liidioations That He Was Elean-
iiig do Iild lierolrer

Edward Augustus Boston, a batter.
fifty years old. accidentally shot him-
self just below the sixth rib at his
home in Ely avenue. near tiie Wilson
Point road. between 3 and 4 o‘clock.
yesterday afternoon. The ball enter~
ed the lower edge of the heart and
death was instantaneous.

The news of Mr. Bouton's death
spread rapidly and it was first stated
that lie had committed suicide. His
most intimate friends, who thorough.
ly knew him. could not believe such
a report. and when Medical Examiner
S. H. Huntington made an examina-
tion, he soon exploded the suicide
theory. Dr. Huntington says that there
was no indication whatever that the
man had taken his life. while on the
other hand there was every reason to
believe that the shooting was purely
accidental.

When the unfortunate man was
shot. he was evidently standing by
the kitchen tabie. cleaning his thirty-
two calibre rev0iver. He tell back~
ward and when found was lying partly
on his left side. with the pistol at his
side. on the floor. 0n the table was a
bottle of oil. an open jack-knife. three
empty cartridge shells and one loaded
shell. Only one empty shell remain-
ed in the cylinder. the bullet from
which pierced Mr. Boutou's heart.

The cylinder was quite rusty and
all the shells which had been removed
were badly scratched about the rims.
The revolver is one‘ that had not been
used in some time. and become rusty.
The theory of the medical examiner
is that Mr. Bouton was removing the
cartridge With the muzzle of the fire-
arm pointing at his side. He either
did not know there was a loaded can
fridge in tile cylinder or he was care-
less.

Mr. Bouton was last employed in
the hat manufactory of W. B. Hubbcll
and had been out of work since last

A Sentinel reporter called on Attor-
ney Vosburgh. this morning. and be
authorized the following statement re—
garding the school trouble in Roway-
ton:

"i have refrained from newspaper
comment on this Rowaytou school mat-
ter. because i do not believe. on general
principles. as i have before stated. in
fighting my cases through the news-
papers. liiit so much has been said of a
misleading nature. that i think the
wrong impressions now current. should
be corrected.

"1 was astonished at the‘artlcle pub-
lished in last evening's Sentinel. i
know The Sentinel’s reputation as a
clean and trustworthy newspaper. and
saw at once the paper had been inten—
tionally misinformed concerning the
article headed "Ultimatum in School
Scandal." and stating that Mr. Stevens
and Mr. Light had a conference Wed-
ncsday afternoon. the result of which
was that Mr. McClellan was told by Mr.
Stevens to prove his charges against
Miss Erwin. or resign.

“I saw Mr. Stevens in Rowayion. last
evening. and be informed me that no
such conference with Mr. Light. or dc
mood on Mr. McClellan had been made
In fact. I personally accompanied the
person entrusted to deliver Mr. Stevens
the resolution of the school board. re-
ferring to Mr. Stevens the resolution of
the school board referring to Mr. Stev-
ens the petition asking for Mr. Mc-
Clellun’s removal from the school. so
that at the time the alleged demand

made. the resolution of the board was
not even in Mr. Stevcnss possession
As matter of facts. Mr. Stevens has not
demanded Mr. Mcfllellau’s resignation.
nor has he commanded McClellan to
prosecute Miss Erwin.

"i think the respectable citizens of
Rowayton are entitled to know these
facts. and many of them believe that a
systematic effort Is being made by a
small coterie in that community to cre-
ate an artificial sentiment of antagon-
ism against my clients. the McClellan's.
by the spreading of misleading infor-
mation. and false and wholly unwar-
ranted statements. The petition above
referred to is but a link In the chain of
this ell’ort. but unfortunately for the
enemies of Mr. McClellan. the petition
has had an effect directly opposite to
the one intended. No move of his ene-

this attack upon him. The majority of

Carnegie-Bishop Striiotiiie

Eoiitraots To lie dwarded Soon;
Work Commences in Spring

 

The building committee of the Car-
ncgie Bishop libitiiy held a meeting
last night in the par or of the N61 walk
Ciiib and exaniinod‘ 0 plans and spec-
ifiiutions for the libiuiy building sub
mined by the architects and are. very
much satisfied with the work. There
were present the full committee. com-
posed of ExMayor Charles L. Glover.
Dr, J. G. Gregory. Hilbert E. Bishop. J.
l", Treudwell and .i. A. Osborn.

The plans and specifications call for
to buildings of which the people of the
city can justly feel proud and it will be
architecturally beautiful and very t‘illll
medians and comfortable.

A description of the proposed build
ing gathered from available informu
tion appeared in The Sentinel when
liubei't E. Bishop recorded the trans
for of the library lot which be present
cd to the city in the town clerk's of
ilcc.

About that time the architects sub
mitted a rough sketch for the build
ing at that time. the main features of
which bavc not been materially chsng
id. The structure will be of brick. It
has been determined to face the build
ing toward Beldeii avenue and it will
have a frontage of eighty-two feet.
The building at its deepest point will
be about eighty feet. There will be
one main floor with a basement and an
attic floor. It is ilic intention to uti.
line the basement for an auditorium
where at least 200 people. can be. com
fortuble seated. it will not be finish
cd oil into a hall at present for the
reason that with the money available
it will not be possible to do this.

The main floor will be for library-
purposes and will be thoroughly up-to
date in all its appointments. The
plans call for two reading rooms of
generous proportions leading off from
the center hall at the entrance in the
center of the front side. The roar of
the building is In ll semi-circle and in
this portion will be the racks of books.
a window at the end of such little lane
between the racks

Provision in also made. for the ilbra
rian a room on this floor.

All the. specification call for the host
of everything and are Iron bound.
Whoever the contractor is who secures
the work will have do some carefu‘

gurlng and he will contract strictly to
t c stipulations in the plans and upset
fication. It is more than likely that
the contractor who erects the building
will be obliged to put a bond. as the
committee will not care to take any
chances on the work.

Work will be started Just as early as
possible in the spring and money as
needed to the amount of 820.000 will
be drawn on Mr. Carnegie as the build-
Ing progresses.

Arthur Adams. of the Nor-walk store
of the Adams Provision Company, act-
ed in the role of rescuer yesterdty
morning. Arthur was driving past
the residence of William B. Newcomb.
in Westport avenue, when suddenly
his attention was drawn to the well
in the yard by someone calling to him
to come down and let him out. He
investigated and found that the sound
came from Mr. Newcomb. and the lat-
ter was firmly caged in the well house.
Mr. Newcomb had lost a bucket down
the well and was making an attempt. to
recover it. To do this he climbed iii-
to the well shed and braced himself
against the side wall. While he was
at work the wind blew the door of the
shed shut and locked it. There was
no avenue of escape for Mr. Newcomb
and his position was a perilous one
and very tiresome. He was soon lib-
crated by Mr. Adams. who opened the
door. Mr. Newcomb’s folks were all
away at the time and had. not Mr. Ad-
ams happened along he might have
been obliged to remain in this media
fortablc position for some time.
