REGARDING HElLlHilillEllS
Councilman Sharer Will Communicate
With County Health Officer Hill
‘ Regarding Several Pious in
South Norwalk.‘
—.
The principal business that came be-
fore the South Norwalk Common Coun-
oil. last night. was the matter pertain-
ing to lights under the Monroe street
bridge. it was brought out that the
sidewalks were very dark and that the
railroad company should put up the
lights. A proceeding a little out of the
ordinary took place when Electric
Light Commisisoner Joseph A. Volk
invited the members of the Council to
go out and take a walk. and see for
themselves the condition of the thor-
oughfare in relation to lights. A re-
cess of twenty minutes was taken. it
was decided to order the railroad com-
pany to place incandescent lights un-
der the bridge.
Councilman Sharer. a member of the
Board of Health, said that he had a
little grievance to make in relation to
the way property owners ignore the
orders of the Board of Health. and also
the prosecuting attorney. He wanted
to know what course to pursue. He
stated that he goes ahead and gives or—
ders. and when they are not complied
with. he requests Prosecuting Attorney
William Ii‘. Tammany to issue a war-
rant. and instead. a settlement is made.
Councilman Sherer wants an example
made of some of the men who almost
defy the law. but says that he cannot
get anyone to uphold him in his action.
A lengthy discussion took place on
this matter and it was finally decided
to state all grievances to County Health
Ofl‘l‘oer George E. Hill. of Bridgeport.
and have him deal with the prosecutor.
Mr. Shercr stated that. them was a
place at the corner of Woodward ave.
hue and Meadow ptreet that should
have been connected ‘ygith the sewer ov-
or two year-groom and. although the
Kurd bt-ifldalth had repeatedl order-

pills in n pocket, some matches. and a
small paper bag. half full of ion.
The scene of the accident was a
short distance west of the bridge. The

CUUNSELM@ARGUMENTS
Preliminary Hearing Came to I Sud-
den Termination Yesterday After-
noon snd Chief Vollmsr Took
Prisoner to Bridgeport.
Contrary to expectations the prelim-
inary hearing in the case of Benedetto
D'Onofrlo. for the murder of Garrett
llarry. was concluded yesterday after-
noon. it was the general opinion out—
side of the court officials that the hear-
ing would last at least two days. the
counsel for the accused being generally
credited with a statement to that effect.
Consequently when the trial was
brought to an abrupt termination at
3:20 yesterday afternoon. it occasioned
no little surprise.
The prisoner was bound over by
Judge Taylor. without bail. to the next
term of the Superior Court. which in
effect means a charge of murder In the
first degree.
Chief of Police William Vollmer took
the prisoner on the 4:18 train. to
Bridgeport jail. where he will await in-
oictment by the grand jury. and trial
in the February term of the Superior
Court.
Concluding the cross examination of
Charles O'Toole. who was on the wit-
ness stand. yesterday afternoon. when
The Sentinel went to press. Attorney
Cuneo asked the witness if his mind
was in as good condition on the night
of the murder as it was at the present
titre. to which witness answered that
it was better. as at that time nothing
troubled him. He had known Barl‘y
about three years.
Attorney Cuneo devoted a long time
in trying to-prove that the witness
spent most of the. day in the saloons of
the Twin Cities. Nothing new in the
nature of testimony was developed. the
witness being led over the some ground
as on direct examination. A detailed
series of questions as to the, scene and
incidents of the tragedy was gone over
minutely, and was the. same as al-
ready published. Attorney Cuneo ask-
ed the. witness if he. wanted the court
to understand. it. In his (the witness's)
opinion. the accused shot Barry In cold
blood. Attorney Keogh obiectod to the
aeration and a discus-ion mum on-
poslng counsel ensued. Jlidga Taylor
decided that any opinion the witness
might have would not influence the
court. as it was capable to distinguish
evidence from personal opinion. and
could draw its own conclusions. The
question was allowl and witness on-
swered: “Yes." Witness thought there
was a provocation. and that because
Barry llflii refused the accused man
work illrre weeks previous. accused had
a grudge against him.
On redirect examination by Attorney
Keogh witness said he had no time to
interfere between the tlnle he saw liar-
ry put his hand on accused's shoulder
and the shot being fired. This ended
the testimony of O’Toole.
Edward Brotherton. me conductor of
the car on which the prisoner. Barry
and O'Toole rode on. was the next wit-
ncss. He stated that Barry and O‘Toole
got on his car at 8:04: accused got on
at Monroe street. O‘Toole stood out-
slde on platform. back of the witness.
and Barry went inside and sat down.
llurry came. outside about the vicinity
of the Standard Oil Works and was told
he find not reached where he wanted to
get off. He replied that he knew it.
Witness did not remember the conver-
sution that took place between Barry
and himself. riurry said something
about the witness thinking himself a
better man than lilm. Witness thought
linrry was intoxicated and Judged he
was good natured and able to take care
of himself. Barry, when leaving the
car. shook hands with witness and
said: “You're not mad. are you? i
was only fooling." Heard ilarry ask
O'Toole: "Did the lingo pay his fare?"
and thought it was said in a joking sort
of way. The car had gone about four
lengths when the shot was heard.
which was about a half minute after
the parties had left the car. Witness
was of the opinion that O‘Toole had
been drinking. but was not intoxicated.
The testimony was substantially the
same as the previous witness. and noth-
lng new was brought out on cross ex-
animation.
Chief of Police William Vollmer was
the last witness to be examined. He
testified to be apprised of the murder.
and proceeded to the scene of the trag-
edy. Saw O'Toole and tried to get a
description of the murderer from him.
He told of the investigation and his
efforts to apprehend the murderer. the
details of which Sentinel readers an
already familiar with. He told the
court the statement the prisoner made
to him the night he was placed under-
arrest. which has already been pub-
lished. He asked secllssd what kind of
a gun he had when he was a fugitive.
Ind accused said itwss a gun that shot
one time. meaning a single hurl-sled

oil to ratify the work already done by

power to gonhcud and do everything
in connection with the erection of the

committee be augmented by the fiiifll‘
tion to it of J. A. Osborn sud Hubert
E. Bishop. the former because he has
served on the library board and declin-
ed to be a member of it any longer in
order that H. iii. Bishop. in view of his

A petition for a light on the Stop

Won from St. Christopher Athletic
Club. New York. by Twenty-two to
Nine, and Norwalk University,
Thirty-Six to Fifteen.
Company F opened the basket ball
season at the armory. last night. with
two victories to her credit. The first
team handily defeated the St. Christa.
pher Athletic Club team. of New York
city. by a score of twenty-two to nine.
and the second team or Montuuks
came out victors over the Norwalk lin-
iversity Schoo team by a score of
thirty-six to fl teon.
The attendance was very good.
There was a large number in the gui-
lery and the seats on all four sides of
the armory were filled with intereswd
spectators. That the Company 1“ boys
are general favorites was evinced by
the loud and long cheering when they
made a good play.
Both games were. very interesting
and fast and being the first games of
the season naturally many fouls were
unintentionally made by all four teams
and there was also considerable rough
play in both of the games.
The preliminary game was between
the Montauks and the University
scholars. Both teams worked hard to
win. but the Montsuks were too heavy
for the other players. and in the first
half rolled up a total score of 15. while
the University School team was able
to make but a single goal. In the sec-
and half goals were made at almost
any time. by both teams. as during
this half the Montauks three seven
baskets and the N. U. S. from four.
The University School team threw the
tools oftener, but were unable to hold
their opponents. who. besides being
heavier, played fast ball and would
make a good showing with any team

Naturally the interest in tile sec-

of town. This game was started off
like a whirlwind by Company F and
before the St. Christopher Athletic
Club team were aware of the fact.
Payne had thrown a goal. making the
first score of the game. The New
Yorkers started in to much it slid the
local team was.forccd ill a measure to

VanAlstylne residence to the furni-
ture store of William Podmore. in
North Main street, Where he sold it for
fifty cents. which was better than put:
ting in a seat and getting only thirty-
flve cents. '
Timpson later went to a residence
in West avenue and made a bargain
with the lady of the house to cane
some chairs. The young man told her
he had no money and asked if she
would advance him seventy-five cents
so that he could purchase the cane.
The lady willingly gave him the money
and that is the last she has seen of
Tlmpson or her money.
When the chair belonging to Mr.
VanAlstyne was not brought back. his
suspicions were aroused and he caile
on Chief of Police William Vollm r
and stated the case. After searching a
little. the property was found at Mr.
Podmore's store. Mr. VanAlstyne
paid fifty cents to get it back. and new
he is looking for some one else to put
a cane seat in it.
