Robert Birch, a Wall Known Resident,
Selected as the Object of Some
Ruffian’o Design-189nm Men
Making an investigation.
The Fairiield seiectmen are to inves-
tigate as to who the parties were who

a Joke on Robert Birch. of that town.
several days ago and which might have
proven fatal if Birch had not by good
fortune left his room just as he did.
Birch made a complaint to the select-
men several days ago that someone
had tried to blow up his house with a
bomb. No particular attention was
paid to it at the time, but since then
the authorities have looked into the
"matter and say that they are of the
opinion that an attempt was made to
blow up Birch's house and kill him.
Birch is one of the characters of
Southport, is about seventy years old.
and lives alone in a house near the
round house, which his daughter. who
lives in New York. bought several
years ago an gavo him the. life use. of.
Birch is eneraIly a law abiding citizen
and is in on care of by the town, and
is said to be very noticeable unless he.
~ is intoxicated. and then he terrorizes
all who come in contact with him. and
on this account has made a number of
enemies in the town. This is what the
authorities claim may he the cause of
the'attempt made on his life several
days ago. _
instead of burning coal Birch has
been in the habit of burning wood.
which be cute in the woods in the rear
of his home and keeps in a shed. Sev-
eral days ago he went to the wood pile
and brought in an armful of wood and
started a fire in his kitchen. After
lighting the fire he fortunately left the
room. and had only gone a short dis-
tance ,w entire heard a iouncl report,

someone had made a bomb and put it
in his stove and had tried to blow up
his house. He informed the selectmen
of what had happened. and they
thought someone had put up a joke on
the old man and did not think any

She and a Companion Wedded Two
Men in Derby Under Peculiar Cir-
cumstances. and Eiopcd With-
in Half an Hour.
NEW HAVEN, November il——Edith
and Edward. and Grace and George are
married, all right, but Edith. who is
only 18. has come to her senses, and
sought the help of Attorney Jacob
Goodhart to sever the tie that binds.
He has filed an order before the Super-
ior court. asking for the annulment of
the marriage. claiming that Edward
did not tell the truth about Edith‘s age.
giving it as 21. when, in reality, she is
but 18. In this state me bride has to
be 21 to marry without the consent of
her parents; '
This is a very peculiar story, for
Edith and Edward. and George and
Grace were married by the flip of a
coin. So far as it went the conditions
might have been reversed and Edith
might have claimed George rather than
Edward. 'i‘liey tossed the col and
that settled it. Edith was a bri c for
only an hour or two. She was mar-
ried Thursday afternoon. ran away
from her husband in company of an-
other man. and next day sought Attor-
ney Goodhart. Just what has become
of George and Grace is uncertain. They
have not been heard from thus far.
Edith's full name is Edith Badman.
She was once known as Edith (lodskey.
of Collinsviiie. and her father, Mitchell
Godskey. lives in that town. She and
her chum. Grace Martin, of Bridgeport
girl. had been having a “higli-fallut»
lag" time in the Park City and finally
grew weary of it all. Then they took
thetrain for Derby and put up at the
Hoffman House there.
They hadn't been there long before
they met Eddie and George. Eddie is
Eddie Bowman. it is said that he spent
the summer at Bevin Rock. eating
horse shoes. tacks. nails. milk bottles
and door hints. He has an awful appe-
tite and can out what's in front of him
icorge is George Newberg. He is said
to be a New York drummer. who has
seen a good deal of life and found time
to do business “on the side."
When these four congenial spirits got
together at the Hoffman House in Der-
by there was a general season of con-
gratulation and good cheer. There were
various and several drinks ordered in
stored away. and still the handshaking
kept up and there was a constant re-
newal of old acquaintance.
Finally it popped into somehody's
head that the best thing to be done
would be to be married. "Let’s all get
married!" somebody said. and every—
body eise said: ”Bully for you!" Then
the question arose as to who should
marry whom-only a little bit of a
question and soon solved. They flipped
a penny and it was settled. Edith and
Edward were betrothed and so were
Grace and George. That was easy.
The license was the next thing. The
loving couples tumbled into a hack and
were driven to the office of Judge Me-
Mahon, registrar of vital statistics in
Derby. He issued the necessary pa-
oers. Eddie said his intended was 21.
when she is only 18, but that didn‘t
patter. Everybody was in a very bap-
oy frame of mind and even the sedate
fudge felt “kinder nervous" himself.
But he finally managed to also the pa‘
cars and sent the young folks off re-
Ioiclng. ’
Then for the ceremony. It took less
than no time to find Justice of the
Peace Howard Peck. He was surpris
ed. but obliglng. He tied the whole
business up in a hard knot and did the
Job in loss than ten minutes. it was
a good Job—even if It was done in a
big hurry. Then the brides and grooms
got into their back and went back to
the Hoffman House. ‘
Soon after the wedding party had re-
turned to the hotel-«this being on
Thursday afternoon-a young fellow
from Bridgeport arriveli. He knew
Edith and greeted her in the old famil-
iar way. He was told to take a seat
in the rear. it checked him to be treat-
ed IO shabblly. but he made inquiries
and found out that he had been tryins
to flirt with the bride. or at least with
one of him. Then he set his teeth and
resolved. He soon found on opportun-
ity to whisper a word to Edith. It was
. to the effect that if she wanted to tie
up to a chap that could eat horse shoes
,and whose stomach was lined with are
brick. by. all right-that’s all he
wanted to know about her. .
Edith than made resort to the usual
game. She began to cry.

TOPEKA. Kan, November 11~Sher~
iii Cook and Deputy Sheriff Williams,
of this county. were captured by two
escaped convicts from Fort Leaven~
worth military prison yesterday after-
noon at Pauline, five miles south of
Topeka. and held prisoners for several
hours. The convicts finally escaped
between a line of police and are now
at large. ‘
At 2:30 o‘clock yesterday afternoon
some farther boys near Pauline learn-
ed that the convicts were in the neigh-
borhood. Forming a posse. they gave
chase. Neither of the convicts was
armed and they were unable to make a
stand. Later Sheriff Cook and Depu-
ty William arrived. Coming upon the
convicts both officers fired. wounding
the men.
The convicts then tied through a
small opening in the timber and run
into the house of Former Wooster.
Sheriff Cook telephoned to Topeka
for assistance. and then took up the
chase. Thinking the convicts had run
around the house. Cook darted through
the open door. intending to surprlce
them at the rear door. But instead of
this, the convicts had gone into the
house. and the officer almost fell into
their arms.
Sheriff (look was ordered to slve up
his gun. which he did. Deputy Williams
entered without knowing what had
happened inside. and he. too. was
made captive by the convicts.
in the meantime. Chief Stahl. of To
oaks, and eight officers. were on their
way. They arrived at the Wooster
house about an hour after the officers
had been imprisoned. Chief Stahi im~
mediately began negotiations with the
convicts to give up their prisoners. and
to surrender themselves. but the con
victs only laughed. Farmer Wooster
then managed to get a gun and was
about to make an attack on the con-
victs when one of them laid him low
with a blow from the butt of a revolver
taken from one of their captives. The
convict broke. Woostor'u right hand
and made an ugly gash in his head
One of the convicts told Sheriff Cook
that he would be killed if he. made the
slightest move looking toward their
capture. in the meantime the police
officers on the outside had surrounded
the building. but were afraid to make
a move for fear Cook and Williaim
would suffer.
Mrs. Woostcr had fainted during the
excitement. She finally revived. and at
7 o'clock the convicts placed the wom‘
an and Sheriff Cook in front of them a“
shields and made for the doors.
Then. after exacting a promise from
the sheriff that he would not permit
any of the officers outside to fire on
them. they started for the open.
As they left the house the frighten
ed farmer, his wife and the submissive
sheriff before them. the convicts pass
cd between a cordon of police th'
could easily have captured them, and
started for the railroad track. The
sheriff. in turn. had exacted a promise
from the police that they would no'
molest the convicts and they did not.
After covering a considerable dis
tnnce down the tracks the convict'
suddenly disappeared through a hedge
fence. biddlna the officers a machine
farewell. One of the police sergeants
later said he could have easily touched
the leadlna convict with his hand as
he passed him. '
The convicts had secured a good
start before the officers had recovered
from their surprise] Then some 0"
the policemen wanted to pursue. bui
Sheriff Cook would not permit it. as hr
had promised the convicts immunity
from arrest.

Hia Application for Reinstatement
Brings About Another Complaint.
The motion made by suspended at-
torney Joseph A. Gray, of Norwaik, for
reinstatement as a practicing attor-
ney, has resulted in we filing of an
other complaint against him by the
grievance committee, of the Fulrfleld
County bar. in addition to the. com-
plaint which has already been lodged
against him, bearing of which is s....
pending in the superior court. The new
complaint, like the old ones, is for the
failure to follow directions is regard
to certain funds entrusted to his keep-
ing by clients. '
The. latest complaint alleges that in
1895 Mr. Gray was attorney for the
Prentice Brothers Company of WOFCSS~
tor, Mass. An attachment for cer-
tain bills was made by Constable
Thomas Hunt at their instance, on
goods supposed to belong to Bernard
McGovern. but which in fact belonged
to the estate of Nelson Taylor. A
replevin suit was instituted, and a
judgment was given against the con-
stable for $46.56. As the constable was
to have been secured by too parties
for whom he served the papers. Pren-
tice Brothers Company forwarded the
amount of the Judgment "to Mr. Gray.
who failed to satisfy the judgment
with it and who has since failed to
make the amount good.
