Charles J. Seeley, De-
serted. by His Wife and
Affected by the Sun.
lhreetens to Shoot His
Seven Chidren and Mr.
Batesf Horses

People in the business center of Dar-
Ien were aroused yesterday afternoon.
by hearing ll series of blood curdling
noises. investigation proved that they
emanated from the drug store of Sam—
uel G. Silliman. in the town hall
block. and in a moment or two Mr. Sli-
llman emerged from the building. He
was considerably excited and told the
interested group of spectators that
there was a crazy man inside. who had
been throwing tables and chairs at
him. and threatened to take his life.
Constable David Nelson Mather. and
saveral others entered the room in the.
rear of the drug store. and there found
Charles J. Seeley lying on the floor. He
was taken in charge by the officer and
placed in the cage in the lock-up. first
being attended by Drs. Large and Av-
ery. Here be caused additional exclte~
meat in an effort to beat out his brains
against the iron bars of the cage. He
was again restrained by a delegation of
cltiIehs. and after he had calmed down
somwhat. preparations were commenc-
eded by Selectman Waterbury for his
removal to Dr. (iivens' Sanitarium. in
Stamford. where he will undergo a
course of treatment.

Secley is an unfortunate man. for
whom a good deal of sympathy has
been expressed. He has always been
II hard worker and had been employed
for some time past by Contractor E. T,
Bates and drove one of the iattcr’s ice
wagons. Just one month ago Seelcy's
wife eloped with a .character named
Arthur Eldredge. and left seVen small
children on Seeiey’s hands. The young-
est is a baby six months old. Seeley
at the time advertised in The Sentinel
that‘heiwould not be responsible for
his wife'sdebts. but the matter preyed
on his mind and he frequently talked
of his troubles The climax came dur-
ing the recent, hot spell. w Seeley’s
difficulties and the sun com mined af-
fected his brain. He attracted atten-
tion yesterday noon in front of Aus-
tin’s block. by throwing the ice picks.
saws. etc..~at the horses. and threaten-
ing to shoot the animals and also any-
one that came ‘near him. Later he en.
tered Mr. Silliman‘s store and for a
time talked rationally enough with the
proprietor. Then the violent streak
came on. and he began throwing the
contents of the store at Mr. Silliman.

After Seeley had been restrained a
search was made of the Ice wagon. and
I 32-c'allbre revolver was found in it.
a bullet cartridge in every chamber.
Seeiey’s eldest daughter said that he
brought the weapon home with him.
Thursday night. and that he did not
sleep any. wondering. about the house
and threatening to exterminate the en-
tire family. The children were thank-
ful that they were alive in the morn—
ing. and they have all been taken to
Mr. Wood’s Children’s Home. where
the selectmen will see that they are
suitably provided for.

Selectman W rbury announced to-
day that every rt wIll be made to
locate Mrs. Seeley. and that be pro-
poses to have her brought back to Dar-
len and make her take care of her
children. it is thought that she may
do this now. as alto was afraid Seeley
might do her harm should she return
while he was about the town.

fell en 8er Cianechina.
Who Died in a few Minutes

The first fatality that has attended
the construction. In Wilton. of the new
motor main of the City of South Nor-
walk. occurred yesterday afternoon.
when Selle Gianechina. one of the ital-
ian laborers, had his life crushed out.

The man was engaged with a num-
ber of others on the twenty-six foot
cut through the propert of Theodore
Smith, near the Center cliool, in Wil-
ton. The work had nearly reached
the required depth, and the heavy car.
with a big loatd of rock and debris, was
being raised by the derrick, and had
reached a height of fifteen feet, when
suddenly the wire cable parted and the
car and contents foil. Glanechlna was
caught squarely under the awful load,
and was crushed in a frightful man~
ner. He lived only a few minutes.

A messenger was quickly despatched
for Dr. Andrew B. Gorham. who is also
the medical examiner for the town.
The physician responded within fifteen
minutes. but. the unfortunate fellow
died just the moment after his arrival.
never having regained consciousness.

The accident was one that. could
have been avoided. as the man had
been warned not to stand under tile
car as it was being hoisted. As it had
been up so many times without I mlo'
hap the workman probably thought it
would go all right again. and did not
step out of the way as he had been told
to do. and the other workmen did.

Gianechlna was unmarried and
leaves one brother in New York city.
A telegram was sent to the latter last
night. and he arrived in Norwalk to-
day. The remains were taken in
charge by Undertaker Raymond & Son.
and Medical Examiner GorhIIn gave
peImission for their removal to the
undertaking rooms in Norwalk.

The victim was born in Priscilla, its
sly. twenty-five years ago. His mother
and father are both dead. his father
having died a short time ago. He is
survived by one brother only, who
came up from New York. this morning.
to view the remains and to make ar-
rangements for the funeral. which will
be held at 9 o'clock Monday morning.
interment will be in St. Mary's Ceme-
iery. The unfortunate victim‘s broth-
cr was very deeply affected at. Hay»
.nond Brother's morgue. Hoyt street.

 

‘ Norwalk. where the remains now are.

He was unable to restrain his grief and
wept violently.

Geanechinl. who was about five feet.
six inches tall, had a remarkably per-
:‘cct physique. and bad the muscles of
.I well-trained athlete. He was said
to have been one of the the strongest.
men on the reservoir job.

MAY BUILD POWER BOATS.

 

MerchantI' Ind ManufacturcrI’ A‘Ico-
ciatlcnI Talk Over Now Company Film

A meeting of the Merchants' and
Manufacturers' Association was held
last evening In the office of J. B. Law-
rence. at which a plan was made for
the formation of a company which
will build power boats and launches
and auxiliary yachts in South Nor-
walk. There has been found to be I
great demand for these boats. and it
is believed that South Norwalk is par-
ticularly adapted for such a company
and that it would pay well here.

The matter was talked over in its
different phases and finally was left
to a committee comprising W. S. Stur-
tevant. Ste hen S. Hatch and Everett
Buckley. he report of thlscommitteo
upon the advisability of asking inves-
tors to form such a company will be
read at the next meeting of the mar-
chants.

The matter of the proposition of the
new screen company which may come
here. was talked over. The company
was not represented last night but
plans were made for submitting to the
company the proposition of this city
regarding their coming here.

Miss Alida Welsh, of Day street. for-

last Saturday employed as telephone
operator at the McKlbbin Company's

lously ill since Wednesday as the re-
sult of an overdose of laudanum, which
was evidently taken with suicidal in-
tent.

The trouble which caused Miss
Welsh to take such radical steps to
settle matters was said to he love. The
story runs to the effect that she was
in love with William Geer In employe
,of the Adams Express Company. in
South Norwolk. and thafi she became
despondent over some fa ling out that
they had had.

She went to the depot on Wednesday
evening. and took with her I bottle of

Fer [lewd

 

Judge layler finds
Sufficient Cause to Hold
Brakemen on a Charge of
Manslaughter. But Re-
duced Cal in the Sum of
$750

Dennis J, Dowd. Jr., charged with
manslaughter. was bound over to the
superior court under ball of $750 by
Judge Taylor in the town court. yes-
terday afternoon. There was not It
person in the court room who was
not sorry that Dowd was not to be re-
leased. it was practically admitted by
Judge Taylor that there was not evi-
dence enough before him to find Dowd
guilty. but that there was sufficient to
render it necessary to bind him over
so that he may have a trial by jury.

Court convened at 3 o'clock and the
little room was crowded to the doors.
A number of girls were present and
even the windowa were crowded with
faces which smiled encouragement at
the nineteen year old boy. for Dowd
has made many friends since he has
been here. Dowd and his counsel,
Attorney Benjamin Lynch. sat facing
the judge. Dowd. for the first time
since his incarceration. showed signs
of nervousness.

Judge Taylor began promptly to
give his decision. Ho spoke first upon
what devolved upon the court to
.II'Id in the case. that being av.-
dence enough to bind over, not
to convict. He spoke of the lack of
precedents in the law regarding cases
where brakemen had been found re-
sponsible for the crime of manslaught-
er. He said that the evidence for the
defence was rather of a negative than
of a positive character and that some
of it did not impress the
strongly. He was not ve
impressed with the (Mn ' "
fireman on the engine 0 -.
brakemIn. Judge T
it did not appear thIt '2
open and criticised “to t M that
the tar jumped the track. I .

"if it were a card In wt.
court had final jurisdiction, i should
hesitate a long while before pronounco
ing the prisoner guilty. I am frank
to say that at the outset of the case.
my sympathies were with the accused.
but i have carefully eliminated all per-
sonal feelings in the case and have
reached the conclusion that there is
only one thing to do in this (use and
that the matter must be passed upon
by a jury of the peers of the accused.

Attorney Lynch desired to be heard
at this point. He stated that Dowd
had been confined in durance vile for
three weeks and if the case were
bound over. it would be necessary for
him to wait until September for anoth-
or trial and although the boy had been
finely treated by the people of South
Norwalk. it would be a great hard-
ship to wait until that time for a trial.
Allusion was made to the fact that
the prisoner had been unable to se-
cure bail. as his family is very poor
and his mother had been trying to get
ball ever since his arrest.‘but $1,000
was excessive ball. as there was no
inclination on the part of the boy to
run away. He therefore asked that the
court reduce the bail to not more than
3500. which would be much easier to
secure than 31.000.

Prosecuting Attorney Tammany stut-
ed that the reduction of ball would
establish a bad precedent in the court
and that while his sympathies were
with the accused he must ask the court
not to change the ball.

Judge Taylor gave the matter core-
ful consideration and then addressed
Dowd. who atoodup. “Dennis Dowd.
the finding of the court is that you be
bound over to the next term of the Sn-
perior Court in the sum of 8750 to
await trial".

Just prior to the passage of sentence.
the mother of the prisoner. who had
been sitting in the court room with
tears in her eyes. was compelled to
leave the room to cover her emotion.
As soon as the court left the bench.
Dowd was surrounded by a crowd of

people who wished him well and who
prophesied that he would come out
all right in the end.

Dowd had recovered from his brief
spell of nervousness and Imilingly
thanked them. Mrs. Dowd carreosed
her boy and gently cried It the stern-
nm of the law. Dowd was then taken
to the cell room. where be but been
confined since his arrest

Dowd will remain in the local lock-
up until Monday as It is hoped thIt It
will be possible to Iecure ball for him
before thIt time. The scheme of get-
ting Icvon men cock to go his bail for
810. has been proposed. Ind possibly
will be tried.
