is a gentleman who does not mince
matters in his talk. Yesterday in
the civil common pleas court. before
Judge Howard .1 Curtis and a jury he
said some very hard firings about John
G. Crotlrers. a fellow townsman. What
the doctor said would not look well in
print. The words might burn pa
per.
The doctor was riding down one of
Sinmford's back roads on a mission
of humanity one dark night. when he
ran afour of another team which he
claims was traveling along at about
fifteen miles an hour.
As the result of the collision the
doctor was pitched upon his ear and
tsui'fered much bodily damage to say
nothing of ruffled feelings and injury
to property. The other fellow was
bunged about the same way. but. his
feelings suffered less.
When the doctor had gotten himself
together he discovered that. John (1
(frothcrs was. the chap who had run in
to him. 'l‘hc doctor was too unury to
attend to his own injuries. Ilc did not
mince words in giving his opinion or
Mr, i‘rothcrs.
.\ day or two nitcr the accident the
doctor notified M r'. t‘r'others that he in

doctor‘s son Atior'ncy (icorgc 1’
liowell. and file compliant charged thc
defendant with malicious actions and
wilful negligence. Substantial dam
ages were demanded for this violation
of the law.
The case first went to trial in the
Stamford city court and a red hot con
text followed. iaicn A (‘nrtcr con
ducted lilo case for the defendant. Al‘
for the jrrry had heard it they gave the
doctor $25 and costs. This was adding
insult to injury and an appeal was
promptly taken to Ibis court.
The jury was called for today and
the doctor‘s cause was the. first one on
the but ready for trial. He. was the
principal witness In telling of the ac,-
cident and the. jury listened to him
with great attention.
From the doctor‘s story the jury
will be apt to form a very bad opinion
of Mr!Crother‘s veracity. The witness.
was asked:
"Have you an opinion of Mr. Cro-
fliers?"
" 1 have atrd i haven‘t." said the (loc-
tor. “nnd you might take. the illichI‘
both ways.”
“What is your opinion?"
The doctor thought that It, would
not be well to express it. but counsel
insisted and the. witness left no doubts
in the minds of the, jury as to the cs-
timnte he placed on the defendant‘s
standing as a witrwsrr. A number of
other witnesses were examined in be-
halfof the plaintiff. The defendant will
get his innings later. The case is still

SAYIIROOK. November 7——A fortun-

witlr. watchman at Saybrook Point. rur-
doubtedly prevented the looting of a
number of summer cottages belonging
to the Hartford colony. including that
of cit-Governor Morgan G. Hulkeley.
Half a dozen cottages have been brok—
cn into recently. though apparently
nothing has been carried away. and ac-
tive efforts have been made to detect
the intruder. 'lhls morning Mr. fleck-
with and a party of assistants captur-
ed a colored man who was hiding in the
attic owned by L. D. Fiske. of Hartford.
The man gave his name as James
Lovell. of Brooklyn. N. Y.. and is said
to have been employed formerly at Ferr-
wick Ila] . 1n the trial justice's court.
he was bound over to the Superior
Court. in the sum of $700, after plead-
ing guilty to breaking into the Fiske
cottage. He was taken to the jail in
Haddam.
At the Fiske cottage. the captors of
the colored man forlrd a bundle of ar-
ficlcs. including soap. silverware and
clothing. which had been packed up
"early to be carried away. The cottages
of Rev. Francis Goodwin. Dr. f‘alnp-
il"ii. Dr. Taft. Mr. Bulkcley and George
Roberts have also been entered by bur-
glars. who made bundles of silverware
and clothing. apparently with the in~
tention of removing them at a more
convenient time.
MISS MULLALLEY LIBERATED.
Girl Arrested in Darien Out of Jail on
Bond of $200.
Attorney John J. Culco went
‘iridaeport. yesterday afternoon. and
4|Iw‘ccrletl in securing the release of
Tessie Mullnley. the girl who was or"
rested in Darien on the instigation of
William Wurtz. a wealthy man. an ac-
count of which appeared exclusively in
The Sentinel. last Monday. Frederick
Wilkins. of Noroton, went surety for
the accused. in $200 bonds.
Attorney Cuneo appeared before
Judge Howard .1. (‘urtis for the purpose
of having him ‘sign the habeas corpus
proceedings. The judge decided that
the merits of the case could not be
reached. and advised the attorney to
furnish a bond for the release of the
girl. and then move for a dismissal of
the complaint.
Attorney (Tunco arrived from Bridge-
port. in llarien. on the 5:50 train. last
night. and proceeded at once to see the
selectmen of the town. He was in
company with Miss Mullaley. and left
her in the drug store of Samuel Silli-
vnau while he attended to some busi-
tress. Before he returned. Theodore
Austin had found out who the girl was.
and after a little conversation with her.
engaged her as a domestic in his house.
This will probably be the end of the nf~
fair.
It, has been a long time since the
people of Barton have been wrought up
to such excitement as was created.
when Miss Mullulcy was arrested on
what seemed to be very a flimsy charge.
About the only evidence there was
against the girl was to the effect that
she was in the house. and if she didn't
take the 3800 watch. the members of
the household did not know who did.
Mr. Wurtz is credited with saying that
he would spend thousands of dollars to
keep the girl in jail. and the. latter
could hardly believe that she was free
last night. when she was told that she
could go. Mr. Austin says that he titres
not leleve that bliss Mullaley knows
anything about the watch. and is not
afraid to trust her in his house.
GIRLS VISIT PHOTOGRAPH GAL-
LERY.
About forty‘ girls in the manufac-
tory of the R & (,1 Company made a
wholesail raid on the photograph cs-
tablishrnont of N. Michelson. in South
Main street. last evening after the fac-
tory shirt down at 0 o'clock. The. most
of them had their pictures taken a few
days ago and they wanted to got them.
A few of the girls went up at first. but
Were soon followed by the rest“. Mr.
Michelson was dumbfoumlcd to see. so
many pretty girls filing into his place.
They demanded their pictures. The
proprietor told them that the. photo-
grapher was out and would be, back in
about. an hour. They know better. for
they had been there before. They
proceeded to help themselves and
when they had nearly ransacked the
entire. placatho only way Mr. Michel-
son could get rid of them was to turn
out the lights. Several of the girls
screamed and It is said there was near-
ly in panic.

Statements Tomi to Show that the
Admiral Carried Out His 10-
structions with the Great-
est Caution.
WASHINGTON. November 7—The
Schley Court of Inquiry resumed its
sessions. this afternoon. the members
being absent during the. morning. as
Admiral Dewey was moving from his
summer home to his winter residence
in the city. Judge Advocate Lcnrly be~
gan his argument after the preliminary
details of the opening of the court had
been disposed of.
Captain Lctnly said: "With the con-
clusion of a very brief address with
which I shall close the argument in this
inquiry. my principal connection with
it ceases and the matter is left in your
capable hands. 1 may add that while
my duties here. have been arduous and
nix-essarily sometimes painful, i am
proud to have been associated with this
distinguished court. which is to pass
upon one of the most important ques-
tions ever considered by a naval courtw
a question. as I defined it in the early
course of the proceedings. between the
applicant and the morale of the service.
In entering upon my duties as judge
advocate of the court. 1 had in mind ad—
vlcc given me by the secretary of the
navy soon after my appointment. as
follows: 'Admiral Schley asks for a
court of inquiry. A perfectly impartial
court is constituted. The iudkf‘ arlvo
rate and any counsel assisting him are
not (and their duty in this respect is
pl'aini. in court. to prosecute anybody
or to find anybody guilty. but to bring
out the facts and aid the court in de-
claring the truth.’
"I have endeavored to follow this ad
vice without fear or favor. If 1 havt‘
appeared to fail in maintaining that
Impartial attitude which I have always
felt towards the applicant. it is because
aggression. however natural on the part
of earnest counsel. begts aggression.
and for the further return that in many
instances throughout the investigation
honest difference of opinion has com~
pelled me. to be earnestly contentious in
order to adduce what 1 believed to be
material facts. I deem it not. appro-
priate that I should here remark that
the Navy Department in this matter
has maintained an entirely neutral at-
titude. that l have not been interfered
with it by my conduct of the case. that
as thc rccord rlvz'lrnonstrntcs. there has
been no alteration of the department's
records: flint of course on duty. even
in thc much-abused Mur'ea of Naviga-
lion. hay»,- frwcly icsliilcd in lrchulf of
'Ir'v applicant; and 1 our i'tllliifit'lll that
the evidence illirillt‘i'li fully iiwiifici tbr
views of the department. set forth in
its reply of It‘cl'rruury ii. 1899. to the
Senate (‘ornmittee on Naval Affairs
wherein it is said of Commodore
Schley. referring particularly to the na—
val buttle of July 3. 1898:
“ ‘\\'here so much was achieved in
this culminating battle. and where hi
ship wassuch a conspicuous force in
the fight. his conduct while in indepcn~
d.nt command prior to June 1. the rec-
ord of which has been given above. and
which by reason of its unsteudiness in
purpose and in push. and in failure to
obey orders did not meet the approval
of the president and the department
was yet not pelmitted to stand in the
way of his nomination for promotion
to a higher grade for tire part he took
in the filial triumph.
Captain Lenrly then said that the
voluminous evidence had been so fully
treated in all of its bearings that it was
not his purpose to enter upon a detailed
discussion of it. Beginning with the
passage of the Flying Squadron from
Key West to Cicni‘ueaos. in search of
the Spanish fleet under Admiral Cer-
vera. he said that while the speed set
by the applicant from Key West to
Cienfucgos was but ten knots. under the
than existing conditions of wind and
Weather greater speed might have been
maintained. Other delays of this voy-
age. were referred. It should. he
thought. he remembered that Commo-
dore Schley‘s orders required that the
blockade of that port be established
with the least possible delay.
Reference was made to the interview
with Captain Chester. of the Chi
cinnnti. on this trip. and Captain Lom-
ly said: "Already an appeared from
their conversation. Commodore Schley.
though reassured by )nptaln Chester.
was troubled in his own nrlnd over coal
conditions and the problem of cooling
at sea. demonstrating that at the very
outset he was borrowins trouble."
Reforming o the McCalla signals. he
said it was clear that the. Marbl head
had not arrived at Key West. wh n the
Flying Sqtradron sailed. and therefore
that the signals could not have been
communicated to Commodore Schiey
there. "There is little doubt. however."

HAYES JURY our.
Judge Elmer Occupies an Hour in Giv-
ing the Charge.
l.l'l‘i.‘H FlELD. November 7—As early
as 8 o'clock this morning many specta-
tors presented themseIVes for admis-
sion to the county court room, to wit-
ness the proceedings of what was ex-
nected to be the. last day of the Hayes
murder trial.
The court session opened at the usual
hour. 10 o'clock. and State Attorney
Donald '1‘. Warner resumed his argu-
ment for the state at the point where
be stripped yesterday afternoon. He
occupied a little less than an hour.
Judge Elmer then began ‘his charge.
which lasted just about one. hour. In
opening the judge said: "Gentlemen of
the Jury: The facts ‘In this care are
now in your possession. After the
"barge of the court it will remain for
a you to decide whether or not the pris-
oner at the bar is guilty of the crime
with which he is charged."
Judge Elmer then rehearsed the WW
ious points of law to be conserved. He
dwelt. at some length on the insanity
phase of the evidence. in this connec-
tion. he spoke substantially as follow r:
"The defense has Introduced expert tes-
timony tending to show that the accus-
ed was of unsound mind or that there
is a reasonable doubt as to his snuitv.
you must give him the benefit of the
doubt.
"0n the other hand the state has pre-
sented witnesses. many of whom are
from the immediate home of the mucus-
ed. They do not claim to be experts.
but from the fact that they are funnie-
Iar with the character and life of tho.
prisoner in that community. they are
eligible as witnesses and their testic-
mony bi entitled to Weight. It. is for
you to determine the value of their to».
timony. This evidence has tended to
show that the prisoner was at times in-
clined to be domineering. of quick tem-
per und of a selfish diupolition.” ’
Judge Elmer concluded his charge at
aboutrnoon. and at 12:02 the jury reu
tired to consider their verdict.
