‘Afi'blle‘pmof Justice. Austin Who Has:
Come .to-Norwaik While Her Hua-
jband la in the South on His

r " Game Preserve.

 

Some person. whose identi cannot
be ediabiished. but whose mo lves are
unquestionably unfriendly. has circu-
lated a "report that Mrs. Herbert
Clappfiof Germantown,’ Pa., who has
been spending the winter in Norwalk.
has;begun an action against her hue-
bapd for divorce. ‘

On the authority of Mrs. Olson and
her‘uncie. former Justice Alfred E.
Alulatin. the report is unequivocally do-
n e .

‘Mr. and Mrs. Clam) are prominent
socially in ‘Germnntovv'n. Pa. thn

r. Clapp' went to his game preserve.
about ten milesfrom Thomasville. 0a..
last November. his Wife came here and
leased a cottage in Arch street. where
sherhas since been with her three chil-
drop.

‘Mrs. Clapp is an exceedingly hand-
some young woman, with large dark
brown eyes. and a wealth of wavy
brown hair. in the reception room
of her home she said to a reporter last
evening. in reopened to questions:

"I am utterlylat a loss to understand
how any such report could be circu-
lated. Mr. Clapp did go South, but it
was a business trip pure and simple.
and i wish you woulddony the state-
ment" that i have instituted divorce
proceedings or intend to, or that we
are separated in the legal sense.

"We are separated only because he
is away on business. and I am here
during his absence, spending a few
weeks with ’my uncle. former Justice
Austin. and his family.

'"lt is difficult in understand how
such a_ report could be started. and i
feel it must be the, work of some per-
son who is *unfriendly, although i did
not know i had an enemy in the
world." 5

To the Editor of tile South Norwalk

'Sentlnol:

Dear Sir: Yourcorrespondenl, has
read with lunch ihtorcst the item of
Monday‘s issue. entitled "120 Miles of
Trolley." Also iilte timely article on
"Big Ramapo Scheme." I’crmit me a
few words:

The money kings of these days
know the power of cumulative woalth,
hence combine and concentrate their
fortunes that they may increase more
rapidly. Opportunities of large profits
on collossal tran’sactious are presented
in the millionaires. and thus they
"heaped treasures," together in our
age as deter before. If the reader
would see the “Divine Forecast," let
him read James v.. 1-8. Your vigor-
ous protest against this giant mono-
poly is, heartily seconded. The fol-
lowing satirical poem aptly illustrates
the covctous rapsclty of our modern
capitalists. and may set some who read
It to thinkinl:

"Let on corner up the sunboulns
Lying all around our path;

Get a trust on wheat and roses;
Give the poor the thorns and chaff.

Let us find our clliefcst plcnsurc
.Rording bounties of today.

“Yes. we will reservoir the rivers.
And We‘ll levy on the lakes;

,On each poor man who partakes;

.Wefll brand his number on him
That he‘ll carry through his life;

Weill app’rentlcoail his children.
Out a mortgage on his wife.

"We'll capture e'en the wind-god.
And confine him in a cage;
And then. through our patent process
We“ the atmosphere will save;
Thus we'll squeeso our little brother

days. The state rested last night. Ev-
ery one connected with the case was in
the court room early today to hear the
opening for the defense. There was the
usual crowd outside the court house.
and the deputy sheriffs stationed at
the doors had a difficult task to per-
form in keeping out those who had no
right to enter.

The prisoners. McAllister. Death and
Campbell. were brought In a few min-
utes before 10 o'clock. and took their
accustomed places near their counsel.
The faces of the defendants all here
indications of the strain of the trial.
Death looch more dejected and nor-
vous than his two companions.

During the wait for Judge Dixon to
appear on the bench the lawyers for
the defense compared notes and held a
final consultation preparatory to open-
ing the case in behalf of the prisoners.

Meanwhile wunty Prosecutor Emley
had a conference with his assistant. and
thou informed some newspaper men in
reply to questions that he was well sut-
lsiied with the evidence as submitted
by lhc state. but he might possibly call
some witnesses in rebuttal. '

There is a poasibiiity of the defense
closing its case today and the trial be-
ing concluded tomorrow with the sum-
ming up and the Judge's charge.
