A cowardly and cold blooded mur-
der took place between 8 and 9 o'clock
last night. at the entrance to Witch
Lane, on the Wilson Point road. With-
out a word of warning Garrett Barry.
foreman on the farm of Boardman
Burchard. a Wilson's Point. was shot
and instantly killed by Benedetto Den-
ovrio, a laborer, who seldom worked.
and when he did, spent the moat of his
money for strong drink. He has suc-
ceeded in eluding the officers thus tar.
but it is thought that he is in hiding in
the woodr'in the vicinity. They are
brains searched. and It is likely that be-
fore night the murderer will be behind
the bars. ’

There wasonly one witness to the
tragedy. Charles O'Toole. a man in the
employ of Mr. fiuhard and working
under Foreman rry. He says there
was no trouble and that Dencvrio shot
Barry down without any provocation.
The latter two boardedthe trolley car

eight years old. not married. nor has

has been in the United States about
ten years. and between eight and ten
years ago. was a steady employee of
Contractor Salvator Chariot. Since
then he has been doing odd jobs where-
ever he could get work. When he left
be bad on blue overalls. blue or black
sack coat. derby hat and wore com-
mon lace shoes.

Captain Gladstone immediately noti-
fied Chief of Police William Vollmcr
and Medical Examiner S. H. Hunting-
ton. In a few minutes the chief was at
the police station. Officer Pennington
was detailed to go to the railroad sta-
tion and notify Officer Allen. who was
on duty there. also to inform conduct-
ors of all trains. brakemen and every-
one in connection with the railroad.
The telegraph instruments were kept
warm telegrapbing from station to sta-
t on.

The chief then telephoned around
the surrounding country, and informed
the police and constables in every town
within a radius of thirty miles. The
ground was well covered. After he
was satisfied that if the assassin at-
tempted to go out of town. he would be
captured. he and Captain Gladstone
visited the scene of the tragedy. going
there in a carriage.

When they arrived they found about
a dozen ahead of them. Mr. Ely and
his family were there. along with
O’Toole and several of the nearby
.mlfihbovt. nDeputy. Sheriff John W.
Sculloy. w‘th several assistants. who
tOok orders from him. were scouring
the woods in the vicinity. besides oth-
ers who had volunteered their services.

The officers secured what information
they could from the broken English
spoken by the Ely family. They said
they did not know. the murderer's
name. They only knew him by the
name of Bennie. They had never ask~
ed for any other name. it was over an
hour before it was learner] that the dos-
cription that had been sent broadcast
of tho fugiilve from justice. was entire-
ly the opposite to wlini. it should have
been. It was a bad blunder on the part
of the informant. and whether done in—
tentionally or not. Is not known.

Without losing any time. the chief
returned to South Norwalk and went
aI over the ground again. telephoning
and telegraphing the correct descrip-
tion of the man. He and the captain
again went to Witch Lane and endea-
vored to learn the. name of the man
-who was capable of committing such a
rash deed. They went to the house of
Ely and broke open a trunk in order to
find a letter or some papers on which
his name would be written. They were
unsuccessful. for there was not a scrap
of anything that would reveal the
name. About one hundred cartridges.
a couple of old shirts and other worth-
less material. were all that were
found. Finally. through an Italian
who knew the murderer and knew how
to spell the name. the police were suc-
cessful In obtaining it.

With the Information they had. they
were better able to hunt for the fugi-
tive. The chief and captain returned to
South Norwalk about 12 o'clock. oni-
cers Pennington and Hall were detail-
ed to, watch the woods in the immediate
vicinity all night. to see that he did not
return to the house.

It was about 10 o'clock when Medical
Examiner Huntington arrived at the
scene of the shooting. He made a has-
ty examination of Barry's wound. and
ordered the body removed to his home.

A small gang of boys who had been

at the rear of the coal shed started a
fire In the shed with sticks they pur-
Ioincd from a nearby wood pile, and

the fishermen thinking the shed was
on fire from the bright light the
flames gave. ran into It. The boys.
seeing the fishermen running toward
them, promptly skipped in another di-
rection. The fishermen extinguished
the fire and went back to their lines.

Another attempt at giving the pretty
village the reputation of harboring a
gang of desperate villians was also
made this morning, when it was grave-
ly announced that an Italian. Domick

Talia a Sentinel Reporter Some of the
Plans of the Concern. and What
They Propose being to in-
crease Their Business.

It is now merely the question (if
days before the wliir of the wheels of
industry will again be heard at the
Norwulk and ir‘nirfield Mills. The
lessons. Edgar M. Andrews. of New
York city. and Erwin ll. smith. ‘ of

Philadelphia. are making. every effort
to establish their business here as soon
as possible.

Mr. Andrews Is in Norwalk today to
confer with William 1". Wood. who, It
was expected. would arrive in town
this morning. but did not and may get
here during the afternoon.

The firm name of the new company
will be Andrews & Smith. and Mr.
Wood will be the superintendent of the
mills. The latter gentleman is thor-
oughly competent to take this posi-
tion, as he has been in the mill busi-
ness all his life and understands it in
all its intricacies. Mr. Wood's last
olucv was as superintendent of a large
mill in South Coventry. which only a
:hort time ago burned down.

Mr. Andrews is authority for the
statement that the mills which he and
his partner have leased will be run
with 'a full complement of bands.
which means that several hundred
people will receive employment. The
company already has plenty of orders
to start with and more will be forth-
coming. as Mr. Andrews already has
a wellostnbllahed business. and has
offices at 53 and 55 Worth street, New
York city. He Is a members of the
firm 'of Andrews and Reddiclr. who
have a mill at Dalton. Mass.

Mr. Andrews'e chief reason for In
eating in Norwalk is because of Its
nearness to New York city. which
makes its. good shippin point. In the
Massachusetts mill Mr. Andrews has
been manufacturing woolen goods on-
ly. but at the Norwalk plant both wor-
sted and woollen goods will be pro-
duced. Goods will be shipped direct
from here to the different parts of
the cormtry. wherever they may be
sold. The company will sell only di-
rectly to the merchant who Is to re-
tail the goods and not to commission
houses. as most mill concerns do. and
by so doing they can sell the merchant
goods cheaper than can the commis-
sion houses. Mr. Andrews has run his
business in this way for a number of
years and been very succosaful and
confidently believes that be will iii-
crease his business greatly when he
gets the Norwalk plant in good run-
ning order.

The. address Jof the afternoon was
delivered by Rev. E. Laurence Hunt.
of Washington. D. (‘.. who told of the
Junior Republics. which is a govern-
ment of the boys. for the boys and by
the boys. He said:

The National Junior Republic is loca-
rod about 30 miles from Washington.
it. C. in Maryland. It embraces a farm
of 150 acres. and the boys and glrls~-
for there are girls there topmarc usu-
ally orphans or deserted children.
There they have a fine home in a little
country of their own. which they gov~
ern themselves. A boy becomes a cit-
Iaen at 12 and can hold office and vote.
Boys under the age are called "mine
ore." and must have a guardian. Most
of the boys are of the ages of 12 and
ill. but a few are eighteen years of
age.

"There are four things they must
learn." said the speaker. "The first
In work; the second In law; the third
is civic responsibility: and the fourth
is love to man and God."

“The boys are not told they must
work: they can do as they please." he
went on to say, and continued In part
as follows: “But If they do not work.
they get no pay. The coin of the realm
is aluminum, and is given in exchange
for Its face value for labor, merchan-
dise. etc. The pay for labor is accord-
ing to grade, and is 50 etc. a day to 31.

each, or they are roomed and boarded
for 86 a week. has boys take con-
tracts for work, or are employed at
piece work. and the labor is various in
character. There is work for aii.and
if a boy does not earn his own living
he must go hungry."

Mr. Hunt draw most of ins illnetra~
tions from the Georgia Republic in
New York State. which is one of the
same character as the national one.
and longer organised. Of this he told
how the paupers are cared for. The
Industrious once had to pay taxes to
support the Indolent ones. for In spite
of the fact that they are fed on soup
and broad. it cost them a tax of three
cents per capita: and one of the
thoughtful young fellows. who. In spite
of his brief fifteen years of life had a
long head, got a bill introduced in
their legislature that provided that If
a pauper would not work. he must
starve. The bill became a law in less
than an hour. and was at once put into
effect. The lacy boys who were living
at the expense of others laughed and

felt easy about it. but they were not .

given anything to eat. and after going

COLUMBIA. Mica. October zit—The
town of Columbia and its vicinity was
thrown Into great excitement yester-
day by several messengers from the
vicinity of Balltown. I.a.. about In
miles below here. who brought the
news that a race riot had been precip-
itated by the whites and blacks of that
section by the shooting and burning of
the negro. Bill Morris. who criminany
assaulted and almost murdered Mrs.
John Ball. a few days ago. Several
runners brought the news that uumérv
one white men were Wand that, m,
negrocs were arming themselves for
the fray. This information created the
wildest excitement and a number of
men. headed by Deputy Sheriff Bran
ton. of this county. and Marshall T. T.
Ford. of Columbia. all fully armed. left
for the scene of the troubles.

Telegrams were sent to Governor
Heard. of Inirisiaua. by citizens of
Washington Parish. who were in Co-
lumbia. informing him of the situation
and an attempt was also made by Sher-
ii’i‘ Ball. of Marion county. to reach
Governor Longiuo. of Mississippi. As
the wires were down between here and
Jackson for quite a while. nothing
could be accomplished until last oven
lug. after tidings had been received
from the scene of the trouble. Then
answers were received instructing the
sheriffs to call out the nearest troops
if needed.

it seems that a negro named Orea
Lott was really at the bottom of the
trouble. It was reported to the offic-
ers of Washington Parish that Lott.
who lived near Booth. LIL, was run‘
plug a restaurant Without a license at
a camp meeting at Live Oak Church.
where a negro revival was in progress.
The constable of the district gathered
a posse and started to investigate.
Lott was apprised of their approach
In advance and was ready for trouble.
when the posse reached Live Oak
Church.

The posse was about 100 yards from
the church building when ambushed.
and the negroes opened fire from two
or three directions. The constable
bade his men pay no attention to the
firing. as it was from a distance. He
said all he wanted to do was to cap—
ture Lott.

When the restaurant where Lott
had his goods was reached. the posse
was fired on by Lott and nogroes who
were concealed behind the counters.
The firing became general between the
posse and the restaurant crowd. and
also between whites and negrocn all
over the ground.

At this juncture tho posse deemed it
necessary to fire the Lott restaurant.
In order to dislodge his gang. Lott
rushed out when the torch was applied
and discharged a double barrsllcd shot
gun into the crowd of whites. Twenty-
two buck-bot took effect in the side of
Joe Seals. one of tine posse. from the
effects of which he died. A negro who
followed Lott shot arman named idl-
llott. one of them; through the
stomach with a .aseuibre pistol. The

era of the poses had their guns level-
ed and completely riddled their bodies
with bullets. »iiott‘s"head was almost

SHOWEB Nliflliils liF FEAR

Bald he “Killed the President Because
he was an Enemy of the Good
People—of the Good
Working People."

AUBURN. N. Y., October 29—-At
7 : 12:30 . o‘cIOok .this» morning. Leon
Czolgosz, murderer of President Wil~
liam McKinley. paid the extreme pen-
alty enacted by the law for his crime.
He was shocked to death by 1.700 volts
of electricity. He went to the chair in
exactly the same manner as have the
majority of murderers In this state.
showing no particular sign of fear, but
doing what few of them have done—
talking to the witnesses while he was
being strapped in the chair.

"I killed the president because he
was an enemy of the good people—of
'the good working people. I am not
sorry for my crime."

These were his words as the guards
hurried him into the chair.

A moment later mumbling through
the half adjusted face straps he said:
"I am awfully sorry i could not see my
father."

Csolgosz retired last night at 10
o'clock and slept so soundly that when
Warden Mead went to the cell shortly
before 5 o'clock this morning the
guard inside had to shake Caolgosn to
awaken him. He sat up on the side of
his cot and made no reply to the war-
don's greeting of "Good morning.”

The prison official took from his
Docket the death warrant and read it
slowly and distinctly to the assassin.
who hardly raised his eyes during the
perfunctory ceremony.

Just as the warden stopped away
from the cell door Czolgosz called to
him and said: "I would like to talk
with the superintendent."

The warden responded:
be down presently."

Then the condemned man rolled ov-
or on hib cot. apparently anxious to
sleep again.

At 5:16. however. the guard brought
to him a pair of dark trousers. with the
left leg slit up as to allow the free up-

“Ho wiii

. situation ,pf theeloctrode, and a. light

gray outing shirt. He was told to get
up and put these on. which he did.

Contrary to the usual custom he was
given a new pair of sheets. When dress-
ed he lay down on the cot again and
in this attitude. Superintendent Cbllins
founda him at 5:30, when he went
rlowu to visit him.

The superintendent stood In front
of the steel bars and when the guard
had called Czolgosz's attention. he
said:

“I want to make a statement. before
you kill me.‘

“What do you wish to say.
gosh?" asked the superintendent

"i want to make it when there are
a lot of people—4 want them to hear
me." replied are prisoner. ,

”Well, you cannot." said the super-
intcndent.

"Then I won't talk at all." said the
prisoner. sulleniy.

After the superintendent had left.
