January 2~Bllrnetts Cor- ners, ill the town of Groton. has a bur. glary sensation, which came near re- sulting in a murder. The residence of John Caswell, who resides about ’a A . Burglary . mile from Old Mystic Village. was en- tered early this morning. Before the burglar left the house, he shot at Mr. Caswell. knocked him down, hit Mrs. Casweli over the head with a piece of crockeryware. wounding her severely, and was himself so badly handled by Casweli. that he left a trail of blood from the house to the village. Failing to shoot Caswell the burglar tried” to get away. Mrs. Cnsweil. in the mean- time. was endeavoring to help her hus- band as best she could. The burglar grabbed a heavy piece of crockerywarc and struck the woman over the head. knocking her down and cutting her badly. Caswell was also badly out about the head, but he pluckily con-.. tinned to tight his assailant. and man- aged to get in some blows that told on the desperado‘s head and face. Caswell. partly stunned by the blows he had received. and knowing that his wife had been badly injured. was equal- ly desperate to hold his assailant. and hand him over to the authorities. The burglar finally broke away and run from the house. DYNAMITE KILLED THREE MEN. Stick of Explosive Was Being Remov- ' ed From One of the Gangways. POT'I‘SVII.LE. Pa..
