented lmforcthebourd of managers of
the Connecticut society at their "noting,
yesterday.
An interesting discussion followed up-
on the usefulness of a local slwiety. it
was stated that in its origin it was at
least historical, and to a large extent was
an historical sm-icty. The question arose
as to the propriety of organizing a regu-
lar historical society, but as several pther
persons in Norwalk had been working to-
ward this object, it. was voted that the
society do its share toward furthering
thborgnnizution of such a St‘Xlll‘lY. An-

cenae for the Fall-view House.
The exterior of the design for the new
school-house, drawn by Architect W. S.
Knapp, is characteristic and tells its own
story plainly. The elevations show a
plain, symetrical and dignified building,
with sufficient ornamentation to relieve
the plainness without waste of materials
or labor. The plans are for a two-story
four room school-house, with two class.
rooms on each floor. Entering 'the' hall
from front or rear, flights of stairs rise
from each end to the second floor. The
balls on each floor are thirteen feet wide.
on each side of which are the class-
rooms, 21334, with twelve-foot ceilings.
Each room is well lighted with four
large double windows. In the lower
hall, near center, divided from them by a
partition eight feet in height, are the
wardrobes, 4x12 feet, for each room, on
first floor, the door op‘é'ning ipto «they»
a room for the “ushers in the front
end of the hall. Thelmlls are well light—
ed from both front and rear. Under the
reurflghf. stairs lead to the basement,
which is under the entire building That
portion under the hall is calculated for
the heating apparatus. It has a brick
partition under the hall partitions [on
each side, enclosing the I'Otllll with brick
and stone on all sides. The two chim-
neys are large stacks, built for ventila-
ting shafts, with a terra cotta smoke-
slack built up through the center, thus
insuring good ventilation for class-rooms.
Hot air Conduits are carried up on each
side ofrthe vent to the rooms above. The
interior of the building is finished with
North Carolina pine in natural wood.
The floors are narrow yellow pine. The
building, when finished, will be a satis-
factory and well-equiped school-house
and a credit to the good judgment of
the building committee.
