MRS. DIXON'S STORY.
Wife of Dead Man Tells of Last Time
She Saw Hiovst Bridgeport Depot.
lilIIIIGIEl’ORT, April 27-—'l‘he Iden-
tity of the man found dead at South
Not-warn, Friday, was ascertained yes-
terday. He was John Dixon. of this
city. a cabinet maker by occupation.
and formerly employed at the A. W.
Hurriti Company's. He was regarded
as one (\I' the. bout cabinet makers in
the lily and Irild lived here for the
[lllill 20 years, coming here from Eng-
Iulrd when u young man. When Iii
yours at age he was employed ill the
shops of (lrannis & ilur.d and the. fore-
man of the shop at that tluro said yes.
terrlay that he was a skilled and prac-
tical man even thus curly Ill his car-
eer. He. was about 40 years old and
‘lved with his wife and two sons at 281
Lindiey street, One son Is 18 years old
and tho yolmgcst Is four years old.
Mrs. Dixoa's Story.
A week ago last Wednesday Mrs.
Dixon went to Newark, N. J., to visit
her sister. She says: "My husband ac-
romphnied me to the depot and had my
baggage checked for me, and bid me
good bye at the train. He was in ex-
cellent spills and Ill good health I
save. not seen him since.
“On reaching homo, on my,roturn
I'mm Newark, Thursday, l was surpris-
f'll when my son asked where IIIR,IIIIII-
or was.
“i replied: ‘l have not seon hlnl:
isn't be here?” My son told me that my
husband left the house Wednesday at-
ternoon to meet me as be supposed.
and he had not seen him since. I was
considerably worried to know where
he was, for he was a man who was
hardly ever away from lome. He was
not accustomed to drin ing to excess,
though he would take a social g‘ use
now and than witbolrfend, but he was
not Is the habit of soiling intoxicated.
l com not understand the meaning of
his absence.‘ Nday I saw in the news-
papers lhe_;account of the man who
was reported dead at South Norwaik.
arid the description corresponded so
well with that of my husband that I hurl
three of his friends George Eckalt
Thomas Birdseli and William Thoma!l

to ascertain If It was him
"1' hey went to South Norwaik and on
their return they told me that it was
unquestionably my husband. Ithcu'
sent my son to Bishop‘s undertaking
parlors to ask them to go to South Nol-
waik and bring the body hom‘e.
Positive of Murder.
‘1 am positive there Is foul play In
connection with his death. He had no
motive whatever for sucide His home
relations were pleasant and he had no
troubles of any kind to worry him. He
was not cramped for money: he had ‘
money by Iririi all the time, and on the I
last day he. was at home he lied 88 ori
89 in his pockets, and nry son gave him
~:erne money a‘ so that day. When he.
left the house there was not the first
indication of anything amiss with him. i
according to my son's statement and
he went out, expecting to return. as I
understand with me. I feel confident
that he has been murdered He had not

one. thing that is strange to us Is that
no money was found on him."

The {nets of the case were reported i
to C r Dnlv who held a prelim-
inary Intristlgarioii yesterday, talking
with the {lien who identified the body.
He said he had asked tile medical ex
aminer to make a careful investigation
to show if possible hether the case Is

Examiner Huntington, of South Nor.

stand all the features of this case. i!
am not at present prepared to say
that the case lira, suicide or that it is i
a murder. it Is evidently the one or
the other. but the circumstances are
sumewhat peculiar. -
"The spot where tho~ body was
found was a lonely one, and a place
where a man would not be likely to
go unattended. It was off to the east
of Wilson's Point and while it could
have been reached by a man on foot
it would be only after along walk

If a man were to walk to the spot

mers tell me, who have become used
to the place by visiting It in their
calling that tracks once made there
would remain for several tides before
they would be obliterated. No tracks
whatever or any signs of such were
found near this body
‘ Wounds Not Fatal.

Last Seen In Saloon.
Tire superintendent of the Bridgeport
police department said yesterday that
the police had traced Dixon's where-
abouts irp to Wednesday night. He was
last seen hero In a saloon. At lhat time
be had no money with him. He had
been drinking some. The superintend—
cut to confident that the man was not
killed near here if It Is a (use of foul

None of Dixon's friends credit the.
suicidal theory. There. appears to ev-
erybody who knew him an utter luck
of motive for such up not. Dixon hold

But United States Will Not Join Ofllsi'
Powers in Opposing Russia.
PARIS. April 27—-’l‘lle foreign office
here. has received lengthy advices from
Washington regarding the feeling
aroused in the United States at the
steps taken by Russia in connection
with Manehurla. Tile despatches show
that the American government does
not Intend to join the powers in op-i
posing the Russian demands. but will
confine Its action to safeguarding Its-i
own commercial intwerests The ad-
vices also state that ambassador Mc-
(‘or.lnick at St Petersburg has been
instructed to forward Information on
tile subject to Washington? The of-
flotilla here say this will probably dis-
.cl 'that Russia's action has been
less radical than appeared at first.
ills View prevails that the powers
having political antagonism towards
Russia are responsible for the present
:.lgitatiou It Is stated that Russia's
demands do not mean a determination
of the open door policy, hilt only ll con-
tinuance under Russian administration
of restrictions similar tothosc now im-
posed by China. In government quart.
ore unmistakable sympathy with the
Russian attitude is shown. It Is claim-
ed that Russian interests in Mauchurla
and its proximity to Sibelia entitle
Russia to take supervisory steps.

unions affiliated with the Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of America
have retested the compromise offered
by the master l-urpcllti-rs, relative to
the new wage schedule to go Into effect
on May I It now seems probable that
unless the lillll‘l‘ agree to the demands
of the Brotherhood before next Friday
a general strike will be ordered, affect-
Ing nearly 15 000 men. The action of
the Brotherhood has been supported by
rue Amalgamated Association carpen-i
ters. which Is ilfllliafcd with tho Coun-‘
oil of Allied Building Trades, arid the
support. of the. latter is assured. The
Itrotherhood's demand Is for fifty cents
an hour after May I. The master car-
penters offered a compromise at 45
cents an hour after July 1.
This has been reje‘ctod. Efforts will
be made by the district council of the
llroiherllood of Carpenters to bring ab-
out an amicable settlement of the dim-
cultles. Special meetings of the con-
