The More Serious filial-pew lit: May

Fisher Against Them Withdrawn
in the Town Court This
Morning.
A rather unexpected move was taken
in the South Norwalksideof the. Town
Court. this morning. whentbe ,cases of
the other three young men. Charles
Smith. Fred Terrell and Thomas F. Ni-
hill. charged with criminally assaulting
Eta mayflfisher, came up for trial be-
fore Judge Joseph R. Taylor. The
cases were set for 9 o'clock, but it“ was
after 10 before anything was done. The
proceedings were opened by Prosecut-
ing Attorney William F. Tamany first
asking that an additional count of as-
sault be added to the other charge. He
afterwards. had the word “assault" sub-
stituted in place of "rape," and the
boys pleaded guilty to the lesser charge.
Each was fined :50 and costs of prose—
cation.

This heavy sentence, although the
statute provides for an offense of this
nature a fine of $500, Imprisonment of
one year. or both, fell. like a thunder-
bolt on the-ears of the spectators. They
did not think for one moment that the
parents would be made the worst suf-
ferers for the offense of their boys. The
fathers of Nihill and Terrell are work-
ing men. while Smith only has a wid-
owed mother, who largely depends on
her boy for support. Nevertheless lus-
tice had to be meted out. and although
Judge Taylor was reluctant in imposing
the sentence fur the parents‘ sake. if
not for the boys. he had to do it.

The cases all through have excited
the most intense interest in The Nor-
walks and beyond. The other papers
in the state are beginning to comment
on the matter. Some are in favor of
imprisoning [the boys. but the largest
majority Were in favor of discharging
them after the evidence had been sub-
mitted in the Davis case.

The course Prosecutor. Tammany

took in the run w" in ,f'tbls'r‘morning‘.
was comm, gflmfigm of the lead-

 

ing lawyer ' lathe state. He did’ not go .

blindly Into this matter. for he consult-
ed some of. the. best legal ,Jadvlce that
could be outstandinfieleonsnltcd Fros-
ecilliir. 1°th 1;- Walfili. a d. . ."é Niel“?
critics was to the eiféetft at e charge
of assault should only be applied to the
oases. ..

Assistant State's Attorney Galen A.
Carter. of Stamford. w‘as also consulted
by Prosecutor Tammany. r. Carter
is prosecutclr In his tons. He told Mr.
Tammany. that as a prosecutor he
would do absolutely nothing with the
boys. but to give advice as assistant
state's attorney. he thought that the
charge of assault was strong enough.
Ho (lid not think that the boys should
be bound over to the higher court.

When court was called to order Pros-
ecutor Tammany stated the above facts
to Judge Taylor. and asked that the
additional count of assault be added to
the charge.

Attorney George H. Vosburg. as
counsel for the coniplalnant. said:

"It. was not contemplated by the Leg-
islature. when It posed the act estab»
llshing this court .for this court to flu-
ally determine a charge of rape. or any
other crime punishable with imprison-
ment In the state's” prison. If the
judge and public prosecutor of the Sn-
perlor Court. having jurisdiction of a
trial for rape. desire to exercise clem-
ency towards these boys. either by im-
posing a light sentence. or entering a
nolle. let them do so. But they alone. I
claim. have the right to do so. This
court. your Honor. has no Jurisdiction
of this offense. but it is making a pre~
liminary Inquiry into evidence of a
crime of rape. and "Into evidence of no
other crime. l claim there is no right
in law. to justify a withdrawal of the
complaint. and substitution of a com-
plaint for some other offense. Evidence
, sufficient. In my judgment. and i am

. informed In the judgment of the pros-
, ecutor himself. to establish probable
cause. is In his possession: and l in~
sist. your Honor, in justice to the
state. the community at large and the
complainant in this case. that this evi-
dence be submitted to the judge for him
to pass upon."

Attorney John J. Keogh. coupsel for
the defense. said:

"if i understand the duties of a pros-
center. [i believe he has a right to use a
certain amount of discretion and com-
mon sense. The statute never was
meant to go. lutoa schoolboy and schol-
girl affair.‘and send young men to pri-
son. Prosecutor Walsh has told Mr.
‘ Tammanythat the prosecutor ought to
be allowed to use hispwn discretion in
e matter. and i believe these boys
ought not to be bound‘ovor to the higin
er .' , . . . .'
Aiorney Vosburgll again replied. and
said. that all he asked used this

Constitutional Convention to Be
Considered Throughout Stale.

PARTY IIIEllinTHIRIWN

Movement to Have the Democratic and
Republican Organizations Work
In Harmony. and Get Out a
Big Vote for Convention.

The general belief that this year
would be peculiar in that no election
would be held In October has been
found to be erroneous. says the New
Haven Register. There Is to be a
special election just as the small towns
enjoy on the first Monday in October
in the small towns the date Is for the
election of town officers and- town
meeting, but this year by not of the
Legislature they will vote on the ques
tion‘ of constitutional convention. ew
Haven holds a special election for the
same purpose as do all cities whose
regular election falls on a date other
than the first Monday in October;

Every town and municipality In the
state will vote on the subject this year
simultaneously. and should the majori
ty show in favor of a constitutional
bonkentlon another electidn will be
held on'the first Tuesday in November
for the purpose of electing one dale

 

tend a oonvehtion to be held In the
Hall of Records. Hartford. in January.

The small towns are not vigorously
favorably expressed toward the con
ventlon and its object and It is belies
ed by many that they will vote against
It and that in the event of the conven-
tion vote being carried will instruct
a revision of the constitution when
the convention is in session. It re-
mains for the cities to show by votes
their approval of the proposed meas-
are.

A movement is on foot to get the
Democrats and Republicans organise
tlons to work in harmony in this par-
ticular matter and get out a big vote
in the October election.

GROWING WEED UNDER BUYER

. 9 ,
Eighteen Acres 'o‘f Bumstnl'oilsooo
Under Sheds and Announced to
be Practically an Assur-
ed Success.

WINDSOR. August 30—~A close
study of the tobacco industry in Hart-
ford county is being made by Congress-
lpan Henry. of the First congressional
district. both of the experiments in
growing the leaf under shade and of
better crops grown in the open air.
by means of the application of scien-
tific principles. using fertilisers and
handling the leaf.

Since the inspection by the secre-
tory of agriculture a month ago of
eighteen acres of Sumatra grownup-
dcr cover at Tariffville. Congressman
Henry has devoted several days a
week to the visitation of to
bacco growing towns and has omitted
very little territory In his examination
of the tobacco now being grown. m
an Interview he says that the crop
this year Is surprisingly‘unlform In all
towns in this part of the state. that if
Is of big tobacco of excellent quality.
and that while the late damp weather
had a hurtful tendency. the duration
of the unfavorable conditions was not
sufficient to work any damage. espec-
Iuly in view f the counteracting effect
of the last five drying days.

Mr. Henry says that the growing
of Sumatra tobacco under shade is
practically an assured success and that
with hardly a single exception the
shade growers of the county have pro-
duced remarkably flnc crops by using
this method. The cost of growing the
leaf under shade cannot be accurately
determined at this time. but it seems
certain that a handsome profit is as:
sured to the men who have had the
daring to go into the new enterprise
this year. knowirig that It was an en-
terprise not adapted for speculation by
men who could not stand a loss of the
year's even without being crippled ser-
lously financially.

Next year when the big manufactur-
ers who have been aWaltlng the result
of the trial of shade growing make a

 

. demand for shade grown Sumatra to

bacon. and either go into the business
themselves or furnish moneylfor shade
flowing on a large scale. as they now
propose to do. the men who have work-
ed In the tents thls year will be the
first to be sought out to take charge
at the tents. and they will profit there-

3.
The ordinary method of growing to.
bacco cannot be supplanted by shade
crowing. however. as there is reom for
both industries. the product of each be-
ing distinct. and there promises to be
two kinds of tobacco producers In the
future. outdoor and-shade growers.

It is understood that since coming here
the committee has made a carefulcan-
vas of the situation in Pittsburg. which
is regarded as the center of the strike.
They have visited the various mills
now In operation. and have carefully
gone over the field. There Is no cer-
tainty as to what their report will be to
their lodge. but their mission. It is said.
was to arrange if potelble. for their co-

At today’s conference It was said the
committee critically cross-examined
the president of the emulation. on his

way the strike Is progressing. They
have about given up hope of inducing
the men at Donations and Homestead to
loin them. but will make another eifort
to get the men at Duquesne out this
afternoon. . . .

Strikers to the number of several
thousand. headed with brass bands.

said. wll then line up in front of the

o‘clock. The strikers admit. however.
that it is doubtful If the men can be

ROCHESTER. N. Y.. August 30——
Peter M."Suliivan, of North Tonawan.
da.a disbarred iaWyer, has brought a
sensational action against twenty de-
fendants. Including four' Supreme
Court justices of Erie county, ve Ap-
pellate Division justices of th a city.
and a United States district Judge and
a number of attorneys. to recover 820.-
000 damages. Sullivan at one time was
one of the best known attorneys of
Niagara county. He was retained two
years ago by a young woman to bring
an action for damages against a num-.
ber of young men for an assault alleg-
ed to have been committed upon her.
Sullivan was alleged to have comprom-
Ised the suit with the defendants keep-
Ing the money. As a result disbar-
ment proceedings were brought against
him by District Attorney Hopkins. of
Niagara county.

Sullivan about this time wrote a
book entitled “ California conspi-
racy with New York episodes." in
which be accused certain Judges of the
Supreme Court of conspiracy. etc. At
the March term of the Appelate divisi-
on in this city. Sullivan was disbarred.

In his complaint Sullivan declares
that he hasbeen "disgraced. dishonor.
ed. disbarred and boycotted" by the do
fondants who he says have wrough his
financial ruin. He alleges a conspi-
racy between the Supreme court
justices and others "to despoil him of
his money and to disgrace. degrade

BALL GAMEBY BUSINESS MEN.

The baseball teams of the Main and
Wall street business men will play
their next game some day next week.
The Main streets are very confident
that they will turn the tables when the
teams meet again. while the Wall
streets are supremely confident to the
contrary. The battle ground has not
been named. but the Decker Field will
probably have the honor of the game.
The Main streets desired to have the
game played yesterday but the Wall
street team was trouble. to play then.
owing to the pressure of business on
the part of their captain.

All Accommodation on Northern Can-

Overturned—One Hundred and
Fifty Passengers in Danger.

NEWARK, N. 1., August 30.——The ac.
commodation train leaving Sodas
Point, over the Northern Central rail-
road, andwhich arrives in this village
at 6 o'clock, was last night derailnd at
the station at Fairvillc. about ten miles
north of here. One man was killed
and .twanty-eight injured.

The train was made up at 80an
Point and consisted of four coaches, a
baggage car and engine with William
Foster at the throttle. Chester Flaglcr
was fireman. Conductor H. S. Merri-
man, of Sodas Point. was in charge of
the train. .

The train was running at nearly 40
miles an hour. Approaching the sta-
tion at Fairview there Is a curve and
gravel pit. For some unknown reason

 

 

 

passing the gravel pit. The force of
the impact turned the engine complete-

their sides. .

The train load of some 150 passen
gore was thrown into the «Mob and It
is a wonder that the number of fatali
ties was not greater. The engine and
all the cars were badly broken up and
the steam pipes running under the cars
were broken In several places. This
accounts for the large number of peo
ple scolded.

Help was quickly summoned from
the neighboring houses and all the as-
sistance possible was rendered. Word
was sent to Sodus and Newark for
physicians. and a special train with
five doctors left Newark at 6:45 o‘clock
Upon its arrive! the Newark passeng
era were placed aboard and hastened
to Newark.

The news of the disaster spread with
remarkable rapidity and upon the ar-
rival of the special at Newark with
the injured aboard a most pathetic
scene was enacted.

The private car of Superintendent
Spencer Mead was attached to the
train. His wife was seriously ill. The
car was derailed but the oddhpante
were not injured. The cause of the
wreck Is not known exactly. but It is
thought the rails spread. There have
been heavy rains recently and prob
ably in this way the tracks were loos-
ened.

When interview by an Associated
Pram corres ndent the oncials of the
road had no hing to say.
close questioning they would give out
nothing.

The scalds of the passengers were
caused by the bursting steam pipes
and had it not been for the prompt as.
aletanco rendered by the neighbors
many others would probably have been
killed. Pinned down by the wreck-
age, the women and children screamed
aloud as they lay there writhing In
agony. Death would have been a wel-
come messenger to many. but only one
was permitted to cease suffering.

Howard Tubba, the ticket agent at
Sodas Point, was on the engine with
Engineer William Moagber, and was
badly scolded and otherwise badly in-
jured. He died shortly before 11
o'clock on the hospital train at New.
