Board of school Visitors and
Citizens’ OptimiItice, Favor
Location .Near the, Armory,
Butlee Figures on Several
Other Locations
At a meeting of the Board of School
Visitors and the citizens’ committee
on the proposed new town high school.
last night at the office of the select-
ing; in the town assembly buldlug. the '
‘ q tion of a site was thrashed out for
an hour or more, but no definite decis-
ion was. arrived at, though the,site
committee rendered a unanimous do
clsion in favor of 'the"‘Marviu property
near the intersection of West avenue
and the Connecticut turnpike. This
would cost 337:50 per runni‘ngfoot on
the "West avenue side. amounting to
about $6,900 for the property, ,
When the committee's report was
presented there Immediately sprang up
a strong opposition to this property,
if the point of' this triangle could not
be secured by the town. The point of
the property In owned by the Baxter
brothers, wno, it was stated, intend
to erect a residence there.
The subject produced so much dis-
cussion It was voted that the committee
continue its efforts and make a fur-
ther report at a meeting to he held two
weeks from last night. Several pres-
ent spoke in favor or the Marvin prop-
urty. providing the Baxter laud could
also be secured. while a number of
others were in favor of it, Irrespec-
tive of tho Baxter brothers‘ property.
When the meeting was called to or-
der. Bradley 8. Keith. who was chair;
man. made a report for the site oom-
mlttee. lie stated that the committee
had considered in addition to the Mar-
vin property. the Cole property, Elm-
crusttthc Ella property, north of the
South Norwaut Methodist Church; the
Morrillproperty, north of William I3.
Rider‘s residence to West avenue; the
state property. 'south of the armory.
and the property on which stands the
residence of Mrs. Mary Stuart.
As a result of their investigations.
the committee had come to the unani-
mous conclusion that the Marvin
property was “the mo t desirable. Tho
Cole property; whic .‘would cont 325
per. running foot, or $5.000 for ability
ably large lot, was claimed to inane
objectionable, because of the'stoep‘ hill-
wbich would have to he climbed to
gel. to it. The. Hills property would
cost $18,000., which it was believed
Was too high allgure for the tours to
tackle. The Merrill property would
cost about $5,000. but this was not is-
vurcd. Mrs. Stuart absolutely refused
to soliand too much time would be
required to get hold of the property
south of the armory-owned by the
state.
Leo Davis moved the acceptance of
the report of the committee and that
the site chosen by the committee be
recommended to the town. A vote was
not taken immediately and Instead the
discussion began. Charles W. Bell said
that the frontage of tho Marvin DI’OD-
:u‘ty on West avenue was about 185
set.
A question regarding the nature of
the building to be erected was naked.
Abiathar Blanchard. speaking for the
building committee. said that for a
school to accommodate 400 pupils, an
architect had recommended a building
about 80x125 on a lot 150x150.
Doubt being expressed as to the suit-
ability of the property, Richard Gol-
dt-u asked if it‘ wouldn't be better to
take a little more time and look about
. further, if this property was not suit-
uiiiu ill every respect.
Leo Davis believed in accepting the
report of the committee, which he
thought had discussed the matter thor—
oughly.

Lillian Meeker’s ‘Story of Fake
Marriage Finished--Deleuse’s
Motion for lieu-Suit De-
nied by Judge Curlis-Mr.
Meeker Didn’t Think There
was Anything Wrong in Dam
ghte‘r’s Conduct
Lillian Meeker-h, side of the story of
how she was duped Into a “fake” mar-
riage in New York by Elijah l-l. Gray,
of.li‘atrlleld. was finished Monday. at-
ternoon In the Court of Commoa Pleas
before Judge Curtis. The girl's mother
wept upon the witness stand when
.she told how for two months her
daughter and the latter's child were
living in FaImeId concealed from her
so that no one knew their whereabouts
but Gray. The defendant's side of
the case was then taken up.
William Meeker, father of the plain-
tiff, testified that he had lived in Fair-
ileld all his life, and had known Elijah
Gray. or “Bub" Gray. as he was known
In that locality. for 25 or 30 years
Gray had been calling at Lillian‘s home
for several years, since she was only a
girl. he said. and as they had known
the two had been together so much.
they associated her disappearance In
the fail and winter of 19014902 with
Gray‘s conduct towards her, and be»
lleved he knew where she was. Mr.
Meeker said that a few days before
his daughter returned to the old home
with her little baby In June. 1902, he
met Elijah Gray. talked a moment
with him and then asked him where
Lillian was.
Gray refused to tell. although he did
not deny that he knew where she was.
He volunteered to take any message
the parents Wished to send her.
Mr. Meeker, when be ascertained
that Gray was the father of the child,
met him again. and asked him what
he was going to do for the child.
Gray replied that he had done all he
was going to for the boy.
The father said that Lillian used to
go away with Gray and be gone all
night. but he added that it never ocv
curred to him that It was improper for
her to do so. The father also said that
on the return of his daughter from
Gray's house he saw the marriage cer-
clergyinfinf‘ 'a‘li‘ri, ‘W'I'llai'u' Davisanfi
Lillian J. Meeker as the'coniracting
parties. It was marked "New York,"
but other than that he couldn't recall
the words of the Certificate. . .
Dr. W. W. Gray. of 346 West avenue.
Bridgeport, said that he had treated
Miss Meeker before she left Bridgeport
for Hartford. where she gave birth to
the child. She called on himpnNo-
venibor 7. 1901. and In January Gray
called on him and referred to the via
of Miss Meeker. stating that bows
interested in her, and wanted to dis-
pose of the child for her In. some way.
He inquired about the care etchtidrcn
In i‘oundling asylums and similar in-
stitutions. He called again the night
that billion and he returned frOm
Ilaiuford. and inquired more about
such institutions, btit finally decided
to take the mother and child to the
Golden Hill hotel.
Witnesses from the Golden Hill lio-
tel were present. who positively Identi-
fied Gray nnd Miss blocker as the per-
sons who came there in the spring of
1902. registering under the name of
Mr. and Mrs. William Davis. the same
name as they had been known under
In Hartford.
Mriv Meeker. mother of Lillian, cried
when reviewing the story of her daugh-
ter's being clrnronled In Fulrileld only
a short distance fromher home. from
Easter Sunday until nicer the revola~
lion was made that she had not mar»
ried Gray at oil, but had been duped
by a fake ceremony.
A sister of the plaintiff also testified
about. the friendship between Gray and
Lillian. who were acrustomcd to call
fit. her home in Shelton street, Bridge
port. before they wont. to Hartford.
When all the plaintiff's evidence had
been heard. Judge Banks made a mo-
tion for non-suit. claiming that them
had been no evidence introduced to
prove that the marriage wasn‘t legal
and the child a lositlmuto one, and
further. that had the clergyman not
been quailiiod to perform the ceremony.
the circumstances attending it made it
legal iii-i a common law marriage in
New York state. Attorney l'nliiuau
opposed the motion on the ground that
Lillian was a minor at the time, and
could not enter into a common law
marriage. Judge Curtis denied the
motion. '
