Cress-Missiles by Attorney Walsh.

‘The trial of Elmer G. Webb and
Frederick Mead ofNNew Canaan. the
young men charged with criminal as-
~ sault upon Mrs. Valentine Storm, or,
as she now calls herself, Mrs. Howard
Dauchy. was brought to an abrupt ter-
mination yesterday afternoon by the
sudden disappearance of Mrs. Storm.
the chief witness in the case, and from
all accounts it is believed that she has
fled from the state. This practically
clears the young men from the serious
charge preferred against tliem.
The alleged assault Mrs. Sturm
claimed was committed September 8,
but no warrant was issued or a com-
plaint made until a few days ago. She
stated on the witness stand that she
left the residence of Mr. Webb. where
she and her husband were then em-
ployed. on that day, and secured em-
ployment for both of them at Nelson
'Spear's. Mrs. Sturm swore that Mr.
Webb’s wife was visiting in Danbury
at the time of the alleged assault, that

she was alone In the house with Webb
and Mead, her husband having gone to

a neighbor’s to borrow a saw. After
detailing the facts In the case to the
court she was subjected to a search-
ing cross—examination by Attorney
John J. Walsh, who went into her for-
mer life and asked her about her wand-
erings as the "Wild Rose of Wilton,’
and as to her frequent marriages. la-
tor.

Mrs. Storm is credited. in the latter
part of this testimony, with telling the
court - some startling things, which
proved on the lace of them to be some-

what questionable, and In one instance
denied, while in the other the witness
and her husband took advantage of an
adjournment to disappear. in the first
place Mrs. Sturm stated that she was
married to Sturm in December. 18in.
by the Rev. Mr. Williams, in Port
Chester. Sturm went to war shortly
afterwards, and after he returned she
said she retained Attorney H. Edgar
Ferris to bring suit for non-support
lulu-t him; that Mr. Ferris informed
her'tbat her husband's mother had
succeeded in having the marriage an-
nulled because he was a minor when
he married her. She said that It was
on account of this information from
Mr. Ferris that she married Dauchy,
as she supposed she was a free wom-
an. She stated that oer marriage to
Dauchy was performed by the Rev. Mr.
Hunt on August 2, at Port Chester.
Mrs. Sturm swore that she had her cer-
tificate of marriage to Dauchy at home
and was willing to go after it.

At this juncture Attorney Walsh in-
troduced a sworn statement made by

he had married Minnie F. Brotherton
and Valentina Sturm In December.
.1897. and that he had not married a
Minnie Brothertou before or after that
time. neither had he ever married a
Howard Daucby. Word was also re-
ceived from Attorney r'erris couched
ih~vlgorous language. that the witness
lied If she made the remarks attributed
to him.

Justice of the Peace Russell Hall, be-
fore whom the case was tried. thought
ltmight be a good Idea to give the
witness a chance to drive home and
get her marriage license if she had one.
Attorney Walsh suggested that an oili-
cer be sent with the witness. but Grand
Juror F. M. Bliss, who conducted the
prosecution. thought the course was
unnecessary. Accordingly, at 11:30
court adjourned to 1:30 to allow the
witness time to drive home and get
the license.

Attorney Walsh had two men follow
the pair for his own information. They
later returned with the information
that the last seen of Dauchy and his
"Wild Rose" they were making the
best possible speed into New fork
state.

In the meantime Attorney Ferris had
become so much incensed at the stories
told about him In court that he secur-
ed a team and drove to New Canaan

there was not a particle of truth In the
stories told by Mrs. Sturm. with the
exception that she came to him to get

for non-support. and
that who had told her that she had by
comma repute made herself not lla-
bls to non-support on statutory

do.

At 1:10 o'clock the case was again
called but as the witness had not re-
the Judge adjourned the case

tors. it would be proof positive that toe

slon Boats in Sight.

New York, October 12—The day set
for the fifth attempt to sail the ,rst
race of the America's cup series, saw not
even a start. Again the tag was too
thick and the wind too light. The
few boats that gathered about the
starting line at 10 a. 'm. looked like
phantoms In the mist. Old sailors
looked at the conditions and shook
their heads. “The hottest sun cannot
get rid of that fog before the termina-
tion of the starting hour," one said,
meaning that It would not clear before
12:30 o'clock. in fact, the fog was
heavier thanoon any preceding day

and boats under steam proceeded with
the utmost caution. whistling all the
time. while the numerous stalled sail-
ing craft bent tin pans and blew horns
to announce their presence.
Contrary to the plan pursued on
Tuesday. the yachts left their_ anchor-
age at the Hook and proceeded to the
selling point, but evidently with little
Idea that they would be started, for the
Erin. with Sir Thomas Lipton on
board. stayed at anchor. The two
boats iockeyed about the starting
point.
The Shamrock'n beautiful clubtop-
saii set like a piece of ivory, while the
‘msinsail had not a tremble. The
Columbia had up her new topsail, and
while a little smaller, it set beautiful-
ly. The fog dropped again somewhat
and the yachts were lost to view.

ind one or two other boats came along
but they had very slim passenger listt
The committee boat Luckenbaclt ar-
rived at the starting point shortly af-
ter 11. and the guard boats began to
arrive later. The Erin. with Sir Tho-
mas Lipton aboard, came down at 11:30
and was closely followed by the Cor-
sair. The stake bouts took their places
about the start and a little later asked
both yachts if they were ready to start.
The wind at this time had died down
so tlrat the sails flopped. At 11:30 It
was clearly impossible to race, and
soon afterwards the owners of the
yachts went into consultation on that
point. The result was a decision not
to start the yachts today. A signal to
that effect was hoisted.
The assembled craft started for the
city.

EARLY MORNING SCENES.

New York, October 12—The weather
at 7 a. in today gave promise of another
disappointment fill- the yachting
world. Another fog enveloped the up-
per buy and onlythc lightest of west-
crly airs was blowing. The Staten is—
land ferry boats were abouMalf an
hour late In making their trips, and
at other points trailic was almost at a
standstill at times. In spite of the
outlook. however, the ”faithful few"
gathered atthe Battery during the early
hours. In the hope of using able to wit-
ness the first yacht race of the series
of contests In 1899 for the America's
cup between the defender. the Colum-
bia. and the challenger, the Shamrock.
Reports from The Associated Press
coast stations early in the day were de-
cidedly gloomy.

Long Branch reported the wind very
light from the west. the sea smooth.
and observation about only one mile;
Galilee observation not over a mile,
with the same wind and sea conditions;
Sandy Hook reported the wind west,
between four and five miles an hour.

Highlands of Navesink said observa-
tion 'there was about three miles,

vation about three miles.

The yachting people in The Horse-
shoe were up early and made prepara-

bIs and the Shamrock jib and stay-
sails were sent up in stops and the
mainsails were uncovered. The Co—
lumbia's men thetT went to their break-

later.

Norwsllr Firemen lay a Thousand
Feet of Hose' m Response
to a Still Alarm.

At 7:30 o'clock last evening. two
young men informed Chief of Police
Bradley that n haystack on Joseph
Lawson’s premises In Prospect avenue
was on fire. They said the burning
stack was close to the barn and that
the structure was in great danger.

The chief secured lire ext.ngu;shers
for them from Pioneer truck house and
they drove back to the fire. They could
not get at the fire in the interior of the
stock. so a still alarm was sent to
Phoenix Engine quarters for the hose
wagon and a corps of firemen to tear
down the stack and drench the burn-
ing hay. They responded in short or-
der. but found themselves short of
hose, Another still alarm was sent
for Hope Hose wagon. Then the dre-
mcn found that there was not sufllclent
pressure on top of the hill to do any ef-
fective service, and the flames threat-
ened to get beyond control and des-
troy the barn.

It was decided to send for Phoenix
steamer. The steamer was stationed
at the foot of Fitch's hill. in Franklin
avenue, and with another supply of
hose from the Phoenix reel the water
was forced up the hill to the scene of
the fire. in this manner the firemen
got good pressure and soon had the
flames "under control. prards of a
thousand feet of hose was laid.

The stack contained about four tons
of hay was valued at sec.

Some of the firemen think Chief of
Police Bradley should have turned in
an alarm. as there was a large amount
of hose laid and only a few men to
take It up. The chief In of the opin-
ion that there were competent firemen
at the scene who could have “turned In'
an alarm if they deemed it necessary.

However, It In still suspected that the

entire Boer concentration on the Iron-
tiers of Natal may be merely an elab-
orate feint to draw off attention from
Mafekiug. which many experts regard
as the real objective of the Boers. A
successful dash there would give the
Boers great prestige with the disaffect-
ed Afrikaneers in Cape Colony.
As a pendant to his dispatch to Arn-
aricn, President Kruger has cabled the
Transvaal European agent as follows
from Pretoria, under date of October
ll:
"Please convey the heartfelt thanks
of the government of the South African
Republic to their friends In England
for the courageous way in which they
have defended the cause of right.
Whatever the outcome may be. the two
republics will always gratefully bear
In mind the assistance and support
shown them In these critical days "
In a Cape Town despair-h it is asser-
ted that the Boers have arranged with
Much-We. a prominent chief on the
northwestern border. to take up arms
against Great Britain.
The afternoon papers express great
satisfaction that the American gov-
ernment has undertaken to protect Bri-
tish diplomatic interests In Boerdom.
They say that the Americans are cer-
tain to show the same tact and devo-
tion of charging the responsibility
which aroused the enthusiasm of' 'our

All kinds of rumors are telegraphed
from South Africa regarding the Boer
movements. Apart from the advance
of the Volksrust and Van Reenan com-
mandoes. reports have arrived of the
concentration of the Utrecht and Vry-
