The grim walls oi the atateprison
at Wotliersflcld confine a number of

important prisoners who have been.

sent up from the courts of this county
Within a few weeks some of them will
be released. having served loo terms.
while others have still men a and
years to nerve, and still others must
remain for the natural life, unless a
pardon, a very unlikely thing to oc-
cur. comes to free them.

Included In the list are some whose

crimes are almost forgotten. even in

police circles. so many years having
elapsed since the evil doing stirred the
community. Others are of more recent
date and their lawbrenklng acts are
still ”fresh in the minds of the people

No crime of recent years created a
greater sensation In the county than
the killing of Mary Manson, of Shel
ton, in 1894. Deadly jealousy was the
motive. the fierce bate of a: woman
scorned prompted the hand of the man
to do the dark deed.

With the end of the present month
the woman who was the prime mover
in this murder will be released from

the state prison. Moving served her

time and secured the usual reductions
through good behavior. Bolero Aug
but comes, Florence HawIey will walk
out of the prison. leaving behind hol
husband, John liawloy. who was forced
to kill the rival, the white woman he.
professed to love, by the ovormaster
ing power of the wife's will. The hub
band. unless pardoned. must spend the
mcmainder of his ..fe In pursuit.

That was the decision of the jury.
and it was just. Both were charged
with murder In the first degree. One
jury found the husband guilty of tour
Ilul‘ in the second degree. There Will,
no evidence of pmmedltntion on his
part and the verdict was rendered on
0.0“"!!eg Another jury found the
woman guilty of manslaughter. Tirol
was a surprise, but there was evldcul
sympathy for the. little wife who had
been deceived. And now she walks
out free while he must stay behind the
cold gray walls.

The blunaop murder was one that
attracted considerable attention at the
hands of the press bccauao of the ex
tremo brutality evidenced in killing
the unfortunate woman. Mrs. Manson
was a white woman oi’ lax morals
She lived with John riawley. and from
the. evidence adduced at the trial It
appeared that Mrs. Howley became In
com with jealousy over her husband’s
conduct with the woman and goadcd
him on to putting her out of the way

The testimony Indicated that the
two took part in the murder and that
after. the husband shot Mrs. Manson
Mrs. HawIey finished the job by split
ting the unfortunate woman's head
open and thou carried away with the.
fury of her passion backed the body
to pieces.

The jury, however. found Howley to
have been the principal. and he was
sentenced to Tile imprisonment. Mrs.
Hawley escaped with nine years. She
has been a model prisoner and for
good behavior secured eighteen
months on her sentence. She will
walk out of the prison In a few more
days. having aorvo‘d the penalty pre
scribed by the court for her crime.

FUR NEW INDUSTRIES

Somali Having a Boom lust at

the Present limo.

LUUNTINR I POTTERY CONCERN

Delegation of Milford Men Was In
Town Yesterday. Looking Over the
Old Nor‘walk Pottery Works—u
they come Here.

Just at present Norwalk seems to
have a boom for new Industries. The
latest prospective one In that of the lo«
cation of a pottery In the old Norwalk
Pottery. Smith street. which is at pres
cot leased by the Norwaik Pottery
Company as headquarters but is not
used as a factory.

Yesterday afternoon two prominent

Milford men were In town looking over -

the place and were greatly pleased
with the location; and facilities. The
old pottery has a due water front and
doclmge. and although there are only
three kilns there is plenty of room to
put in the two more. which the con
cern would need, as thorn in land to
build on.

If the concern locates here it will
manufacture the line Duchess waro
and salad dishes of all sorts for which
the Norwnlk Pottery Company In
agent. The concern has the finest
method of making this Duchess ware.
which at present is a rival of the fam
ous Reel-mood ware.

About one hundred and fifty hands
would be employed, and the old fac-
tory would hum merrily again. as In
days of yore. If the concern should
decide to locate here. In about two
weeks another call will be made by the
gentlemen who were here yesterday.
One thing In which this differs from
other plants is that is doesn’t ask any
Induccmcnt to come here.

The men In Norwaik yesterday were
the leading business moo of Milford.
Alter their tour of Inspection the par-
ty enjoyed a chore dinner at Dorlon's

‘ Point.

Thc'NorwaIk Pottery Company in
under the management of Thomas In
Peck. of East avenue. and because of
Its convoniclit‘sltuaiion is used as the
agency for this territory of the com
bincbo which it belongs which in
( hulpn' besides tho Norwallr Company,
companies located In Milford Cam
bridge Akron Ohio; Trenton, Pbilodel
phla and llart!ord.

Undoubtedly this would help boom
the town greatly as It would mean that
many families would come to the place
to live where the men work It would
probably Incrcalle real estate values
largely.
