She sald'she might have also spoken to D. S. Curtis about these matters. . Ills Adams teetlllvd that she had not made over up outside of her income dart the past year. Her brother, she said.

She also mod that other letters written to " had never been received. ‘ Miss Adams said she had frequently heard her brother John calling to her through the night. that ahc,.had seen him prowling about the premises in company with Mr. Warner, and that he appeared to be dazed. She did not call to them. as they were leaving the place when she first noticed them. Miss Adams said she was positive that her brother is under a spell, but ‘ she did not think it was caused en- tirely by drink. She told of a trap laid for her by her brother at Goshcn. She was of the opinion that they were going to capture her up there and put . her in a lunatic asylum. She said she «\had got some of this information from t 3 her brother and the rest from outside parties. She then told the court that her bro- ther had not seemed natural for some time. especially when he was in court tbe'other day 'and denied that he was not in Norwalk when she was positive that he was. She. described her bro- ther's strange action- In running away from her at the Norwalk station when she went to meet him at the depot. In describing the master the respondent stated that he ran away from her as she approached, and dodging around the baggage car ran up through the tunnel. Miss Adair-s was positive that she was not minimum in the matter. The respondent referred to having seen her brother John out driving with Dr. L N. Phluney. and was of the opinion that he was in Mr. Warner's hire and had been given something that puthlm lntoaspell. She said John had acknowledged to her that he was doctorlng with Dr. Phlnney. and that she hadwarncd him against him. in describing her brother John's queer ac- tions. Miss Adams stated that once. while at his new store at Middletown. she had heard him tell customers that came in to go back to the other store. which was being run by a business competitor.

She said she hadgsemt John drunk‘st the store. and that taking all matters into consideration she had written the city authorities to look after her brother. Mien Adams referred to another time when her brother's physician gave. him medicine. She took half a dose and it made her deathly sick. She was posi- tive that if she had taken all of it the elect would have been fatal.

II entertainment VIII h provided Ill "’ 3‘ O under the strain and asked permits! to be ex- e During the examination of Miss Adams, Dr. J. 0. Gregory appeared in court and she gave way for the physic- ian to testify. Dr. Gregory said Miss Adams had been in his oihoe on two occasions rei- stlve to this case. She had told him that they were going to put her in a lunatic asylum. and he informed her they could not without going through some legal form. He said Miss Adams seemed to talk rationally and seemed to have a good idea of matters in gen. cral. “So far as my knowledge goes. based entirely. remember. upon the la- tervlew in my olllce. i would not pro- nounce her insane or not capacitated for business." On the cross-examination Dr. Gre- gory said he would not give expert testimony as to her sanity. for this re- quired a study of the women, which he had not given. The physician admit- ted that Iiiss Adams came to him vol- untarily to be examined. Judge Gregory then brought out the statement/ that individuals )aboring under delusions many times displayed extreme sentences in hiding them from notice. / “it is a long and serious matter to discover delusions," said the ddctor. "formany times the patient's mind is perfectly clear upon other subjects. As far as the delusions went the patient would cover them very successfully." Judge Gregory then reviewed the case to the doctor. asking at the clues that if the facts he had given were true. if he would still consider the res- pondent of sound mind. The doctor replied that he would say she was suffering under a maniacal de- lusion. and that it would be question- able as to her ability to control her property. ,, 0n the rr-dlrect examination Attorn- ey Walsh brought out the fact that persons suffering from delusions often managed business affairs well and at other times mismanaged them. The examination was continued at length. the counsel on both sides on. denvoring to get evidence from Dr. Gregory as an expert. with the inten- tion. evidently. of evening up matters for. bothaideeu when the court inter- fered. He remarked: "These ingenious gentlemen. doctor. are trying to get you to spread out on both sides of this case." The counsel asked v further ques- tions. it was agreed to adjourn until Thurs- day m ng at 9 o'clock. fostsa plantar nooks.“ over 200 Volumes Donated by Ir. lini- terwsrth—Bcernt rants-u.

Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning four unknown men undertook to force an entrance to the Deep River Savings Bank. in Main street. They had been detected by the bank watch- man, Harry D. Tyler. and just as they were about to gain entrance the watchman, without warning, from his position within the bank discharged a shot gun. One of the robbers fell head; the other three made good an im- hesd the other three made good an im- mediate escape. The story of the af- fair le dramatically told by Watchman Tyler.” . For a year or more, Tyler. who is about thirty-three years of age. has been stationed at night in the Savings bank. Last night he was attending to his duties as usual. it was just about 1 o'clock this morning when. for some reason which he says he is unable to explain. he went to a front window of the bank and looked up and down the main street. As he stood there he saw coming down the street from the north a man. The lateness of the hour caused him to become interested. and he drew back a little and watched. A few moments later he discovered that. Instead of one man, there were four. They were walking in lock step. apparently for the purpose of giving as far as possible the appearance of one man. Tyler drew back a little fur- ther and waited. The four men reach- ed a point almost in front of the beak. halted. consulted. and then separated. Tyler saw them take up portions. one on each of the four sides of the bank building. The watchman immediately reached for his firearm. which consist- od of a repeating shot gun. the shells of which were loaded with No. 9 buck- shot, and taking up a position of ad- vantage hc waited. For some minutes all was quiet, but it was not long be- fore Tyler heard a grating sound at a window on the north side of the bank. He distinctly heard some one at work. apparently with a chisel. He could not see out of the window. as the win- dows of the bank are equipped with lna side blinds. ali'of which were closed. All of a sudden he heard the window crank. and then it was opened. .The watchman decided that the time for action had arrived. Taking deliberate aim. be discharged the gun full toward the window. The charge tore through the blinds and glass. and quiet prevail- ed. Tyler waited for some time. and. concluding that the robbers had been frightened away. went ') the bank tel- options and notified William. Mitchell. a near—by liveryman. The latter went for help. and an investigation was be- gun. Under the window where the robbers had been at work was found the body of one. of the robbers. The charge from Tyler's gun had struck him in the forehead, blowing the derby hat which he wore to pieces and tear- ing the top of his head frlgbtfuily. He had fallen dead in his tracks. death an- doubtcdly being instantaneous. Harvey Brooks, a clerk of the bank. and Mllon Pratt. a director. were sum- moned. and an alarm was sent to the police in New Haven. Liveryman Mitchell removed the body of the dead robber to Lai’lacc's undertaking establishment. where it was later viewed by Medical Examiner H. T. French. who notified the coroner at Mlddletown. The victim was a man apparently about thirty years of age. good look- ing and well dressed. in an overcoat pocket was found a loaded revolver and a few dynamite shells. There was nothing on the body which would lead to the identity of the man or any clue left as to the identity of the three men who escaped. Very few r-ltisens of Deep River knew of the affair until this morning. but as soon as the news of the attempt- ed robbery and the tragedy became known there was the liveliest kind of excitement. The townspeople gather- ed about the undertaking rooms where the dead robber’s body was being cared for in such numbers that proprietor LsPlncc was compelled to lock his doors. Meanwhile the residents stood about in groups discussing the grue- some nfi‘alr and heaping enconiums on Watchman Tyler. who Is the town’s hero just now. Henry It. Worcester. tile cashier of the bank. was out of town last night. but he returned early this morning. He was loud in his praise of Tyler. He added that the robbers would have as- rured but a small sum of money. extra if they had succeeded in gaining an entrance to the safe. Coroner Wise. of liddlelown. is ex- here later In the day. when he will hold an inquest into the death of the robber.

December 13~Thc committee of the House of Representa- tives which is investigating the base of Mr. Roberts. of Utah, ' opened its doors at 10:30 today to begin the ex- amination of witnesses. A large num- ber of spectators were on hand, in- cluding several ladies. Mr. Roberts occupied a seat at the foot of the com- mittee table. while flanking him was the delegation of gentiles—the Rev. Dr. lilff. Mr. Schroeder and other—here to direct the case against the Utah mem- her-elect. When Chairman Taylor. Ohio, called the committee to order and asked the witnesses if they would be heard, Mr. lichens arose and asked as to his sta- tus before the committee. making a short statement in line with the argu- ment contained in his brief which has been published. Mr. Taylor. Ohio. responded that all of Mr. Roberts' rights had been fully looked after and protected. and at the very threshold of the inquiry there was no proper question which had not been raised.

Mr. Rob- erts interrupted with the objection that "what this lady may have done is im- material in the absence of any showing that it was at the direction of both ltobcrtses." Mr. Schroeder said later testimbny would bring out the question. and Mr. Taylor ruled that the competency of the questions could be judged by the subsequent testimony. Mr. Roberts then cross-examined the witness. The questions were asked rapidly and some times savagely. it brought out that in addition to being a civil engineer, Mr. Owen was the correspondent of a New York ncwrtpn- per. Mr. Robsrts' questions brought out that the witness had no knowledge as to Mrs. Maggie Roberts or Mr. Rob- erts. based on talks with them, but his information was general and of com- mon repute. “i want to know." asked Mr. Roberts, "if the general reputation you have been testifying to obtains since Mart-n i. 1899. "it does." “And what is that reputation?" “That Maggie C. Shipp-Robsrts is the plural or poiygamus wife of Brig— ham li. Roberts.” “On what acts is this general repu- tation based?" “No specific reasons." As his evidence closed Mr. Roberts asked to have all his testimony strick- on from the record. but the chairman permitted the testimony to stand.
