There was another turn in the tu-
multuous affairs of Grace Baptist
Church, last night. when Chief of Po-
lice Bradley placed the Rev. D. C.
Thomas. who claims to be the pastor.
but whom the governing forces of the
church say. has been deposed. under
arrest and escorted him to police. head-
quarters Iu Water street. He was not
held. however. but was released on his
own recognizance.

The charge against Mr. Thomas was
trespassing in the church. after he had
been repeatedly warned to keep out of
the building. The trustees were given
as the complainants in the case. and it
is understood will prosecute the pans
or.

it appears that there is a peculiar
state of affairs in the local court over
the matter. nearly the whole court be~
ing disqualified from trying the case.
Judge Lockwood has been consulted by
the anti-Thomas faction and Prosecut-
ing Attorney William F. Tammany is
interested In the side of Rev. Thomas.
Prosecuting Attorney John .I. Walsh is
unable to be present. owing to his
manifold duties as chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
This leaves Judge Taylor as qualified
to preside over the case. but there is
no prosecuting attorney to look after
the interests of the state.

It was determined to bring the mat-
ter to a head, yesterday. and last even-
ing. about 7:30 o‘clock, Chief Bradley
sauntered down toward Butler street.
where the little. colored church is lo-
cated. He was met by some of the
trustees. who told him that at 6:30
there had been a light in the church.
but it was later extinguished. and they
waited for Chief Bradley to arrive be-
fore doing anything.

lipon the arrival of the chief. some
of the officials of the church accom-
panied him into the building by way
of the basement. At that time the
edifice was entirely dark. the light hav-
ing been extinguished. No one had
left since the light was first seen. and
it was known that someone must be
inside.

The party made a thorough search
of the building. but they could find
no one. Finally one of the party at-
tempted to open the door into a lit-
tle room adjoining the pulpit. but it
refused to yield. as it was locked.
Sounds were heard from within. and
one of the trustees told the person in-
side to open the door. but there was
no answer. A council of war resulted
in someone procuring an ax from the
basement. to be used in smashing in
the door. Upon the advice of Chief
Bradley. the trustees made a final de-
mand to the person within to unlock
the door. and gave warning that un-
less this was done. they would force
their way. it did not take long for the
door to open. and the Rev. Mr. Thomas
emerged. much to the surprise of Chief
Bradley. who thought probably some
one of the preachers friends was in
the room.

The chief then placed Rev. Thomas
butler arrest. and told him to accum-
pauy him to the police station. Arrlv.
ing at headquarters. word was sent to
Judge E. M. Lockwood. who arrived a
few moments later. and agreed to re-
lcaac Mr. Thomas on his own recog-
nisanco. until he should be sent for to
appear before the (Muff.

Chief Bradley had made arrange»
menis for Special Officer lanttheriand
to appear at the church. and he arriv-
ed before the chief and the preacher
started for police headquarters. Officer
Motherland remained at the church
until the excitement! subsided. ir‘ol‘
lowing the departure of Rev. Thomas
and Chief Bradley there was a lengthy
wrangle between the two factions of
the church. but nothing of a serious
nature resulted.

TWO HUNTERS UNDER ARREST
Herb-y Waite". Jr., and Peter Larsen
Shot Farmer Chandra.

Henry Walters. Jr.. and Peter Lar-
son Were the young men who delib-
erately shot at and wounded Jacob
Chandra. the German farmer, Wednes-
day afternoon, at his home on the
Fillow Ridge road. West Norwalk. The
young men were apprehended yestbr»
day afternoon by Chief of Police Wil~
liam Vollmer and Officer Walter Hall,
who had a fairly good description of
tho.boys and easily recognized them.
When qrrestloncd as to why they had
not given themselves up before they
replied that they were afraid after
they had committed the act and had
kept away from the officers until yes-
terday afternoon. .

The young men were placed in the
police station in Haviland street, but
were soon after released, Herman
Qulitncr furnishing the necessary
bonds. $300. $li30 for each. Their case
came up this morning before Judge
Taylor and was continued until one
week from tomorrow at 9 o'clock in
the Town Court room, in Havlland
street. when Chundre will be able to
appear. The. boys in telling their
side of the. story. state that they did
not see the signs on the property and
that the farmer became wrathy and at-
tacked them with a pitcbfork. One of
them. it Is claimed, fired at the ground
to frighten the farmer, but he still
continued to come at them. and then
the other boy aimed at he farmer's
logs. This is the shot and the only
one. the boys claim, that took effect.

The boys also claim that they can
produce witnesses to testify that the
farmer had shot at persons several
times before and that they were afraid
he would try it with them. The par-
ents of both boys are very much wor~
ried over the affair and state that they
would not have had it happen for any-
thing. Walters was admonished by
his grandmother not to go out on the
afternoon of the accident but to return
to his work.

Tire severity of the sentence impos-
ed will depend upon how badly the
farmer is hurt. and whether his story
or the boys‘ story is true. in the
meantime Chandra is reported to be
getting along nicely and so far no scr-
ions results from the wounds are
feared.

TROLLEY HORSE RAN AWAY.

 

Driver Beekman Thrown Out and
Somewhat Bruised.

A horse used on the supply wagon
at the Wilton avenue power house of
the Connecticut Railway and Lighting
Company became very frisky last night
and ran away. with "Dali" Beckman.
the driver. This horse has a habit of
running away and was up to his old
trick. He (lashed through Cross street,
over the iron bridge and turned into
River street and ran at break-neck
speed through that thoroughfare.
When near Mechanic street. the sway-
Ing turnout went into a telegraph pole
and overturned. throwing the driver
out. Mr. Reekman‘s knee was slight-
ly injured.

The frightened animal succeeded in
breaking loose from the vehicle and
dashed by Dana and Banks' stable and
out into Wall street. where it fell on
the brick pavement. James Moore
captured the animal and led it back
to the stall. The wagon was consid-
erably damaged.

SCOTTV Ri5R80N~~BOUND OVER.
Judge Lockwood Final Probable Cam
in London Amati Cue.

“Scotty” Piersohrj the self-confessed
asaaulter of ~ William London, was
bound over to the next criminal term
of the Superior Court. this morning.
by Judge E. . Lockwood in the Nor-
walk Town Oourt.‘ .‘Bieraon went on
the stand in his own behalf and told
such an improbable story of the as-
sault that the Ndsd told him there
was nothing else” for him to do but
bind him over. .Bail was placed at
$500, but Pierson? was unable to pro-
cure It and this afternoon was taken
back to Bridgeport to await trial in
the higher court. .

George Kartel, the witness who was
examined yesterday. was recalled to
the stand this morning and testified
the same line as previously. His
ideas of distance was very poor and
caused considerable confusion. The
fact was also brought out that accord-
Inc to Kartel the assault occurred
within a few feet of him. but be ap-
parently knew nothing of it.

William Petrle, an employee at the
Dunn & Banks’ stable. who accompan-
ltd Officer Hunt to the Fair Grtpmda
on the morning London was found.
told what he saw. there. He assisted
in taking London to the hospital. He
also identified the blood soaked cloth-
ing which was shown the court as evi-
dence. The coat. hat, handkerchief.
vest. stones and some broken glass
had been preserved by Medical Exam-
iner S. H. Huntington.

Pierson was given a chance to ex-
plain and said that on Thursday even-
ing. last week. he went to the rest-
dence of Dr. Ohio in Union avenue. ac~
companied by Loudon. He said he
went to the house to get some money
that was due him and London waited
outside. The two then bought some-
thing to eat and drank together at a
saloon. He claimed they were. on per-
fectly friendly terms. Later in the
evening. London had mlied him names
while they were at the Fair Grounds
stable because Tobey Riley had been
hurt. He claimed he explained to
London he. had nothing to do with Ril.
cy getting hurt. but nothing but a fight
would satisfy London and one prompt.
ly followed. Pierson, however. claim-
ed he acted entirely on the defensive.

According to his statement to the
judge both were. throwing stones and
while they were on the track suddenly
and without apparent reason London
sank down and exclaimed "i‘m done."
Pierson claims he then told Loudou
that he would not strike him when
he was down. After telling the above
nothing more could be obtained from
l‘icrson though he was cross examined
at length.

BRIDGE REFUSED TO WORK.
Repairs Made to Washington Street

Draw and It May Open Today.

When Bridgetender John Cole at-
tempted to open the Washington
street drawbrldge yesterday afternoon
he found that this could not be ac
compllshed. despite all the efforts on
his part and for twenty-four hours the
bridge has been immovable. This
morning Harry Jaycox, an expert ma‘
chinist. began to make repairs and it
is expeced that the bridge will be op-
ened this afternoon. As a conse-
quence of the troube the propeller
City of Norwalk ha been unable to
make her regular trip to New York
and much inconvenience has been
caused by this fact. It is stated that
the trouble is due to the fact that
there is too much heavy traffic. When
the bridge was first built it was intend-
ed only as a carriage draw. The
heavy trolley cars, it is stated, have
gradually forced the bridge onto the
machinery below which operates it
with the result that very often this
gets out of gear.
