Stamford Man Who Shot Miss
Margaret Neville, of South
Norwalk, Unlocked Four
Doors at State Hospital, in
Middletown, and Walked Dut
William C. Carpenter, of Stamford
escaped again from the State Hospi-
tal for insane at. Mlddietown, Thursday
evening, between 9 and 12.. The autlt
oritles believe he had assistance front
within the institution and are making
a rigid investigation. At. 2 this at.
ternoon, no trace of the young ntan had
been found.
Carpenter was confined in the ward
formerly usedby convict patients and
since his return to the institution, last
March, when he was retaken by Cott-
stabies Schiecbtweg and Oefinger. of
Stamford, the attendant had instruc-
tions to guard hint closely. He had a
room on the ground floor of the build-
ing. There were a good many other
patients in the ward, which was
guarded by three attendants. A night.
watchman also visited the ward in the
course of his rounds. It was the
nightwatchman who discovered the
boy's flight. To get out of the place.
Carpenter had to pass through four
doors. All these doors were found
open. Evidently the boy had been
supplied with keys for the doors.
The Hospital authorities immediate-
ly sent ottt an alarm, and attendants
left the place to look for the fugitive.
The police in Stamford ‘Were notified
by telephone, yesterday morning, and
informed Mrs. Carpenter.
Carpenter was serving a sentence
of six years in the asylum, for attempt-
ing to kill Margaret. Neville, of 7 Val-
ley street, South Norwaik. He had
been paying the girl attention and, on
January 14. 1904, quarreicd with her
in front of her home and shot her
three times in the head and breast. It
was shown at his trial in Bridgeport
that he was mentally deranged and
he got off with the six. years sentence.
The girl recovered.
On the eve offighaukagtving, 1904.
he escaped from the institution by sev-
ering some bars. it was said at that
time that he had assistance from with-
in the walls of the Hospital. There was
an investigation, but nothing ever
came of it. On Wednesday. March 8.
Constables schleohtvveg and Dennger'
located the boy on Henry Millers
farm in Great Hill, N. Y.. and took
him into custody. At that. time Car-
penter's mental condition seemed to
have improved a great. deal. He talked
rationally and expressed regret for
the crime. He intimated that. he was
under the influence of another man
when he shot the girl.
Some tinte previous to this it
be remembered that Carpenter
missed, and a thorough search
made through the institution.
authorities in South Norwalk and
Stamford were notified. After about
a day's absence Carpenter was found
under a pile of blankets, in a storage
closet. nearly suffocated as well as
tamished.
No truce of Carpenter had been
found at 2 o‘clock this afternoon since
his second escape. The Middletown
police were not notified of the 080.8410
and in absence of Dr. Noble, the str-
perintendtmt, no particulars of Car
pentcr‘s method of leaving the inatt-
tution are given out. A number of
asylum attendants are known to have
gone ottt in search of Carpenter.

Petition Forwarded Against
Making a Pond of Oak Point
Creok— Mud Excavated in
Past Few Weeks Slipped
Badk into Trench—Men Have
Been on Strike and Caused
Further Delay
The United States government may
take it blind in the matter of e brill
ding of the Bell island bridge. which
is under way at present an a petition
has been forwarded to ashlnglon to
have certain work being done there
stopped.
When the wolk of building the new
stone bridge was commenced, some of
the residents of that section formed a
plan to convert the creek which runs
up past. the bridge into a large pond
which they intend to keep flooded at
all lintes. This was to be acctnnpllsh-
cd ill connection with the building of
the stone bridge by digging a big bank
of mud to prevent the outflow of wa
ter. A slulceway was to bc constrttc
ted so that the space could be kept
flooded all the. time. Many people
have been in the habit of using the
creek to keep small boats in, however,
and they did not view with a great
deal of pleasure the attempt to turn
the water way into a pond.
This waterway is charted by the
United States government as far up as
Oak Point, and it is dottbtfui if the
work is allowed to proceed, in View
o; the opplmillon of a nuttrircr of poo-
p c.
A large mud digger has been at
work for some weeks, digging the
trench and making a big mud bank on
the. water side of the bridge. it is ult-
dorstood that B. ll‘, DcKlyn is footing
the bills. The french and mud wall
were almost completed a day or two
ago. when suddenly all the rltud slip-
ped back into the trench. leaving the
situation practically as it Was prior to
the coming of the rttud digger. The
cost up to that time had been about
$1.000. and the work is still going on.
To make matters worse and still fur
ther dcluy the building of the bridge.
Contractor Dudley it}. Hoyt. had sortie
trouble with the men who were work-
ing on the bridge for him and several
of them went on strike. They are at
work again now. and it In believed that
the work of bulldin the bridge can be
hurried along corui dorabiy. it cannot
be completed until the pile driver.
which I... at work repairing the. trolley
bridge at Roton Point, has finished. as
the only tonnes of getting out of the
place is while the Bell island bridge is
torn up. florcaftor repairs to the flo-
ton Point bridge will be much more
expensive as a floating pile driver can-
not be employed.
Nothing has been heard as yet from
Washington in regard to the petition
to have the work stopped. but the
petitioners are hopeful that some also
will somt be taken.

Prosecuting Attorney Leo Davis
looked after the interests of the Hu-
mane Society, while Mr. Stafford‘s at-
torney is John J. Walsh.
The first witness to he heard was
Dwight W. 'l‘.hrall of Hartford gen-
eral agent of the Humane Society. He
told how the matter had been brought
to his attention. Thomas Varson, the
Norwaik agent of the society itad re.
ceived complaints about Stafford. bttt
the lattet. when spoken to, paid but
little attention to toe subject. As a
consequence Mr, Varson sent for Gert-
cral Agent 'lhiail and when he arrived
and had a conversation with the Ohm-
er he got but little satisfaction Staf-
ford said he had been driving the ani-
mal and would tontlnue to do so.
in Mr, 'l‘hrail's optnlou, the more
was suffering from lack of food and
water. He took charge of it and led
it to Dana & linuks' stable, and while
on the way it stopped at a watering
trough and drunk as though it was
famlshed He emphatically declared
that it was impossible to drive the
animal without inflicting pain and tor-
ture on it. Stafford told him that he
had a good stable. but he would not
put the horse in if. ,,.
In response to a quesiion by Air.

had been in the norms of the Humane
Society for twenty- five years and dur-
ing his life had had a great deal of
experience with horses lie described
the condition of the horse for the

about the horse from George W. Ray-

and the latter assured him that the
animal was blanketed, and that there
was a barn to which it hadoaccess
whenever it chose. Not satisfied. Mr.
Varson took ll trip to where the horse
is kept and found neither blanket or

Building, of Stephen Kvancz

About $2.000 Damage
A stubborn fire broke out about 3
o’clock this morning in the grocery
store of Jttilus Cauchy. and at 3:15
the fire alarm want of! like a bunch of
firecrackers. The department respond-
ed quickly and saved a part of the
building. The loss will Pmfi'abiy be
about $2,000.
The fire slatted from some unknown
cause in the grocery. store of Julius
Ganczy. at No. 7 Benton street. and it
gavotthe firemen much. trouble. Before
they could reach the scene of the fire.
the grocery store was gutted, and its
stock ruined completely. The fire
got between the ceilings and in the
walls and quickly spread to the so
icon ofStephen and Lizzie Kvancz in
the same building. thlc damage was
done to the saloon except by water.
There were two families living up-
stairs. M. Kvancy and Mrs. Gartozy.
mother of Julius Gancay. in the build-
ing. and they were awakened before
arty of them were suffocated by smoke.
They escaped into the street in their
nightclothes and were taken care of
by neighbors until it was an assured
fact. that the fire was out. when they
returned to their homes. They all
sustained more or less dartingo from
water, but little from fire.
Many of the women were badly
scared. however and several had hys-
torlcs.
The principal loss is to the building
which was owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Kvancx. This is a fifty per (rent loss.
Taylor and Golden carried 31.200 in-
surance and J. M. Layton a similar
amount. Mr. Layton also had an ad-
ditional policy of 81,200 on stock and
fixtures. Gancay's loss was total, and
amounted to about. $750. with insurance
to that amount with Taylor and Col-
den. He carried $500 on household
furniture and 8250 on groceries and
fixtures.
