NEW YORK.«Sopt, zit—By the mun
derous assault upon the detective who
today hrrcated a young man calling
himself Thomas ii. Price, a story has
been‘bro‘ught to light that A. Z. baub-
bers. an insurance broker. had been
assaulted, robbed and left unconscious
In a launch in the Hudson river a few
days ago.

The assault and robbery of Mr. Leub-
hers was ceinnlltted, according to a
confession which the police claim has
been made by Price, for the sole pur-
pose of getting money which the laitei
needed to continue to live In extrava-
gance and fashion. Price. who is a
man of athletic build, 22 years old.
well dressed, with every trace of re-
finement and education, was desperate
and threatened to end his life at the
lira: opportunity, the police sergeant
sa .

 

According to the story told by the
police. the assault and robbery of Mr.
‘LBIIbei‘S was brought about by an
advertisement In a New York news-
paper offering to sell a naphtha launch.
When a well—mannered young man
called on the insurance broker at his
home and represented that he wanted
to buy a naphtha launch, the broker
went with him to show him that it
was in working order. The two board-
ed the boat and set out for a run about
the river. When in mldstream, ac—
cording to the story told the police,
Price dealt the broker a blow on ‘iilt‘
head with a large iron wrench. telling
him unconscious to the bottom of the
boat. Price, It is alleged, stripped Mr.
Leubbers of his money and jewelry,
and even changed clothing with the
unconscious man. He then steered the
launch to the shore, allghted and push
ed the boat adrift. Mr. Leubbers was
soon rescued and towed to shore. and
film the story of his assault to the po-

so.

When Price was arrested today the
prisoner made a violent attack upon
his captor and other officers werecall-
ed before he was subdued and taken
to the police station. in the struggle.
Priced used a lead pencil as a weapon
and inflicted two severe stab wound:
in the detectives neck.

and Disappointment in love

A man whose name is F. A. Phelps.
from the initials on his handbag, and
whose home probably was in South
Norwallr. shot and killed himself
while in a furnished room on North

Main street, Hartford, this afternoon.
according to a despatch to The Sam
tinel. He was about 35 years of age.
and welludressed. A letter in his
pocket gives the impression that he
had been in financial troubles, and al-
so had'been disappointed In love. He
had $19 in his pocket. He had stopped
at a hotel in New Haven yesterday.

A telephone message was received
by the Sentinel this aft mean. from
Henry E. Bradley, who " id he owns
the building in which Dr, Phelps was
found, The landlady leased a room to
him last night, and this morning at 8
o'clock she went there, and found the
door still locked. ,

She looked through the keyhole and
saw Dr. Phelps lying on his back.
ii‘rom the position of his body she
thought something was wrong, and
notified Mr. Bradley. The door was
forced open and the man was found
dead. ‘

Dr. Phelps was the dentist who for
.some years conducted the parlors in
Taylor’s block In Washington street.

The South ' Nerwalk Methodist
Church was well filled last evening on
the, occasion of the benefit concert.
held for the Norwalk Hoapital, and the
audience was greatly pleasedwith'the
tine talent which appeared. The pro
gram was faiiltlessly rendered.

The interior of the large edifice had
been handsomely decorated for the
occasion with palms and chrysanthe-
mums provided from Hanford's Floral
Hall by the members of the iMies' Vis-
iting Board of the Hespltal. and the
platform presented a truly artistic and
handsome appearance. ‘

The audience was a very fashionable
one and appreciative of the musical
treats given them. The receipts have
not yet been deflnteiy estimated, butit
is stated that a neat sum will be noted
as the, result of the concert. »

The‘program rendered was as fol-

The singing oiMrs. Fisk was partic-
ularly pleasing. She was in excellent
voice and her interpretations were
above criticism. She was very advan-
tageously heard in Bcrceusc, by God-
nrd. ”Nature's love" by John Archer,
and “Song of Love" by Hammond.
This latter selection was particulm'ly
pleasing because Mr. Hammond. the
commsor, was present and acted as
her accompanist. it is seldom that
an audience has an opportunity of list
coins to such classical music with the
composers as interpreters of its tech
pique through the medium accompan-
ists. She also rendered with excellent
character,"Hcr Rose"; composed by
(lorrlt Smith. who has been stopping
at. Tokonoke for some time this sum-
mer. Mr. Sin th accompanied her.

Mrs. Snlit ‘s part of the program
comprised two solos. of which the

the

best rendered was "The lovely
Garden." composed by Guy d'Hard-
clot. She was in excellent voice

also and the audience was great-
ly pleased with her work, Her sing~
ing in the dust "Wort Thou in the
Cauld Blast." by Mendelsshon' with
Mrs. Fisk was a revelation of harmony
of voices and as the last notes tiled
away it was the signal for prolo ed
and enthusiastic applause. The p ay-
Ing of Miss Saleherwood Bette. who
acted as accompanist for the two sing.
era, was highly commended ”by critics
who were present." ’ ‘

The committee wishes all persons
who had tickets and have not made
returns. to dose. in order that they
can render an account of the proceeds.
