, , examination. which at e o'clock caused

was oh the verge of physical and men-

, tal col
dialed that she had ever
had anything to do with the Weston
family. as members of the family had
"filled. and furthermore. that she had
never peaked in their windows. She
she had to once:- Moreo
house about her brother twice. (in one
occasion she saw a person greatly rc-
. enabling him in a room at lieseberg's

Win the evening. and she had
asked the ofllcer to look into the mat-
ter and dad out if it was her brother.
She denied that she told the odicer
that her brother was looked up there.
. in reference to the testimony of Dill-

. Dans. Miss Adams said she saw a

lean resembling her brother go into
Grammars saloon. She asked the of-
deer to step in and tell him that his
sister wished to see him. 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. A never told her that she was
mismanaging her estate.

Attorney Gray then told the respon-
. dent that as a number of letters to her
' . brother John had been offered in evi-
dance. elle would be given an oppor-
tunity to examine them and make any
explanation concerning them that she
desired. Miss Adams stated the let.

Judge green ry then proceeded to
ems-examine Miss Adams. He com-
menced by questioning her closely con-
cerning matters mentioned in the let-
me. andsekcd her to give a fuller ex-
planation of th The facts broug .
out indicated 'tllnt' Miss Adams was .
the opinion that all her letters had
been opened by her brother—in-law. At-
torney Levi- Warner. or through some

y which he directed. 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

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 could not see his rea-
son for driving trade away. Witne-
wns positive about these facts. 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. She was
also fearful that her brother might be
poisoned. and had urged him to
physicians.

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.

Working at a Window, When the Saar-

Aim and Fired—Town in a
Whirlwind sf Excitement

 

 

Deep River. 01mm, Dec. la—This
ordinarily quiet little Connecticut river
town in in a whirlwind of excitement
today an a result of a tragedy in
which an attempted bank robbery cul-
minated. 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.

"Doss is man appear as an attor-

ney?" asked Roberts. as Mr. Schoeder
stepped forward. "He will examine
witnesses." said Mr. Taylor.

“Then i wish to introduce the court
record relating to him." said Roberts.

Mr. Taylor said this had already
been passed Saturday.

Charles Austin 0 en. of Salt Lake
City. was then calls. in response to
questions by Mr. Schroeder be said he
knew the general reputation of the sta-
tus of "Ur. Maggie C. Shipp-ltobcrtsr“
llcr professional sign reads “Dr. Mer-
garet C. Roberts."

Her name appears similarly in the
city directories.

While the questions were being put
as to Mrs. Maggie Roberts. 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.

Washington, December 13 -- The
House met at 11 o'clock today. The
speaker appointed the following com-
mittee to Join with the committees of
the Senate and District of Columbia in

ley. Texas: Doveries. California: Cowo-
herd. Missouri. Democrats, and Bell,
Colorado. Populist.

The debate upon the currency bill
was then resumed. Mr. Bell. Colorado,
was the first speaker.

lie opposed the bill, devoting much
time to an argument against its bank-
ing features.

Mr. Srundage. Democrat. Arkansas.
also opposed the bill. Mr. Wheeler.
Kentucky. said he desired to acquit the
Republicans, at least in his district. of
the charge of a change of root. There
the battle was waged squarely by the
blmetalliste on the one side and the
gold monometnlists upon the other.
and the bimetallists piled up a major-
ity of “.000.

Mr. Fowler. New Jersey. who was a
member of the banking and currency
