The South Norwalk Congregational
Church was taxed to Its utmost capac-
ity. last night. when the evening ses-
sion of the seventh annual convention
of the Connecticut Branch of the Inter-
national Order of the King's Daughters
and Sons was held. The auditorium Was
packed with people and the large Sun-
day school room In the rear was open-
ed and this was filled. The church pre-
sented a pretty appearance. and the
decorations on the pulpit platform were
on an elaborate scale. Rich flowers
sent up sweet perfume until the entire
edifice was filled. Across the front of
the organ was a handsome silk Amer-
ican flag, caught up in the center with
- the emblem. of the order, the silver mai—
tese cross. mounted with the order's
.colors, purple. the letters being “I. H.
N." These crosses were dotted every-
where through the church. and In sev-
eral places the}v were mounted on
staffs. showing where the various coun-
ty branches of the order was. ted.
Purple and white ubounded, an the
young ladies who acted as ushers. attir-
ed In white and wearing a handsome
purple badge. made the effect complete.
They Were Misses Nina Zelnff. llna
Force. Clara Dibble. Mabel Ferris. Lil—
lian St. John. Lillian Bartram. Lillian
Williams. Marion Nash. Ruth Kendall.
Katherine Hunter and Bessie Stow.
The music rendered on this occasion
was of tho highest order. The session
opened with singing of hymn 882.
“Lead. Kindly Light." by the choir of
the South. Norwalk Congregational
Church. consisting of Miss Agnes Chap-
ourinn. soprano; Mrs. Edward J. Sims.

r : ,
”or. Weir Mitchell. In his ”Charac-
teristics" says that our usual greetings
and salutations "How do you do?" and
“How are you today?" are a national
lmpollteness. for they continually re-
mind men that they are but mortal and
liable to be sick at any time. And if.
thus publicly and according to pro-
gram. 1 bid you welcome It may imply
to the more sensitive spirits that under
some conditions you might not be wel-
come. Of course you are welcome! All
who enter these church doors are wel-
come. and you doubly so. You are the
King’s Daughters. and we are the
King's children. and this is the King's
house. -But I extend to you our heart-
iest welcome. because of what Christ-
ian womanhood means and because of
the idea for which your order stands.
Christian womanhood means the sav-
Ing of the race Woman was once re-
garded as a tempttess—an idea that
colors the story of Eden—and one of
the sources of evil. Now she is recog-
nised as more religious than man and
is looked to as oncof the main sources
of good. Waman'l position is an exalt-
ed one. for the true knight ever wears
his lady‘s colors and measures to her
standards. If she sets her. standard
low, his will be low; if she sets them
him. his will be high! What she re-
quires he gives. Social purItY. the mor-
al tone of the community. public vir-
tue. are largely in your hands. We are
what you make us.
low. and as you live the white life of
the Nazarene. we follow on. as the tides
follow the moon. Next to Christ we
look to Christian womanhood for the
redemption of society.
You are welcome again because of
the ideals of your order. You are
King's Daughters because you strive
to be like the King. the. sisters of Christ
because like the Christ. you would do
loud to every creature. We honor the
prooticclflhristllkonecs of your order.

The Police Run Down Many Clues. but
Have not Yet Captured the
Man. who is Believed to
be Hiding Nearby.
The coroner's inquest into the cause
of the killing, Monday night. when Gar-
rett Barry was shot down by Benedetto
Denovrio. was commenced In the South
Norwalk court room. at 2:30 o'clock,
yesterday afternoon, Coroner Charles
A. Dutch, of Bridgeport. and Medical
Examiner S. H. Huntington. of Nor-
walk. having charge. Only one witness
was put upon the stand. and then the
inquest was adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning. so other witnesses could
be present.
The witness yesterday afternoon was
Charles O'Toole. the man who was with
Barry and Dcnovrio when the shoot-
ing took place. He stated that there
was no trouble whatever; that the men
scorned to be in good spirits. He ad-
mitted that they had been in Adam
Singer's saloon In South Main street.
and that they had a few drinks. As he
did not in em to know what happened
previous to the shooting, he was dis-
missed. and the inquest adjourned.
The coroner and medical examiner
were on hand at 10 o‘clock. this morn-
ing. and Edward Brothcrton. the con-
ductor on the car that carried the men
to Witch Lane, on that fatal night. was
put upon the stand. He said that he
noticed the three men. and that Barry
was very much intoxicated, He said
very little to the Italian. All he heard
Barry say was to O'Toole. which was
"Dldthis ‘Dago' pay his fare?" O‘Toole
answered that he did not. ”I‘ll have
to got the conductor to put him off."
said Barry. The Italian looked up and
smiled. “I judged that it was all a
joke." said Brotherion. “I heard the
shot when the car was about four car
lengths from the men. I thought It
was some one hunting in the woods. 1
Very often hear shots fired In the woods
but pay no attention to them. I do not
know what had happened Imtii I re-
turned with the car from Stamford.
When the man got off the caret Witch
Lune. I should judge that it was about
8:18 o‘clock.” ,
Chief of Police William Vollmer was
then called. He told about remivinp
the information that murder had been
commltietd. and how be followed up
clue after clue. and notified the offi-
cials in the surrounding country. His
story was substantially the some as ap-
peared In last night's Sentinel.
Coroner lloien thought he would like
to recall O’Toole. and sent Constable
John .I. Goodwin to find him. O‘Toole
did not appear In time. so the coroner
took the 11 o‘clock train for Bridge-
port.
It appears now that the name of the
assassin was not spelled properly yes-
terday. Chief Vollmer has procured
the right name which Is Benedetto
I)‘0nofrio. The man has not been cap-
tured as yet. but the police are strain-
ing every energy to locate him. They
have been notified by several that they
have seen the murderer. Shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock. last night. a telephone
message was received at police head-
quarters to the effect that D‘Onofrio
was seen at Ely Neck. and that be dis-
appeared In the woods. A posse of
men was at once sent out in search of
the fugitive. but they were unsuccess~
ful in finding him. It was learned that
the assassin had called at the house
of three or four friends In Ely avenue.
yesterday afternoon. Another report
early this mornln sent the police on a
wild goose chase out on the Danbury
railroad. The officers went in teams.
The woods. and every barn along the
way Were searched. No one in that
section had seen the man.
Constable Edward J. Ladriglm. of
Rowayton. telephoned to Constable
Goodwin. this morning. that the mun
derer had been seen In the woods be-
tween Noroton and Darlen. shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock, last night. Men were
sent out. but this search also proved
fruitless.
Coroner Dofen In of the opinion that
from the evidence received so for. and
he does not think any more light can
be thrown on the case. that It will be a
hard matter to convict D'Onfrio when
caught. of murder in the first degree.
And from all accounts it will be just as
hard to convict him of murder in the
second degree. for Dr. V. G. Tito. the
Jillian physician. says that D'Onofrio
is mentally unbalanced. It caught. it
is thought. insanity will be his plea.
Several who know D'Onofrio claim that
he is loans. that ho bus on ungovern-
able temper. and thlt he is morons at
times. The police are In hopes of cap.
turing him before night. '
Deputy Sheriff Scolioy received word .
this morning that thtI murderer had
been seen in Stamford. and he started
immediately for that city. He found

The course of lectures. which the

than pleased.
The speaker was inlrmlucml by Prin.

I..lTCi-IFIELD, October (lo—More re-
buttal testimony In addition to that
given yesterday afternoon. was pre-
sented by the State. in the trial of John
'1‘. Hayes. today. Acquaintances of
Hayes gave evidence of his apparent
sanity shortly before the tragedy.
The first witness was Mrs. Jennie E.
Griffin. of Winsted, who said she had
known Hayes twelve years. and that he
boarded at her house for a time. She
saw him the Sunday before the shoot—
ing. Hayes was at that time in church.
and seemed to be snnc. Regarding his
disposition. she said he was quick tem-
percd. and always wanted Ills own way.
In cross examination by Judge liris~
cue, for the defense, the witness said
also was on intimate terms with Hayes
l-lhc identified two letters which Judge
Briscoc showed her. They were written
by her to Hayes, asking him to get em-
ploymcnt for her son and each ended:
“I hope I will be able to repay you
some time."
Herbert Wctmoro, an employee of flu
lilhcrt (‘lork (loulpany. and superin-
tendent of the First Congregational
Sunday school. was recalled. He saw
Hayes on the Sunday before the trag-
edy. Hayes passed the collection plate.
in the judgment of the witness. he was
sane.
Alice Shrine. of Winstcd. said she had
seen Hayes five or six times. the last
time at the Christmas reception In the
Gilbert Home in 1900. Winnie Cooke
was not with him at that time. The
witness did not observe any strange
acts on the part of Hayes. but thought
him certainly sane. She was asked in
cross examination if she had ever seen
an Insane person. and replied that she
had seen a number of them.
Miss Louise B. Wheeler. of Winstcd
testified that Hayes once called at Ulf
home of her sister. where thc witness
boarded. and asked the witness to take
a letter from him to Winnie Cooke. at
the Gilbert Home. The date was Janu-
ary 28. she said. When she refused to
convey the message. Hayes said be was
sorry. and thought Winnie was too. He
added that the l’étter contained an apol-
ogy on his part and a few things he
wanted to say to Winnie. He said he
was at fault in fills instance. butdhai
ili‘ had not always been. Tho witness
thought Iluycs acted like a sane person
at this time.
Miss Wheeler then told how Miss
Cooke. on our om-usiou. came to his
sister's house and changed her bicyE-le
shirt. The skirt was plaidcd on one
side and gray on the other. Miss Cooke
turned it so that the gray side was out
doing it for a joke. she said. as she
knew Hayes was coming. thn Hayes
arrived. he picked the girl up and sat
her down in a chair. nearly tipping ov—
er a lamp. Miss Wheeler said Hoyes's
disposition was unpleasant. and that
he treated Miss Cooke harshly at times.
Cross examined by Judge Briscoe.
Miss Wheeler said Winnie changed her
skirt to tease Hayes. and that he fol-
lowed Winnie and the witness to a
room up stairs and made Winnie prom-
ise not to wear the skirt that way
again. Hayes asked Winnie if she
hadn't been a little bit wrong. and then
turning to the witness. said: "Winnie
and I understand each other.
He then wanted the witness to leave
the room. but she told him that it was
no time to talk to Winnie. as she was
feeling badly. and crying. Hayes fin-
nily left.
Mrs. Emma J. Busby, of Winstcd. a
sister of Miss Wheeler. corroborated
her testimony. and said Hayes was as
sane as any one who is considered none.
The next witness. George Sanford. of
Winsicd. who worked at the spine
bench with Hayes in the shop of the
Gilbert Clock Company. He considered
Hayes perfectly sane. The witness said
Hayes was jelly and jovial until his
path was crossed; then he was cross
and moan. Hayes was of a selfish dili-
pocition. and always wanted more than
his share of work. when there was on-
ly a little to be bad. When cross on-
amlncd. the witness was asked if he
had any feelings against Hayes. and
he replied: "Yes." He added:
"iiayes bad no feelings against me u
long as I let him have his own way.
Once when i told Hayes he was taking
more than his share of work. be re-
plied thct he was looking out for him-
iseif. and that I must do the come.”

Hayes cone or Insane. the. defense in-
torpond an objection. but in cost case
